Who Is The Believer The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 7 Title Explained

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for The Mandalorian season 2, episode 7, “Chapter 15: The Believer.”

Who is the titular character in The Mandalorian season 2, episode 7, “Chapter 15: The Believer”? Building on the devastating loss of Grogu to Moff Gideon and his Dark Troopers in The Mandalorian season 2, episode 6, “Chapter 14: The Tragedy,” Din Djarin begins making his move to get Baby Yoda back. As teased in the previous episode, Mando, Cara Dune, Boba Fett, and Fennec Shand recruit former Imperial sharpshooter Mayfeld from straight out of a New Republic prison in order to help them locate Gideon, and along the way the characters challenge each other and their belief systems.

Unsurprisingly, the events of “The Believer” don’t go exactly according to plan. Firstly, Din is forced to remove his armor and don the guise of an Imperial Stormtrooper in order to help infiltrate the base on the planet. Later, after he and Mayfeld are welcomed by the Empire as heroes for having fought off a group of pirates, he has to take off his helmet too, showing his face to the Imperial officer Valin Hess, leading to some tense interactions between the trio.

It’s in the discussion between those three characters that The Mandalorian season 2, episode 7 gets its title. In Mayfeld, it has someone who used to believe in the ways of the Empire, loyally (and perhaps blindly) serving and following orders before his exit. “The Believer” shows just how that has changed for him: when Operation Cinder – a scorched Earth policy initiated in the wake of Emperor Palpatine’s “death” as part of his Contingency plan, which led to countless deaths – is raised by Valin Hess, whom he previously served under, he challenges the notion of whether it was really a good thing for all those who died, even if they were hailed as heroes.

This shows the cynicism that Mayfeld now has in the Imperial message, and it’s compounded when he kills Hess and others around him. At the same time, the mission with Din gives Mayfeld something new to believe in – that there can be a better way, and that there are still things worth fighting for when it’s standing up to evil deeds. It contrasts brilliantly with another of the episode’s titular characters, who is its truest believer: Hess himself. Clearly an Imperial officer of some standing, Hess has completely and utterly bought into everything that Empire does and stands for, to the point that he comes across as something akin to a religious zealot. Between the two of them, viewers get to see two different sides of believing in the same thing.

Then there is Din Djarin himself. This episode arguably challenges his own beliefs most of all, and certainly in the most difficult of ways. Having long subscribed to the Way of the Mandalore, which states he cannot remove his helmet or let anyone else see his face, he has to do both here. And while Mando removing his armor and helmet shows just how far he’ll go to save Baby Yoda, it also highlights how his own belief system is changing. Bo-Katan and her fellow Mandalorians showed him there is another way, and slowly but surely, Din is coming to accept that in The Mandalorian, believing less in the old teachings he was raised with, and more in a new kind of future for himself. The concept of belief has long been a core part of Star Wars – most notably through the idea of “belief” in the Force – and The Mandalorian season 2 expands that in fascinating ways with these three characters.
