Warning! SPOILERS for The Mandalorian, season 3, episode 1.The Mandalorian season 3, episode 1, “Chapter 17 – The Apostate” began with a kid being inducted into the Children of the Watch. At first, it seemed like mere eye candy for fans to see the Armorer craft a Mandalorian helmet. But there is a lot more to be gleaned from the oath the child swears since it is the oath every Mandalorian in the covert is bound by. He begins by swearing on his name, and despite likely being a foundling with no blood ties to a clan or house, he also swears on the names of the ancestors of the Mandalorians.
