"Planets and stars are different?" Dan wants to push back with no, moons orbit, not planets, but he has enough humility to understand when he's wrong about something everyone else takes as understood. He doesn't shift out of his casual, unthreatening demeanor, especially as he sees how Boba closes himself off against the wall.
