Title: The Mandalorian Might’ve Snuck in Star Wars’ First F-Bomb – We Can’t Unhear It
Star Wars fans are loving how “The Mandalorian” scene seemingly features an F-bomb. While we genuinely don’t know what voice actor Shirley Henderson said, viewers are convinced that Grogu was on the receiving end of the bad word. “I didn’t think it was true at first, because when watching it, I didn’t hear it, but upon further investigation … he for sure does say it,” wrote X (formerly, known as Twitter) user Link to Tweet. “Yes he did! I caught that and was like ‘Wait a minute, he didn’t say what I THINK he said did he?!’ and after the fourth time I was grinning,” added Link to Tweet.

Since Star Wars is a family-friendly franchise, it’s fair to assume that the alien didn’t yell “I’m out, Motherfer.” And even if the property decides to jump into R-rated territory, it seems wasteful to have the first Star Wars F-bomb be given to an alien and not Mace Windu actor Samuel L. Jackson, who is widely beloved for his use of the term. “I always thought Mace Windu would say the first ‘motherfer’ in Star Wars, but it was the Anzellans,” shared Link to Tweet.

While we’ll never know if the Anzellan dropped the first F-bomb, the bad word is already tied to Star Wars lore — kind of. Jackson’s lightsaber features an explicit reference to “Pulp Fiction,” the film that arguably popularized the actor’s relationship with “motherf***er.”
