7. Flashbacks To Din's Training

Din Djarin is our main protagonist, but since we don't even learn his name without Pedro Pascal having to TELL us in an interview, and it doesn't get said in show until, like, the last episode of season 1, it's clear that the show wants to hold this carrot out on a stick just a bit longer.

All we know about Din's past is that he lived in a random town that was a casualty of the clone wars, and he was saved by the Mandalorians - Death Watch specifically, judging by the armor. But obviously this raises some pertinent questions about what happened afterward.

Who trained Din to become a Mandalorian? What happened to him/her? Did Din's relationship with the Mandalorians who took him in ultimately play a part in his decision to spare Baby Yoda? These are all important questions that the next season should elaborate on. Now obviously no one is asking for a season long, boring as sin flashback arc - if I wanted that I'd rewatch Naruto - but some more answers would definitely be nice.
