Amazingly I watched the ATM episode last night! I’m rewatching the whole series with my partner who never saw it. Admittedly the last time I saw most of the episodes was when they aired so it’s been a while.

Yeah I can imagine that place was a...fixer upper??

It’s probably the best example I can think of, save for maybe…

* The more you touch your face the worse off you are
* What, you going for a lot of long drives man?
* If you don’t yet have a mask that’s comfortable enough you can do a short drive with it on why not? You had six months.

All of the above would be…

I mean yeah. Their businesses aren’t financially solvent even when they don’t pay people enough to live. They’ll stop running long before they pay more because it’s literally cheaper to close the doors.

So yes, they will try literally anything except that. When that is the only option left they will cease operation.

Optimistic theory: Season 2 will be less about what “really happened” to Boba Fett and more about what would happen in a galaxy with a Boba Fett vacuum.

So we’ll have one episode of a guy toting around what is probably Fett’s old armor from the sarlaac. But is he really Fett? No.
