Like @Reverend said, there's a pretty good chance he followed Dyn to Mos Pelgo and then while following him saw the armor.

Yep. I'm willing to accept that. But, it's still a low probability coincidence that Fett is there just at the right moment. I"m assuming there is quite a bit of time between him losing the armor and then finding it again. But, the most unlikely thing to exist is a universe without coincidences.
Tatooine is a pretty big planet and a man who at best might have access to pack animals or a speeder or swoop bike for transportation could take months or even years to track down his armor after learning that Jawas had scavenged it from the Pit of Carkoon. Mos Pelgo isn't that far from Mos Eisley or Mos Espa but on foot and with limited resources in a desert environment with twin suns that can't be an overnight trip nor that easy, especially if Boba spent most of the post-Sarlacc period on foot trying to eke out a living trading and/or hunting and scavenging.
I don't know if I would call it the right moment. Fett would likely be looking for his armor, and trying to survive on Tatooine. So, it's not like he has infinite resources to be doing these things.
By right moment, I just mean the moment that the armor is leaving the planet. If he has been looking for it continuously for a very long time on a very big planet, then he is fortunate to catch it at the very moment it would be gone forever. Even if it is a result of him tracking Mando, he is lucky to be there. If he just happened to be converging on the Sheriff after tracking him down, he is lucky to be there at that moment. etc.
Yep. I'm willing to accept that too. That's how I took it when I watched the episode. But all the comments here have started me thinking.
I get that. But, I feel like that is reading way to much in to it, which is the nature of the beast, I suppose.Yep. I'm willing to accept that too. That's how I took it when I watched the episode. But all the comments here have started me thinking.
Yes, having Fett show up when he did was just a way to introduce him to the show. Maybe they could have done it differently, but it's not an issue with me. I think Fett is one of the good guys. Hope so anyway. And when this Jedi joins them, they will be one hell of a team.
Does he? As far as onscreen material goes, we only see him working for the Empire once, in ESB, where he is one of several bounty hunters hired by the Empire.
He did work for Vader some in the comics set between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. In the first story arc, which crosses over between the core Star Wars series and the first Darth Vader series, Vader hires him to find the pilot who destroyed the Death Star.
StarWars.com posted their Mando Download for the last episode after it aired, it includes a Boba Fett poster, screen caps, and the concept art show at the end of the episode. I noticed the concept art includes the inside of Slave One, I wonder if there was originally a scene in the ship that was either cut or never filmed.

If you don't remember, mando was contracted by empire to get grogu.. If it was any regular stiff he wouldn't have cared and took there credits.
My thing is.. Why was boba on the skiff in RotJ? Maybe he was on retainer of jabba? Between jobs?

In Legends EU he charge Jabba so much for Han in Carbonite that Jabba kept him around to keep on working.
Anyone else remember that time when Maul nearly went crazy (again) randomly searching Tatooine for months? And he had the force!
Tatooine is a planet covered entirely by rock and sand. Imagine Earth for a second. Now drain the oceans, and reduce the population to just a few million. That's your haystack; have fun locating that needle in under a decade!
Oh and it's not a coincidence Boba showed up just as Dyn was leaving with his armour if Dyn was the one he was following, because; "rumour of guy walking around in mando armour" is going to drawn the attention of someone *looking for mando armour*. And here's the thing about following someone: it generally means you get to where their going *after* them. Because, you know..."following".

There was a scene inside the ship; we saw Boba piloting it.
In ANH Special Edition, Fett is one of Jabba's henchmen in the scene where Jabba has his nice chat with Solo before Luke, Obi Wan, the droids, and the stormtroopers all show up.
It looks like Fett hired/paid twice to do the same job. He was chasing Solo to collect the bounty from Jabba. Vader also hired him to find Solo and bring him to Vader first.
He still could be on contract from time to time. Jabba just happens to be consistent source of pay.
I'm not following...
Of course the whole issue is- Boba Fett fell in fully armored. So for him to have lost the armor he had to have taken it off himself and then somehow crawled out of the sarlacc.
The only other explanation is whoever found him, took the armor and sold it while he was unconscious, and of course he found out the armor was no longer around after he got out of whatever med bay or hospital he recovered in.
I mean, that makes the most sense to me. The early part of the season showed plenty of scavengers attacking Din. An unconcious person is an easy mark.
I think it's a safe bet that the general sequence of events goeth thusly: -
P.S. I know I brought this up already but the visual has been rattling around in my brain so I needed to illustrate it.
I mean...am I the only one that thinks this is exactly how Favreau came up with that name?
- Sail Barge explodes.
- Sarlacc gets a throat full of burning jagged shrapnel.
- Boba claws/cuts/grapples/jetpacks his way though the stomach and out of the wound before passing out on the sand.
- Sandcrawler shows up to pick over the scrap.
- Jawas strip Fetts armour off his unconscious body, leaves him for dead.
- After a sandstorm, sand people show up to pick over what the Jawas didn't already take, or just to marvel at a slain sarlacc.
- Tuskens get murdered to death by what they thought was a dead body when they try to salvage it's "water" (fremen style.)
- Boba takes some of their robes, weapons and a Bantha and makes for wherever the hell Slave One is parked.
