Hey: More Sweaters inStar Wars, Please

I am a simple man , with elementary needs . I just desire my favorite space wizard enfranchisement to reckon with the conception ofgenerational conflictsand the traumas they enact on those asked toceaselessly fight in them . Oh , and also occasionally have a really nice slice of knitwear show up .

The latest episodeof The Mandalorian , “ The Heiress , ” is filled with some reasonably major revelations for Din Djarin and his little kinship group - Ilex paraguariensis . The arrivalof more Mandalorianscreated the opportunity for the show to sway Din ’s own minute perspectiveon Mandalorian cultureand re - enter a conversant Clone Wars face — plus tease apart theimpending reaching of another . But forget all that . I ’m here to talk about a jumper .

When the Razor Crest makes a very wet , rough landing on the planet Trask , it and its passenger are dragged out of the sea and onto a landing place dock by a local Mon Calamari . Din pays this Mon Calamari a thousand credits to patch up the ship , and we do n’t really get to see him again outside of the odoriferous Maritime Aesthetic he yield the ship ’s cockpit at the remainder . But what ’s most important about this Mon Calamari is his sense of style .

I ’m talking about this lovely knitted sweater he ’s jade . Cable knit , in the galaxy far , far away . Coziness among the stars . I love it .

My mouth was agape more at this Mon Calamari in a sweater than it was at Bo - Katan and her Nite Owls , or her latter promise of aJedi no moreon the planet Corvus , the next degree of Din ’s pursuance . I ’d offer a reason why that make me seem insightful or artistically amorous here — perhaps the banality of the normcore aesthetic , contrasted with the science - illusion of an exotic fishman , and how such an paradigm evokes a senseof grounded normalityin Star Wars ’ alien , removed weirdness . Perhaps something on how The Mandalorian ’s determination to put a man of vesture that is so tangibly human on an alien being is emblematic of the humanity it tries to supply to cultures and beings outside of Star Wars ’ distinctive spotlight .
