”This is the way”

An innocuous phrase that is not quite how it appears. Originating in the Disney+ Star Wars television series The Mandalorian[1], the phrase is a mantra[2] used among the Mandalorian people. Reddit loves pop-culture references, and you will often find comment chains of nothing but this saying[3] in the most unlikely places, and there is even a bot that counts the times a user has quoted it.

It is by no means the only catchphrase Reddit used in this way; a few years ago, Reddit embraced the show “Game of Thrones” where It Is Known[4] became the definitive end to any debate.

r/BabyYoda is dedicated to The Child, r/TheMandalorianTV is dedicated to the TV series, and r/Mandalorian is a dedicated costuming and culture subreddit.
