** Wouldn't you think Princess Leia, as the de facto leader of the Alderaanian diaspora, would have made sure every surviving Alderaanian knows who Luke Skywalker is?

** Another reason why Boba would be distrustful towards Bo-Katan is because having been living in the criminal underworld, he might have a few run ins with the Shadow Collective and later, Crimson Dawn who are ran by Maul, a previous ruler of Mandalore and temporary associate of Bo-Katan who indirectly helped Maul to rule Mandalore in the first place. So not only Bo-Katan belongs to the group his father hated but she is also the one who allowed a Sith Lord enslaved his father's people.

** She's also probably busy picking up her jaw from HOLY CRAP JEDI! HOLY CRAP JEDI WHO Just KILLED AN ENTIRE ARMY AND IS WALKING TOWARDS US HOLY CRAP I SHOULD HAVE JOINED THAT FORCE RELIGION!

** This has all been pretty much confirmed by ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'', in which the Armorer refers to Bo-Katan as "a cautionary tale".

I think this was debunked too


!FridgeHorror.
* Although settling a dispute doesn't seems that bad, but these are Mandalorians who sees Life and Death as their way in settling a dispute and Din Djarin knows that. So, Din was lying to Grogu that they'll meet each other again and was really saying his last goodbyes to his adopted son.

Debunked in The Book of Boba Fett


* The fact that Grogu's with Luke now is pretty sweet, but [[Film/TheForceAwakens knowing what will happen a few years down the line]], does that mean Grogu will eventually have to live through yet another Jedi purge? Will he have to go into hiding when Kylo Ren murders his fellow Jedi peers? Or will Ren strike down Grogu?

missed pluralization


** There's also little bits and effect that suggest that only Mandalorians could make truly good beskar items; things such as Boba Fett having a ding in his helmet for who knows how long, and the beskar spear, something that culturally no Mandalorian would make, showing far less heat resistance when used against a lightsaber compared to Mandalorian-crafted armor itself.

* The Imperial pilot who claims to have been on the Death Star when Alderaan was destroyed is ''probably'' [[BlatantLies full of shit]], given that it was destroyed not long after. Then again, as a shuttle pilot, it's possible he was sent away on a transport mission soon after. [[note]]The book ''Lost Stars'' also indicated that the expedition that checked out Dantooine was launched from the Death Star, so he might have been in the crew. A couple of contingents from other ships also came for the big staff meeting Tarkin held, who later materials confirmed simply left and returned to their own ships after the meeting, most notably General Tagge.[[/note]]

* So why can't Bo-Katan and Mando throwdown in a big spar for the darksaber? You can get a proper dramatic legend out over a nonlethal trial by combat. Bo-Katan probably can actually kick Mando's ass.

** Because Bo-Katan knows his heart wouldn't be in it...and it would feel WRONG to her. She likely blames herself for Mandelore's destruction, and needs to EARN it.

** Though not canon in this timeline, ''Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy'' relied on the idea that nobody knew what exactly went on in the Death Star throne room. Former Imperials believed Luke murdered the Emperor in cold blood, and thus wanted revenge. The Galaxy is a big place, and Luke was never a glory hound. While he does reach a near mythical status in both continuities, very little is known about what Luke was up to at this point, and considering he wasn't even really part of the military operation that destroyed the second Death Star, it's entirely possible that Cara didn't know or didn't care about the rumors of a Jedi among the Alliance's ranks. Especially since the Empire was able to make the Jedi seem like a myth within a generation after the fall of the Republic.

** Also there's still that whole matter that [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jango_Fett#Early_life Jango might not have been a Mandalorian but was really some random bounty hunter that stole a set of Mandalorian armor and pretended to be one even after being denounced by the Mandalorian government of the time.]] Bo-Katan is likely entirely right in wanting to rip that armor off Boba's corpse. And Boba doesn't even provide evidence against the accusation on his father that he likely doesn't even know about. All he proves is that Jango digitally monogrammed the armor and by reasonable logic that means Boba inherited it. He still could have inherited stolen armor.

* We re-establish that Cara's bitter over the destruction of Alderaan, and mocks the Empire's loss of both Death Stars. Why doesn't she show any signs of recognizing the guy who avenged her home and overthrew the Emperor? Even if she never set eyes on the New Republic's greatest hero in a holovid or anything, the scarcity of other Jedi and seeing him in action should have tipped her off.
