What's better than an adorable green baby that is capable of stopping a Mudhorn dead in its tracks? If you're the titular character in The Mandalorian, the answer would be a camtono filled with Beskar steel. However, getting paid in beskar that was clearly stolen by the Empire from his people wasn't about selling out for Mando. In fact, it may have been the first subtle move at a possible rebellion in the Star Wars series.
In Chapter Three: The Sin, Mando's arrival at the Armorer immediately had the other Mandalorians talking. After all, the beskar he's brought to their place was stamped with Imperial crest. It leads to a discussion on what the Empire has done to their people, killing and robbing them of the steel that symbolized their race.
However, these conversations dwindled down as the new armor was completed. It's easy to think that it's a display of wealth and a symbol of selling out. This changes when Mando uses his shiny new armor on his trip back to the bunker to rescue Baby Yoda and kickstart a bounty hunter free-for-all.
The idea that he has taken back what was stolen from the Mandalorians and then stealing away something that is evidently important to the Empire is probably not a subtle act of rebellion. Nevertheless, it's proof that the Client and his benefactors should fear Mando.
