Rex would have no reason to be on Tattooine, let alone deep in the Dune Sea, watching either this specific tribe of Sand People or the villagers of Freetown, or the guy(s) who currently had/have/has Boba Fett's armor.

Plus from a storytelling standpoint it just would be really bad. Every bit of connective tissue in the episode points to Boba Fett: the location, the armor, Cobb Vanth, all of it. Having it turn out to be Rex or some other clone would be the worst kind of 'gotcha' swerve.

What I see is (at least) a 3-way conflict developing between Din, Boba and Gideon, who I assume we'll see next week. If Boba doesn't straight up recover his armor, steal the child and take it to Gideon, maybe with the help of Fennec Shand.

None of this precludes Rex appearing later somewhere else. Nothing says Morrison can only play one role...

Spoiler!

Also, why would Boba Fett stay on Tatooine for 5 years after the fall of the Empire? What kind of lame backstory would be created for him to stay on the same planet as Obi Wan, Luke & Anakin and the planet where Darth Maul died? Or are they going to bring him back to life, again, too? What makes that Outer Rim desert planet special? Are there only like 6 habitable planets in the Star Wars galaxy?

Again, that's just lazy and I've had enough lazy Star Wars to last me a lifetime. Blech.
