Given the initial trade deal was for the safety of The Child for the armor, Boba and Fennec believe themselves to be in Mando’s debt and insist on helping him track down The Child.
As they race back to Grogu, Gideon engages his Dark Troopers, a group of robotic soldiers who descend on the mountaintop and kidnap The Child just as he awakens, and without his jetpack Mando can do nothing but watch.
Meanwhile, Fennec and Boba engage in a gunfight with the Stormtroopers aboard the transport ship, Boba also utilizing a staff-like weapon to take down a number of Stormtroopers advancing on the hill.
Mando heads off to buy Grogu some time and comes face-to-face with Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison), who appears very scarred and is after the armor Mando acquired from Cobb Vanth on Tatooine.
