Inside The Mandalorian Helmet: More Tech Than Iron Man? 

I bought a Mandalorian helmet from the Disney Store and I don't have any of those enhancements.🤬 Does anybody know what the DS return policy is?😡

It is clear to me that the helmets depicted in science fiction are far more advanced than the average helmet technology or cosplay helmets we have in our current world. In their universe, I believe they have eliminated the common issues we experience with our helmets such as helmet hair, sweat, and foggy goggles, as well as addressing the concerns raised by Steven A about vitamin D deficiency and White Rock's question about self-cleaning functions. Given that the helmets are pressurized, I assume they are equipped with a ventilation system to maintain circulation and a purifier to ensure the air inside the helmet remains clean. Moreover, I believe the helmet's temperature is regulated to keep the wearer comfortable. The animated series shows the neck base seals, which suggests that the helmets have been designed to prevent air leakage. The material used to create the helmet, such as Beskar, could be anti-microbial like silver, and I imagine they use antimicrobial plastics or materials for the interior components and electronics' coatings. The ventilation and pressurization system can also prevent the visor from fogging up, which helps to prevent condensation and maintain clear visibility. I believe that in their universe, they have figured out a way to absorb vitamin D through an ingestible form that maintains proper health without exposing the wearer to the sun, kind of like we do by taking Vitamin D supplements, but there it'd be more efficient. Some people may think that the requirement for the helmet to stay on ONLY in the presence of others is foolish. Still, I see the benefits, like preserving the wearer's anonymity and privacy. In a larger society, the rule may change to allow for helmet removal only in front of immediate family or clan members. Wearing helmets could provide additional safety, as traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect millions of Americans annually, and helmet use could prevent some of these injuries if we were to wear helmets here LOOL The helmets depicted in Star War are far superior to the helmet technology we have in our current world, and their designs address common concerns that helmet wearers face. The helmets' advanced features, including ventilation, pressurization, and temperature control, make them more comfortable and effective than our current helmets. The requirement for the helmet to remain on in the presence of others has both advantages and disadvantages, but it ultimately preserves the wearer's privacy and anonymity. Helmet use could contribute to overall safety and prevent traumatic brain injuries. So all the perceivable issues I see in the comment section don't apply in their universe. Sorry it's Saturday I had too much coffee and time on my hands as I am on vacation but still watching Star Wars related content. I am fascinated by Mandalorian lore and fictional anthropology. I guess I wrote in a way to address concerns some have because they wrote their comments as if the helmet tech would be from our world and make it relatable? I don't know, I went full nerd on this. I want to share more, but no one has time for that.

Here I was learning about the Mandalorian helmet and then I learned that Pablo Picasso stole his signature style from early Mandalorian work too. Now THAT is some lore!

Interesting that military acronyms have moved ahead since the lore was written with HUD only referring to cockpit HUD (where you can keep you head up and not on the cockpit instruments) and helmet displays being HMD (Helmet Mounted Displa)y or HMDS (Helmet Mounted Display and Sight).

There would also need to be some kind of air conditioning technology. That would cook your brain in the heat, as any soldier who's worn a helmet in the desert knows it gets hot, and if your head was fully enclosed you would be dead. You need airflow to cool you down. So there would have to be some kind of cooling tech, because even in a moderate climate, with trapping the natural heat from the head you would be sweating like crazy. In a hot climate your brains would be cooking.

The latest episode, Episode 4, definitely reveals more about Mando Culture in regards to the armor and helmets. Loving it!

Am I the only one who half expected someone to salvage that helmet from the rubble of Mandalor? A: It would've been proof, he was there. B: It can definitely be recycled.

In my imagination, behind the black glass would be a plate of beskar so you couldn't shoot through it. And the black glass would not be transparent. It would be a sheet of nano cameras that project a composite image to the inside display. The whole thing would be replaceable if it got damages, and any damage would only lower the resolution on the inside, not block the view.

I’ve always been curious to know if there’s an in-story explanation for how the helmets can seal when the bottom is clearly open. Does it generate a force-field of some kind under the wearers chin and around their neck?

I suspect these helmets have a light neural link to the wearer's brain through scanning combined with eye tracking as I don't think voice commands are an effective way to pilot a jetpack the way we've seen Mandalorians do so, among other things they can do without pressing buttons or speaking commands.

IMO, the Yuatja's mask is more advanced for hunting their prey. Then again Yuatja's are individual predators and the Mandalorians operates as a modern army that has a battle network to coordinate their battles. Just that they haven't had a full battlefield network since the end of the last Sith War after with Revan.

Just got an oldie goldie 2009 hasbro helmet and its quite sweet!👌🏾 This is the way

Finally I wanted to know about The Mandalorian helmet!!

0:40 - Your artistic homage to Picasso’s ‘Guernica’ was an interesting choice…

That is a neat helmet the vision i reckon.

The Orange helmeted Mando @04:12 needs to visit the Armourer and get his range finder straightened.

Lately I've been wondering this. Since they are forbidden to remove their helmet, what happens if they have to sneeze?

It has all the bells and whistles and yet The Mando needs to use monocular to scout out terrain.

The real big question is if Grogu will get a helmet with movable ears. And of course if his first words will be "the way this is".

Surely they could make helms with hinged or/and sliding plates and still adhere to their code? If it's still attached, they haven't removed it. Gotta admire their intelligence and ability to think outside the box over their many generations...

0:19 the armorer took off her helmet?? This is not the way!

They are pretty much the Yautja's of Star Wars Universe

They have Airconditioning inside the helmet

The guy explains Mandalorian helmet like it's a real thing

My bucket? To look badass, of course.

This is the way

Helmet hair, sweat, and foggy goggles; plus a vitamin D deficiency.

the helmet do have like a direct, mind link tho, think it it does it

Why is BoKataan hair bonnet electronic? What does it do?

So... it's like children putting on a VR headset and not wanting to take it back off ever again, lol, it makes much more sense now that they would not want to remove their helmets! :)

When I see a scene with all the other Children of the Watch and Din, I always imagine them thinking to themselves "damn, why didn't I keep mine bare beskar too" the chromed out "mando" set looks way cooler than painted Beskar. Not to say a painted set can't look cool (in animation they look better painted IMO) but most of them have what looks like mismatched pieces. The Helmets don't match the rest of their sets etc (these dudes must still be levelling up, or they just haven't worked out how to use transmog yet)

Wouldn't being labeled as an apostate also mean Din Djarin was labeled as Dar'manda? Which is also a fate worse than death if a Mandalorian was considered one. From what I know, Dar'manda were considered outcasts/exiles of Mandalorian society, to other Mandalorians, they were described as soulless, honorless, not loyal and spit upon the Mandalorian ways.

My dream is to die in this world and live in the Star Wars universe as a bounty hunter, with space-cowboy-pirate character vibes and just roam around the galaxy. That’s why I loved the Lego game and probably never going to uninstall it, it one of the very few things that keep me happy and not push me into depression and anxiety as I often get pushed by.

This sounds like a commercial

This is the way.

Would be great if there was a portable straw lol

Imagine this with V.A.T.S from fallout

Does it have a self-cleaning function? Coz that would get nasty fast. Hey just out of curiosity, are they allowed to take the helmet off when alone?

If I had a mandalorian helmet I'd use it to beat the crap out my enemies with (as its supposed to be so indestructible)

How do they eat?

why does this sound like an infomercial

Well sure, why wouldn’t Filloni get involved with the iron man tech of the mando … familiarity and all…

Do these helmets cut and wash hair?

James May? Is that you?

They gotta retcon beskar armor. Too OP.

when djin or others says "youre not mandalorian" im like "none of you are ur all humans "

My suit is clear

not sure anything has more tech that iron man lol, was over top the tech in chest is strange tho

the actor should’ve kept the helmet on during the entire series up until the season finale

What about food? Drink? Beard?

Who cuts their hair? That doesn’t make any sense.

I’ll have like some hacking top grade shit enhanced up maxed

and for all the tech, I guess they're still stuck cutting their own hair...

Haircut?

inflatable smart neck gators 🐊 🪖

the helmet she gave the kid on the beach looked like a toy.

Do Mandalorian wash their hair or face? Perhaps the ladies put on makeups?

"More Tech Than Iron Man?" Doubt it. Even going from the MCU, at this point, even that version of Iron Man just stomps out all cognate Star Wars tech so hard it's actually funny, like picturing the Hulk uppercutting AT-ATs.

There is *NO* way that the *Mandalorian Helmet* is more advanced tech wise than *Iron Man's* helmet! The only advantage the *Mandalorian armor* has over *Iron Man's* is that *"Besker"* is stronger than *"Titanium Alloy,"* that's it!

If only the mandelorian show was as interesting as the helmets

Ugh...The children of the watch. Yeahhhhh, not taking your helmet off ever is such a dumb law, the armorer walks around on such a high horse full of self righteousness. Realllly hope somehow her helmet is removed lol
