8 More Star Wars "Plot Holes" That Really Aren't

The Jedi were present within this galaxy far, far away for thousands of generations.

They played a vital role in the Clone Wars, leading clones into battle against the Separatist forces and eventually being turned on by said troopers.

The icon that is Luke Skywalker, a Jedi, would ultimately help bring down the Empire during the Galactic Civil War.

And it's all that which made the fact that Din Djarin didn't know what a Jedi was during The Mandalorian series seem a little odd to some Star Wars fans.

Despite being rescued by a member of Death Watch during a battle in the aforementioned Clone Wars as a child, Mando didn't have a clue what a rock-floating peacekeeper was.

But the more you think about it, the more it makes sense.

On top of the Empire doing everything they could to erase the Jedi Order post-Order 66, the fact Djarin was raised by the Children of the Watch on Concordia explains why he wasn't aware of the Force-users. It was eventually revealed that this clan was tucked away from the rest of the galaxy, with Djarin not even knowing that other Mandalorians could take their helmets off.

So, with that in mind, Mando also being unaware of the Mandalorians' sworn enemy definitely checks out.

It was also shown all the way back in 1977's Star Wars that the Jedi and the Force weren't exactly things that were seen every day across the galaxy almost two decades after the Clone Wars - Han Solo didn't even believe in the latter!

Djarin was just one of the many who had never stumbled across a space wizard before.
