Not really, not practical ones anyway. I guess some people think it looks cool on Superman when he's flying, or even on Batman when he's rappelling down a building (plus it gives him the look of a bat, thus serving the purpose of his image, as well as I recall seeing in some comics that his cape is actually fireproof and bulletproof Kevlar that protects him) but it's still gotta be heavy as hell for him to tote around. But for the Mandalorian it serves absolutely no purpose, in all the action scenes I've seen so far in the show it just looks like it gets in the way.Burn wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Why does the Mandalorian have a cape?

Does a cap server ANY purpose by those who wear them in media?

Hard to believe the same production company made both. Regardless, I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. Is it true that season 3 won't be out for a whole year?

With Kathleen Kennedy in charge, it's more like trampling.Blastback wrote:Rogue Squadron is gonna be make or break for me. Treading on nerd sacred ground.

Yeah, it's true. It was touched on in an episode of the docuseries Disney Plus made about the series. It's actually very insightful, watch it if you haven't yet.Blastback wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Why does the Mandalorian have a cape? It doesn't serve any practical purpose.
Read recently that Boba Fett was originally designed to try to resemble Clint Eastwood. The visor was designed to resimble his squinty glare, while the cape was to resemble the kind of poncho he would wear. The original actor even apparently tried to mimic his body languge.
So that's why mandos have capes if true.

Mandalorian - Lead by Jon Favrou and Dave Filoni and a number of other directors / very little influence by Kathleen Kennedy
Filoni has a history with Star Wars (worked on Clone Wars, co-created Ahsoka).
The Mandalorian just has a bunch of people that actually care about what they're creating. Abrams isn't the Director or writer he used to be, Johnson is terrible and pretty much did what Kennedy directed him to do.
