Din Djarin acquires a new ship, an N1 Starfighter, to replace the Razor Crest in The Book of Boba Fett, but his new vessel doesn’t make sense as a bounty hunter’s ship. N1 Starfighters are iconic fighter craft from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, with the Royal Naboo Security Forces using them to combat the Trade Federation’s army during the Invasion of Naboo.

Djarin’s original craft, the Razor Crest, was an ST-70 Assault Ship and was originally a military patrol gunship from before the rise of the Galactic Empire. The Razor Crest served Din Djarin well, being used as both his home and his bounty hunting vessel, proving to be a highly capable ship in combat as well. The Razor Crest was, unfortunately, destroyed in The Mandalorian season 2 when a volley of blaster cannon fire from Moff Gideon’s light cruiser bombarded it.

These were necessities for Djarin, given his vocation, making his new N1 a poor fit for transporting living bounties and serving as a home.
