Major spoilers and some theories

Janja apparently doesn't know how Scar's demise really went down. All he mentions is he "died in the fire". He is not aware that the hyenas of the past tore Scar to shreds over his betrayal. Scar is likely to betray Janja and the others at some point in the season.

Janja's clan is confirmed to have descended from Scar's minions. From what we can speculate, the hyenas like Shenzi, Banzai and Ed left after killing Scar. Perhaps this series might reveal their whereabouts and have them involved with one of Janja's exploits - and shed some light on Scar's story.

Keep in mind that Kovu also didn't know Scar's real story until Simba explained it to him in ''The Lion King II. ''Scar's past seems to be an enigma to everyone who isn't in the royal family or his former lackeys. Zira believes Simba was the one who killed him (though at this point she probably wouldn't care otherwise).
