14 The Mandalorians Could Have A "Family Rule"

Family May Be Able To See Each Other's Faces

The Way has been a mysterious religion through much of The Mandalorian, and many of the details of how the Creed works and is put into practice remain unknown to viewers. The logistics of always keeping a helmet on are tricky, and there could be exceptions to the rule for family . Din had no immediate family prior to The Mandalorian season 3 finale, so he never had a family member to take his helmet off in front of. However, Din is Grogu's adoptive father now, and there could be an exception for of an immediate family to see each other's faces.

13 Din Djarin Can Have A Private Moment

After helping Greef Karga retake Nevarro from marauding pirates, the Children of the Watch were given land on the planet to call home. Prior to that, Din had little private time to himself, as he always had to care for and watch Grogu. Now that he has a home, he could have more time by himself in which to remove his helmet, as Grogu is more independent and safe in their home. "Chapter 4: Sanctuary" featured one of Din's rare private moments, and he had no objection to removing his helmet then, though the camera didn't show it.

12 The Armorer Can Get Rid Of The Helmet Rule Once And For All

The Armorer Previously Allowed Bo-Katan Kryze To Remove Her Helmet

At the end of season 3, Bo-Katan took the rest of the Mandalorians back to their home planet, reclaiming it after the title of Mand'alor because Bo-Katan was respected by all factions of Mandalorians and thus "walked both worlds." This was a huge change in the Armorer's views about other Mandalorians who didn't follow the Way, and could be the first sign towards a larger shift in the religion. If she continues reevaluating the Children of the Watch's traditions, she might allow the followers to remove their helmets.

The Mandalorian: Din Djarin's Full Timeline, Backstory, & Star Wars Future Explained

The Mandalorian's Din Djarin has quickly become one of Star Wars' most iconic characters. Here's his full timeline, backstory, and future explained.

11 The Imperial Remnants Can Obtain Din Djarin's Morak Face Scan

In "Chapter 15: The Believer," Din and Migs Mayfeld infiltrated an Imperial remnant base on Morak in an effort to find and rescue Grogu from Moff Gideon. They disguised themselves as stormtroopers, but Din eventually took his helmet off to submit to a facial scan to avoid being caught. The Imperial remnants will likely be featured as main antagonists again in The Mandalorian & Grogu, and if they find the record of Din's scan, they could show Din's face in holograms.

10 Din Djarin Could Be Formally Initiated Into The New Republic

Din Djarin May Need Another Face Scan To Formally The New Republic

At the end of season 3, Din reached an unofficial agreement with Carson Teva, a pilot and officer for the New Republic in the Outer Rim, to do bounty hunting work for the galactic government. While their agreement is currently under-the-table, Din is an excellent bounty hunter, and word of his work for the New Republic could spread quickly. If the government hears about it, they could try to force Din to become an official employee of the government and require him to submit to a facial scan for their extensive records.

9 Din Djarin's Face Can Be Seen In A Potential Flashback

New Flashbacks Can Depict An Older Din Djarin

Din's backstory has never been fully explored. Aside from flashbacks to the attack on his homeworld of Aq Vetina that led to his introduction to the Children of the Watch, his past remains a mystery before he met Grogu. The Mandalorian & Grogu could explore more of his earlier days as a bounty hunter in the form of flashbacks. Since he will be training Grogu as a Mandalorian apprentice, earlier challenges he faced alone could be important to the way he approaches teaching and could influence the first lessons he gives to Grogu.

All 3 seasons of The Mandalorian are available for streaming on Disney+.

8 Din Djarin Could Get A New Paint Job

Din Has Yet To Update His Silver Beskar Armor

Din's armor has changed drastically since his debut, but his helmet has remained untouched. He is still the only Mandalorian in the covert with a shiny metallic set of brand-new armor, which sets him apart from other . While his armor is iconic, it could be time for him to customize it more with a paint job.

Armor painting could be a significant moment for the Children of the Watch, and Din might have grown enough to earn the honor by taking Grogu as his apprentice. This would also be a chance to explore the Way further and explain what the other Mandalorians' markings and colors mean. If he does have his armor painted, he might have to remove his helmet for the process.

7 Din Djarin's Helmet Could Be Damaged

The Enemies Din Will Face May Be Strong Enough To Break His Helmet

The Mandalorian & Grogu will likely raise the stakes for Din and Grogu. The main antagonist could be a big enough threat to do serious harm to Din, and could even damage or destroy his helmet in a fight. It would be an effective way to show the challenge the pair would be up against, and repairing or replacing the helmet would provide an opportunity to show Din's face. A new helmet would also illustrate that he is not the same man he was at the beginning of the show, and that he can rise to the occasion in the movie.

6 Din Djarin Could Be Injured Again

The Mandalorian Debuted Din's Face Due To His Injuries

The first time Din removed his helmet was due to his injuries in his first fight against Moff Gideon in season 1. IG-11 was able to remove the helmet in order to treat Din's wounds, as the Way of the Mandalore only specifies that Mandalorians can't let other living beings see their face, but it doesn't mention droids. This interesting loophole in the rule could be exploited again in the movie if he is seriously injured. Letting a droid tend to his injuries would allow Din's face some screen time.

5 Someone Could Surprise Din Djarin

Mandalorians Likely Remove Their Helmets While They Sleep

Mandalorians are allowed to remove their helmets in private, and they likely don't sleep with them on. If that is the case, a surprise attack at night might not leave Din enough time to put his helmet back on, and could lead to him fighting with a bare face. Since the Children of the Watch have an established home on Nevarro after season 3, their location is no longer a well-kept secret. This means that one of Din's enemies could find him, and if they are skilled enough, they could launch a surprise attack while he sleeps.
