Fans have always recognized The Mandalorian as a sci-fi Western, with the series hitting numerous plot and character beats associated with the genre that’ve touched base on everything from a lone gunslinger riding into a backwater town to save the locals from a dangerous threat to the sweeping shots of Mando and Baby Yoda traveling through the various wide open vistas of the planets they find themselves on.
Of course, the show is also inspired by classic samurai movies, which is hardly surprising when George Lucas was so heavily influenced by the works of Akira Kurosawa when he was crafting the Star Wars mythology in the first place, and Din Djarin is very much a loner in the Ronin mold, who wanders the plains alone without truly belonging to any race, creed or faction.
