电影中的一个镜头显然是向导演的导师和偶像的致敬。
&34;Seeing Cobb Vanth ride what looked like one of the engines from Anakin Skywalker&39;s podracer is an entirely different thing. It&39;s these small Easter eggs that make the show so great. &39;Mandalorian&39; pays homage to the past without fully *** it a recap of the previous shows.&34; — Herb Scribner, The Deseret News (Salt Lake City, Utah), 30 Oct. 2020
Seeing Cobb Vanth 乘坐的是阿纳金·天行者的装甲兵的引擎之一是完全不同的。正是这些小小的复活节彩蛋使表演如此出色。&39;曼达洛人&39;向过去表示敬意,而没有完全回顾一下以前的节目。
Did You Know?
The root of homage is homo-, the Latin root meaning &34;man.&34; In me***val times, a king&39;s male subject could officially become the king&39;s man (or vassal) by publicly announcing allegiance to the monarch in a formal ceremony. In that ritual, known as homage, the subject knelt and placed his hands between those of his lord, symbolically surrendering himself and putting himself at the lord&39;s disposal and under his jurisdiction. A bond was thus forged between the two; the vassal&39;s part was to revere and serve his lord, and the lord&39;s role was to protect the vassal and his family.
homage的词根是homo—,拉丁语词根的意思是“man”。
在中世纪,通过正式宣布对君主的忠诚,国王的臣子「男性」可以正式成为国王的男人(或vassal)。
在这种被称为homage「敬意的」仪式中,臣子下跪并将手放在主人的手之间,象征性地奉上了自己,将自己置于主人的支配之下并接受主人统领。
因此,两者之间建立了联系。
主从的一部分是敬拜和服务于他的主人,而领主的角色是保护从者和他的家人。
