> The flashbacks are about the main character’s childhood. I don’t think he was always Mandalorian - ISTM he was adopted into the culture. So the Mandalorian history is probably separate from his own back story.

Is part of The Way of Mandolores that they grow by way of taking in orphans??

In the Amory he essentially tithed some of his beskar to “the foundlings” with either him or the Armorer (forgetting which) saying as a mantra “The foundlings are the future. It is The Way.”

His story may be the archetype for Mandolore history instead of separate from it, and why taking on an orphan and making sure it is safe resonates with them. The bit with never taking off their helmets thereby making more cultural sense as the species we are underneath is immaterial - our helmets, our armor, what we haven _chosen_ as our skin, as our faces, is what matters, it is The Way.

Imagine though if you will a Yoda species Mandalorian!! Way!
