I finally got to watch the episode and I have to say I was a bit underwhelmed. It’s too early to judge, but I think my main two issues are:

Boba Fett seems suddenly really tame. I don’t have a problem with post-Mando Boba being that way, but the Boba Fett that came out of the sarlacc and is captured by the tusken raiders seems very mellow. It doesn’t seem like the OT Boba Fett who had to be told not to disintegrate people. The fact that he’s smiling as the tusken kid shows off the kraken head seemed so out of place to me. I expected a tougher, more determined and ruthless Boba Fett to start with. If he had been consciously trying to escape the sarlacc for years before he succeeded, that would help explain why he might be different, but the episode shows him waking up and then almost immediately blasting his way out. The fight with the town ninjas also made Boba seem kind of pathetic. Given the kind of action we’ve gotten from the Mandalorian, you’d think a renowned bounty hunter would put up a bit more of a fight, without needing Gamorrean guards. Then again, he did blow up a guard, so maybe he was just trying to avoid causing too much trouble at first.
The ending felt too open-ended, but it wasn’t a cliff-hanger, so it left me feeling dissatisfied without strongly wanting more. I feel like something more should have happened with that guard that was captured, setting up some kind of problem or more serious conflict for the next episode.

There were several things I did enjoy:

The sarlacc escape and Boba losing his armour to the Jawas, then his freedom to the sandpeople. It was exactly what I would have expected and handling it any other way would have felt wrong, I think.
The world-building, especially the shots of Mos Espa and getting a look at the tusken raiders.
Seeing a lot of familiar aliens and other “Tatooine stuff” in a setting where it didn’t feel shoehorned in or world-shrinking.
