Since
The Mandalorian premiered, there have been hints that the title character may not actually be, well, a Mandalorian. During "Chapter 4," that's seemingly confirmed when the bounty hunter tells one of the villagers he's protecting that the Mandalorians took him in when his parents were killed. It's possible they were also Mandalorians, but the way he says this makes him sound like an outsider.
He also mentions that he's not removed his helmet in front of anyone since he was a child, and between the reveal about the Mandalorians taking in outsiders and talk of "The Purge" in previous episodes, it appears as if this race may not be as strong as they once were thanks to the evil Empire.
Another big reveal comes when it's confirmed that Baby Yoda is a he rather than a she. That's something most of us assumed to be the case after last week's episode, but it's now 100% official.
The Western feel wasn't quite there in "Chapter 4" but Cara Dune is a badass new ally for the Mandalorian, even if it does appear as if she's done in the show for now (IG-11 also vanished after one episode following a blaster shot to the head which took him out in short order). The plot continues to thicken, though, and next Friday definitely can't get here soon enough.
