True, but then he has to escape without the armor, and the armor has to get off of his body while he’s still inside the Sarlaac. I think an extended recovery period with the Sandpeople is more plausible.
It will be interesting to see where they go with it. Definitely looks like he spent some time Tuskens considering his attire. Since Cob Vanth got the armor not long after the second Death Star exploded, I guessed the sarlacc couldn’t digest beskar and spit it up or pooped it out. Maybe Jawas regularly scavenge around the sarlacc.
I guess he could have spent the entire five years with the Tuskens though. Maybe it’s a combination of both, part of the five years spent in the sarlacc, and part with the Tuskens.
I’m just excited to see the show. Bring it on!
