So if you go by cannon he is most certainly not a Mandalorian. Surely enough, this says he is not a Mando but this says he is?

Rahul Kohl to play Jedi Ezra Bridger in The Mandalorian season 2? Sorry, this post was deleted by the person who originally posted it. Jango was. Even the Mandalorian from the new show wasn’t a Mandalorian by birthright but was picked up by Mandalorians and raised in their beliefs, which in turn, makes him Mandalorian.
