Today we`re taking a examine the maximum critical bits of the brand new episode of The Mandalorian. The Disney+ display launched Season 2, Episode 6 on December 4, 2020, with the capability to supply a few vastly critical plot points. As it became out, not anything that befell withinside the display mattered NEARLY as lots as what we discovered approximately Boba Fett's armor. NOTE: This first photo in this newsletter is from an in advance episode – underneath that, it is complete of spoilers. This article must be examine ONLY after you've got visible The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 6.
The man, the armor
In this episode we now no longer handiest see Boba Fett again, we listen him speak. Speaking with Din Djarin (The Mandalorian), Boba Fett explains who he's and why he believes he is entitled to the armor. The armor, he says, became handed down from his father. This episode exhibits that Jango Fett became a Foundling – and indicates that he fought along different Mandalorians a few years ago.
The rocket percent rocket
Boba Fett's armor's rocket can break a troop service starship. We noticed in an in advance episode that his rocket percent is able to firing a rocket-propelled explosive that could break a land vehicle – now we recognize it is able to firing an explosive it really is lots greater big than that. AND lots longer-range.
ABOVE: At the top of this put up you will see Cobb Vanth, the primary character to seem carrying Boba Fett's armor in The Mandalorian. Notice the form and length of the rocket withinside the rocket percent. That's a extraordinary explosive than what we see withinside the armor on this most up-to-date episode – to every undertaking its very own tool.
ALSO note: Boba Fett mentions that he became aiming for the opposite deliver, in spite of having hit the opposite. As his scope shows, he became, indeed, aiming for the deliver at the left, however hit the only at the right.
Knee-primarily based totally explosives
If we handiest appearance to the stay motion depictions of Boba Fett, we have got by no means visible those knee rockets before. Now, thank you in element to the rockets, we apprehend that Boba Fett's armor is greater than simply aesthetically bonkers beautiful. We now recognize that Boba Fett's armor is PACKED with projectiles.
Beskar alloy
Hold on here – Beskar? The first we listen approximately the metallic alloy Beskar (in present day canon, anyway) and its use in Mandalorian armor is withinside the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode The Mandalore Plot. It became handiest on this episode of The Mandalorian that we learn* that Boba Fett's armor is made (as a minimum partially) with Beskar.
*This episode's inclusion of Beskar in Boba Fett's armor qualifies as a retcon. We've handiest ever heard that the armor became made of "durasteel" before – in a 2018 model of Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary, New Edition.
In The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 5, we see that natural Beskar pike deflect a lightsaber. Boba Fett's armor has SOME damage – even past the paint scratches – so we recognize there is nevertheless a opportunity that it might not be general and entire safety towards its eventual assembly with The Darksaber in a later episode of this series.
Where's the relaxation?
We're additionally searching ahead to identifying whether or not Boba Fett will searching for out extra bits of armor to cowl the relaxation of his body – due to the fact this isn't always the whole set. The Mandalorian additionally has a extraordinary design/set of armor, in all likelihood due in element to the less-than-best mobility supplied with the aid of using the unique Boba Fett armor. We shall see!
