Boba is reinventing himself. He’s fortunate to have not died in the sarlacc, and if he continues down the bounty hunting path his father set for him, he will end up dead just like his father. I think this is what his dream symbolized.
He spared the Gamoreans, and they saved him when the Order of the Night Wind assassins attacked. He helped the cyborg biker gang and they saved him when Black Krrsantan attacked. He freed Krrsantan and I bet that will end up benefiting him later on as well.
This is a different Boba. One that mourns when a Tusken family dies and doesn’t want to see a rancor suffer. I think it would be boring if a character stayed the same for over 40 years and I don’t think Star Wars would be successful if limited to the same characters doing the same thing decade after decade. People evolve and Star Wars evolves.
