Few things from the episode. Another great show. Mandalorian is like pizza and sex, even when it is not great, it is still pretty good, but I think even the so-so episodes are few and far between here.
I think there has to be more going on with Boba. Why did he not make a deal with Cobb to get the armour before? He had to have known he had it. Maybe he wanted to deal with Din for other reasons. When he saw the Destroyer and said "they're back", it sounded like somewhat surprise, but also a little anger. Is Boba mad about being left to die in the desert back in that pit in Return of Jedi? He made a point to mention being left for dead. Who knows, but I am sure we will get more as we move on.

I may be slow on Star Wars, but I think I finally figured out something on Yoda. I always wondered why he kind of gave up on the fight with Sidious in Revenge of Sith. Seems he could have handled him. Now, it makes sense. I know in Empire, Yoda seemed worn out after lifting that Xwing out of the swamp, but he was very old and nearing death. Seeing Grogu being tired after using the Force, it makes sense that this just has something to do with that species. Maybe?

And Grogu going ham on those troopers may have been one of my very favorite parts of the series so far.

He may have seen how Cobb was using the armor and decided it was in good hands.

Would be a nice touch if we found out that Boba had been living in Ben Kenobi's old cave-crib this entire time.

The force is like a muscle. It isn’t just an infinite amount of magic that can be conjured up and on a dime. I think it’s always been there that it takes something out of you to use it and exhausts you. Which is why the most powerful force users not only know how to manipulate it but can have the endurance to manipulate it for a long time without tiring or in greater ways.

To this point, no I don't think it is his species. They may go that route or something, but that isn't what I'm leaning towards currently. Using the force, especially at the levels Yoda was using them is just very taxing. Yoda and Palpatine were at a stalemate in their fight, but Palpatine was on the offensive, and it was wearing Yoda out. Having to counter the force has always seemed to be very difficult to do (sequel trilogy not factoring into this discussion for obvious reasons).

I think with Grogu, much of what he is doing right now is somewhat 'instinctive' along with his prior training. He probably hasn't used much of it in a long time, so using it to the levels he is, is probably very taxing.
