The Mandalorian, his son and the Storm Trooper is an ongoing Star Wars fanfiction series on Archive of Our Own, written by LadyIrina and illustrated by Cac0daemonia. The main focus is the relationship between Din Djarin (the main character of the Star Wars show The Mandalorian), and an original character named Corin Valentis. The series generally aligns with The Mandalorian's first season, with some alternate universe elements. As of September 2022, the series consists of twelve works totaling over half a million words.
The series is notable for being a popular series featuring an original character as one half of the main pairing. Many fans of the series have created fanworks set in the same universe, such as fanart, fanfiction, and other fanworks.
A common focus of fanworks is Mandorin, the pairing name of Din Djarin/Corin Valentis. By March 2020, four months after the premiere of The Mandalorian, Mandorin was included in the top 10 relationship tags for works created in The Mandalorian fandom tag on Archive of Our Own.
