Taking one quote from the prequels and running with it all the way to space. Also, combined a couple of requests from a while ago. š

May the Fourth be with you!
In honor of Star Wars day, here's my collection of Grogu plushies and dolls. I went through a huge Mandalorian phase two years ago, which is when I got most of these.
And here's a bonus of me dressed up as Mando with the baby
I have a considerable amount of other Star Wars related goodies, but we'll just do the plushies for now. Unless people actually want to see what else I have?
Oh dear. Several months late, but here we go. This will be a broad term overview of mando armor in canon at the moment, not an exhaustive list. Feel free to skip āmaterials & historyā if youād just like some more concrete guidelines and refs!Ā
(Remember to click on the images for a better look!)
A Small Intro Course
Mandalorian armor is supposed to be made out of beskar, an alloy (and yes all beskar is an alloy in disney canon (at least as of May 2021), like steel for example. Yes evenĀ āpureā beskar). The secrets of how to make it is limited to the Mandalorians, and the materials used to make it are most likely limited to Mandalore or the Mandalore system. Itās been in confirmed use as an armor material for at least 900 years & can take straight blaster bolts or hold off the circulating energy blade of a lightsaber for short periods of time, possibly until the beskar heats up enough to loose its integrity, but the heat would most likely cause serious damage to the wearers body before that.
Beskar armor is most often inherited, passed from generation to generation and reforged to suit the current wearers needs. Itās seen as passing down the history, the battles and the will of those who have worn it before and making it your own. However the material is rare, possibly because the mines have run dry ages ago (old EU), or because war and/or the New Mandalorians stopping production. The Empire interfering by taking over Mandalore and trying to get their hands on as much beskar as possibly and then later āglassingā the planet while hunting its only known creators surely did not help either, in any case.
This means that not all Mandalorians had access to the material, or at least large enough amounts to make a full suit of armor. This lead to the make ofĀ āimpureā beskar that can take less of a brunt & armor made of other metals such as durasteel. This is most likely what makes up the majority of Dinās kit, beyond the helmet and possibly the chest piece, when heās introduced in S1 and he still wears pieces that might be one of these materials as of Season 2.Ā
Characters like Sabine Wren, Bo-Katan Kryze and Boba Fett all inherited their armor from their _aliitĀ _(clan/family)Ā through several generations and itās most likely already pure beskar based on its age and how it reacts to blasterfire.
The armor is most often painted and there are various designs and colors that indicate personality, achievements or allegiances, but that would have to be another post. (Would anyone like a post on Mandalorian armor fashion? Because I have thoughts)

Headcanon: Boba has mellowed quite a lot with age and instead of being angry all the time he's now just walking around quietly amused by how fucking stupid everything is
Yes! I think so too!!
After the sarlacc, things are different.
But theyāve always been different, heās starting to realize. Itās just before he couldnāt see the patterns, the way strings connected figures and players and events across the Galaxy, all of it some grand cosmic play for an audience he couldnāt begin to imagine. The sarlaccās consciousness, millennia old, had writhed into his, and though the worm had left its tracks remained, altering his perceptions. The human scale is such a small one.
Boba watches the story play out, himself just another player, and sometimes itās all he can do to keep from laughing. It doesnāt really matter anyway.
The freedom in that realization is astounding.
I just love her <3Ā
