oh damn, thats cool! i wonder if its reused footage from when they filmed the OT with all sorts of scenes spliced into it
I think it’s just new actors, since it’s deleted scenes they can get away with a recast.

Definitely new actors. The infamous Koo Stark (look her up!) who played Camie has gotta be an old lady now.
The deleted scenes from Tattooine have been out officially since being released on CD-Rom around 1997 or so? The scene was also drawn in the original Star Wars comics by Marvel. They all call Luke "Wormie" and think he's a big dork.

Yep.
Boba is 100% going to war with Hutts/Pykes/Crimson Dawn with a Tusken army, isn’t he?
They just need to make some 'waaahoo' noises...scares the **** out of them.
Dances with Tuskens and I love that aspect of it. This episode did a fairly good job of showing the spiritual change in Fett from OT to now, with his escape from the Sarlaac acting like a literal re-birth.
When one has to contemplate the very real reality of their death the realisation that no one is going to shed a tear in your passing could have a profound effect on a person. Yes Boba escaped the Sarlaac but the Dune Sea then took everything from him, his armour his worth and his identity. Earning the respect of and in turn respecting the Tuskens plays hard into the indigenous people / Pocahontas story trope but I’m liking it. Their intervention did save his life and as the story develops it has given him a family of sorts. For a man who previously prided himself on being alone it is interesting to watch this transformation for the character.
This show is quite a fun western so far.

How exactly did this episode show the spiritual change in Fett? This feels like mostly headcanon justifications. The entire argument falls apart when you see he tried to run the first chance he gets, then, for unknown reasons, with no explanation nor hint of change, decides to stay with the Tuskens. Thus the Sarlacc never acted like a rebirth, if it did, why did he try to run immediately?
A good script and director would have shown us this change and they haven’t in any aspect. Boba just does it because the writers wrote it and we just have to accept that with nothing from the character signifying a shift in direction. There is no growth whatsoever. It is lazy and bad storytelling.
Hell, one scene of Jango saying “we earn the respect of our enemies son” could have cleared all this up and they couldn’t even do that.
Personally, I think that change would have been better represented if, after he cut himself free, he left the Rodian for dead instead of seeing if he wanted help.

Well folks today we learned about the plight of the Native "Tuskens", the evils of the Transcontinental Railroad, that lizards are one hell of a drug, basic woodworking, and we even got a dose of Michael Jackson's Thriller at the end.
Boba Fett my ***!!!

We joked about it earlier, but I was just waiting for the bartender to emerge when Morrison was first climbing on the speeder and say "I can't let you take the man's wheels son"
Finds some pod racing goggles on the speeder, puts them on and bad to the bone starts playing.
He's cool Enrique, he's with me. This is uhhhh Uncle Boba

This version of "Boba Fett" is so damn soft. Where is the mysterious and feared bounty hunter. This guy befriends a group that beat and enslaved him and constantly and politely gives the enemy free passes with no repercussions even if they have disrespected him.
This "Boba Fett" had to have Fennec press the Rancor button for him because he was too nice to do it himself...what is this?

The change doesn't come on him suddenly. It's a story arc give it time to play out. It's already started others have seen in so perhaps it's more of a POV thing on why you don't see it.
You keep referencing him trying to escape, that was in the first episode before he was able to observe the tribe. He was probably panicking a bit because he was going off the word of mouth of the Tuskens, so he wanted to get out of their. Remember back to the first episode of season 2 of Mando. the locals hated and feared the Tuskens because they didn't understand them, by the end of the episode they learned they were more then just a savage tribe.
Once he was able to observe them, see they weren't going to torture and kill him as soon as he woke up, and he rationally thought out escape vs biding time, it explains why he opted to stop trying to escape. Besides think about this, where exactly was he going to go if he did escape? He was in the middle of a desert, didn't know where he was, had no armor or weapons, no food, no water. Once the fear went away and he realized they were letting him live, escaping to the desert would of been a death sentence.
A writer and director doesn't need to spell these things out, if the audience actually thinks about what's happening. If they filled in these gaps the show would get bloated with exposition and everyone would be complaining on how long and boring the show was, or that why does the show feel the audience is to stupid to figure these things out.
The growth and change are there, you just aren't seeing it.
He was able to observe the tribe when they dragged him through the sand behind a Bantha. Then he was able to observe them for at least a full day before nightfall. He did observe the tribe.
Him escaping into the desert is not a death sentence. He seemed quite aware of where he needed to go, Anchorhead, and the direction he needed to take to get there. A Sarlacc pit is a death sentence. He survived. Sitting days under twin suns unconscious is a death sentence. He survived. Fighting a six appendage monster while in chains is a death sentence. He survived. This is supposed to be Boba Fett.
And let’s assume it is a death sentence. Why didn’t he escape after killing the monster? They spent hours digging up water. He had water to take back with him. He still goes back. Why? What is the reason for that?
I have thought plenty about what is happening. Everyone likes throwing around “headcannon” but so far the only headcannon I see is when it is used to defend this poorly written show. These are all assumptions you are making in your head. We don’t see the growth, you are imagining it. (That isn’t meant to be disrespectful or rude.)
When drastically changing a known established character such as Fett, some exposition is needed. Some hints are needed. Some reason for such a change is needed. We got nothing to show for it on screen. Nothing. Not a intriguing head turn. Not studying the Tusken’s. Not a flashback to his past explaining to respect enemies. It was a light switch. They turned Boba into this other character just like that.
That goes against everything in Star Wars. Did Anakin turn evil instantly? No, it was built up over three movies and the dots were easy to connect. Same with Han Solo turning into a scoundrel to a mostly good guy scoundrel. Even Din went from complete to the job to visibly loving Grogu.
Is anyone going to answer my questions? Or just give me some drawn up theory in their head defending this awful storytelling?

As a kid I always assumed the Tusken Raiders were weird looking aliens. They all had buggy eyes and little antennae and freaky mouths. But now I see that's just some kind of covering. But they wear it all the time. How do they eat?
What do they look like under there?
I wonder if we'll ever find out.
What is a half Tusken, half Boba Fett gonna look like?
Can Boba Fett even procreate? I'm not very current on the science of gene splicing and cloning. Not sure if they have proper reproductive capabilities. The Replicants in Blade Runner did not, at least until 2049 decided they did.
