'Star Wars' fanatics know that the Mandalorian Din Djarin can't take off his helmet, and they are curious to know why Boba Fett takes his off always.
Once The Mandalorian entered our worlds just a little over two years ago, maximum Star Wars enthusiasts were given their first look at a Mandalorian. As a youngling, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) was adopted into the Mandalorian culture, later evolving into the bounty hunter everyone knows and love.
However, that is not the most spectacular aspect of his persona; no, that belongs to his devotion to holding his silver, beskar helmet on all the time. Unlike his opposite numbers in The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, Mando by no means takes his helmet off — why is that? We'll dig into that during somewhat.
For now, our large question has to do with former Mandalorian Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison). In his appearances in each The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, Boba rarely wears his helmet, choosing instead to show his face. Is this allowed? Why does Boba take off his helmet all the time? Will he be in serious trouble like Mando, or is there a reason he can take off his helmet? Let's in finding out!
Why does Boba Fett take off his helmet?
Despite assembling Din Djarin as a more abstract, faceless persona, The Book of Boba Fett envisions the titular crime lord with an established identity. So much so that we will most likely see his face greater than his duraplast armored helmet. How is that conceivable?
Well, if you can believe it, Din is among the rare Mandalorians who cannot remove their helmets. Other Mandalorians, such as Boba Fett, Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff), and Koska Reeves (Sasha Banks), are unfastened to take off their helmets each time they would like.
While Boba Fett, Bo-Katan, and Koska observe and embrace the Mandalorian cultural concepts and practices, they have no regulations towards putting off their helmets. If we had been to categorize them, we would say the trio is part of the more mainstream Mandalorian society.
In The Mandalorian episode titled "Chapter 11: The Heiress," Din discovers the reality about his upbringing, finding out that he's part of an extremist staff that follows the Creed.
Bo-Katan says Din was discovered and followed via the Children of the Watch, a group of "religious zealots seeking to reestablish 'the Way of the Mandalore'" thru various out of date Mandalorian traditions, similar to never eliminating one's helmet in front of others.
A 'Star Wars' artist believes that Boba Fett must've never taken off his helmet.
If you are a Star Wars enthusiast like us, then you already know Boba Fett spent nearly every episode of The Clone Wars with out his helmet on. But, we will be able to agree that when Boba takes off his helmet, it almost takes away the thriller of the character.
Ahead of The Book of Boba Fett, artwork director and filmmaker Joe Johnston spoke with The New York Times and advised the hole he would've most well-liked the infamous crime lord to put on his helmet.
"I never would have shown his face. I would never have had an actor underneath where he takes the helmet off, and you see who it is," Joe confessed. "I think that eliminates a lot of the mystery. Before that helmet comes off, he can be anybody."
The first episode of The Book of Boba Fett is now available to stream exclusively on Disney Plus.
