Did Mando lose the Darksaber?

You might be scratching your head over this one, so let me explain. Obviously, the lore and importance of the Darksaber were a big part of the Mandalorian’s sections of the show and, we assume, his story moving ahead. We see him pull out and use the mythical saber to fight the large, shielded droids in The Book of Boba Fett’s finale. The last time we actually physically see the saber on screen, it’s been knocked out of his hands, on the ground, and he moves away from it. The next scene he’s holding onto Grogu and leaves the area. When he fights the Rancor later it might be on his belt but it’s not clear.

What is clear is that he dropped it and moved away. While the odds are he just picked it up off-screen, there might be a chance he was so overwhelmed and excited to see Grogu he left the saber in the dirt—so he’d have to go back and get it. It would make a good excuse to for him reappear on The Book of Boba Fett, would it not? (See all this for yourself beginning at about 38:30 into the final episode.)
