Random observations: -
Nice to get a closer look at one of those crane walkers from Solo!
So, as expected Dyn's covert really was an extremist religious cult. Based on the name ("Children of the Watch"?) and the markings on the warriors that rescued him as a child, one assumes they had been part of Death Watch, before Maul shattered it.
I'm hoping for a scene between Bo Katan and The Armourer now. One assumes they know each other.
Frogwai's reaction to Bo Katan taking her helmet off just screamed "oh, dad doesn't like when they do that..."
Bo Katan's helmet is spot on, and the armour itself appropriately even looks like it did in Rebels rather than Clone Wars.
Still kinda wild we're getting a live action adaptation of a cartoon character played by the same actor...and Kevin Conroy only beat her to it by a few months!
"Dank farrik"? Isn't that what the blue guy in the very first episode said? Does Star Wars officially have a new curse phrase? And of course it would be used by Katie frakking Sackhoff!
Had a slight brain-fart moment trying to figure out why the other Niteowl warrior (I gather the actress is a pro wrestler?) had straps across her forehead...then I realised it was a hair braid. Not the first time we've seen a Mando with a more sensible helmet wearing haircut, though with the exception of Pre Vizla, all the noble blooded types seem to have the less practical ones. Part of my wonders if giving Sabine the pixiecut in the Rebel's epilogue was to make it easier for any actor that might play her in live action to avoid the helmet hair problem altogether.
Interesting to see Quarren and Mon Cala living and working together away from their home planet. Quite telling though that they still didn't seem to mix all that much at the cantina. A subtle bit of background storytelling.
Weird seeing a gozanti in live action...which is itself doubly weird since it's first appearance WAS in live action.
That said, yeah I rather think he didn't win it in single combat. The fact Bo Katan is so adamant about getting it back implies he has no right to wield it (IIRC Ursa said something about this to Sabine, who similarly didn't fight Maul for it.)

I'm still only like 60% sure she'll show up. Partly because I don't want to get my hopes up too much (despite, or because of how much we got in this episode) but also I wouldn't put it past Filloni to tease the audience like that.
Honestly the "Heiress" title brought her to mind right from the off, though I tried not to get my hopes up...but as soon as I saw the westar-35's AND the helmet's markings, I knew it was her.
Well, I mean they cast Giancarlo Esposito, so I wouldn't be shocked he really can go toe-to-toe with even Bo Katan. He may even be Mandalorian himself; wouldn't be the first time one served the Empire...or even the second....or third...or fourth....or fifth.
That said, yeah I rather think he didn't win it in single combat. The fact Bo Katan is so adamant about getting it back implies he has no right to wield it (IIRC Ursa said something about this to Sabine, who similarly didn't fight Maul for it.)
She also doesn't wear Niteowl markings, have hair that isn't an explosion of colours, and like Bo Katan, she's generally goes with dual pistols, not one.
Sure you would, once you know what to look for.
