电影中的一个镜头显然是向导演的导师和偶像的致敬。
"Seeing Cobb Vanth ride what looked like one of the engines from Anakin Skywalker's podracer is an entirely different thing. It's these small Easter eggs that make the show so great. 'Mandalorian' pays homage to the past without fully making it a recap of the previous shows." — Herb Scribner, The Deseret News (Salt Lake City, Utah), 30 Oct. 2020
Seeing Cobb Vanth 乘坐的是阿纳金·天行者的装甲兵的引擎之一是完全不同的。正是这些小小的复活节彩蛋使表演如此出色。'曼达洛人'向过去表示敬意，而没有完全回顾一下以前的节目。
Did You Know?
The root of homage is homo-, the Latin root meaning "man." In medieval times, a king's male subject could officially become the king's man (or vassal) by publicly announcing allegiance to the monarch in a formal ceremony. In that ritual, known as homage, the subject knelt and placed his hands between those of his lord, symbolically surrendering himself and putting himself at the lord's disposal and under his jurisdiction. A bond was thus forged between the two; the vassal's part was to revere and serve his lord, and the lord's role was to protect the vassal and his family.
homage的词根是homo—，拉丁语词根的意思是“man”。在中世纪，通过正式宣布对君主的忠诚，国王的臣子「男性」可以正式成为国王的男人（或vassal）。在这种被称为homage「敬意的」仪式中，臣子下跪并将手放在主人的手之间，象征性地奉上了自己，将自己置于主人的支配之下并接受主人统领。因此，两者之间建立了联系。主从的一部分是敬拜和服务于他的主人，而领主的角色是保护从者和他的家人。
