Another post??? Wow!! (I have no life) 

Howdy everybody, I've been online recently and scoured the Star Wars side of the world and saw a frequent question.

Should the Mandalorian continue to hide his face? 

Now before everyone says, "It's part of his creed" "That's the whole point of Season 3" "He doesn't have to always show his face" I know. I know that's some clear points.

I will say this, watching the Grogu show I never really cared nor felt like it was necessary that we didn't see Pedro's handsome face or not. 

Maybe only see Din's face only for pivotal moments along the franchise

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In season 1 we saw Dins face when IG-11 was healing his wound. When watching that scene I was a bit skeptical since it was only the first season of the show and seeing the main characters face essentially so soon left me a bit sour.

In season 2, they showed us Din's face at the best time possible. Going out of his way to show his face to learn where Gideon's ship was located. Of course he also showed his face to Grogu, essentially his surrogate son. This to me was should've been the best and ONLY time we should ever see his face.

Now my one argument I have is that not every cool character has to be a faceless hero. It feels so cliche, it's getting old. With Mando's case, it feels right and necessary. I have seen the criticism for Disney Boba for never wearing his helmet after doing so in the OG Trilogy. Similar hate has been to Paramount's Halo character Master Chief, He is also hardly wearing his helmet (unlike in the game) so if we were to see Mando without his helmet it would probably lead to the same criticism. In the end, from what's being said, I personally would NOT like to see Din do what Boba has been doing. Seeing him showing his face all the time makes him feel less unique per say. I'm honestly fine seeing Pedro's face every now and then but what we've seen it's fine

Coming from me, I legit, (excuse the language) straight up deadass, I literally wear an astronaut helmet or some sort of mask out in public. At Megacon, I wore my Mando Helmet around, simply cause it's a convention and people won't judge. I just feel more comfortable with it and it makes me strong. Taking the mask/he(corny but from what I've been through, it just fits) And seeing a character in my all time favourite franchise, played by my favourite actor of this generation (fight me) it just feels nice.  

We could see his face in the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu movie, but that's just a maybe

What are your thoughts about it?
