I quite liked this one even though it is completely moved into the present, there is only a short flashback as Boba leaves the Tusken village in order to negotiate with the Pykes on Tuskens' behalf, only to find the village burned down and all his Tusken friends dead. It is a very sad moment for Boba as he found his place among the Tuskens and now he has to start all over again. The majority of the episode is set in the present, and we see the ridiculous Hutts again. Earlier on, he has to resolve a dispute between water monger and people who steal his water, and Boba ends up "adopting" the gang as his bodyguards. They are a bit ridiculous too but overall it is rather a humorous addition to the show. The girl who is the leader surely has pluck and the speeder bikes chase was quite fun to watch. The Hutts first send the bad Chewie to assassinate Boba, but the threat is removed with the help of the gang. Later the Hutts apologise and give Boba a present, which is a sort of monster called rancor, according to its trainer, these creatures can be very friendly and form bonds with their owners, and it looks like the creature really liked Boba, but I wonder whether it is some sort of a plot to assassinate Boba after all and the trainer is not honest with Boba and intends to set the rancor on Boba someday? Apparently the Pykes come to attack Boba's city, they were not friendly to him in the retrospectives, and Boba found the sign of the orc-like creatures who featured in the previous episode in the destroyed Tusken village, so maybe these two things are connected. I really loved the scene when the mechanic lady from "The Mandalorian" is shown with her droids, it was a nice call back to the earlier show and a sort of continuity.
