I wish they would turn down the campiness of her character just a bit.
I guess she’s supposed to be the comic relief to mando’s straight man, but I definitely agree.
Overall just such a good episode. Almost glaringly so compared to the rest of the series so far.

The soldiers that saved Din were Death Watch.
The Naboo star fighter was not the same fighter with Ani. ScreenCrush checked the markings on the cockpit and they are different.
I am holding my opinion on Boba Fett right now. I think this series may be a spring board for a larger Star Wars universe. It is a slow burn right now, but Boba could be much better. Boba was much more of a badass in the Mandalorian. I think we are getting some setups for future shows, so I am going to stick with the Book of Boba Fett.

Good question and I think it is because of the old EU. Seriously, you cannot create that much mythology for 30 years and then just tell fans, nope, its all thrown away. People have set in their minds the rules for Jedi/Sith/Scoundrels/Diplomats in the SW universe.
Also, it sets some realism. Weapons being handed down through generations would be realistic. Expensive ship and family legacy would be important.
I do not think SW fans are trying to shrink the universe, I think there are set rules for how the SW universe should be and when Disney deviates from that, it screws up the mythology.
For example, objects now having personalities like lightsabers and the dark saber. Kinda dumb if you watch the first 6 movies. Hell in the first two movies Obi Wan and Anakin both lost their lightsabers and just were thrown new ones.

Ships and powerful objects like the dark saber I agree with. Those need a history and a connection.
A random Rodian parent and child on a public transport to Tatooine doesn't need to be related to a Rodian childhood acquaintance/friend of Anakin. There are more than 40 beings that live on Tatooine. Not everything needs to be connected or related, especially minor characters. "

The ones that have only seen the movies maybe but the fans who enjoyed the EU while Lucas left such a large void for years want to see it expanded. Fett series is about bringing to the screen a little of that void.

This made me think 2 things.
1. How long was that Rodian kid sitting on that ship? Mando was sitting behind him, got out, helped rebuild most of the ship, and the kid was still there with the parent.
2. Something I always think about with Star Wars is how the planets are treated like countries. They mention 3 cities on Tatooine and people pretty much travel between them. Imagine meeting someone in New York for something and they say you have to get it in Tokyo. Well, that will be quite the trip.

The only issue with the episode is that season 3 for Mando will come out late this year or in 2023. They are in the middle of filming currently. So the tease was great but the wait will be long.
So my guess with his telling her he had go see someone first, meaning Grogu, I doubt we will see Mando back again this season.
I assume we are going to see the last two episodes lead up to a start of war with the Pikes with who he was able to recruit and leave us with a huge cliffhanger for Fett season 2 sometime in 2023. I would love to see someone like Dengar or other bounty hunters join the fray.
A lot of speculation that Harrison Ford may return for a cameo in the last episode.

Interesting here regarding the Death Watch. I have seen speculation that the Armorer was Rook Task, a super commando in Death Watch. In this latest episode Mando fights Paz Vizsla a descendant of who created the dark saber and founded the Death Watch. Interesting because the Armorer calls out Mando for removing his helmet but yet Bo-Katan Kryze was lieutenant in Death Watch.

Remember in Season 2 when she responds to Din with, "oh, so you're one of THEM."
It's clear she had a falling out with Death Watch around the time her sister was killed.

That's easy. Not the same flight. Tatooine was the layover.

That kind of reminded me of Harry Potter and the wands. Have to win it in battle. The wand needs some attachment to its user.
My kids rewatch every Christmas so I had to sit through the movies quarantined with covid.

IIRC her falling out took place when Darth Maul killed Vizsla and she with those loyal to Death Watch fled the city and saved her sister. So I guess in reality the Armorer is not really Death Watch because she became one of the super commandos under Maul and tried to destroy Katan and the other Death Watch loyalists.

I think Din is trying to go back to his old life and ways without but he will not be able too. I expect Mando to take the helmet of much more. I think the Armorer casting him out my be the final straw for him to become more free and open.
I wonder if the reason they came up with this do not take the helmet off stuff was because they were criminals hunted by the empire. The Armorer is a really mysterious character, something tells me she will play much larger role once Din returns to Mandalor.

Not the same kid either.

Boba needs muscle for the upcoming battle with the Pykes that will occur at some point in these last two episodes. Mando committed to help, and even said he will do it for free/"on the house". Mando will definitely show up again.
The bigger question is will they show Mando seeing Grogu on-screen (logically next episode) and giving him the gift before Mando comes back to help Boba.

I actually saw the scene as closure for the Armorer and Mando and his relationship with them being over. I get the impression we will not see them in the series anymore.
But again I wold not be surprised and as you alluded to could play a big role because the Armorer and Bo Katan have a past that included Katan capturing her.. We know Katan is not going to let Mando have the Darksaber and will need to defeat him in doing so.
Another interesting detail though if the Armorer is Rook that followed Maul after the killing of Pre Vizsla you would think Paz Vizsla, who just fought Mando, might begin to 2nd think who he supports.

Luke abides his young padawan and crosses paths with Boba again. They bury the hatchet and wreck shop on Pykes together. Sounds like a good plot for the last 2 episodes to me

Again I think the season ends with battle ready to begin and that will be the cliffhanger for the season finale. IMO Mando will not be back in the last two episodes.
I hope I am wrong but based on what is expected in season 3 that has been leaked I doubt we see Mando again in this season.

I think Mando will show up with Grogu in tow for the battle with the Pykes. We won't see how they joined up, but it will happen in the first episode of Mandalorian S3.

Only problem with this for me is I doubt Luke would help Boba setup a criminal empire unless the new softer, kinder Boba is interpreted as a fair governor in Luke's eyes. Luke probably know better than most the evil of the Hutts and crime having grown up on Tatooine.
Question: Do we know how much time has elapsed since the end of Mando 2 and start of Book of Boba Fett?

Yeah, a Jedi is definitely not going to get involved with a criminal empire war, even if it is on his home planet. The only way Luke would get involved is if the new republic asked him to intervene in the war because they were really worried about the collateral damage that would result. But I’m sure that the new republic has far bigger issues right now than to get involved in an underworld war on a backwoods desert planet in the outer rim.
