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
You’re right. The area where they fight the krayt dragon does seem significantly more rocky. The pit in RotJ just has sand dunes around it.
Maybe after the sail barge exploded, the sarlacc left the Pit of Carkoon and moved into that cave. Din Djarin and Cob Vanth both refer to that cave as a sarlacc pit and deduce the krayt dragon must have eaten the sarlacc that was there. It doesn’t have to be the same sarlacc that Boba Fett was in. I’m just trying to guess what happened.
Cob Vanth says he got the armor not long after the second Death Star exploded. Boba Fett’s temporary attire and weapon suggest he spent some time with the Tuskens. They probably nursed him back to health after his ordeal.
I like the idea of Boba being tortured in the sarlacc for a while. Maybe the sarlacc can’t digest beskar and spit the armor out for Jawas to salvage. Maybe Boba wasn’t in there long at all, the Jawas salvaged his armor and left him for dead until the Tuskens found him. Maybe something else entirely. I do think they will definitely address it though.
