With the arrival of season two, The Mandalorian is once again capturing the hearts and minds of its loyal fanbase. It’s also resulting in the creation of some hilarious memes that poke fun or show appreciation for the more endearing aspects of the Star Wars series.
There’s always the obsession with Baby Yoda, but even the Mandalorian and his strict religious and cultural ideals are seeing memeification. Here are some of the best memes about the Mandorlian that only faithful fans of the show would appreciate.
10 I Have Spoken
Kuiil is a beloved fan-favorite character. One minute he can be a fierce and devoted friend lending aid where he can, and the next he’s a crotchety old man who does not wish to speak further. His iconic line for ending a conversation was immediately latched onto by the fanbase.
This hilarious meme demonstrates this with a hypothetical scenario that has probably happened to every child and their parent. Rather than offer a legitimate reason for not eating out, the parent merely cites their authority for the reason why not. Or to put it another way, they have spoken.
9 Mandalorian Or Baby Yoda
Ever since Baby Yoda revealed his fuzzy green ears the fanbase has been softly divided on the main star of the series. On the one hand, the show is titled after the Mandalorian and follows this grizzled bounty hunter as he shoots his way across the galaxy.
But on the other hand, many feel the show is more about the adorable alien with an affinity for using the light side of the force. As the meme points out. it’s an amusing rivalry with most fans happy to have both. Though it does raise the question about the future of the show if fans, and subsequently its creators, consider Baby Yoda to be the central figure to the story.
8 Weight Of The Universe
This clever meme probably alarmed a number of fans before quickly causing them to laugh. The Star Wars universe has had a rough couple of years with divisive titles, strange changes, and bizarre executive decisions.
As the meme points out, many fans consider The Mandalorian to be the franchise’s saving grace. Fans and critics alike harshly condemned the prequels, praised and hated The Last Jedi, and took The Rise Of Skywalker far too seriously. The Mandalorian has seemingly cut through the division associated with the fanbase to become a show just about everyone can enjoy.
7 The Helmet
One of the Mandalorian’s most important creeds is that the armor is never to be taken off in front of others. It’s unclear if this is for safety reasons, to preserve the identity of the Mandalorian, or to dehumanize the wearer. But it’s a rule that’s strictly adhered to.
It seems that even the body actor takes this fictional rule seriously. Where other cast members relax and smile for a picture, the Mandalorian keeps his helmet on. Regardless of whether it’s a tongue-in-cheek joke or committed method acting, it makes for a great meme.
6 Jawas & The Holy Grail
The Jawas are depicted in the series as devious scavengers who collect scrap, haggle over prices, and aren’t opposed to selling junk to provide for themselves. In The Mandalorian, they’ve also proven themselves to be fierce fighters.
This meme manages to tie the animosity between the Jawas in their Sandcrawler and the Mandalorian with the bitterness between King Arthur and the French soldiers in their castle from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It’s not a connection most would make, but the meme does a good job showing the similarities and tying these two properties together in an amusing way.
5 Mandalorian Budget
For a Mandalorian, their armor is their most prized possession. This is due to its combat effectiveness, rarity, and for it being a religious artifact. As a result, members of this ancient order consider gaining a full set of armor to be one of their main pursuits in life.
This meme shows how some could interpret this to be similar to the less financially savvy habits of the average person. Rather than put those funds towards debts, down payments, or investments, it often goes towards something meaningless to everyone else. At least the Mandalorian is protected by his poor financial habits.
4 The Cost Of Fandom
The release of The Mandalorian and a free one year trial of Disney+ courtesy of Verizon was no coincidence. Disney executives were hoping to get fans hooked on the new show before charging full price as the next season came around.
Fans with less money on hand were then presented with an interesting dilemma as this meme demonstrates. Wait until funds allowed the cost of a membership or turn to the dark side by watching the show for free through pirating.
3 Prequel Sequel
A cultural dilemma that has arisen from The Mandalorian is where to consider it in the timeline of movies. Especially when the prequels are distinctly kept separate from the other titles by the fanbase.
This meme shows how this distinction is getting complicated with side stories like The Mandalorian. One could see it as a prequel to the newer movies while other fans can view it as a sequel to the movies telling Anakin’s story. Considering it’s both, that makes The Mandalorian a prequel, sequel, and side story simultaneously.
2 Slaughter Jawas
For most of the franchise, Jawas were seen as quirky creatures who collected scrap and maybe tried to sell others junk. The Mandalorian is the first to suggest they might not be as innocent and harmless as they seem.
As the meme points out, The Mandalorian actually makes the strong case that they could be villains in a sense. They take advantage of a bad situation to steal valuable ship parts and refuse to turn it over to the rightful owner. Slaughtering these characters seems a bit excessive, but it has likely crossed a frustrated Mandalorian’s mind.
1 This Is The Way
Many Star Wars fans were perhaps skeptical of the new TV show when it first came out. It was in the midst of a divided fanbase with questionable decisions being made in the franchise as a whole. Seeing that the family-focused Disney was producing a TV show centered around a legendary bounty hunter raised many eyebrows.
This hilarious meme accurately reflects how many fans felt after giving the series a try. It delivered on many fronts and provided an entertaining experience. It proved that creating a story separate from the familiar was a solid strategy.
