Din Djarin at the controls, Grogu along for the ride and a restored N-1 carrying them onwards: a Star Wars video published on 28 October 2026 revisits their shared journey. Titled “The Book of Boba Fett: Toy Ride | The Original Story Celebrated”, it looks back at their travels in a ship that links The Book of Boba Fett with The Mandalorian and the prequel era.
The N-1 entered Din’s story after the Razor Crest was destroyed. In “Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian” from The Book of Boba Fett, mechanic Peli Motto offers him a vintage Naboo starfighter. He is initially unconvinced, but restoring it together and taking it for a test flight give him reason to reconsider.
A prequel-era ship rebuilt for Din
Directed by Bryce Dallas Howard, Chapter 5 follows Din after the second series of The Mandalorian. Peli’s modifications make the N-1 faster than the original design, while its grey finish retains traces of the original yellow. It is more than a replacement: the vintage fighter has a new look and new capabilities.
The N-1 first appeared in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Its yellow-and-chrome finish reflected Naboo’s emphasis on art and beauty. Din’s customised version brings that prequel-era design into his own travels.
How Grogu came back aboard
The ship is only part of the connection between the two series. Din begins Chapter 5 after parting ways with Grogu, who has gone to train with Luke Skywalker. Given the choice between continuing his training and returning to Din, Grogu chooses Din. The two reunite on Tatooine and help Boba Fett defend his position before setting off among the stars together.
That reunion gives their shared journey its significance. In an interview with StarWars.com about the third series of The Mandalorian, Pedro Pascal described the parent-child relationship at the heart of Din and Grogu’s adventures:
As instantly disarming as that relationship is, even through Din Djarin's initial reluctance, there's still so much to explore as far as that parent-child dynamic is concerned… Pedro Pascal, speaking to StarWars.com about The Mandalorian series 3
