# The Mandalorian & Etherean

I love Star Wars & Ethereum.

The stories of the Star Wars universe made me want to lead an interesting life. Ethereum has made the last few years the most energising and challenging of my existence.

I see huge parallels between the Mandalorian Way and Etherean Culture:

Mandalore : Ethereum Credits : Ether Grogu : Vitalik

Protect Vitalik at all the costs

Force : Protocol Dark : Extract Light : Create

Show the younglings the way

Fear : Trade Hope : Build

Creed : Culture Beskar : Solidity Weapon : Wallet

Empire : Meta Darksaber : Algorithm Moff Gideon : Mark Zuckerberg

Moff & Mark are evil

Jedi : Core Yoda : Dmitry Padawan : PadawanDAO

If you have spent time in the universe of Star Wars and the community of Ethereum, I hope you will agree with these comparisons. As Ethereans, we have started sending young padawan to our conferences to learn the way.

I hope the Jedi and Mandalorian can defeat the Galactic Empire together.

This is the way.
