* IKnewIt: Many fans already correctly guessed that Boba Fett was the unknown figure seen approaching Fennec Shand's body at the end of "[[Recap/TheMandalorianS1E5Chapter5TheGunslinger Chapter Five: The Gunslinger]]", and that this meant she was NotQuiteDead.

** A big one for the character of Boba Fett. For years after the original movies, his status as a badass was almost entirely a meme, and his actual actions in the films regarded as little more than a joke. But here? Boba Fett is actually a badass, a really scary OneManArmy even without his armor.
** Last season, a lot of fans were outraged at Ming-Na Wen seemingly being wasted on a rather dull one-off villain. But not only is Fennec still alive, her character is greatly expanded alongside Boba, and gets an extended action sequence establishing her as a OneWomanArmy.
** One of the more controversial retcons that ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' made was the revelation that Jango Fett, and by extension his son Boba, were not real Mandalorians. Granted, this claim came from [[CorruptPolitician Prime Minister Almec]], who's not the most trustworthy source, and the New Mandalorians were clearly trying to save face, so EpilepticTrees suggested that Almec was lying about the situation, but this episode restores the Mandalorian status of the Fetts and suggests that Almec was wrong[[note]]This was largely an accident. When the Clone Wars episode came out there was a comic series covering Jango's life and involvement in the Mandalorian civil war, where he fought against the faction Almec is secretly in league with explaining why he would lie. Then when Disney reset the EU but left the series intact all that was left was Almec's lie. This episode brought back Jango's backstory in BroadStrokes.[[/note]].

It didn't help that for Chapters 1 and 3, Rodriguez had to to direct Boba Fett in a physically weaker state, necessitating less impressive action sequences (including one that doesn't feature Boba at all).

* HilariousInHindsight: In the ColdOpen, Din laments to Grogu, "I can't train you. You're just too powerful." In ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'', Grogu's Jedi trainer ends the teaching early partially because Grogu proves so powerful, that -- to paraphrase the trainer -- it feels more like he's helping Grogu remember old skills, than teaching him new ones.
