I suppose there’s a chance he hasn’t been on Tatooine all this time. Maybe he’s got a ship (his old one or something new). But, again, whether he’s mobile or not, he’s had 30+ years to re-acquire his armor and re-establish himself.

So why hasn’t he? There’s definitely a story there.

Maybe, post-Empire, he found it easier to go by another name/occupation and he returns to Tatooine on occasion to check things out? Maybe someone in that town is in touch with him and contacted him when they saw Mando ride into town?

“Hey, there’s a dude here - he just showed up - and he’s dressed the way you used to. The way our marshal does now. Same kind of helmet and all. You might wanna come check it out? Maybe you know him?”

Still doesn’t erase the fact that he’s carrying sand people gear/weaponry, which makes me believe he’s stayed there - the planet of his defeat/shame - for 30+ years.

Peaceful, past-renouncing hermit? Or one self-loathing head-case? A bit of both?
