That was one hell of an episode. It was so good that I can't even think of a sarcastic quip.

Yeah, as others said, it was short, sweet, to the point and freaking nuts.

{Spoiler}It's taken damn near 40 years, but Boba Fett is a punchline no more - we have finally seen the galaxy's most-feared bounty hunter do more than stand next to Vader and look cool or get owned by a blind man who doesn't know where he is.
And anything that keeps Ming-Na Wen around on the show is all good with me.

It's maddening, actually.

And Moff Gideon can go f*** a chainsaw.

Empire Stormtroopers: Outnumber them 6 to 1, armed with a laser turret and a grenade launcher, and STILL CAN'T GET THE JOB DONE!!! When the first cargo ship landed, my teeth clenched thinking that it was going to be either the Dark Troopers or somebody else. When the Stormtroopers came out, I said to my girlfriend "Oh, never mind. This will be a piece of cake." Never change, Stormtroopers.

Boba is way more competent after being half digested.
Awesome episode.

Love that Fett got the “Vader at the end of Rogue One” treatment

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Looks like Mando is putting a crew together....
I hope someone says “you son of a Vulptex, I’m in!” {Spoiler}I know we're getting Bill Burr back next week, but I'm hoping we'll see Clancy Brown and Natalia Tena along for the ride, too. If Mando's gonna be on the New Republic's shit list for busting out Mayfeld, he might as well go all the way. Plus it would be fun seeing Burg wrecking Stormtroopers.
It begs the question, who doesn't make it back? Mayfeld will almost certainly betray them to the Imps, but I expect Gideon not to be terribly sympathetic to a deserter and kills him. I cannot believe they'd kill Boba off, so maybe Fennec?

Hell, it would give Moff a ton more heat.

Hell, it would give Moff a ton more heat. {Spoiler}That did cross my mind, but it feels a little too on the nose, given Disney cancelled the Boba Fett movie because Favreau came to them with the idea for the show. Mando has become a beloved character in his own right, so there's no need for him to have hand-me-downs from legacy characters.
Plus nobody besides Harrison Ford was happy with Han spending years to find something that was a big part of his identity that he had lost, only to die almost immediately. I feel like Favreau and Filoni are smarter than that.
The only way I see it working is if Mando is declared an enemy of the New Republic for pulling a second jailbreak, in addition to already having to keep several steps ahead of the Empire, and decides he needs a crew in order to survive.
There's only so much mileage you can get out of one guy and a puppet planet hopping from episode to episode, so adding Boba, Fennec, and maybe one more to the primary cast would introduce a new dynamic to the show. Hell, you could put Ahsoka in there, since she has history with Boba.

Now that Filoni and Faverau have redeemed Boba Fett into the badass he was meant to be maybe they can get the rights to Capitan Phasma next

{Spoiler}Also, call me crazy, but I'm starting to think we might see Luke show up.
Hear me out.
We know Grogu isn't around for the prequels, and neither are the Jedi; Ahsoka's voice being heard by Rey with Obi-Wan, Anakin, Yoda, Qui-Gon, and Mace suggests that by the time of the sequels she's dead too. The easy assumption to make is Grogu has not survived by then, or is still too young - if he's a 50 year-old infant, he's probably no more than a toddler or young child at 75.
But I can't see them pulling a "Grogu goes off to train under Luke and is presumably killed by Ben Solo", but I also don't see them having Grogu go off and train under another Jedi while Mando moves on with his life. They've played heavily on how much Mando is not looking forward to saying goodbye, as well as Grogu being in control of his own destiny. Plus as compelling a character as Mando is, if you take Grogu out of it the show's over.
The show is literally a story about a man sworn to live a mostly solitary existence learning to accept and love his adopted son, so how about if Luke is the one who answers Grogu's call and rather than go train to be a Jedi, Grogu instead chooses to stay with his "father" and the reason he's not around in the sequels is because he's happily living in the Clan Mudhorn covert on Mandalore?
Besides all that, seeing people go nuts over Boba being back in his armour, can you imagine how much people would lose their minds if in the season finale things are looking bleak for our heroes and suddenly we get a rear shot of a hooded figure in black, who ignites a green lightsaber? Twitter would break.
