I know I'm super late to the party here, but has nobody mentioned here the
multiple references to
The Star Wars Holiday Special in the first episode of The Mandalorian, effectively cementing that disaster even further into Star Wars canon?
Spoiler (click to toggle):
Mando's first bounty talks about celebrating Life Day while he's rummaging through the ship's lower deck. |
Spoiler (click to toggle):
The dude that teaches him to ride those warthog-bear things mentions how Mandalorians used to ride the "mythosaur", presumably the dinosaur-looking thing in the animated segment. |
Spoiler (click to toggle):
Mando's disintegration rifle thing (jeez, I'm really bad with names today) looks just like the forked weapon Boba Fett had in the animated segment. |
I suppose I should be ashamed for my ears perking up and immediately noticing these references when I first heard them.
