10 Hilarious Bloopers That Made It into The Mandalorian

Summary

The Mandalorian

The show's lighthearted spirit remains unaffected by some amusing errors, such as Din Djarin's armor worn backwards and a crew member sporting jeans. These mistakes, along with inverted shots and missing props like Din's pulse rifle, serve to add humor and highlight the difficulties inherent in filming action sequences involving armor.

The Mandalorian, Star Wars' first live-action TV show, displays occasional accidental foreshadowing of future events, such as a corridor shot hinting at a crucial moment. Additionally, small details like Din's visible eyes in his Imperial helmet contribute to the depth of the story. Despite these minor imperfections, The Mandalorian remains a beautifully crafted series and a significant contribution to the Star Wars and Disney+ universe. As it prepares for its fourth season, the show continues to hold its place as a pivotal live-action series without any reason for criticism.

The Mandalorian retains the lighthearted spirit of the original Star Wars trilogy by incorporating amusing mistakes into its storyline. These 10 hilarious blunders have made it into the final cut of the show.

10. Din Djarin’s Armor Is Completely Backwards

While discussing their plans with the Tuskens to defeat the krayt dragon in The Mandalorian season 2, episode 1, Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin and Timothy Olyphant's Cobb Vanth make a noticeable wardrobe blunder. In a few shots, Din's pauldrons are not only worn backwards, but they are also positioned on the wrong shoulders. The mudhorn signet that usually resides on his right shoulder mysteriously disappears in some takes, only to reappear on the back of his left shoulder in another shot. Considering the multitude of armor pieces involved in Din Djarin's costume, it is understandable how such a mistake could occur. Due to the constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, reshoots were not a viable option for the second season of The Mandalorian. Consequently, the production team had to work with what they had, resulting in this amusing moment that viewers can now fondly reminisce about.

9. The Mandalorian’s Jeans Guy (While He Lasted)

In the Mandalorian season 2, episode 4, a unique Star Wars character made an appearance - a regular guy wearing jeans. During a fast-paced scene in the Imperial laboratory, this guy caught the attention of viewers and became known as "Jeans Guy." Unfortunately, he was later removed from the footage as he unintentionally ended up in the shot. It turned out that he was simply a crew member who couldn't move out of the scene quickly enough. However, fans have warmly embraced him and he has even been immortalized as an action figure through creative editing.

8. Din Djarin’s Helmet Almost Comes Off

7. The Pulse Rifle Mysteriously Goes Missing

During the initial episode of The Mandalorian, while attempting to tame the blurrg, Din is forcefully thrown off its back in a seamlessly executed scene transition. Regrettably, as he plummets, his helmet is almost dislodged from his head, revealing a glimpse of the stunt double Lateef Crowder's chin. This occurrence was unavoidable considering the intensity of Din's fall, yet it brings about a comedic element to the show's premiere. It serves as a true testament to the challenging role of stunt performers such as Crowder.

After Kuiil bids Din farewell and leads him to the Nikto encampment in the first episode of The Mandalorian, Din is seen carrying his Amban phase-pulse blaster rifle on his back. However, when he arrives at the encampment, the rifle is nowhere to be found, suggesting that he left it behind in a secure location. Although Din retrieves the pulse rifle in the next episode, the whereabouts of his blurrg remain unknown. This decision was likely made to allow Din greater freedom of movement during his upcoming battle, but it's amusing to imagine him hiding the blurrg somewhere.

6. Razor Crest Scene Gets Reused And Inverted

Din's role in The Mandalorian season 2, episode 4, involves providing backup for his friends on Nevarro. His impressive piloting skills are showcased throughout the episode. However, it is evident that there was a shortage of suitable shots featuring Din. Some of the shots of Din are inverted, resulting in his mudhorn signet appearing backwards on the wrong shoulder and his bandolier crossing over his cuirass in the wrong direction. Perhaps this was done to recycle the same shots multiple times within the sequence or to avoid crossing the line of action, as demonstrated in this specific example. It is amusing to observe how armor complicates such maneuvers, especially considering that this is not the only instance in the series where this occurs.

5. … And It Happens Again To Bo-Katan Kryze

When leading the Mandalorians to safety in the season 3 finale of The Mandalorian, Katee Sackhoff's Bo-Katan Kryze receives some notable inverted shots. This is made more apparent by the presence of her two different pauldrons. Even if her pauldrons didn't make it obvious, the placement of the scope on her helmet, typically on the right side, would have given it away. The use of this technique was likely intended to add variety to the scene and extend its duration to accommodate Bo-Katan's dialogue exchange with Axe Woves. It's amusing how it also calls back to a similar moment in season 2.

4. The Mandalorians Charge The Imperials Before The Great Forge

As it turns out, the Mandalorians unintentionally foreshadowed their own pursuit of the Imperials in The Mandalorian season 3, episode 7, unaware of the presence of the Super Commandos. In the image above, the left frame captures the Mandalorians entering the cave for their rescue mission, while the subsequent scene reveals Din transitioning from the front of the group to the back. Notably, on the right, we see the same corridor through which the Mandalorians sprint as they make their way towards Moff Gideon's base, aggressively pursuing the retreating Imperials. Interestingly, Din seeks shelter behind the very crates they had previously passed. Although this detail may be easily overlooked, it inadvertently foreshadows a significant moment that awaits.

3. Din Djarin’s Visible Eyes On Morak

Though it may require careful observation, in The Mandalorian season 2, episode 7, we catch a glimpse of Din's eyes beneath the Imperial helmet he wears on Morak. This subtle detail sheds light on the underlying theme of the episode, serving as a possible indication of how the Imperial helmet renders Din more susceptible to his environment and potential deviation from his Mandalorian creed, compared to his usual Mandalorian helmet. Not only does this tidbit enhance the enjoyment of the storyline, but it also foreshadows the eventual removal of Din's helmet later on.

2. Din Djarin Can’t Follow Ahsoka’s Force Stone

Din's connection to the Force has always been elusive, but in The Mandalorian season 2, episode 5, it reaches a whole new level. As the scene unfolds, it becomes evident that Din's visor movement is slightly faster than the stone being carried by Ahsoka through the Force to Grogu. It's as if Din struggles to keep up with the Force, even when it is right in front of him. This discrepancy is likely due to the stone being added in post-production rather than physically present on the set. Nevertheless, it adds humor to the ongoing theme of Din's lack of understanding of the Force.

1. Din Djarin’s Visor Is Thinner On Tython

Upon Din's arrival on Tython in episode 6 of The Mandalorian season 2, it appears that his visor may require some readjustment. The lower section of the T-shaped visor appears to be thinner than usual, especially during his encounter with Boba Fett, played by Temuera Morrison. This alteration is likely due to the necessity of fitting the helmet to various individuals who portrayed Din Djarin throughout season 2. Thus, it is probable that this particular helmet belongs to someone who typically does not assume the role of the beskar-clad bounty hunter. The discrepancy is not immediately evident unless compared directly with another Mandalorian example, but it provokes intriguing contemplation regarding the intricacies of helmet adjustments behind the scenes.
