Topic: Boba Fett's top-of-boot / knee armor in "The Mandalorian"

For some reason like the face "The Mandalorian" (Season 2) Boba Fett wears those robes, what used to be knee armor was moved to the top of his boot. This can be seen clearly in the show plus other behind-the-scenes imagery.

Anyone a fan of it being moved down? Do we think it was purely to be more visible given the robed look?

I understand they've done it that way so the knee armor could be more visible, but we clearly know that's not its main function.  The knee armor must protect his knees, right? Anyway it's not something that bothers me, but I'm glad in the poster of the series they are in the right place :'D

Excellent point, Maryfett99! They are more traditionally placed in the new poster, thank goodness:
