After more research about the end..
I am starting to think it was indeed Fett. It does seem to make a lot of sense.

Is it actually Fett, or the guy from the Aftermath books that wears his armor?

Have to sit through this show because girlfriend is a Star Trek fan.
I have to smoke a lot of weed to get through this thing.

I'm not sure I'm on board with the speculation over the ending or at least, I'd fear a popular character jobbing to the new guy. Also, have this fun meme.

No because Boba Fettt is dead and isn't a Mandalorian but a clone of Jango and thus wouldn't know anything about Mandalorian culture.
I didn't need to see Ming Na-Wen dying again...
I didn't say that there was a problem with it or even any of the rest of fan service, specifically. I didn't mind that he visited Mos Eisley, but the fan service kept going on and on from there. I like a little of it in each episode, but this one overdid it for me.

So many Easter Eggs in Episode 5

At least they actually went to Tatooine instead of the "Here's a desert planet that looks exactly like Tatooine but isn't Tatooine" crap they've been doing with the films (and even early in this series).

Fun episode. I'm sure it'll eventually get to bigger plot points eventually, but it's refreshing to have a show where you can just sit back and enjoy the adventure.
I didn't hate that convenience put the Mando on Tatooine. Honestly, knowing that he was in the Outer Rim I fully expected him to end up there at some point or another. My only thing is I really figured the Hutt cartel (which extended beyond just Jabba) would play some kind of role and that might result in some job for the Mando on Tat.
So the circumstances that got him there are a little dumb, but it's pretty well settled that the Outer Rim is where more of the Star Wars seedy underbelly is situated. I didn't find the fan service of going back to a planet that's appeared in five out of eight films and countless video games/books to be offensive at all.
It's a well known planet in the Star Wars narrative universe. I understand the need to grow the galaxy and see new places, but isn't it a little silly to suggest that nobody but Luke, Han, 3PO, R2, Obi Wan, Anakin, and Padme would have a reason to go there?
Does everything that is familiar necessarily have to be fan service now?

Tatooine in general isn’t just any planet in the Outer Rim either. As far as that region is concerned, it’s more major hub than backwater. And the cantina is definitely the first place for a traveler looking for work to stop.
Or at least it was. It sounds a lot like the cartels have been pretty well smacked around by the New Republic, so I guess that would include the Hutts. And the bounty hunters guild no longer has a presence there. I think that, as a result, Mos Eisley certainly looked a lot more like a ghost town than it did 10 years earlier. And compared to when we saw it in TPM, well... it may as well be a different planet.
I thought the episode was good. I’m very pleasantly surprised at the episodic nature of things in the middle part of the season. At this point, I expect him to keep bouncing around for another episode until things come to a head very suddenly in the final 2.

Hey man, thanks for letting us know.
I pity you... not because you don't like this show, but because, if your girlfriend is a Star Trek fan, she may eventually make you watch Star Trek: Discovery, as well. No amount of weed will help you then.

Droids used to be banned from the Cantina
Now they run it
Well, well....

I liked the episode. 2 and 3 are my favourites thus far, but all have been enjoyable.
It seems like whether you consider the references to the past movies to be “fan service” or “Easter Eggs” depends on how cynical you are. It’s a Star Wars show, there are going to be references to past works - I wish some people would get over that.
This show is a fun “hang” as I see it - well directed and filmed, entertaining and concisely written. As a fan of many smaller-scale, character-driven TV shows, I’m really enjoying watching Star Wars in a more low-stakes type of story where I can just kind of sink into the characters and the world. It’s a nice change of pace from the usual life and death/empire vs rebels/Jedi vs Sith story where plot is being churned through at a million miles per minute.

Oh man, another episode where he goes to a new planet and does a side quest with one of the locals.
This show desperately lacks direction and a main plot.

Why do you have to watch the show just because your GF does? That's a weird dynamic you have going there.
I enjoyed the last episode. 2 and 3 are still my favorites. 4 was by far the worst.
