(Wrist rockets! Knee darts! Those no-look kill shots! How he swung that gaffi stick! We're not worthy.) The whole endeavor was so deeply nerdy that I'm even willing to forgive the slight logic gap that Boba Fett would've allowed the far less threatening Cobb Vanth to hold on to his armor all this time, and instead chose to wait until a clearly deadly Mandalorian took it halfway across the galaxy before he and Fennec tried to get it back - Star Wars has plenty of those kinds of plot contrivances that can be handwaved away for the sake of a cool moment, after all. The glorious moment when Boba Fett returned in his iconic - if battered - armor to take out basically an entire squad of stormtroopers was worth the price of admission alone, enough to redeem the bounty hunter's ignominious exit in Return of the Jedi. Even if the episode had settled for simply being a team-up between Mando, Boba Fett, and the resurrected Fennec Shand (now sporting some cybernetic innards to make up for being shot by that punk Toro Calican, who we will never speak of again), it still would've been pretty badass, since the entire sequence delivered the most creative and well-executed action we've seen on The Mandalorian so far.
