Din Djarin lovers, allow me to formally convince you all to also become Hunter lovers by watching The Bad Batch. It’s especially consoling in this Din Djrought.

Here are some similarities between the two:

Everybody say Happy National Boyfriend Day to them immediately

I miss being alone

when it didn’t mean being alone

I am once again saying that Din Djarin and Hunter Bad Batch are so far two of the only people to ever call lightsabers “laser swords” in Star Wars

Din Djarin didn't want to rule Mandalore, so he didn't. He didn't force himself into a "calling" or "destiny" he didn't want. Instead, he found a decent Mandalorian who wanted to reunite the people and reclaim Mandalore, found a way to make said Mandalorian the Mand'alor, and supported the people's efforts to unite and take back their homeworld.

Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Echo, and Omega rebelled against the Empire by refusing to align themselves with the new system, and Crosshair eventually joined them. Echo felt the need to "do more" and wanted to commit full time to much larger-scale endeavors; but the others didn't want to do that, so they didn't. Instead, they supported Echo and Rex by giving them a standing offer to help when needed, and they helped with much smaller-scale efforts when and where they could.

I just love that these stories show that you can still be a good person, a hero, even if you decide your priority is to focus on raising/training your kid instead of ruling, even if you decide you're not going to join the Empire (a dangerous decision in and of itself) but you're not going to go out of your way to pick fights with them either, even if you decide you're going to retire and give your kid/sister a chance at a relatively peaceful childhood instead of staying in the bigger fight.

Many times, heroics occur on a more personal basis.

And we need the small-scale heroes as much as we need the larger-scale ones.

Can’t wait to see Mr.Fantastic do the slutty knee

Din Djarin & Hunter: The Rhyming of Two Star Wars Dads (Analysis)

Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) and Hunter (Star Wars: The Bad Batch) are two Star Wars characters who both end up becoming a primary caretaker for, and ultimately adopting, a child in need. Their journeys share even more similarities than what meets the eye, telling a tale of love, loss, and eventual peace for each of them.

Both stories begin with Din and Hunter at their status quo. For Din, this is a lone life of bounty hunting, providing for his hidden Mandalorian tribe. He's good at what he does, and he seems to enjoy it. He's made a name for himself as "the best in the parsec" and he's proud of that reputation.

For Hunter, this is leading his squad to a 100% success rate during the Clone Wars. He's often described affectionately as a "frat boy" in this era for his behavior, which sees him acting much like an adrenaline junkie who truly enjoys the rush of battle and action. He enjoys the fact that the Bad Batch's reputation precedes them.

Then, both men come across a child. (Ironically, it's revealed that these children are both technically older than Din and Hunter, which is a fascinating similarity.)

No because Din and Hunter would genuinely be besties if they ever met like I don't even think my clowning is making that up

Just for once, let me look on you with my own eyes.
