The krayt dragon in S2E1 of The Mandalorian was living in an abandoned sarlacc pit. Din Djarin hypothesized that it may have eaten the sarlacc and move into its pit. Is this the same sarlacc Boba was in?

But wasn’t that sarlacc pit in a cave, rather than a hole in the ground? Surely it can’t be the same location. I honestly think the best explanation might be that Boba had more gear than your average sarlacc victim and was able to claw his way out. The sarlacc likely died when Jabba’s sail barge exploded anyway.

Explaining how Boba parted ways with his armour might be more difficult. I can guess they might just not explain it, and we’d just have to accept that somehow Boba and his armour were separated for the sake of story convenience. But a cool explanation might be: after he escapes the sarlacc, he wanders (jetback is presumably broken) in search of life without food or water, and like Cobb Vanth, he is found unconscious by Jawas. Although the Jawas rescue Cobb Vanth when they later find him, Boba Fett’s villainous reputation comes back to bite him as the Jawas recognise him and instead choose to steal his armour and leave him for dead. I like that idea and it would really humiliate Boba, a big part of his ‘fall from grace’ that leads to him being a more honourable man in The Mandalorian.
