What Will's Watching: The Mandalorian, the Mandalorians

We like what they did with the Mandalorian, turning him into a member of a military religious order. These Mandalorians have a code and sacred rituals which include never showing one's face, though they can remove the helmets in private, we were wondering about that. The armor is all important and part of the Mandalorians sacred rituals. We enjoyed a flashback scene where a squad of Mandalorians swoops into a village and fights Imperial kill droids, no friends of the Empire are they. When our own Mandalorian takes off with baby Yoda, breaking a bounty hunter guild code, we had expected the order to cast him out. But no, his fellow Mandalorians join him in battle. All for one, it seems. Curiously, when presented with Baby Yoda, the Mandalorians seem unaware of the force and the Jedi Order.
