We may yet discover a link between Bib Fortuna and the killing of the Tusken tribe Fett adhered to. Who knows.

What's clear is that in this series we are getting a deep-dive into some of the cultures and traditions of Tatooine, that are actually central to the entire Star Wars saga but which we have been asked to take at face value so far.

Anakin Skywalker and his mother were slaves on Tatooine. Shmi Skywalker was eventually kidnapped by Tuskens who tortured her; this directly led to Anakin's first taste of the dark side and his interest in necromancy that then caused him to become a disciple of Darth Sidious. Luke Skywalker was raised by moisture farmers on Tatooine. His family dealt with Jawas and Tuskens from day to day. Plus, the Hutt family operation on Tatooine drew Han Solo into the fray.

In this series, Boba Fett (who has only ever known bounty hunting, and only because it was his father's trade) is learning how to live and move amongst these cultures, and through him we learn too.

Also, last night I loved that we got a decent in-universe explanation for the distress of the rancor keeper after it was killed by Luke Skywalker. All that stuff about the creatures bonding with their owner was quite lovely. I can't wait to see where they go with it.
