** Fans correctly guessed that Din Djarin would appear in this series, as would [[spoiler: Cad Bane, Cobb Vanth, and Luke Skywalker.]]
** Almost no one bought the explanation that [[spoiler:the Tuskens that Boba lived with were killed by a lowly speed biker gang like the Kintan Striders. Many believed that it was the Pykes who did it, because they had both the resources and the motive to kill this particular tribe of Tuskens. Sure enough, in the season finale, the Pyke leader reveals this to be the case to Cad Bane.]]
** [[spoiler:Many correctly predicted that Cad Bane's appearance in this series meant that this would be his last adventure, and that he would be killed by Boba Fett as promised in an unfinished episode of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', symbolically to Boba's gaffi stick rather than his blasters.]]
** [[spoiler:Many fans also correctly predicted that the empty astromech port would be Grogu's seat on Din's N-1.]]

* CreatorBacklash: Creator/TemueraMorrison has admitted that [[https://youtu.be/3JVHClAu_cI he felt Boba had too much dialogue]] in the scripts. He tried to let Fennec Shand have the bulk of it, but this only worked until Creator/MingNaWen began feeling that Morrison placed too much burden on her. Staff writer Noah Kloor assured him that the editors would cut out some of Boba's most extraneous dialogue, but he still ended up thinking the final cuts of Chapters 1 and 2 had too much. By the end of the series, though he enjoyed working on it tremendously, he felt that he would have approached it differently in hindsight.

** In 2023, at a fan convention, Morrison also revealed he was disappointed that the showrunners included Din and Grogu, feeling it took away from Boba's story, though he admitted he had no control over their inclusion and simply ran with it.

** Cad Bane's (physical) actor Dorian Kingi was a big fan of both ''Star Wars'' and Westerns growing up, and so jumped at the opportunity to play a blend of both styles at once. He was particularly happy to be able to utilize his quick-draw skills in an acting project, something he had wanted to do for a very long time.

* TrollingCreator: Viewers of the teaser thought one of the voices heard sounded suspiciously similar to [[Characters/StarWarsTheMandalorianCharacterSheet Din Djarin]], even though he didn't actually appear onscreen. Articles and videos began crediting the line to Creator/PedroPascal, but Robert Rodriguez didn't correct any of them right away. Instead, he let the rumor circulate for over a month, before he finally revealed to ''The Hollywood Reporter'' that he recorded the line himself.[[note]]The teaser dropped while Pascal was filming the Jackson portion of ''The Last of Us'', and thus didn't have time to post about ''Star Wars'' online, much less confirm or deny that he said the line.[[/note]]
