Things Only Adults Notice In The Mandalorian

The Mandalorian is a hit with all ages -- but chances are that only the adults in the audience will notice these nods, references, and details. From references to classic works of foreign cinema to Star Wars trivia, here are the things only adults notice in The Mandalorian.

Although it takes place in a galaxy far, far away, the Star Wars franchise can be viewed as a study of spaghetti westerns and samurai movies. George Lucas has openly acknowledged the direct influence films like Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress and Sergio Leone's The Man with no Name trilogy had on his "space cowboy" stories.

Likewise, Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau has also cited the two genres and directors as major sources of inspiration for his show — he's even been quoted as saying Din Djarin is a "deconstructed version" of Clint Eastwood's iconic Leone character. Another major Mando inspiration is the film series Lone Wolf & Cub, sometimes known as Shogun Assassin in the US. This classic story follows a disgraced shogun's executioner forced onto the path of an assassin, who must take his young son with him. He pushes the little one around in a tricked-out baby cart.
