I actually liked the whole train flashback, it was interesting to see how they tackled the train problem, and stuff

I don't mind Boba sticking with the tuskens, but my only gripe is I don't understand why he's with them

He was kidnapped to be a slave, he got free, and whats his motivation for staying around?

I don't really know why he's not going around trying to find his armor, or go back to bounty hunting or whatever, I really don't know what his purpose is in the flashbacks, and I wish they went more into that

Did he just quit becoming a bounty hunter because some jawas stole his armor? Kinda weird he gave up on his life over that, what about his ship, his bank account and everything?

The flashback events are taking place after his escape from the sarlaac so its either during ROTJ or after ROTJ, so the empire may or may not be around (on its last days) and I'm surprised we didn't get to see that (post-liberation)

Didn't figure Boba to be the kind person who quits everything in his life after surviving a near death experience once, given his profession and decided to live among the first group of people he finds

I mean I don't mind him staying with tuskens and doing whatever but I wish I knew why

I think the reason he's staying is it's likely one of few, if any at all, exposures he's had since Jango to any true sense of family. It gets back to what Filoni has often talked about in terms of George's vision where the importance of family is very much at the heart of the SW story. The dreams are another tell here (thinking about Jango and Kamino etc).

I am in awe of what Filoni and Favreau are doing with these series. The franchise is in such great hands right now. I love the idea of exploring the grey in SW. I know, for me growing up, the OT seemed very black and white. Looking back you obviously don't see things the same way but I love how they are exploring it with these series.
