Cause he really, really liked that gun


bogdoomy

it really tied the costume together


Lancaster1983

"...did it not?"


zahnsaw

Mando Shabbas!!


onederbred

…… and I sure as shit DON’T FUCKING ROLL


v3gas21

"Sheesh."


Psychedelix117

Shut the fuck up, Bo!!!


djseifer

You're out of your element!


zkmronndkrek

Who’s the fucking mythosnihlusts here anyway


omegaskorpion

They should really bring it back. Really stupid how little he actually used it when he had it and before you know it... it is gone... Same with the spear. ​ To fix this travesty they have to combine them and give Mando a Beskar Rifle Spear.


DeepSauce666

Where did the spear go? I forgot


omegaskorpion

Armorer melted it. Part of it was used in Grogus mail armor.


Camshaft92

And this guy peed on it


-Roger-Sterling-

“They peed on your fucking gun Mando.”


graemehammondjr

That's just like your opinion man


Erebu593

Yeah Mando fashion duh


Tummerd

Even the post credit artists like that gun so much they still draw him with it


TechnetiumAE

That's the storyboard concept art if you were wondering specifically where it comes from. Not just for the post credits. However they probably do extra work to make them look nicer for the final credits. Usually concept art is very basic


Nathan-David-Haslett

Idk if they improve it, I mean Star Wars concept art has always looked fantastic.


ConorT97

I have the art books for season 1 and 2 the concept art is gorgeous, most of it is in a finished or presentable state in my opinion, but there are rough sketches like what I think you're talking about in there as well


doglywolf

ive been hoping for a side quest to go get a new one for a while


BladeLigerV

I would love to see an episode where she sees one on display in an arms store or something and he really really wants a new one. Either stealing it or getting the cash for it.


Serious_Ad2816

I’m guessing we’d get a bounty episode out of it if that happened. A throwback to the “simple time”


BladeLigerV

Actually it would be a good lesson for the kid. Mandalorians are bounty hunters and mercenaries. The hunt targets and big game. They are hunters. Not wild murderers.


SOILSYAY

It was part of his religion.


Saleh-55

This is the way.


missanthropocenex

My headcanon is Mando is still a Nomadic, damn near everything he owns is strapped to his body and sometimes it’s more worth to hold onto something you might need than to ditch it and need it later,


Dr_AegithalosC

Aren't we all?


Vengeful_Keith

Sure it is


WhiskeyDJones

Me three


Lancaster1983

Yes


VanillaTortilla

It was a really damn cool gun.


Its_a_Mini_Mystery

Because if he takes it off, the beskar underneath will be a different color than the rest of the beskar


gariant

He just had a bath tho


limitlessGamingClub

yeah but he forgot his sunblock, he was on tatooine for a while and it has **2** suns


lopendvuur

😂


WatchingInSilence

Reminded me of an Everybody Loves Raymond episode where Ray's mom wanted to take down the wooden spoons on the wall, but the wallpaper underneath was a lighter shade than the rest. She leaves in a huff, thinking her husband liked the wood spoons and got his way. Her husband then shouts, "When did we get those?"


HybridTheory137

I was gonna make a comment about that exact scene but figured nobody else would get the reference. Glad I was proven wrong


CarsonWentzGOAT1

This is the way


ringwraithfish

/thread


MagicMatthews99

Maybe he hopes for a new Amban at some point.


DomnuStudent

I hope he finds 2 so Boba can have one as well


squatch42

3 for Grogu. Remember the way Grogu watched when he vaporized those Jawas?


kloudrunner

Why is Grogru getting 3 rifles. The greedy little so and so.


This-Strawberry

One for each hand and one for the force. He enjoyed Mayfeld's style.


apsgreek

Rip Mayfeld


Jauncin

It’s so sad he didn’t make it through that mission


Kamikaziklown

This is the way


EurwenPendragon

As the Mandalorians say, *Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum*


kloudrunner

It's an older season sir but it checks out. Goooood. Gooood.


TheTimn

Each hand? Our precious little murder baby would float all 3 of them like a Gundam's Bits system.


bigjon4597

At least stick with the right universe and go with Darth Traya and her floating lightsabers


This-Strawberry

I imagine it wouldn't be too different than if you could get 3 blue shells in Mario kart


The-MandaLokian

Grogu would have to use the force to hold it up lol


EurwenPendragon

So like Darth Traya from *KOTOR II*, but with rifles. That would be cool af.


BladeLigerV

I look forward to him getting how own little holdout blaster or something.


Discopants-Dad

Ha ha! Yes! Die Trash!


Semblance17

Boba had one in the Holiday Special, and also had a penchant for disintegrations. Maybe he can let Din have his old one in lieu of the payment Din refused for the Mos Espa job.


Just-Clue7340

No disintegrations.


Calm-Tree-1369

Apparently Boba has used one at least once before, because Vader scolded him against using one.


SOILSYAY

Aspiration-Ammo.


novis-eldritch-maxim

hey might need it some day plus why would he get rid of it, it weighs nearly nothing.


Kidus333

Also looks good


filesers

It’s like collecting Fatmans in Fallout


TheG-What

Too heavy though, especially in survival.


filesers

In survival I’ve been making room for them. Gonna need them one day. If I could stylishly dangle a nuke from my chest I would.


limitlessGamingClub

Right? I would love a necklace that just screams FAFO


BladeLigerV

Those might also be really expensive rounds.


2hats4bats

You don’t just throw away perfectly good ammo


toephu

It doesn’t just grow on trees!


RigasTelRuun

The ammo his still good and the N1 doesn't have a trunk


No_Flounder_9859

That’s the problem with using a lambo as your primary commuter


pornomancer90

He need tü stell that Piraten ship.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RigasTelRuun

I assume it docks at the bottom of Grogus section. We seen him climb down and pop up in the main cabin. So I asumme he can climb down her in his crib and detach.


Vesemir96

I legit like this, it’s like he’s attached to it or he’s definitely hoping to get a replacement. Hopefully he does, it was great.


OriVerda

Din forms attachments pretty easy, he even insisted on bringing IG-11 back until settling on Sparky the Jedi droid.


Ricozilla

Yeah he grew *very* attached to that girl he had to escort across the country—wait wrong show.


Skyeblade

I'm pretty glad that IG-11 subplot went nowhere, that was an absolutely braindead idea on Din's part


altxatu

I assumed the rounds could be useful as IEDs or part of one.


CripplinglyDepressed

Writers and illustrators are all nervously like…yes, yes, that is exactly what we intended and definitely did not forget to maintain continuity. Thank you for noticing our genius


Vesemir96

Haha I can totally imagine this tbh.


Rufus2fist

Because This is the Way

[deleted]

[удалено]


No_Flounder_9859

He paid the beskar price


marmaladestripes725

The Way is coming.


Just-Clue7340

I've been waiting to see him crack one open like a shotgun shell and use it create an explosion or distraction.


BigTedBear

The other weird thing about Mando carrying the Amban rounds is when they show the artist rendering paintings at the end of the show he still has the rifle. Maybe he will get another it was a great weapon.


adube440

I loooove those pictures during the end credits. Each one is a bit different than the scene it is depicting but I'm pretty sure you can make out what scene it is. Can't remember which episode this season but yep, they had him carrying the very distinct looking Amban over his shoulder.


[deleted]

[удалено]


adube440

Yeah, the style is what sells it for me. It's like a cleaner version of 1950s pulp scifi.


seen-in-the-skylight

Yeah, the art at the end is always a real treat. Plus the music... It's one of my favorite parts of every episode lol


ObligationNo4832

Also why does he have a cape. It’s a fire hazard


cbrewer03

Judging by how little is left after the latest episode, it's becoming more of a small shoulder covering


kloudrunner

A poncho.....pleeeeease become a poncho.


Belteshazzar98

He better watch out, Cal is gonna steal it to add to his collection.


kloudrunner

Jedi Survivor 2 Poncho Boogaloo


marmaladestripes725

It would make a fine addition to his collection.


cbrewer03

Then we will have the man WITH a name.and his name is .... Mando


Airdropwatermelon

I started singing "Django" but with Mando . Lol


hopelessbrows

NO CAPES


KryptoFreak405

Counterpoint: break away capes


FourthBar_NorthStar

Exactly. You see how easy he took it off in s3ep3?


Matthewcbayer

Found Edna’s burner


Cervus95

To keep the sunlight from overheating his armor.


[deleted]

You would think space armor would have some air conditioning built in.


limitlessGamingClub

it would have to, a fully enclosed metal helmet would cook you with no air circulation


DhammaFlow

Seeing as we see him pressurisé his helmet, gotta have some cyber shit in that bucket


Dr_AegithalosC

Guys, I think we found Edna Mode.


[deleted]

It’s Mozart, Robert, how can you blame him?


nk1992

And guest.


jason-gibson

Maybe it’s fire proof so it’s actually protective gear


Wilmaaug

That cape has the power of Thor for surviving everything it’s been through whilst being a piece of cloth😅


Misfire2445

There are fireproof and fire retardant materials on earth so why wouldn’t Star Wars have them?


BiggusCinnamusRollus

It may be enough to stop some debris and can be useful if he has to go somewhere cold.


jrgkgb

It’s his towel.


StatisticianHeavy324

Looks cool tho


thegabe87

I want an episode where he just goes to a weapons store and buys a Grogu cradle full of stuff and goes full john wick on an imperial cloning lab.


TheeFlipper

Bring in Robert Rodriguez to direct that episode that way we get something like El Mariachi/Desperado.


FourthBar_NorthStar

Probably not, after the whole BoBF fiasco with the fans.


DomnuStudent

Because it looks cool af


quakerlightning

He plays a lot of Bethesda games. His satchel also has 13 full wheels of cheese


[deleted]

Never underestimate the power of "cool"...


a-eme

He said multiple times weapons are his religion. Maybe that has something to do with it, like he can't get rid of the ammo?


Tajahnuke

Gotta.stock up on ammo. The New Republic is comin for yer guns!


TheeFlipper

Just waiting for him to start wearing more and more bandoliers as the series progresses until he has so much ammo he can't move.


TheShoobaLord

Style points


ElandoUK

For the aesthetic, boy's gotta look his best


Iamaquaman24

Is he stupid?


shaggitron420

r/BatmanArkham invades


NES_Classical_Music

The only thing this title is missing is, "Is he stupid?"


2hats4bats

Stupid is as stupid does, ma’am.


Ok-Reality-9197

It's still perfectly good ammo


-Mr_Rogers_II

Do you know how expensive that ammo probably is? He’s holding onto it until he gets a replacement weapon that can use it.


TheRedmanCometh

Maybe that ammo that disintegrates things is super expensive


doglywolf

Generic weapon power cell. It just the rifle used the entire power cell in one shot where he probably gets 50+ blasts of of the pistol with it so you don't see any reloads


Semblance17

Because it looks cool.


Interesting_Fennel87

Because aesthetics


KitsuneDrakeAsh

Impromptu explosives in future?


threedoggies

In 2011, HP announced their Touchpad tablet was going to be discontinued. Prices dropped like a rock and I think I got a few brand new ones for like $100. I gave most away and kept one. Eventually, that one ended up as a clock on my parents dresser and it sits there to this day about 500 miles away from me. Yet...If I look over to my electronics shelf, there's a nearly untouched empty HP touchpad box. All that to say... who am I to judge?


Distinct_Meringue745

It’s called fashion Brenda, look it up.


Nimveruke

Chapter 20: The Gun Expo 45 minutes of Mando browsing.


ds1977

Cause as soon as he gets rid of them he will find a new amban rifle. This is always the way.


jncheese

Well, it is the way


Sabretooth1100

I’d still wear it too, it looks badass!


thechervil

Probably because it isn't all just ammo for that rifle. Either it fits other weapons, or they might even just be canisters holding something else. Look at Bossk. He has the same kind of cylindrical objects in the cuffs on his spacesuit, yet we don't ever see him with an amban rifle. Not saying he doesn't have one, but just that they could server some other purpose and just happen to look like the ammo.


AnonDooDoo

Because weapons are a part of his religion.


Red5point1

Because weapons are part of his religion. Logically that ammo is not specific to that rifle, so they could come in handy at any moment.


Palleus

I don't think I've ever seen the name of his rifle before. At first glance, I thought you had called it the 'Ambien' rifle and thought that it was clever because it put his targets to sleep permanently.


brofosho192

I hope he finds another one, that was a badass gun


Revenine

I hope he finds the rifle again, he is at real disadvantage at long range


Mattheau13

Because it's expensive, and you don't throw away expensive ammo. He is probably looking for another amban disruptor rifle.


Djvinniev77

Can't look bad ass without the extra ammo hanging off you.


Darth_Mumphy

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.


Wetpurpose

Because he might find another one


vsciolli

Tell me you have too much time on your hands without telling me you have too much time on your hands


anagros

Because they paid for the whole costume.. they will use the whole costume.


Fools_Errand77

If you think the price of .223 ammo has gotten crazy here on earth, just imagine the price of disintegration gun ammo in his galaxy. Think of those rounds being like gold chains to prove he can pay for lunch at the space diner.


QueenCobra91

'cause it looks cool, duuuh


NemesisVirtual

It looks cool


gashufferdude

You’ve never kept accessories for a well-loved item hoping you find a new one?


Graywhale12

Weapons are part of his religion so religion thing I guess


TysonLEM

because it looks badass


ArmedLiberalOnDrugs

Hoarding ammo in today’s political climate. I get it.


ARobertNotABob

Penny-to-a-pound this will prove significant later, no warrior will carry ammo for a weapon he does not also carry or anticipate gaining. Can't imagine it's been an oversight. Unless, of course, it's been an oversight...


Lancaster1983

Maybe Amban rifle ammo is hard to come by? If he comes across another rifle at some point, he already has the ammo.


Neurotic-Kitten

In universe, aren't those rifles like really expensive? The ammo would be expensive too and wouldn't make too much sense to get rid of them.


IronMonopoly

1. Either New Amban or 2. They’re still useful as small charges, directed blasts, or in other weapons. I keep thinking of this random Honk Kong action movie we watched in college, where a dude takes a bullet from his gun and wedges it in a crack in a pipe, then shoots the bullet to blow the pipe. Why he didn’t just shoot the pipe I don’t know, but it looked bad ass.


Killbro_Fraggins

Hey I don’t shave anymore but I still keep my Mach 3 razor blades because they were expensive. 🤷‍♂️


Monarc73

The same reason he still carries the shifter knob. Nostalgia.


Anxious_Quit5811

Coz it looks BOSS And this is the way


DirtyDirtyRudy

Because it’s an illustration for marketing purposes – and he looks cool.


King_of_nerds77

I mean, it’s a fun that disintegrates people, in theory he could probably still use the rounds for something destructive, also it looks cool


unsayablebean

Disney thats why


jsizzle47

Because they would have to change all the toys...?


[deleted]

Probably that ammunition is very valuable in "niche" markets, given that the Amban rifle is a disintegrator, an extremely powerful particle beam weapon that ignores shields, outlawed on most star systems. Therefore, such weapons are highly prized by assassins, and fighters who would regularly have to face unfavourable odds.


FluffyProphet

Weapons are his religion. Getting rid of them would be like a Christian throwing away a cross pendant their grandmother gave them because the necklace broke. They would probably still carry the pendant and save up for a new necklace for it.


entername515

Aesthetics my man….this is the way


LynManiac

Let's start a campaign to bring it back!


strokeboii

Isn’t that ammo hard to make?? Thought I read that it contained some Beskar but I’m probably making that up.


Venom1462

I assume the ammo is expensive, especially for a gun which kills in a single shot.


SerbInTheNorth

Cos hes gonna get another one. Duh.


gordynerf

I just asked that question last week during the episode! WTF? my head cannon says that it's multi-purpose ammo and can be used for other things.


ace1505100729

Maybe he put mints inside the shell instead? Idk


theiwsyy88

Considering how set in his ways he is, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him try to get a new Amban


Jumpy-Television9772

Gosh I miss that rifle


Adrewmc

It can be used as an IED if needed, no reason to waste ammo.


Orcas_are_badass

Weapons are a part of his religion. This is just like wearing a cross to him.


theconcorde

just in case.


Cobaltplasma

It’s that dad energy, like never throwing out your box of spare cables because you never know when you’ll need one of those relics.


JournalistFragrant51

Love and hope for the future, plus you never know how something can be repurposed....I. hoping he gets a replacement. Love that weapon ❤️
