I just can't see Boba Fett leading anything at this point. Not without some drastic changes to his current character. He doesn't even have any respect from the people of Tatooine. They told him so directly to his face. All the Tuskens he got to know are now dead. And I don't see why any other Tusken tribes would want anything to do with him.
If anything at this point, I could see Din telling the armorer to piss off, and he does his own thing and finds his own way back to Grogu. I still have suspicions regarding the Armorer's true intentions. I do think it's Rook Kast, and I have my doubts on a happy future with Din. Her persistent hangups with the religious fanaticism would hint to that. [Reply]

It's actually leading towards Boba Fett fulfilling the legend the Armorer spoke of, and he is the prophesied mythosaur that will rise up and unite the Mandalorian people. And Maybe that's the story that will unfold across Mandalorian, BoBF and Bo Katan's show.
Also more evidence during the episode that the Armorer is Rook Kast, once a member of Maul's Shadow Collective.
Could be a lot more going on than it appears...
I’ve always thought she has those bumps on her helmet like Darth Maul. Why would you copy that? I don’t know the back story on all that so didn’t think much more about it after she first appeared. [Reply]
Havnt seen any of you tube speculation or know the canon.
But, if he is obviously going to where Luke is training And all the talk about fighting against the sword. That sounds like a force thing. Do we get to see Luke training the Mandalorian with the use of the Black saber.
And why does a Jedi need chain mail to protect itself? [Reply]

Well, they do tend to get skewered to death by lightsabers quite often. [Reply]
This is about Mando's popularity of course (that show is something like 100 times more popular than network shows. Seriously) but sweet Jesus ..

I feel like the Pykes have to be setting up a larger villain. We already know we're heading towards Thrawn, so let's try to connect the dots.
The Pykes are spice runners, or at least that is the largest part of their crime syndicate as we know it.
Where does spice come from? KESSEL.
What surrounds Kessel? BLACK HOLES.
Since we have no idea where Thrawn went to at the end of Rebels, conceivably he's using those black holes as a funnel to himself in the unknown regions, where he can control Kessel, or at least gains a foothold on the spice trade, and using those credits and the Pykes as his proxy, builds up his fleet.
Further evidence for this: the chick Mando got the spear from, whom Ashoka questioned for the whereabouts of Thrawn, is Morgan Elsbeth. Elsbeth's claim to fame? Construction of the Imperial Navy.
And that's the end of Book of Boba Fett. They kick the Pykes off Tatooine, and in the process discover the connection to Thrawn.
And that's why we got Ashoka in episode 6 - in the finale she gets the clues she needs to go find Thrawn in her own show.
And with the help of Luke and, possibly Han as rumored, she will do so, setting up Heir to the Empire, Season 1.
We have the technology thanks to Shamook (deepfake master), now is the time.
And if you want to get super crazy, Ezra Bridger after years going crazy in deep space, is your de facto C'baoth.
