I Can't Believe We Almost Got An Anakin Skywalker Namedrop In The Mandalorian Before THIS Jedi Was Even Mentioned

The Mandalorian

The Mandalorianvery almost name - droppedAnakin Skywalker , which has only added to my surprise that this one major Jedi has never been mentioned in the show . The Mandalorianhas an interesting connection to the Jedi . The show is markedly not about the Jedi or the Force , although Ahsoka Tano ’s cameo began to change that , and Luke Skywalker ’s appearance inThe Mandalorianseason 2 finalesealed the deal .

This is also clear simply by nature of Grogu being Force - raw — even with him walking away from his Jedi path inThe Book of Boba Fett . Yet another massive Jedi reference was virtually lend to the mix , too . In time of year 3 , installment 6 ofThe Mandalorian , Commissioner Helgait nigh name - drop Anakin Skywalker when discussing Count Dooku . While it would have been tickle pink to hear a computer address to one ofStar Wars’best fictitious character , this only makes me all the more surprised that we ’ve never heard a much more obvious Jedi name - drop inThe Mandalorian .

Obi-Wan Kenobi Was A Key Jedi Ally To The Mandalorians

Obi-Wan Defied The Jedi Council For Mandalore, Something He Very Rarely Did

Despite the substantial connexion Obi - Wan Kenobi had to both Mandalore and the Mandalorians , Obi - Wan has never been name - dropped inThe Mandalorian . InStar Wars : The Clone Wars , when Mandalore was under attack from Death Watch , at the time led by Darth Maul , Obi - Wan openly defy the Jedi Council to go protect Mandalore and , specifically , Satine Kryze , which is something he very rarely did . In fact , so much of Obi - Wan ’s character was oppose to the actions of Anakin and Qui - Gon Jinn , who frequently hold up the Council .

Obi - Wan openly defied the Jedi Council to go protect Mandalore and , specifically , Satine Kryze , which is something he very rarely did .

Because Mandalore was neutral in the Clone Wars , the Council did n’t require to intervene , even when Duchess of Mandalore Satine Kryze was asking for their avail . However , Obi - Wan ( who interestingly seemed to be exhibiting signs of attachment at this point ) pelt along to save Satine anyway and was even intelligibly frustrated with the Council ’s insistence on inaction . base on Obi - Wan ’s aid at this fourth dimension and even his link to Satine herself , one would thinkThe Mandalorianwould mention him .

Star Wars has introduce a number of wonderful romantic relationship in canyon and Legends , and these 10 are the very best of them all .

Bo-Katan Kryze Even Had Her Own Relationship & Connection To Obi-Wan

Bo-Katan Herself Knew Obi-Wan And All He Had Done For Mandalore

While Satine sadly died inThe Clone Wars , so she obviously would not be the one to name - drop-off Obi - Wan inThe Mandalorian , Satine ’s sister , Bo - Katan Kryze , is a massive character inThe Mandalorianand hump Obi - Wan in person . Not only did Bo - Katan body of work with Anakin Skywalker , Obi - Wan , and Ahsoka Tano at various points , but she was also well cognisant of all that Obi - Wan had done for Mandalore . In fact , even before his affaire in stress to bring through Satine inThe Clone Wars , Obi - Wan had done missions on Mandalore as a Padawan alongside his sea captain , Qui - Gon Jinn .

Granted , it ’s unmanageable to be too frustrated with the absence of any reference to Obi - Wan , given even Satine has n’t been cite inThe Mandalorian . This has been a monumental dashing hopes for years because Satine more than deserves the recognition , and it would make signified for that to take lieu in this show . While it remains to be seen whether that will eventually descend , for now , I am still shock thatThe Mandaloriancame so closely to mentioning Anakin Skywalker but still has n’t name - swing Obi - Wan Kenobi .
