Shades of grey have nothing to do with non-relevant stories being shoehorned into another. Grogu’s story is tied to Mando’s, not Boba’s.
I enjoy the puppet Grogu, it's old school and it's as good as it needs to be.
While I'll admit the CGI Yoda and CGI Jabba 'look better' and look more realistic what has always bugged me is that they didn't use the puppets as motion templates, especially with the mouths. Both Yoda and Jabba puppets had open/close mouths but the CGI versions have fully articulated lips.
I think if both the CGI Yoda and Jabba had simple open/close mouths they would have instantly 'looked' more like the original puppets.

To be fair, I want all the of the baby. I'm "I would like to see the baby" every day....but Boba needs to kick some serious ass on his own.
If Luke does a drop off, I'd be super let down. Mando can go get him. There's more rumors that the finale's cameos will "melt faces off". (Try me..) So it better be some more bounty hunters. I'm so over jedi right now.
I'd take double Tem and have Rex or Echo or whomever show up at this point. Go for it. But Boba needs the center stage. Ride the Rancor, break some skulls with the gaffi stick again. Bane-Boba show down. Let's go.

Ehhhh, you’re putting words in my mouth. The Joker and Riddler are at least tied to Batman in a direct way. They are foils for him. I wouldn’t want a Batman series where they instead go off on a random tangent about Alfred buying a new feather duster or learning a better tecnique to shining the silver.

Oh, you guys needn't worry.
She's right here with me.
Sorry guys, she's a goner. Jennifer all but confirmed it:
‘Book of Boba Fett’: Jennifer Beals Talks Character Suggestions She Made and That Penultimate Episode Moment
The actress says appearing in multiple episodes of the Disney+ series was a dream come true, as the first film had a profound impact on her life.

She better not come out with robotic Lekku or this desk I'm currently typing on, will be flipped over.

Yeah, I totally forgot about the hour and a half long scene in Batman ‘89 where Tim Burton showed us what Jim Carrey’s Riddler was up to before becoming the Riddler before finally circling back around to the confrontation with the Joker…

Also, where is this “have your cake and eat it too” coming from in reference to people rightfully criticizing the weak writing of Luke in addition to the lackluster AI voice? I’ve personally never said “man I hope we get Luke again someday” only to “complain” about it once it happened. I’m not unrealistic—I know it’s impossible to ever have Luke again for so many reasons—as close as they can get to looking like Luke, he still is missing Mark’s performance and the much simpler times of the OT, back before all these passionless Jedi who sit around doing nothing and before all of the baggage the franchise has.

Since Grogu is indeed a child should he be given a choice at all? Young children aren't exactly known for their keen sense of life experience and abilities to make good decisions lol. The fact that he is presented with this choice that will impact his life so completely is a bit crazy. It's not like he's deciding whether to go to space camp or band camp for the summer. Talking to him about it and trying to understand his feelings is a smart move though. The problem is he may be too young to even understand his own feelings or have the emotional intelligence to be able to communicate them.
Put him on a path, show him how to commit to it, to never to give up, why what he's doing is important, show him your love for it and he will learn and follow the path you set him on.Then when he's old enough/mature enough to make these kind of decisions give him the choice and respect his decision. If his heart isn't in it, then let him go.

HMSwolfe i think the whole “more Luke = good” situation arises from a very vocal group that feel because TLJ Luke wasn’t “right” that we need more of this Luke because Favreau and Filoni “get it”. The idea being that any Luke appearance after ROTJ will be better than TLJ so of course we want him.

Yeah he's little, but he's also been around for 50 years and an earlier chunk of that was with some very prominent jedi. Luke even said he isn't teaching him, Grogu is remembering.
I think he's in there, he has severe PTSD and has repressed everything. Ahsoka said he hid his own abilities to protect himself. Only when Mando was in danger with the Mudhorn, did he show he could use the force. I don't think anyone wiped his mind, he did it himself. His species is powerful and he was picked to be the Yoda species for a reason.
He's more than meets the eye, for sure.

We’ll see! I want you to be right!
However, for the show’s purposes, all we needed was Mando showing up at the palace or Boba/Fennec meeting him at the spaceport, him saying “I got your message…etc etc” and then we go from there. That’s literally all that was needed, to keep things tight and still focused on Fett. Show Mando and Fett working together to plan, prepare, etc.
As of right now, almost everything else outside of Tatooine they’ve shown has been superflous and meandering in regards *this show*, unless we do get some random circumstance where Grogu shows up and uses his newfound training to save the day. If that happens, I’d say the argument for including Grogu’s training in *this show* is more justified. Frankly, I’d rather see them go full circle and have the Tuskens save the day if there’s gonna be any day saving. Lol

You did indeed. I hit post before I was done writing. I was agreeing with you and expanding on what you said. My apologies.

Grogu's first words surely will be in French.
