What would we see in those brown eyes if we were given the chance?
You know what I’d like to see in the Mando movie? Helmetless Din fighting. Or shooting. Or having to otherwise physically defend himself and his son with his face uncovered.
Because every time we’ve seen Din helmetless, he’s been concussed or nervous or sad. And don’t get me wrong, I love seeing all the ways this hard Mandalorian is a soft man beneath the beskar… but I also wonder how his face looks when he’s doing those sometimes unspeakable things.
Does he channel the anger he must carry from having his parents torn away from him at such an early age? Does that rage burn behind his eyes when he’s cutting a man in half?
Or does he disassociate himself from the violent acts he has to engage in? Does he level a blank stare at his victims and look right through them as he takes their lives, telling himself he’s just doing what he has to in order to make credits?
Or does it pain him every time he has to kill? Does he revert to that frightened little boy from his memory and wince behind the helmet with each blow or blast, grimace as the life drains from his opponent, feel sicker and sicker as he grudgingly delivers death — the very thing that gave him nightmares as a child — because those who took him in told him it’s the only way to defend himself against a cruel and heartless galaxy?
Obviously this is part of the appeal of the character being helmeted constantly: we can speculate to our hearts’ content about what’s going on under there. And from the creators’ point of view, they can write a dichotomous character with Mando the killing machine and Din Djarin the sensitive soul being one and the same, and they never have to answer the question of how one feels about the other.
But it doesn’t stop me wondering how those brown eyes look when their owner is killing.
I wonder if we’ll ever find out… 🤔
