this is why i always powder the fuck out of my forehead before going to a community meeting lol. you end up leaving foundation on 40 elders’ foreheads if u arent prepared lmao

pedropascals:

I know it’s essentially “affectionate head butting” but I’ve always found the concept of the Keldabe Kiss fascinating bc the actors who played Jango and young Boba Fett are Māori and in māori culture they have the hongi which is a traditional greeting of touching noses/foreheads

Like I know it’s probably not that deep but I’ve always wondering if maybe that partly inspired the above moment with Boba

that makes this so much worse:

FYI Jengo Fett’s (Boba’s dad) head is still in that helmet

11rooks:

Fun fact: Mandalorians touch foreheads when they want to show affection but cant take off their helmets. It’s called a Keldabe kiss. (This is also an ironic term for straight up head butting someone.)

i think about this tweet a lot

just wanted to add that one of the writers for much of the mandalorian content to come out when Legends was still the Expanded Universe specifically understood the significance of the Fett actors being Māori and the importance of the hongi, and the “Keldabe Kiss” was a way of canonizing that in-universe.

so yes, it is that deep, and it was intentional.
