Spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett episodes 1-5.
The Mandalorianseason 2 saw to it that Din Djarin’s personal journey with Grogu had taken him far and beyond the limiting and narrow-minded rules of his Mandalorian sect, the Children of the Watch, so why does he go back to them in The Book of Boba Fett?At first glance, it seems as if Din Djarin’s appearance in The Book of Boba Fett has stripped him from his previous character development. After a closer look, however, it is not only apparent that episode 5 serves Din’s character arc, but serves the plot of The Book of Boba Fettas a whole.
Very quickly, the new episode shows the viewer that Din Djarin isn’t with Bo-Katan & The Nite Owls, and that he has instead sought out the remnants of his own sect of Mandalorians. It is uncertain how much time has passed since the ending of The Mandalorian season 2, and Bo Katan is mentioned sparingly, let alone the nature of Din’s departure from her and her group. Given all that Din has learned over the first two seasons of his show and all of the people he has met, it initially seems odd that he would return to his fanatic sect, however the show also hints as to why he does this.

As Din Djarin spends more time with the Armorer and Paz Viszla, the only two remaining members of their sect, it becomes more apparent as to why Din Djarin is there. Boba Fett isn’t in episode 5, and while that seems odd at first, it’s for the purpose of ensuring that Din Djarin’s ideals are firmly in line with Boba’s before he is in a position to help. Boba’s story thus far has very much been about realizing the strength of family/tribe and seeking to establish his own clan.
