Din Jarin and Grogu arrive on Tython. They aren’t alone. A familiar ships soon arrives with a fan favorite character. The Empire soon follows.
Just as it appears that Din Jarin has reached the final step of his quest to return Grogu to the Jedi, chaos erupts. Boba Fett arrives in Slave I and demands the return of his armor. He also has backup in the form of an assassin previously thought dead. Before that issue can even be resolved, the Empire arrives and attacks.
