10 Things That Make No Sense About Din Djarin

As the titular character of The Mandalorian, Din Djarin’s story has been fleshed out across various Star Wars projects, which has allowed some nonsensical character elements to slip through the cracks. Even as one of Star Wars’ best characters, Din Djarin still has several pieces to his story that either don’t add up or simply have yet to be properly explained. With a backstory that’s still heavily shrouded in mystery, it’s no wonder that pieces of Din Djarin’s character still make no sense, even after half a decade and counting.

It’s important to note, however, that just about every major Star Wars character still has nonsensical elements in their own stories as well. These don’t necessarily have to weigh down the character, but can ultimately be opportunities for further exploration, allowing these elements to be corrected over time. This is certainly the case with these 10 things about Din Djarin that make no sense, from the beginning of his story to where it has since left off.

It’s well established in The Mandalorian season 1 that Din Djarin’s covert is to remain hidden at all times. In “Chapter 3: The Sin,” Paz Vizsla makes his approach to Din Djarin and the Armorer to make his grievances about Din’s partnership with the Imperial Client well known, and he reminds them that they are only allowed to go above ground “one at a time.” This helps their numbers to remain hidden, so as to not garner suspicion that this group survived the Great Purge. As the Armorer says, “Our secrecy is our survival.”

As the greatest warriors in the Star Wars galaxy, Mandalorians have a rich and expanding history, and this is their full timeline in canon explained.

Despite this, Din Djarin goes above ground very often; in fact, he’s rarely ever underground in the tunnels, aside from the two occasions on which he gets new armor crafted. He essentially lives in his Razor Crest gunship, completing his bounty hunting jobs to earn enough money for food, fuel, and other necessities. How, then, is it possible for his fellow Mandalorians to go above ground? Is one of them allowed to once Din has gotten offworld for a new job? If this isn’t the case, then Din Djarin certainly has an above-ground advantage here.

9 Din Djarin Removed His Helmet In Front Of An Open Window

Did Someone See Him?!

See more : Anime Adventures Codes for June 2023 (Updated)

Another well established element of Din Djarin’s character is his helmet rule, which forbids him from removing the beskar in front of other living things. Din makes it well known in The Mandalorian season 1 episode “Chapter 4: Sanctuary” that this is a rule he’s abided by faithfully, and that no one has seen his face ever since he was a child. He’s unyielding in this belief, willing to even sacrifice necessities at times if it means sticking to it. Despite this, there is an instance in this very same episode where Din risks showing his face to many others.

After the farmer, Omera, brings Din Djarin a meal for him to eat in private, he’s seen carrying it over to a large window, through which he can keep watch over Grogu – who’s joined by Omera and her daughter, Winta. This, however, isn’t a one-way window. By sitting in this spot and removing his helmet to eat there, Din has put his face in view for anyone who’s passing by to see. Clearly, this is framing that’s meant to serve the show alone, but it still stands as something nonsensical that Din would risk revealing his face like this.

8 Din Djarin Wasn’t Allowed To Have A Jetpack For Some Reason

The Armorer Waited Until… The Perfect Time?

Jetpacks have been a part of Mandalorian armor sets ever since Boba Fett was first introduced to Star Wars, though they have certainly varied over the years. This made it curious that Din Djarin didn’t have a jetpack of his own, as he instead wielded an Amban phase-pulse blaster rifle that he kept strapped to his back, in addition to a cape. In The Mandalorian season 1 finale, however, Din is finally given a jetpack, something he expressed his desire to have at the end of “Chapter 3: The Sin.” This has since posed a variety of questions.

Why didn’t Din get to use a jetpack after he completed his necessary training?

When the Armorer gives Din Djarin his jetpack, she asks if he was trained in the Rising Phoenix, and Din answers in the affirmative – though specifies his training occurred as a boy. It makes no sense, then, that he would have to wait until that very moment to get his jetpack, if he had already been trained to use one many years before. It could be that only Mandalorians who have earned their signets can use jetpacks, but that seems like an odd requirement. Why didn’t Din get to use a jetpack after he completed his necessary training?

7 Din Djarin Still Wants To Be A Bounty Hunter Without A Proper Ship

His N-1 Starfighter Can Barely Fit Himself & Grogu

See more : Anime Adventures Codes for June 2023 (Updated)

Most recently, Din Djarin had audiences scratching their heads when he expressed his desire to return to bounty hunting, despite no longer having his Razor Crest gunship. The N-1 starfighter has certainly been a fun upgrade for the Mandalorian, with many likening the transition between ships to dads trading in their minivans for sports cars. It was clear that the Razor Crest‘s destruction was initially supposed to signify Din’s growth away from the bounty hunting life, but now, plans have changed – and there’s no way that N-1 can fit any bounties in it.

Related How Does Din Djarin Get His Razor Crest Back In Star Wars’ Next Movie?

Footage of The Mandalorian & Grogu shown at D23 has revealed the return of Din Djarin’s Razor Crest vessel, but how can it possibly be back?

It does seem that Star Wars is preparing to rectify this situation by teasing the return of a Razor Crest in The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, having shown the ship in exclusive movie footage at this year’s D23: The Ultimate Fan Event. It’s clearly not the same one Din had before, as that one was reduced to ash, but it could be a nice replacement for the original. Still, Din is still a long ways from getting a Razor Crest at the time of this request, and clearly intends on using his N-1 – which simply isn’t possible.

Even Though He Likely Had The Funding For His Own Ship Already

Speaking of ships, Din Djarin waits a long time before getting the N-1 starfighter after the Razor Crest was destroyed. While The Mandalorian timeline is quite muddled, thanks to conflicting information from Star Wars and The Mandalorian‘s creators, it can be safely assumed that about a year passes between the events of The Mandalorian season 2 finale and The Book of Boba Fett, the latter of which serves as an interlude between seasons 2 and 3. When audiences first see Din Djarin again, he’s using public transportation, just before he finally gets his N-1 from Peli Motto.

This move doesn’t quite make sense for Din Djarin, given that there was nothing keeping him from buying that ship any earlier. While some may argue that Din needed to complete more bounty hunting jobs to get the necessary credits for a purchase, it’s made clear by the job Din completes at the beginning of the episode that he’s bartering for information, not money. He got a hefty sum of credits for turning Moff Gideon over to Cara Dune and the New Republic. He certainly should have been able to get his replacement ship much sooner with that money.

5 Din Djarin Had No Idea Who The Jedi Were

Who Failed To Teach Him About Basic Mandalorian History?

See more : Anime Adventures Codes for June 2023 (Updated)

One of the most iconic parts of Din Djarin’s character is that he has no idea who the Jedi are, which is certainly a rarity to see in Star Wars. With so many stories either focused on or centered around the Jedi, characters have always seemed to know about the galaxy’s peacekeepers, even if they were mere legends. Din, however, has no idea who they are or what they do, and the Armorer has to fill him in on their brief history when she tasks him with reuniting Grogu with the Jedi in The Mandalorian season 1 finale.

While it does make sense that Din wouldn’t know about the Jedi as a child in the Outer Rim, he should have known as a Mandalorian warrior.

While it’s clear that the Children of the Watch left Din Djarin in the dark about many things, including their group’s own history, the Jedi seem like something too major for Din not to know about. It was the Jedi who ultimately devastated Mandalore’s surface during the Mandalorian Jedi Wars, and as a group who upholds the Mandalorians’ ancient Way, it stands to reason that Din would have known about their ancient enemies. While it does make sense that Din wouldn’t know about the Jedi as a child in the Outer Rim, he should have known as a Mandalorian warrior.

4 Din Djarin Could Never Properly Wield The Darksaber

What Was The Point Of Him Having It?

See more : Anime Adventures Codes for June 2023 (Updated)

The Mandalorian season 2 ended in a way that had many viewers imagining a very different continuation of the story than what eventually came to be, and perhaps one of the biggest twists was that Din Djarin could never actually master the famed Darksaber weapon. First introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the Darksaber is a famous blade with a storied history, none of which involves users having difficulty wielding it because of its weight. While Sabine Wren does require heavy training from the Jedi Kanan Jarrus, she never struggles the way Din Djarin did.

That means Din Djarin was the first to have this problem, and in the context of the greater Star Wars story, it doesn’t really make much sense. There were certainly Darksaber users who shouldn’t have deserved to wield that blade, from Darth Maul to Moff Gideon. Why, then, didn’t they struggle with the Darksaber and its weight? If it was always meant to be back in Bo-Katan Kryze’s hands, then why didn’t Gideon struggle with that weapon in his fight against Din Djarin? Unfortunately, it does seem more like an effort to undo Din Djarin earning the weapon in retrospect.

One of the greatest mysteries of Din Djarin’s character surrounds the nature of his name, which began with something that he says in The Mandalorian season 1 finale. After Moff Gideon reveals his name during his arrival speech on Nevarro, Din informs Greef Karga and Cara Dune that he can identify Gideon based on the fact that the Imperial was a commanding officer during the Great Purge of Mandalore. According to Din, the only record of his family was registered on the planet Mandalore, which is the only way that Gideon would have learned such information.

This exile, however, would have made it highly unlikely that Din’s name would have ever been recorded on Mandalore, as his people wouldn’t be welcomed there.

At the beginning of The Mandalorian season 3, however, Din Djarin tells Grogu that he’s never been to Mandalore, as he was raised on the Mandalorian moon of Concordia. Following the Death Watch’s exile to Concordia before the Clone Wars era, this makes sense for Din’s group also, as they’re a direct offshoot of this group. This exile, however, would have made it highly unlikely that Din’s name would have ever been recorded on Mandalore, as his people wouldn’t be welcomed there. The fact he hasn’t even been there himself makes it all the more confusing.

Continuing on with the confusion around Din Djarin’s name, there are other nonsensical components to it that have yet to be properly explained. Din makes it clear in The Mandalorian season 1 finale that his name is a rarity to hear, and that prior to Gideon announcing it on Nevarro, no one had even said it ever since he was a child. Despite this, his name is spoken by the Armorer later in the episode, and as The Mandalorian goes on, more start to use his name. Fennec Shand even introduces Din without him ever telling her his true name.

Related All 20 Times Din Djarin’s Name Is Spoken In The Mandalorian (& Everyone Who Knows It)

Even as one of Star Wars’ most popular characters, Din Djarin’s name isn’t used much in The Mandalorian. Here are all 20 times it’s been said so far.

To make matters even more confusing, Din Djarin’s name itself has been somewhat complicated by his adoption of Grogu. In The Mandalorian season 3 finale, Grogu is deemed “Din Grogu” after Din officially takes Grogu as his own son, though many were expecting him to become “Grogu Djarin.” There are several theories about Grogu’s new name and why this is, but there’s no erasing just how confused viewers were initially about Din’s own name after hearing this. It’s still not quite clear if “Din” is actually Din’s family name or not, as opposed to “Djarin.”

1 Din Djarin Broke His Helmet Rule… & Then Went Back On It

His Personal Growth Was Unfortunately Reversed

See more : Anime Adventures Codes for June 2023 (Updated)

Easily the most nonsensical part of Din Djarin’s character thus far is his willingness to go back on the growth he accomplished over the course of The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2. This remains a rather hot topic to this day, with some audiences insisting that it makes total sense for Din to seek atonement for removing his helmet, but most still agree that it was a poor decision to have Din go back on his actions. Season 2 especially developed Din’s relationship with Mandalorians who could remove their helmets, which seemed to encourage him to do the same.

Rather than leaning into this and letting Din explore a Mandalorian Way outside his own, both The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian season 3 double down by having Din nearly die to earn his forgiveness and atonement for removing his helmet. Season 3 is the first of the entire series to feature zero helmet-less scenes, much to viewers’ displeasure, and even worse is the fact that Bo-Katan is granted permission by the Armorer to remove her helmet, as she “walks both worlds.” Apparently, however, Din Djarin cannot do the same, which has been a big disappointment.

Din Djarin

Din Djarin was once a lone bounty who has since tasked himself with raising his adopted son and Mandalorian apprentice, Grogu. Born on Aq Vetina and raised on Concordia by the Mandalorian faction the Children of the Watch, Din is an orphan and Mandalorian foundling who has risked both his life and his Mandalorian Creed to protect Grogu. Djarin has become an important part of the galaxy’s fight against the Imperial Remnant that lingers in the wake of the Empire’s fall, as he is now working under-the-table for the fledgling New Republic’s rangers.
