The Mandalorian
Summary
One key item uncover inThe Mandalorianseason 1 has become ridiculous after time of year 3 , and it concerns the backstory of Pedro Pascal’sDin Djarin . Despite being the nominal character of the first resilient - actionStar WarsTV show , not much has been uncover yet aboutDin ’s backstory , even after the termination ofThe Mandalorianseason 3 . The series established early on that Din was a Mandalorian foundling taken in after his parents were kill by Separatist battle droids , but away from a few details inThe Mandalorianseason 1 finale , everything else about his origin and childhood has since remain a mystery .
One of these detail , revealed by Din , informed viewing audience that Djarin was not born on Mandalore , and a flashback just after this revelation showed he was rescued by Death Watch - top many looker to conclude he had been raise on Concordia . This was confirmed inThe Mandalorianseason 3 , when Din pointed the Mandalorian moon out to Grogu . While the name of his original homeworld has yet to be spoken loud in the live - action TV show , variousStar Warssourcebooks have distinguish the major planet as Aq Vetina , but even this clarity does n’t help to resolve a mystery that ’s now been made somewhat nonsensical inThe Mandalorianseason 3 .

Din Djarin’s Family Name Was Stored On Mandalore
While informing Cara Dune and Greef Karga that he was n’t bear on Mandalore inThe Mandalorianseason 1 finale , Din also reveals his family name was stored in the register of Mandalore during the time of the Great Purge . Not only was his kin name registered there , but it was also the only record of Din ’s family name left in macrocosm , emphasizing its importance . This is how he infer the Imperial warlord on Nevarro is really Moff Gideon , as he would have been the only Imperial who could have peradventure gained access to such information following the Great Purge . This has always been interesting , make the fact Din was raised on Concordia rather than Mandalore , but one line fromThe Mandalorianseason 3 makes it even more of a mystery .
… But Din’s Never Been To Mandalore
Not only was Din raised on Concordia , but he had also never been to Mandalore prior toThe Mandalorianseason 3 . While pointing out Concordia to Grogu in time of year 3 , sequence 2,Din quilt his foundling by guarantee him he ’s never been to Mandalore , either . Not being bear or raised there is one thing , but for Din to have never been on - earth is extremely intriguing , especially given the history of Mandalore conduce up to the Great Purge .
Given Din ’s cryptic backstory , it ’s unknown exactly when he and his tribe left Concordia , as it could have been at any spot between 19 BBY and 5 ABY .
When Mandalore is last see inStar Wars Rebelsbefore its devastation , the astronomical warriors were for the most part united , with many falling under the leaders of Bo - Katan Kryze and the Darksaber . With the Armorer referring to Bo - Katan as a " cautionary tale , " however , and Din never having been to Mandalore , the part between certain sect of Mandalorians must have still been unassailable even during Bo - Katan ’s rise to power . This get it even more curious , then , for Din ’s family name to have been stored on Mandalore as compared to the moon of Concordia itself .
Why Was Din’s Family Name On Mandalore?
The most likely account for this is that Din ’s judge to simplify the idea for Cara and Greef , as it ’s very unlikely they would sympathize the cultural significance of and difference between being raised on Mandalore and being raised on Concordia . Given that Concordia is still within Mandalore ’s system and , as its lunar month , sit around very close to the planet , generalize Concordia as Mandalore may have been the easy option for him to make his dot efficiently . The history of Mandalore is sure as shooting foresighted and complicated , and during this particular moment , Din just needs to prove they ’re against a really menacing scourge .
Still , it could very well be that his category name truly was stored on Mandalore , despite him never visiting the actual planet itself . If the tike of the Watch had any character of communication with Mandalore at the time , they may have used the homeworld as a space for storing such lively information , specially if they had any desirous thinking about getting to dwell on Mandalore once again . The Armorer is certainly conversant with the Great Forge and more of what Mandalore once had to offer , which could very well intend she act as a affair for the Children of the Watch between Mandalore and Concordia . Hopefully , The Mandalorianwill stay on to bring out more clarity about Din ’s backstory in time of year 4 and beyond , which could figure out this mystery once and for all .
