The Mandalorian
Summary
In theStar WarsDisney+ tv set showThe Mandalorian , the representation ofthe Tuskens on Tatooinesharply contrasts the prior representation of the Tuskens inStar Wars : Episode II - Attack of the Cloneswhen Anakin Skywalker mow down them . tone-beginning of the Clonespaints the Tuskens in a brutal twinkle , depicting them as capturer and torturers when Anakin come across his die mother at one of their ingroup . After Anakin kills them for what they did to his mother , he even likens them to " creature " in his wrath , forget a dark stain on the legacy of the Tuskens as a whole .
Despite this depicting of the Tuskens as faceless , roughshod torturer in theprequelStar Warstrilogy , The Mandaloriansees the Tuskens asDin Djarin ’s ally , helping the Mandalorian to defeata krayt flying dragon . This shift in their theatrical performance is a fascinating and monumental one ; it takes an entireStar Warsrace and rewrites them and their acculturation . That Din would seek their assistance is a complete reversal of the Tuskens ' nature inAttack of the Clones , and it suggests that theStar Warsfranchise is beginning to explore some of its flaws of the past , including its perhaps unjust treatment of the Tuskens - andThe Mandalorianculminates this with itsAttack of the Clonesparallel .
What ’s the best way to watch Star Wars ? Here ’s everything you need to know to watch in release or timeline order , and how to let in the TV shows .
Din Djarin’s Ride Through The Dune Sea Parallels Anakin’s
The Mandaloriansignals its connector to this mass murder inAttack of the Clonesby mirror the tantrum in which Anakin is seen furiously driving a speed demon on Tatooine in an effort to cut through down and deliver his female parent . InThe Mandalorian , Din Djarin similarly rides a speederbike to the Tuskens . The fomite is not the only parallel , though;inThe Mandalorian , Din bring down a Tusken camp at dark , remindful of Anakin stopping to get steering from Jawas inAttack of the Clones , although in a very unlike context . The scenes also differ , critically , in the scope of their travels . While Anakin travels at night , Din journey during the day , expressing very different moods about the footing of their traveling .
These Scenes Paint Two Different Pictures Of The Tuskens
InAttack of the Clones , the Tuskens are little more than a game machine to trigger Anakin ’s gloam to the dark side by murdering his female parent , which fill him with hate and instills in him a fearfulness of loss that catapultsthe Chosen Onetoward becoming Darth Vader . Still , it seems they captured Shmi with no known motif , making them seem as if they starve cruelty for no good reason . Anakin slaughters them all for this ; he explicitly suppose he kill the men , women , and tiddler when he confesses his actions to Padmé . Despite that " confession , " Anakin is not remotely excusatory . InThe Mandalorian , the representation of the Tuskens is very unlike , if not the complete opposite .
InThe Mandalorianseason 2 , sequence 1 " Chapter 9 : The Marshal , " Din Djarin play alongside the Tuskens to contend the krayt flying lizard . Although they still must negotiate with the Tuskens to foreclose them from seeking retaliation on the township for a old struggle , which still somewhat tie into their history of fury , this kind of quislingism would have been abyssal based on their representation inAttack of the Clonesalone . Ultimately , their onrush on the dragon is successful , in large part because of the attempt of the Tuskens , who even gifts Din Djarin and Grogu a hefty chunk of dragon heart to take with them . This presents them in a much more convinced light as compared toStar Wars’past .
Din Djarin is , so far , the only role other than the Tuskens themselves who has march the power to pass on with them in their own knife , both verbally and with star sign language - further proving the strong allyship the Tuskens have made with the Mandalorian .
The Mandalorian Perfectly Reverses Attack Of The Clones' Tusken Treatment
Attack of the Clonespresents the Tuskens as explicitly subhuman , in particular in the line in which Anakin refers to them as " animals . " Even beyond that cruel phrasing by Anakin - and worse still , his genocide of the Tuskens - it ’s difficult not to perceive them in the same way establish what they do to Shmi . It is n’t unmortgaged what exactly her torture entailed , although imagination can often be even bad than reality , but she is tied up , attend up , clearly cut and injured , and she seems to be frantic , likely starved and dying of thirst . This torture does make the Tuskens seem to lack basic humanity , even if Anakin ’s brutality stay on horrifying .
The Mandalorianreverses this theatrical performance of the Tusken Raiders , making them more complicated and ' human . ' This is not the firstStar Warsreversal of the musical theme that Tuskens are nothing more than wild monster . Although taking place in Legends rather than canon , theKenobinovel , which details Obi - Wan ’s time on Tatooine after the fall of the Jedi , explores the Tuskens in a more complex elbow room by showing their family line relationship and dynamic .
The Book of Boba Fettalso pass a considerable amount of clock time developingthe Tuskens within Boba ’s tribe , particularly as the unity who salve him from the outskirts of the Sarlacc fossa . Despite holding him as a prisoner at first , the Tuskens welcome Boba in once he proved his allegiance and made him one of their own . Of of course , Star Warsnever really show Anakin ’s butchery in a prescribed visible radiation ; this was essentially his first major dance step toward Vader , but it ’s nice to see a task as major asThe Mandalorianwalk back the theatrical performance of the Tuskens somewhat .
