Break the pearl and there is a smaller core in it. Its actually better than a kyber crystal in light saber production. Stronger beam.

like so..

Honestly, I dunno. That's why I qualified it with "FWIW."

Also FWIW , when I saw him I thought, "Holy shit, it's Boba Fett!"

I suspect that we'll find out for sure later this season.

That was the Dark Saber. You’ll need to watch a bunch of Clone Wars and Rebels episodes to understand it.
Or just google it.

I feel like I missed something.

What did Mando load onto the back of his speeder after the Krayt died?

Looked like a chunk of rock? Threw a cloth over it and rode off.

Krayt dragon pearl.

Much like birds, krayt dragons swallow stones to aid in digestion. Some of these stones contain kyber crystals. These crystals are smoothed out and refined in the lizards gut acid becoming pearls. (New canon)

They can also be used as lightsaber components by Jedi/Sith. These are the rarest and most coveted items on Tatooine. (New and old canon)

It’s a pearl.  Supposedly the other element that can be used to power a lightsaber.

Edit:

Han Solo used a krayt dragon pearl to pay his way into the famous sabacc game where he won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian.

That is old canon. The books and lore made before Disney bastardized it.

The darksaber.

The only lightsaber crafted by a Mandalorian. In fact, the only Mandalorian Jedi to exist. Tarre Visla of house Visla.

Various crystals were naturally occurring and were refined by jedi to be used as lightsaber crystals. The only crystal not naturally occurring were red, red crystals were fully synthetic and constructed over days and weeks in force meditation by dark side users as the synthetic crystals were stronger than naturally occurring variants.

There were many different types of crystals that could be used in the old EU.  And some were synthetically created.

I think since the canon reboot all use Kyber.

1. In the original EU, Boba Fett was very much a Mandalorian. He was made Mandalore (title of ruler of Mandalore and the Mandalorians) by Fenn Shysa, the previous Mandalore. As Mandalore, Boba Fett led the Mandalorians through the Yuuzhan Vong War and later assisted with training Jania Solo to bring down Darth Caedus (Jacen Solo) since Luke was too much of a pussy to do the job. Boba Fett had a granddaughter named Mirta Gev and she was also a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter.

2. Boba Fett escaped since the Sarlacc keeps the victims alive for a bit. While in the stomach, Boba Fett discovered that another person was psychologically connected to the creature and was able to convince it to constrict around the jetpack to set it off. That resulted in an explosion due to the stomach acid being flammable. He was thrown out and basically left for dead. Fellow Bounth Hunter, Dengar was scouring the area for weapons, equipment, etc and found Boba Fett and nursed him back to health. The Marvel Comics showing the Jawas rescue him weren't cannon even back then.

100% correct, I want to see Mandalorian Super Commandos again. What "The Clone Wars" did to Mandalorian lore I can never forgive the show for, won't even watch TCW's honestly fuck that eitire peace loving Mandalorians BS. Karen Travis has them right from the Clone Commando books.
