You said logic or science. Can you see how that can muddy your intent?

Sure. Can you see how, with further explanation, that the intent is now clear?
These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

We see him stand around. Say about 7 words in 2 movies. Shoot like 4 feet over Lukes head (what a crack shot!), fly directly into the side of a ship the first time we see him use his jet pack, and then fall directly into a giant monster butt hole in the sand.
He's useless. He looks great. Agreed. But he's nothing and he does nothing.

It was absolutely fantastic!
And yeah tons of referances
Spoiler:
Like how they originally tried to use the trick Revan used in KOTOR to kill a Krayt dragon.
And Boba Fett's apperance right at the end bodes VERY intreasting for the future. I can't want to see him and the Mandalorian go toe to toe (you KNOW it's coming)

When he explained the plan I thought that was dumb and overly complicated and that they should have just done the thing he ended up doing from the start.
Also I have to laugh at a friend of mine who disputes that this is a western. Like be straight up makes the sound of Spurs when he walks.

the plan makes a lot more sense when you realize it was a call back to KOTOR

Mando's handling of Gor Koresh was darker than anything I recall from S1.
I know the swinging holster looks cool but it's a terrible idea and you can't draw from one for gak if it's a remotely tight fit.
Mando's armor >>> Boba Fett's armor.
Looks like Dune released early.
Edit: Also, WEEQUAY
Edit2: I guessed it would be the imagining of a Krayt Dragon as soon as I saw it. Called it if only for myself.
Edit3: I really like how this guy has repurposed so many items. Nice callbacks.
Edit: Final observations.
Spoiler:
I like the callbacks to KOTOR and RTJ (Mando hitting the jetpack).
Nice Krayt Dragon Pearl.
Guy at the end is absolutely Boba Fett.
This is show is great. Particularly because it doesn't try to be more than what it is.

Yeah even the Tusken Raiders are recontextualized as Native Americans. Real cowboys and Indians style western story
For some reason that Krayt Dragon at first made me think of the monsters from the movie Tremors, before we got a good look at it.
Spoiler:
Loved some of the winks and nods at different things. The KOTOR references particularly, like the pearl and stuff. Interesting portrayal of the Tusken Raiders as being analogous of Native Americans, although they'd already shown that in the first season. The other things I liked were the appearance of previously established species that were seldom shown, like Weequay and Abyssin.

Was that R5-D4? Seemed to have damage right where the intentionally blown motivator was when Uncle Owen tried to buy it from the Jawas.

And the overall plan. Remember, it was the Tusken’s plan. And as The Mando said, they are the experts.
It’s also at least Legends Canon that the Tusken’s form a serious bond with their Bantha’s. It may be that this tribe simply didn’t consider themselves to have Bantha’s to spare.
Given how terse the alliance was, it probably made sense to follow the Tusken’s lead on that one?

Spoiler:
They could be faking us out. Boba (checking Wookieepedia) was around 32 at the time of Yavin.
Endorse was 4 ABY, so Boba was around 36 when he made a tasty snack.
Mando is 9 ABY, so Boba would be 41 (slightly older than I).
Given a life of action, and the toll that takes on a body? Almost certainly Boba, rather than a Clone. Even the youngest of Clones (one produced in 22ABY, when the Republic fell would be.....31 natural years, but aged to what, 25 for combat duties? Certainly Rex looked a good deal older on Endor.
