Spoiler!

Din has the same exact realization that Luke Skywalker had in The Empire Strikes Back: "Who am I? Is my entire life a lie?" Luke spent his entire life "looking away" to the stars and wanting to know more about his "Freighter Pilot" of a father and when he finds the answer, he's confused about his path forward.

Same with Din: He thought he was following the Mandalorian "Way", only to find out that his people were Extremists and on the wrong side of history. Now, Din is off to seek council from the Jedi in Ahsoka, much like Luke and Obi Wan, although she's technically no longer a Jedi.

One thing that seems out place from a logical perspective is that Din states that he knows nothing about the Jedi, which is kind of consistent with Han Solo in the OT, yet Din says to the X Wing pilots in Chapter 2, "May The Force Be With You".

How is it that he knows about The Force but not the Jedi? I can understand not knowing about The Sith, as there were only two at any time in a galaxy of trillions, but there were 10,000 or more Jedi before the end of The Clone Wars, along with Holonet reports on the Republic's war with the Separatists.

What am I missing?

PS - I thought it was interesting in Chapter 2 that the New Republic X Wing pilots were only slightly less authoritarian than Imperial pilots and commanders in the OT, which I thought was a nice display of duality: Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
