Title
Is this the way? The Mandalorian's moral journey
Author
Abstract
This chapter discusses how Djarin’s strict adherence to the Mandalorian creed gradually weakens due to his evolving relationship with Grogu. His sense of morality seemingly shifts from a strong loyalty to the Mandalorian community to loyalty, caring for, and bonding with Grogu. This dynamic is interpreted mainly from a moral psychology approach, which is used to examine which moral values are included in the Mandalorian creed and how Djarin’s moral disposition changes throughout the series. Additionally, a positive psychology perspective addresses how Djarin’s character development throughout the series can be defined as eudaimonic (i.e., focusing on worthwhile aspects of life3,4), improving his well-being mainly due to his growing connection with Grogu as well as his shifting identification as a Mandalorian. This chapter addresses whether and how Djarin’s journey influences his moral values, decision-making, and his adherence of the Mandalorian moral code.
