Possible spoilers for all the different Star Wars from Clone Wars to Book of Boba Fett.

Sorry if grammar or punctuation is a bit off.

I honestly just want to see what I'm missing here because I don't know why I haven't seen anyone talk about this. Maybe I'm missing something so obvious proving my theory wrong or maybe it's because it's so obvious nobody is talking about it. If anyone thinks there is merit to this, I am thinking of making a video essay to show my findings in more detail (also because I'm bored and it probably would be fun to do).

The Theory:

I believe that Din Djarin, the main protagonist in The Mandalorian's origin story is a lie and he was in fact abducted by his sect as a means to bolster their fighting force.

The Evidence:

- In the flashback in the last episode of The Mandalorian, we clearly see that the Mandalorians that save him are Death Watch, a group of Mandalorians that played antagonist over several story arcs through The Clone Wars, including episodes where they used deception and misinformation to assume control over their planet and the last episodes where they were defeated in open war, the survivors either captured or fled.

- Neither Death Watch or any other sect of Mandalorian ever fought in the clone wars on either side, often claiming neutrality from the conflict. Any engagements were civil war on Mandalore, with exception to an episode where Death Watch subjugated a town and later raised it to the ground.

- The apparent age of Din Djarin (between 38-42) combined with the lifespan of the Empire (roughly thirty years), the attack on his village was right at the end of the war. Though I do speculate that it could actually be after the war ended, though dates and times are really vague in this series so it's hard to pinpoint anything. This would make more sense though as any time during the war after the kinds of attack ships viewable during the flashback were in service was after Darth Maul came into power over Mandalore and it would make even less sense for that character to order his men to go around saving people and fighting the separatists.

Extra Note Not Included in the Evidence But I Feel is Necessary to Know:

Moff Gideon knew who Din Djarin was, but isn't that technically impossible? Even if he did have the records of all the Mandalorians from his siege of Mandalore and his sect was in fact in those records (which is unlikely because of mentioned reasons), how does he know that this specific Mandalorian, an individual who never shared his name, showed his face or gave any form of information, not even a chain code, something that by the creed is something none of them can ever do for this exact reason is in fact Din Djarin. Din had to guess that's how he knew but I think it's another piece of this puzzle.

Final Thought:

It is my belief, based on those three factors and double checked by watching every Star Wars series more times than is probably healthy, that the few remaining members of Death Watch not captured or killed, went into hiding, vowing revenge and taking on The Way of the Mandalore as their creed. They proceeded to kidnap children by unleashing stolen droid forces (or somehow corrupting the ones already there (maybe a separatist planet defense force)) and then "saving" the kids, making them one of their own and raising them as fighters, helping to raise capital and bolster their forces, much like what Din Djarin did until he encountered a tiny little Jedi that made him rethink his life choices.
