Perhaps the elongated backs of the heads are just parts of their helmets/headdresses, and the Kessel Pykes dressed a little more practically, given that they are running around in caves and stuff. Or perhaps there are different “races” of Pykes with varying physiologies, similar to how there are different races of Nikto?
I have to go with the majordomo, because of his smugness and overconfidence. The receptionist is a low-level sad sack just doing his job.
I was having a conversation with someone about the lizard trip Boba went on & figured I'd share my thoughts here as well...
I think that we're seeing a lot of parallels with more than one interpretation.
His birth was on a world of water, & his rebirth on a world devoid of water. That's why in the lizard trip, the landscape changes from dunes to waves.
Both his births were technically 'unnatural', with his first being a result of cloning, & the second an almost impossible escape. I liked how that transitioned in the trip as well.
Then finally, the way he saw himself out of the armor & clad in it, with both images phasing in & out. Like he's trying to determine who he really is. Is it the man in the armor, or the armor on the man that makes Boba Fett?
I think he's struggling because his father was a bounty hunter that pledged his allegiance to whoever paid him. Jango had no real quarrel with Mace, but his employers did, & when Jango acted on their behalf, he died. Then you have Boba, trying to live up to his father's image, & what happens? He had no personal quarrel with Luke, but Jabba did, & when Boba acted in his behalf, he nearly lost his own life. That's making him rethink his choices & I believe the show is going to show him deciding who he is on his own terms.

I like the concept of a non Jedi approach to the Force. The Force connects all living things, there’s no reason the Jedi should be the only path to it. It is a religion just like any other, it just happens to manifest itself in physical acts. The Night Sisters, the Children of the Empty Sun, the Guardians of the Whills, all of them revere the Force in their own way and that’s interesting to me. The Tuskens having their own understanding of the Force makes a lot of sense.
Great point about the other groups.

Regarding the usage of daimyo by Fett and the Hutts, I think that some of you are overthinking it. While it's true that a daimyo historically answered to a Shogun, a daimyo was typically a powerful figure in their own right and not a mere lackey. The typical daimyo was the leader of their clan and ruled a decent amount of territory. To me, this fits Fett's role as the successor to Jabba quite well. All of the various other lower crime bosses and businesses are a part of Fett's clan and Tattooine is his clan's territory. The Shogun would be the Hutt council, or whoever heads up the overall Hutt cartel.
Another thing to keep in mind is that at no time (that I can recall) was Boba Fett ever referred to as simply the daimyo of Mos Espa, he was always referred to as the daimyo of Tattooine. To me, this suggests that he's the de facto ruler of Tattooine, or at least THE crime lord of all of Tattooine. This, once again, fits really well with the historical daimyo who controlled way more than just a few square miles of land or even just one city or village but entire provinces or at least large parts of entire provinces. But here, instead of provinces, we have planets.

“I don’t care what your tablet says. This is Mos Espa, and I am daimyo here.”
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it seemed like a very limited assertion of claim. To your point, why not “This is Tatooine….”?
I remember how hard that was to get to work on my computer.. download this plug In download direct X7.. all sorts of crap lol

Not to split hairs...i see this as an interesting possibility. I'm ok with a non Jedi approach. The Jedi never said they were the only path...There is the Lightside of the force and the Darkside of the force. I just worry that we would throw the baby out with the bathwater...like a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is Not a square. Everyone doesn't get participation trophies and gets to decide what is good and what is evil. If you take the Light and Dark side element out of the equation you undercut everything that has happened and eliminated your own foundation that you are claiming to stand on. Sure...any group can have an "understanding" of the force but do they have a strong "connection" to it and in what way are they connected? Light or Dark? I know "of" (a particular person) but do i actually "know" them personaly and experience communication and relationship...the answer to that defines the separation as well as "how" you are using that relationship(giving or selfishly).
So good Point that anyone "Can" have that connection but the question is "do" they?
(even if they don't the force is still directing them whether they have that connection or not)
case in point: Mando...Luke and Ahsoka told him"May the force be with you" obviously implying the lightside, for his connection to the welfare of Grogu(Mando gave of himself to him) Luke and Ahsoka would never tell him "may the darkside be with you...continue on your selfish path. Obi-wan might say, "You must do what you feel is right, of course" because sensing the pull of the force to the GOOD. Mando certainly isn't a Jedi and the universe is Huge so everything doesn't have to include the Jedi but my only worry is that we then start looking at anything Jedi being a Bad thing.
again, not trying to split hairs, create a war or make mountain out of a mole hill just feel there is a lot of "Let the past die, kill it if you must" mentality out there...No one would say, after living in a house with a solid foundation , " hey ...let's remove the foundation" and not see the whole house collapse on top of them.
The idea here i'm getting from the lizard is that the force is "living" . Obi-Wan said The Force is what GIVES a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by ALL living things. It surrounds us and PENETRATES us. it BINDS the galaxy together.(like you said)
Wouldn't it be cool if Boba found some teachings of the Jedi in Ben's Hutt that gave him a better understanding of them? If we are going to go with a narrative of understanding the Tuskens, why can't Boba come to an understanding about them? Maybe it would help resolve his past with Mace and Jango, seeing that he (a Bounty Hunter or former, sits in the middle of The Empire and the Rebel...The Jedi and the Sith) he's seen it all.

Bestine and Anchorhead come to mind. In the EU, Bestine was the capital of Tatooine although I no longer know if that’s true in the new canon. To me the city they depict in the show would’ve made a nice Bestine. Lol

I love Tatooinne...so much Star Wars foundation there...I can't help thinking we will see Luke Skywalkers deleted scene cave at some point(i'm biased...HHHUUUGEEE Luke Skywalker fan)
If you're going to copy, may as well copy the best. I thought all the Tusken stuff had a heavy Lawrence feel to it.
Or Boba's... Can't wait for the re imagined Sprinkler scene with Boba out of shot Holding an Umbrella
