Yeah, I think that’s exactly what’s being set up. If you’ve never watched the cartoons, you’re taking all these Mandalorian rules at face value, and you’re curious to learn more. If you HAVE watched the cartoons, you’re now anxious to see what happens when Din realizes everything he knew about Mandalorian culture was extremely limited.
It’s kind of slick, really. In season 2 (and probably 3) what happens is one half of the audience gets educated along with Din, and the other half gets to enjoy the pure drama of watching him recontextualize his whole life once he discovers the truth.
It’s a show whose first season features “This is the way” as a mantra/catchphrase, and whose second season is almost guaranteed to say “LOL no it isn’t.”
