#BobaFett was NEVER Space Punisher. He was the best of a Space Apple Dumpling Gang who lucked out shipping an ice cube who STILL managed to dump him in the Sarlacc on a space backwater. The Empire HATED Space Rasputin's disintegration-prone flunky contractor "scum." WATCH AGAIN
The Empire just overran Hoth but remember how many AT-ATs, AT-STs & Star Destroyers got taken out doing it, which probably made GREAT reporting to Palpatine who wants Vader to update him. Yeah, it's NOT great but the Empire was short handed in the zone. Enter the bounty hunters.
WHO SHOWED UP?
2 trigger-happy droids, 2 aliens (one apparently a clairvoyant, so Space Miss Cleo?!) a dude fresh from a swoop bike accident, & Boba. That's NOT a lot of people answering the call to hunt a piece of junk w. a princess leading a galactic rebellion.
THIS WAS BAD
"REALLY. I have to spell it out to YOU, ESPECIALLY."
From someone who literally fought alongside Boba's dad's clones. This has happened at least once, and implies, often enough it went beyond the acceptable possibilities of of
a "complicated" profession

"I see why they call you the best bounty hunter in the galaxy," may not actually be much high praise from Vader. Fett lost a kid who destroyed a Death Star & the pilot of the ship that sent Vader spinning off into space. Foiled by a prissy protocol droid & a cussing astomech.
In context, Fett's series IS on brand, but go in remembering who he IS, as he gets his ass handed to him taking on gigs WAY over his head. It's an action-comedy of the galaxy's "greatest" bounty hunter retiring, making a "comeback" in the ONLY place he can, podunk Tatooine. Harsh
If I had to guess for Season 2:
"Yeah, that might work in Mos Espa, but this is MOS EISLEY, pal. People with death marks have regular tabs here. Well, used to. But the point stands."
"I shoulda stayed near Hoth."
No,seriously: swoop bike accident. LOL. "Elite." Note: CHANCE encounter. 🙄
