Pretty much that. I feel that Fett was content to live out his years as one of the sand people until Din showed up and disrupted the status quo.

The Mando Show is 5 years after ROTJ and I don't necessarily think we can assume he had been out of the Sarlacc pit a very long time when we see him in season 1. As to how compelled he initially was to retrieve his armor (presumably stolen by Jawas as he lay out unconscious on the sands after his escape?) remains to be seen.
I hope the Jawas pull it off him
I should always proof read my posts lolYou hope the Jawas do WHAT to him?!?!

Disney moved the release date of new Disney+ shows to Wednesday from Friday mid-pandemic because they didn't want Friday night (and Saturday night) big-budget movie theater releases of Disney movies to compete with their Disney+ shows (back when we all thought the pandemic was over...). They want you and your money on Wednesday night AND Friday night to consume their product.
LOL!! typical disney! lol
Jokes on them, because even before I rarely went to the theater! I never understood companies having that mentality when they scheduled tv time slots. If I want to watch something, I'd stay home and watch something. I have self control. How many people are seriously sitting there on a Friday and going "I can't watch this show!!! It's Friday!!! I MUST go to the theater!" Seriously?
i was kind of the opposite, i would wake up at 4am every friday to watch it with a few online friends.

For a lot of years, going to movies with friends was my Friday nights. If a network was dumb enough to schedule a TV show on Friday... well, that's what the VCR was for, if I really wanted to see it. Otherwise, my attitude was (and is) I can't want everything and so I'll do what's the most fun.
Sometimes, sitting at home quietly and watching TV is in fact the most fun. But going to a movie with a group of friends is an experience that is about much, much more than just seeing the movie, and when Friday nights was the best time for that to happen - the movie (and the hanging with friends) almost always won out. (Leaving aside the fact that some films - the new Dune is a good example - just don't have the same impact on a small screen. I found the new Dune a little bit boring, but I still enjoyed it. I probably would have turned it off halfway through if I wan't getting those visuals on the big screen, though.)
I imagine there's still a lot of people like that. Heck, were theatres open here I'd still be like that, although these days the best day for such shenanigans is Thursday. So I personally appreciate Disney deciding to shift their streaming drops to a day when I don't have anything else scheduled.
That said, the current plan is to watch BOBF with my Covid Bubble, and we need to finish Bebop first so it'll be about a month before I get to start BOBF. Lots of spoiler dodging in my future!
Who thinks there is a future where the manadlorian and all these star wars tv shoes have special screenings in theatres? It seems like a good way to get your week filled in smaller theatre's that need a good tactic to recover that covid loss.
Didn't they do something like that with game of thrones or some other tv show?

That's one thing I miss about living in Japan. The new Space Battleship Yamato series that started, ugh, almost a decade ago, now... Each chapter as it came out had a theatrical release and then was collected in a DVD/Blu-Ray season/series box set: 2199, 2202, 2205... And all kinds of swag given out, too, at the theaters, for people who reserved online in advance, etc.
For all that, over here, we're all "This thing is a part of our cultural heritage -- it can never be redone!", they've maintained more of an attitude of "This thing is a part of our cultural heritage -- it's been a generation, how can we improve on it while respecting the spirit of the original?" Yamato, Gundam, Macross... They keep managing to reimagine these old properties in new, different, and, often, better ways, whereas we mostly seem to only be able to run ours (Star Trek, Star Wars, Transformers, etc.) into the ground. Over in Japan, Yamato, Gundam, and Macross stuff is still everywhere. When was the last time Star Trek merch was a hot prospect for store shelves? Even Star Wars is now more pegwarmers than desired products. You have to know what's coming and pre-order it from someplace if you want the merch you actually want.
I'd go see a full-season theatrical release of The Mandalorian. I saw the Clone Wars "movie" and it was an ex post facto agglomeration of multiple episodes covering two story arcs that they decided at the last minute to release theatrically. If it had been planned cinematically in the first place...
