My brother and I just watched the first episode of BOBF. And now I dare to open this new topic. Shall we make this a spoiler thread?

YES!! Thank you for taking the dare.
What made it most enjoyable?? No omega character.
This was a very enjoyable episode 1.
I liked the back story, however a more in-depth depiction of his escape from the sarlac pit
would have added a stronger closure to that aspect of Boba Fetts mystique.
The sand people chapter of the story demonstrates Boba's strength, endurance and intellect as well as the cold ruthlessness of the Tusken Raiders.
The sand monster was interesting. Looked like a cross between a minotaur, a reek and something from Harry Potter.
Do you think that Boba killing the monster by choking it with the chain was meant to be a tribute to Princess Leia?
The Gamorrean guards were an unexpected addition to the story.
Where the next 6 episodes of this series go will be exciting to watch.
I'm looking forward to next weeks episode.

I have been reading reviews of The Book of Boba Fett and----HOLY S--T they are not good at all.
I would say that at least 90% of what I have read is highly critical of EVERYTHING about the first episode.
Boba himself, Fennic, the sand monster, the escape from the sarlac pit, the cantina, the Tusken Raiders and everything else. Including Favreau. He is being attacked from every angle possible.
-
Honestly, I wondered about the reviews and agree some of what I have read has not been favorable. Frankly, I don't know what more you would have wanted for the first episode of this? I think people are so caught up in "trolling" they don't know how to be even remotely objective anymore.
I agree we will discuss spoilers here. I mean folks need to be ready for that.
As for the first episode, I loved seeing his flashbacks while he was in the bacta tank. Once again, I don't think we could have asked for a better backstory of how he got out of the pit and into the Tuskens tender loving care.
I also liked seeing how he is going to try and be the new criminal underboss ot Tatooine and do it with respect and how it is so far leading to nothing but trouble. I look for this to get a bit more violent before it gets better, which is great for the show.
I swear the only thing I can say bad is I wanted the episode to be about four hours longer, but that is to be expected. It is so awesome seeing Jon Faveraux's name come up after the episode and know it is gonna be good.
I think the Mandalorian is gonna have competition! I wish they would just put the rest of the movies in his hands and forget about it.
So yes I really enjoyed it. Plan on going back and watching it again today to see the easter eggs I no doubt missed when watching it the first time. I cannot wait to see what more trouble he gets into and blasts his way out of next week. Surely we are gonna see the Slave I in a fight or three as well!
Bravo Jon!

I liked it, even though I'm not especially a fan of Boba Fett. I agree with Tamer my only complaint is, it was short. They had some cool western and samurai movie motifs, and strangely enough The 10 Commandments. The title is a reference to the movie and Exodus 2:22 where moses says I was a stranger in a strange land. I like the parallels between being a stanger in the sandpeople's land and being a stanger in mos espa as a diamyo. In both cases he has to prove himself, to gain respect and acceptance.
I probably watchrd it 4 or 5 times waiting for the stupid refrigerator that never came.

I liked it. I don't know why there's so much negative reviews about it. Sure it's not perfect but nothing is. I think there's just a lot of people with their own high expectations for Boba Fett and "how it should be."
I love Robert Rodriguez and thought the first episode was pretty awesome! Can definitely tell it's in his style with the music and subtle humour.
The only things I didn't like was they used a Japanese feudal term "Daimyo" for Star Wars which almost means the same thing in the show's context? Small nuance, not that important.
I do find Boba Fett is slightly too benevolent and kind for his character though.
Still excited to see where this goes! Those new black robed Tuskens are the coolest thing in the show so far.

Diamyo during feudal Japan, basically meant warlord or clan leader. Japan was fractured into different states run by a clan leader, after the shogunate lost power.
I think something similar is happening on Tatooine, after Jabbas death the power vacuum gave rise to many different criminal syndicates, with a diamyo being the leader of a sydicate, as opposed to all the syndicates. Boba Fett's territory must be exclusive to mos espa. I think the Trandoshan wanted to tell Fett to stay in his place within mos espa lest he be killed. Or he was saying boba fett would die there. Even boba fett was unsure of his meaning.

I was trying to be as spoiler exempt as possible with my first post and since that has gone to hell in a handbasket let's keep going.
Episode 1 was really, really, good. I have questions and wish there had beens but they don't take away from the show.
Tamer and many others hit the nail on the head with this episode needed to be waaaayyyy longer. At least an hour. And his escape from the sarlaac lacked in details. Ignite the jet pack and blast your ass out of there!!
The flashbacks are a nice touch. Too bad we didn't get to see Jango's head laying on the ground when young Boba picks up his helmet.
Sooo, are we supposed to think that since Jabba has bitten the dust, yes pun intended, there is now a planet wide power struggle for control of his underworld crime syndicate?
I find this belief to be farfetched. The Hutts are notoriously known for swooping in and immediately taking over the operations of another Hutt that has passed on and would not allow non Hutt's to take control of Jabbas crime organization.
Regarding the costuming of the characters-Boba's new "outfit" is exactly what I expected.
Familiar enough to maintain the original design yet nuanced enough to contain updated gadgets.
Boba did show his benevolent side when he let the kid take all the credit for killing and beheading the sand monster.
I'll end with this. Can someone tell me about the gourds that are buried in the desert?
What are they? How did they get buried in the sand? How do the sandpeople know where the gourds are buried? How do the gourds keep the water fresh and from evaporating while buried in the sand?
-
When Jabba died the Hutt clan lost a lot of power, and territory. That's why bib fortuna took his place. Of course bib fortuna was an idiot and probably let his gang lose power to the other surrounding syndicates. Jabba's palace was pretty empty when boba took over. In the episode, the scene where the moisture farm was being raided, that was the Red Key Raiders, referenced in the Mandalorian.
As for bobas's benevolence, i mean he's the main character, he has to be somewhat of a "good guy". I think escaping from the Sarlacc and having his armor stripped off was symbolic of a rebirth. He's no longer the heartless bounty hunter he once was. Becoming a slave to the sandpeople was certainly humbling.
I think those sand pods were some kind of a fruit that grows in the sand. Like a sand cucumber.
-
That's a good point JDeck - His time with the Tuskens will probably show how he developed into the Boba we see now as opposed to the cold old OTC Boba.
That is my bad, sorry.When Jabba died the Hutt clan lost a lot of power, and territory. That's why bib fortuna took his place.

Lots of good thoughts here.
I love the respect motto he is going with, but we are gonna see an episode where don't misinterpret that with weakness. Its gonna happen.
I can see the Hutts showing up at some point too. That will be fun to have a new Hutt.
I have a feeling we are also gonna see some of the Mandalorian folks show up a bit here and there to keep the idea of a crossover happening between all the new shows popping up.
I also think we will see further Tusken relationship episodes. It wouldn't suprise me if Boba is now the Mandalore of the Tuskens and he has a standing army ready to roll should a droid army or some mercanary force show up.
Anyone like me waiting for a vehicle battle to take place? I wonder what ground ride Boba is gonna have now (speeder or bike or some such thing).
Any when are we gonna see the Slave I in a space fight!
-
The more I read the reviews on other sites, especially rebel scum, I am amazed at how this 1st episode is being ripped to shreds.
It's the last jedi all over again.
-
I think people in the US are just depressed and angry all the time now and it is coming out of them with whatever.
I don't get it. I think its awesome. I am not ready to say its better than the Mandalorian yet, but man it has the potential!
-
I get some of the griping. I was left wanting more, that's good in a sense. My biggest gripe about the Mandalorian was how slow, and dragged out it was. I get that. I had a YouTube suggestion, "Beta Fett" or whatever, of course the same old same about how Disney is going bankrupt. Boba fett is old, the way he lived his life, he's lucky to have lived that long. I was happy in the belief he died in the sarlacc. I'm 35 and I wish I had a bacta tank to sleep in. Pretty much every bone in my body hurts. That's another reason why he chooses to be more cerebral, and thinks before fighting. When you're young, you fight first, think last, but as you get older, you learn. I like that he has weaknesses, it makes him human. The people who say he's underpowerded are probably the same people who say Rey is a MarySue.
One thing about bounty hunting is, the mark is not a person, it's a product. If the hunter thinks of a bounty as a person, they fail. When Boba is faced with people who aren't bounties, he may have a different view. Like the Tusken Kid, he could have seen himself in him. Boba had a very difficult upbringing. Like this kid could have living up to the pressures of being a future leader. Of course by the time he could have bashed the kid's brains in, the other more formidable tuskens would have caught up with him. So it was better for him to run than to kill that kid. After getting his butt kickef by the older tusken, he took the subordinate job of being a slave to the Tusken kid. To be a leader, you have to know how it is to take commands. That was a learning experience for him. If you were to tell me that a bounty hunter could lead a criminal empire I would question that. Bounty hunters are followers, or independent contractors at best. Boba needed some leadership skills to become a true leader. Bib Fortuna was a follower, who was immediately put into the leader position. Under his leadership, the once great jabba empire was, reduced to a few Gamorean guards and the territory constrained to Mos Espa, a small fraction of Jabba's empire. Not even all of Tatooine, a planet with no resources and being in the outer of the outer rim, no real logistical significance. This is what Boba Fett inherited, so, he's basically working from the ground up, potentially restoring the Jabba Empire under his name.
-
Oh yeah, the idea is to leave us wanting more. I watched it again last night. I saw even more things. Man, that bacta room and the new palace room is gonna be fantastic for dios and dio pieces.
Trust me, I don't look for Boba Fett to be complacent for too much longer.
-
I agree Tamer. The Fett is gonna wake up one day and and say f--k this respect baloney. Time to show everyone who's boss around here.
Plus the other syndicates, crime lords and no good wannabe's are going to view BF's respect philosophy as a sign of major weakness go after his operations.
-
I don't really understand the hate. I don't have issue with this show. I've enjoyed the first episode so far. And I really like the bacta-tank flashbacks. That was a cool concept. ()rr
-
Surely they knew we would want to know how he got out of the Sarlaac Pit. At least a little bit. And that was what we got.
I have been trying to stay off most places and not read those types of things about this show. I like it. It feels like it has been forever since we had new Star Wars.
I can't wait to see how it goes this week.
-
I added the schedule for all upcoming episodes of Season 1 to the (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=10987.msg227600#msg227600)start of this topic.
(https://i.imgur.com/VLYdJSw.jpg)
I watched the first episode three times so far and still got mixed feelings about it. I agree with previous comments. And I'm glad we saw not only what happened down there in the Pit, but also how he lost his armor shortly after. It was also nice to see the wreck of the Khetanna, again.
I'm just glad they didn't blow up the Razor Crest...oh wait, will everything that blows up in Star Wars become a HasLab? Then I have high hopes for a Death Star or two and even a Super Star Destroyer... ;)
I try not to be too harsh, so I'll just wait what the second episode brings us.
Here are a few things that bugged me:
- the Sarlacc escape was a little shot for my taste. I'd have liked to see the actual way he found out there. If he flew out like shown in the comics, it would be reasonable to me. But digging through some tons of sand above him doesn't look so realistic to me. I know, one cannot please all.
To me the beginning and capture sequence felt like the mummy returned.
- don't know why Boba is the nice guy now. Doesn't fit with his character of The Clone Wars and what Jango taught him. But in and after Return of the Jedi he could be anything. So if that's the way they chose for his character development, I'm fine with that. At least there is development. I also like the theme of Ruling with Respect!
- that representative of Mos Espa's Mayor is one odd ball. I mean come on. You'll never find more scum and villainy than on Tatooine, right? Isn't that what Ben told Luke about Mos Eisley?
I mean come on, we're not on Naboo! So that Twi'lek dude doesn't seem believable to me. And I'm not even comparing him to Bib Fortuna.
- speaking of Bib. Why are there so many survivors? Guess that's character recycling at its best. And if people survived the Titanic, the Emperor certainly survived the explosion of Death Star II. I mean...nobody is ever really gone, right Di$ney? To me this is just a lack of creativity. But hey, Max Rebo is still there playing a remix of his old songs.
- I don't like some of the costumes they chose. Many characters just don't fit in. And I mean that chase across the roofs. Don't know why the first episode is so afraid of guns. If that was Jon's try for a different approach than The Mandalorian, then more power to him!
Don't know if I like the product placement of Boston Dynamics. I think their robot dogs don't fit in the Star Wars universe. It sure is a nice feature of an American company and world leading one in the world as well. You can still have one of those robots for about $74,000.
(https://i.imgur.com/c5WoZ5k.png)
- That monster at the end reminded me of a Sci-Fi monster from a 60's TV show. Heck, it could've been stolen straight from STAR TREK! I don't like the design even though I'm not sure if there was one of those in the Miniatures TCG by Wizards of the Coast. Tried to find it in rebelscum's photo archive
(http://rebelscum.com/swminis.asp).
I also had my issues with the Krayt Dragon in the Mandalorian. They looked way different in Knights of the Old Republic. And there they actually look like a dragon. They could've just given the monster in Mando a different name like...sand worm, you know similar to the one worm in the Asteroid in TESB?
- To me the plot of the first episode was just meh. I also didn't like how it was structured. And I'm not talking about the flashbacks which were actually pretty cool!
Pros:
+ I love Temuera Morrison!
+ It's great to see Boba and Fennec team up. I think they're a good team.
+ We are back on Tatooine.
+ The two Gammy Guards were a nice detail. To me it felt like in Knights of the Old Republic when Boba had 3 companions to go to town with.
+ The flashbacks were nice. I think it's believable that Boba has to recover after all he had gone through.

My score:
2/10
-
I think this was a teaser episode to just get us hooked and a lot of what folks are questioning will come out. I know they left me wanting more!
-
I feel your “meh”, More
I guess I wanted this one to blow me away like the first episode of the Mandalorian did but I didn’t walk away feeling like that. I figured with all its popularity, this series would get an extra helping of that Star Wars polish In Every scene but I still get a generic feeling every odd bystander or two.
Miss seeing the razor crest flying around, I was pretty impressed with how the space and atmospheric flight scenes looked in the Mandalorian series. Ready for some slave one action and I am looking forward to seeing what comes next, what new flashback to bobas past will we see first?
-
I'm waiting for my brother to wake up this morning. We're still hopeful that the second episode will be more to our liking and want to give this show a chance. If not it's okay as well.
Here in Germany the second episode wasn't available on Disney+ at 12:15 am. But now at 10 am it is.
I used the time to keep looking for that creature with 6 limbs. Avatar comes to mind, but it actually looks like a Gundark, right? Maybe it's supposed to be one and Wizard of the Coast released it as part of the Champions of the Force line of the Miniatures:

Which original trilogy character do you think we will see first? Han?
-
Haha, I wish it was Han...but I doubt that the budget for the entire series is big enough to pay what Mr Ford claims. But you can look forward to seeing two characters of ANH that were also a Con exclusive in one of Hasbro's Comic Packs. That was pretty sweet.
So I just finished the second episode and I liked it. I liked it a lot!
9/10

This was a great episode. Learning Fett's history with the Tusken's adds an element for both BF and the TR's that I don't think we would have ever considered.
Snorting lizards?? Holy brainwash Batman. Plus when it came out I thought it would a lot slimier having traveled twice through the Fett sinuses and nasal passages.
We actually learned a lot regarding the rites of passage for members of a Tusken clan. Gaffi stick making, proving oneself worthy of advancing to the next level of Tusken manhood and the complexities of Tusken society.
We also learned that the control systems for a futuristic train are unbelievably more complex than the engines of todays trains.
Am I correct in stating that today's highly trained ninjas are braver and more courageous than the futuristic ninja weenies?
Lastly, my take on a future episode or episodes.
I believe the Tusken history was important for 2 reasons.
1. Provides the background of BF's life between escaping the Sarlaac and taking over Jabba's operation.
2. Somewhere in this series, at some point there is going to be a reckoning between Boba and the Hutt's, the other syndicates an outside force or a combination of some or all. At this point BF will need allies and I think we will see the Tusken Raiders show up in mass to fight on the side of Fett.

WHAT AN EPISODE! This was a great episode. 9/10. As where I'd rank the first at 6.5/10.
Tuskens strong together. 0//
I don't know if anyone else picked up on who the twins had guarding them... but I did immediately.
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Krrsantan
I think with Boba and the Tuskens his working/living with them is the first time he's had a familial relationship since his father Jango was killed. And I think this episode really illustrated that very well.

Really like how this series and the Mandalorian explore other alien cultures and who our main character integrating with different societies.
Also first time seeing the Pykes unmasked is cool! Love how the revelations in this episode put the suspicious dialogue between Fett, the majordomo and Garsa Fwip into a different light.
When they first said twins, I thought it was going to be the Tonnika sisters lol
-
I also immediately thought about the sisters when I heard that.
Good episode! The Tuskin storyline sure flourished. Pretty intense stuff but it all looked pretty good.
Present day Boba is going to have to earn respect to rule with respect. Running off the twins may get him a bit but it’s going to take a bigger play than that to impress this hive of scum and villainy.
Nice seeing the Hutts roll in on their litter. CGI looks pretty good on them. Those two will send trouble for Boba in the future.
Could be a bounty hunter we had seen from the OT, Shawn. Lots of trandosians in that one seen. Bossk or perhaps Dengar?
-
I like the fact that we get to see two different timelines in this series. The second episode gave me some SOLO vibes as well. It was nice to see some alien designs from SOLO, again.
The hint at several Comics is just fantastic to me! I knew I had seen that Wookie before, but didn't recognize him as Krrsantan of the Doctor Aphra Comics right away. So thank you RC-1136 for the reminder! This felt like Knights of the Old Republic right from the beginning! It's nice to see the Hutts from The Clone Wars.
I think my favorite moment was the confrontation with the Mayor. Ithorians are always welcome and I really like the costume design and the fact that he communicates with a device on his head. That makes a protocol droid pretty obsolete. And even his Twi'lek Ambassador is not necessary. He reminds me a little of Jar Jar Binks. The series would be better off without him and his attitude.
I also like to see more of how the daily life in Star Wars is pictures. There are some new scenes that give much inspiration for my Mos Eisley Diorama (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=3139.msg55948#msg55948). I really need to make some more furniture, soon.
The buildings of Mos Espa are pictured in better condition than those of Mos Eisley - at least in my eyes. Tatooine looks so civilized now...or is it just Disney bringing a New Order?
Camie and Fixer were my biggest surprise and their names are confirmed in the end credits. However if I remember correctly, Camie calls her husband Camie...did they really mix up their names again like they did with Kir Kanos and Canor Jax?
The sequence of the past was great to watch this time! I like how Boba kicked ass at Tosche Station (I think it was, right?).
I think if I didn't know the Mandalorian already, I wouldn't be so critical about the first episode. The Mandalorian set a high standard to which I compared The Book of Boba Fett at the beginning.
-

I think this is it right here. We are trying to compare it so much and getting our feelings hurt a bit.
Still, I agree this episode was another winner. From the Ithorian to the Hutts it was great, but seeing the whole "Dances with Wolves" vibe I am getting from his time with the Tuskens I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
I so think you are right Ron when it comes to the Tuskens. I think some way someone tries to corner Fett with an army and kind of like that scene in "Quigley Down Under" where the Aborigines showed up we are gonna see the Tuskens show up en masse (they number like the Fremen) and just wholly kick tail. This is definitely a cowboys and indians scenario just like George did in the OT and I love it!
Now, anyone else feeling the sparks between Fett and that Gal Tusken Warrior? I am perhaps reading too much coming in, but are we gonna get to see a Tusken wedding? I also want to see and hear more about that great tree everyone has to go to to get their gaffi stick supplies. I enjoyed that process a lot. Anyone else besides me want to see a cannon get mounted to a bantha?
And we are gonna get some series crossover eventually too. I am really liking this folks. I really am.
Now, my one gripe and it was my daughter who helped me nail it down. Its the music score, is it just me or are they just doing a cheaper imitation of the music from the Mandalorian? I mean it ain't horrible, but I kind of expected Book of Boba to get its own original theme. I mean shouldn't we really only hear Mandalorian music when a Mandalorian character or Djin shows up?
Still, small potatoes compared to the overall show. I am so impatient. I am gonna hate waiting till next Wednesday. And the amount of new action figures they could make from just this episode! I mean Hasbro has got to be smiling ear to ear with each new episode.
-
Anyone else besides me want to see a cannon get mounted to a bantha?
Yes I would. What I want to see even more is the jet engine from the train strapped to a Bantha so we can watch the Bantha pass supersonic jet gas. ;D
-
LOL. Ron, you are hilarious, but I could so see the Tuskens mix new tech with old style traditional things.
Speaking of Tuskens, anyone think we are gonna get to see under their mask? Will Lucasfilm let him do it? I bet Disney would.
I mean wouldn't it be cool for Boba to "marry" his Tusken Warrior GF without ever seeing her face and wondering what he was getting himself into only for her to finally take her mask off and she be the smoking hot girl she is in real life (check out our FB Page if you want to see what the stunt gal looks like).?
I am also feeling a bit of a Man called Horse with this new series. Anyone old enough to remember that movie? I am really aging myself here.
-
I was just thinking the other day, that's all they need is a tusken love interest to make the Dances with Wolves and Last Samurai storyline complete. I didn't know that warrior was a woman until yesterday. I just figured he was a skinny dude. If they do that i dunno. Lol. It would be funny.
I heard rumors of han solo showing up somehow, of course hed be a digital han like luke was in mando. I don't concider it a credible source tho. Maybe. I'm under the impression that this story will involve a rancor. Based on some leaked concept art, but that could be fake too. I dunno. We'll see.

I could so see him and Fennec looking down in there and saying we need a new Rancor! Wouldn't it be cool to see an episode where they go track one down! I could so see that happening and I think everyone would sign off on it just for the merchandizing potential.
-
Speaking of Fennec. It will be interesting to see her story arc too. I bet after they finish up with Boba's Flashbacks we start getting some of hers.

Evidently the Rancor in the bad batch isn't the one seen in ROTJ. So i assumed it would be Mucci, but in the last episode the Rancor pit was empty. It would be ironic if there was a Rancor, seeing the haslab one failed. The concept drawing and description sounded pretty badass. I hope it's true.
Fennec Shand's story will probably be told in Bad Batch season 2.
-
The capture of a new Rancor would be fascinating to see but wouldn't a new Roxie in the pit go against Boba's philosophy of ruling by respect and not by fear?
We definitely need the Fennec back story. Bringing it to life in the next bad batch series would be perfect for three reasons.
1. Some of the B.B. specialized enhanced training could coincide with Fennec's backstory.
2. Her added skills would enhance the tenacity and Spec Ops skills the B.B. already possess
if she were to work with the B.B. for an episode or two.
3. She would show the B.B. that to be successful they need to return to their status pre omega and being babysitting p-----s will not help the get the girls.
But I digress. BRING ON EPISODE 3. Having to wait a week for new episodes is pure torture.
-
I forgot about how involved she was in the BB. I could wait for that. I guess. I would still like to see her story from where Boba rescues her and some of their early travels.
I hear you. I hate waiting for the new episode.
-
I mean wouldn't it be cool for Boba to "marry" his Tusken Warrior GF without ever seeing her face and wondering what he was getting himself into only for her to finally take her mask off and she be the smoking hot girl she is in real life (check out our FB Page if you want to see what the stunt gal looks like).?
An interesting idea Tamer. As long as it's not revealed to be hillary clinton.
Good news. Confirmed to NOT be Hillary Clinton. She's fairly attractive..for a tusken beneath the mask.

Sounds like my kinda woman. ;D

Joanna Bennett is a beauty, indeed. Is the secret about the Tusken going to be lifted? I don't feel any romance between Boba and the Tusken woman, but if there's something like that, I don't mind. Do whatever, but I had to laugh really hard about that tribal tattoos and extreme piercings, Clint! :D ;D

Now, that would be cool! It's great that there's some excitement again because anything is possible to happen in this show. I mean even Hilary could get a cameo...
-
Well this topic is going interesting places. Piercings and tatoos! LOL times a thousand.
Still, I definitely felt a few sparks coming from Fett and the Tusken. It could just be comraderie and warrior respect, but relationships have started out in crazier circumstances right?
It would be interesting to see Boba persue a romance arc. I mean who would have thunk it right?

Jango had a lot of women. But Boba is even more of a ladies man in the EU. So this is very possible. And her man appears to be dead now, based on the last episode...
-
I think she's dead too. He threw 3 gaffi sticks in the fire including tiny Tim's crutch. Personally I'm glad we're done with the Tusken story. It's like baby yoda, it's cool but it was getting old. I like the pykes, yeah they don't look like the pykes in tcw, but it goes along with the look of quay tolsite in solo. I need more pyke figures in 3.75. I'm glad to see the rancor rumor confirmed. Seeing boba fett on the throne and in various scenes really does remind me of a diamyo in samurai movies. Even the way he rules seems wise. The vespa chase was the most cliche chase ever. It was good though.
-
I am not convinced she is dead yet. She probably fled to a different tribe. I have a feeling we have more Tuskens incoming. I have a feeling Fett is gonna mobilize them against the Pikes.
And we get our Rancor! It was cool seeing Johnny Trejo as the new Rancor Keeper. I can't wait to see Boba riding this bad boy like the witches of Dathomir! Great stuff.
It will be interesting to see who is behind all these incursions with the mayor.
Not sure about the young toughs yet, but liked their bikes.
And we are gonna get our Wookie Gladiator back at some point too.
Anyone else like me rewatching and rewatching just to see all the neat environmental stuff with each scene. I mean its a diorama heaven!
-
A common theme in boba Fett's life is that he's searching for a family, but they keep getting killed. His father died at a young age, he got in a bounty hunting crew, who sort of abandoned him. Then he joined jabba's denizens, that didn't work. That's why he liked the Tuskens so much they were a big family. The chieftain dad and the big sis/mom warrior and the little brother tusken kid.
The rancor is a lot like boba. Bred for fighting but he's sad and lonely. That's why boba took right to him. The rancor keeper jonny trjo which is awesome to have him in star wars wanted the rancor for himself and to be the one the rancor sees forst, but he saw hiw much boba liked him and literally stepped aside.
Boba's sydicate is often refered to as a family. His method of growing his family is to show mercy with hopes in gaining an ally. I'm sure Krrrsantan will show up again.
-
My favorite part of the latest episode LOL
-
I don't think she's dead neither - Not sure if the chief was in that scene at the Tusken camp. Have to watch it again to check. I really liked those new Tuscan's and seeing Boba call on them against the Pykes would be a good finale!
Also, an armored Rancor that looks like a Basilisk would be so cool!

-
I am pretty sure the cheiftan is dead as I remember the necklace thing he wore when Boba came back from talking to the Pikes. I am guessing we are gonna see the Pikes as the main culprits in that hit btw.
I don't see Boba giving up on finding more Tuskens and eventually the gal warrior again. I know some folks are tired of the Tusken theme, but I am loving it.
-
This was a great episode. I'm still not a big fan of Boba's nicey nicey touchy feely brand of leadership but it allows for a lot of action in the story line.
But as I said a great episode. Boba is slowly aquiring allies and alliances. Not just the Tuscans but now a biker gang (which i think have connections that will appear in a later episode) but yet unseen and possibly unknown collaborators that will appear and bolster the battle capabilities of Fett in his time of need. If Krrsantan follows the Wookie philosophy of owing a life debt to someone that saves their life then will he bring in the members of the Bounty Hunters Guild to fight and protect Boba Fett? Could we see an army of enraged Wookies storming the enemies front lines when the inevitable Tatooine battle of the century occurs?
Will Boba Fett lead the charge of his allies and armies against his enemies riding on the shoulders of his Rancor?
Or better yet, will the "twins" visit Boba in his palace and be dropped through the floor and come face to face with the Rancor? That would be poetic justice don't you think?
I think this episode is the initial setup for what we will see in 2 or 3 weeks.
BRING ON NEXT WEDNESDAY!!!!!
-
Seeing some Hutts in the Rancor Pit would be awesome. Gotta wonder now if the HasLab Rancor have failed had Hasbro timed the release better? No doubt if Boba rides it we are gonna have to get a version of it.
Man, I am seeing a lot of hate for the cyberpunks biker gang and especially their bikes. I am guessing we all got used to the grungy sandy ROTJ speeder type bikes from the OT, but I could sure see a bunch of youngsters tricking out their bikes and keeping them clean. Now, would I go out and buy one of these if Hasbro made it? Probably not, but I think the infusion of new blood and stuff in general is good for Star Wars.
All of it ain't gonna be perfect, but just doing the same thing over and over again ain't the way either! Just my two cents and you know what that will buy you!
-
Your absolutely right Tamer. I am amazed at how much hate is being spewed toward this show.
The biker gang, their bikes, the Tuscans, the fact that Fett's helmet antennae is bent and Boba Fett himself.
Everything about this show is being treated as if its been created, produced and stars no nothing starwars bufoons.
Given the extreme amount of criticism we are hearing I have come up with what I think is the solution that will satisfy the hate mongers.
For all of the siskel and eberts out there that are offering nothing but constant criticisms, character condemnation and story line scorching there is a very simple solution to the obstacles you're encountering and the requirements you are demanding.
Get yourself hired by disney/Lucasfilm. Then you will have the opportunity to offer your sure fire award winning ideas, have them produced by the studio/company and you will then be content with the Star Wars product that is being aired on disney+.
Again, it's simple. Get yourself hired by disney.
-
That or if you really don't like it just stop watching it?
I mean why watch a show you just get ticked off about? Or is society in general becoming troll like?
-

Pretty much sums it up. I like this show. It's not perfect, no piece of cinema is. Even the OT (which OT purists throw around like the gospel) has plenty of continuity errors, editing mistakes, and weak plot points. "But the mysticism! Nothing needs an explanation!" - if you have to make your own head canon to make something make sense that's weak story telling. Be that the prequels, OT, or sequels. I'm just saying. But people really seem to make this argument that nothing needs an explanation or background (characters, events, etc). And I don't necessarily agree with that. I also think that the same camp looks at the OT with a very set of nostalgia glasses and refuses to acknowledge the issues that were in place at the time. There were also technological restrictions at the time the movies were made that limited the vision Lucas had (which is why 1-3 had to come out decades later once technology caught up).
At least with The Clone Wars we got to re-visit the prequels and fill the holes that episodes 1-3 did not have the time to tell given the grand scale of the story. And that show definitely made those movies more complete with that background. Re-watching those movies in conjunction with the animated series did make them stronger than on their own.
I guess what I'm saying here is this: don't knock down other fans, but at the same time acknowledge the issues each trilogy/spinoff has. None of them are perfect. I challenge people to do something that most society has forgotten to do: have friends with different opinions.
P.S. - let's face one more fact nobody is acknowledging: this show does not have a Grogu (aka baby yoda). Can we REALLY say The Mandalorian would have had as many subscriptions to Disney+ and stand on it's own without him? I'm going to say definitely not. I'd love to see viewership/statistics on episodes with less/no baby Yoda versus those with more and I'm going to bet those numbers back up my claim.
Most people would not have bought into it. I can't even tell you how many spontaneous "star wars fans" (who until this point had no skin in the game and did not care for anything else but this show) have come out purely just for this single character because "aww he so cute!" I'm not trying to gatekeep but by the same flip of the coin a lot of the ones I've spoken with have never watched any other piece of Star Wars cinema, read any of the books, or comics. I.e., they would have nothing to do with this franchise without baby yoda.
-
If you really want to see this show discussion go totally off the rails and become a bunch of personal vendettas check out the Rebel Scum website.
I contribute to both but my preferred go to site is hands down Imperial Shipyards.
The debates here never become personal destruction topics and the conversations are well thought out with respectful exchanges of ideas.
-
I can imagine what is going on in other places. Once again another reason we created this place. Still, I so agree with RC-1136 folks are allowed to have their opinion, but man there is a big difference between a critique and saying it has ruined Star Wars for you!
I also agree with the point about Baby Yoda. We have gotten to where we have to have the sweet little innocent character. I am sure Jon was encouraged to create something similar here and I am glad he didn't. Yet. You know they want characters like this so they can make millions on products. And it wouldn't surprise me if we see one introduced.
-
I saw an interesting thing on the interwebs. This song from some Swedish movie is a lot like the theme song for TBOBF. Evidently the songwriter is also Swedish.
They're identical.
-
Well we got to see how he got teamed up with Fennec in this episode and now we are gearing up for war. Man, loved seeing the Slave 1. Seeing it take out those Speeder Bikes was awesome.
I can't wait to see him take on the Pikes. My daughter showed me a new clip for next week's episode that had the Mandalorian in it too.
-
The Slave I hiest was awesome! I really thought that was well done...and I like how everything finally wrapped up. Now we are to current events and I want to see Boba take on the Pykes.

Come on Tamer. SHOW US THE CLIP!!!!!!

This show just gets better every week!!
How Boba teamed up with Fennec was awesome.
Can we now say: She's more machine than woman?
Boba showed us his negotiating talents. Skillful and masterful. He scared the living alien poodoo out of the syndicate bosses when they realized they were sitting on top of a Rancor.
The question now is will they continue to sit on the sidelines as they pledged or when the battle begins to turn away from Boba Fett will they rally together and swoop in to turn the tide of the battle?
Plus I still think Krssantan will play a role in the fight. I'm not sure how but I can't see him staying away and watching from the sidelines.
Really sucks to be part of a swoop bike gang. The gangsters failed to follow one of my universal rules of life. ALWAYS KNOW WHO YOU ARE F-----G WITH BEFORE YOU F--K WITH SOMEONE. They paid the highest price possible for not recognizing the vengefulness of their
victims.
Bye bye Sarlaac. I guess a sonic mine doesn't have the appropriate laxative effect you we're hoping for.
The only thing that was missing was how Boba acquired his old armor or had new armor made. If I missed something in this regards please let me know.
Now we have to wait another week (feels more like 3 years) for next weeks episode.

Thanks for making us aware of this! The video you shared of the original theme was blocked by Universal - coincidence? I don't think so...looks like this show is another copy & paste project like the Sequel Trilogy.
Ronja och Rövardansen
-
Hey Ron,
Yeah, don't want to spoil it for you, but in the Mandalorian there are a few episodes where Boba shows up and gets his armor back from Djin.
The only small loophole I see is how the armor got from the Jawas to the ole west gunslinger when Djin goes after it on Tatooine. Once again sorry if I am ruining the Mandalorian a bit for you. I might have to go back and watch some of those episodes.

I think knowing where it originates makes it a little better. At first I didn't like it. You have some music and then randomly HEY! that's pretty much all they did was add some either violen or celo instrumentals. Pretty much all star wars movies are cut and paste from something. Look at my movies that inspired star wars thread. Tesb is basically Flash Gordon conquors the universe. It doesn't make it any less of a movie. Jurassic park is cut and paste from jaws 3d.
-
That's a good point, JD. I feel the same about the Theme for Book of Boba Fett. It reminded me of The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey, the first time I heard it. I absolutely love the score by Howard Shore btw! But maybe I was a little harsh. We are all inspired by others - people and our environment. But so far my opinion about that show is: it has some good elements.
Still don't get over that slow-mo Punk Ranger chase on their Vespa in Mos Espa. I saw some of the content you shared about Japanese Ninja movies. I would probably recognize more if I knew more movies. Good point about Jurassic Park. That's why I didn't watch the other parts of Jurassic World because the first one tried to be the original one all over again. More content is one thing. But could they please come up with their own story. Where has the creativity gone?
There must be a reason why George Lucas became a billionaire for his creative mind.
There are so much awful movies and content out there.
-
Anyone watch the latest episode yet? How bout them Mandos? bbfet
Or a good ole Naboo Fighter?
-
I watched it at like 3am i slept all afternoon and was awake all night. So I wasn't sure if I was hallucinating or not. It was an episode of the Mandalorian, i was not expecting that. As a Mandalorian episode it was great, but as a TBOBF episode it was disappointing. We have 2 more episodes left and I assume the next will be another Mandalorian episode, which I guess is great.
Mando has gone back to his comfort zone, but is finding out he doesn't belong there anymore, he's grown past bounty hunting and following that cult. But he keeps holding on.
The N1 was wizard. When he was flying close to the public transport, as an aspiring pilot I thought man he's gonna get in trouble with the FAA. Sure as hell he got stopped by the space cops. Thats another thing he's fighting, is cooperating with the new republic. With cara dune becoming a republic marshall, id think he'd be more open and cooperative, but he fell back into old habits.
At first I didn't like that he got a starfighter to replace the Crest. It's like if I replaced my work truck with a miata. But it represents him letting go and leaving bounty hunting. It's like the darksaber, the more you fight it, the harder it becomes.
I think he'll need some lightsaber training from either Luke, sabine or both.
It was interesting. It was good, but not as a TBOBF episode.
-
Yeah, I feel this was just a Mandalorian Episode to give those of us who miss it a fix till the new season comes out. I kind of feel cheated out of a Boba episode. Oh well it was great.
Man, are we gonna get a great new Naboo Starfighter or what. I mean that episode alone could mean a few years of Hasbro products. Lets hope they don't all become exclusives. Surely they will give us his new ship.
And yes JDeck I am assuming good ole Luke will be giving a bit of training for the darksaber. I mean he did say he is going to see a "little friend". What the heck did he get made for him out of that beskar spear? Kinda hated to see that get melted down.
And this is the way excommunication for taking your helmet off once seems to be a good way to not have a coven. I was thinking perhaps the Armorer was thinking it might be time to amend the way a bit. It will be interesting to see a mine on Mandalore though. I loved him taking out the heavy Mando too.

Those are some insightful callouts JDeck! It seemed really silly to me that Mando goes back to his old ways in S1 after all he's gone through from S1 to S2, but the metaphor of the Darksabers weight does fall in nicely with him and his life's current direction. I'm curious to see how the next episodes going to work out since he agreed to go with Fennec but said he needs to visit Grogu first. If the next episode is all about that, it'd be great but that takes another episode out of the supposed 7 that Boba only gets.
As much as I enjoyed this episode, it could have been saved for the S3 premier of Mando instead. Boba deserves all 7 episodes I think.
Yeah, I feel this was just a Mandalorian Episode to give those of us who miss it a fix till the new season comes out. I kind of feel cheated out of a Boba episode. Oh well it was great.

I really want that Naboo fighter lol. What are the chances of Hasbro making a 6" Naboo fighter? Sad to see the spear melted down. I think it became chain links of sorts? Interesting to see what it is. That coven of 2 Mandos aren't very nice. Armorer just sends Mando on quests and Paz is just an all around jerk. Mando doesn't really need them anymore and I think that goes back to JDeck's point of how Mando has outgrown his comfort zone.
I loved this episode overall and Peli Motto as a character is hilarious. Seeing that BD droid in live action quality CG was pretty cool too! Wonder if Cal Kestis will eventually get a live action cameo?
-
This was a great episode of The Mandalorian.
I loved the opening but didn't expect the entire show to be all Mando and no Fett.
The ending was what I expected. Mando throwing in with Boba's eventual army.
It's going to be interesting to see how all of this comes together with only 2 episodes left.
Do you think the 1st season will end in a cliff hanger and we will have to wait until season 2
to find out who rallies to Boba Fett's side and see the big battle that solidifies Fett's stronghold on Jabba's former crime empire?
-
Wonder if Disney will pull the ole "Endgame" Trick on us like they did in Avengers. Wouldn't surprise me a bit.
-
There is so much to unpack this episode. So many references and appearances to be had. And I think I know who's going to replace Grogu for the interim of The Mandalorian. I think I'll have to watch this one a few times to unpack it all....
-
I keep wondering what he made Grogu with the beskar. Anyone think a Finger Trap would be bad? LOL.
I also keep thinking the Armorer said that beskar was meant to only be armor, but what about the little darts (whistling birds or some such) she made for his guantlet? I am definitely wavering on "the way".
-

I guess she means like large scale weapons but you are right. Odd indeed.
-
Yeah she was like, you can't use beskar as a weapon, next scene uses beskar as a weapon. I never really liked the armorer. Paz vizla was kind of a jerk. But mando needing to prove himself to her is a reason to go to mandalor. Seeing mando use the DS to cut down bounties is like someone using a samurai sword to cut cheese. That's really not what it's made for, especially considering its significance.
Looks like she made chain mail. I heard an interesting theory that whatever armor he got helped him survive kylo Ren's massacre.
-
That's an interesting theory JDeck. I'd like to see how all this connects with the sequels (as much as I dislike them).
Based off how broken Luke is by the sequel trilogy, I would assume someone as significant as Grogu would have died even though I do not want that to happen.

It's just like how Din Djarin tried to give Bo-Katan the DS but turned it down even though she took it from Sabine. This was somewhat retained I guess by what the Armorer said in the latest episode, only to do this whole Beskar no weapon thing after lol.

I think that's the point. To show how Din Darin's outgrown his old life but is still clinging on like JDeck mentioned earlier. Feels like all the Armorer does is send Mando on ridiculous quests that has a low chance of success but each time he comes back from them. And yes, Paz is a jerk lol
-
Yeah, I kind of thought ring mail armor, but seemed like the package was too small for that. Guess we will just have to wait and see.
-
The thing about Bo Katan taking the Darksaber from Sabine is, she basically cursed Mandalor by doing so. Under her watch the Empire destroyed what was left of the planet. At this point, even if she won the darksaber in battle, no one would take her seriously after what had happened. I hope mando becomes the leader, that would be cool. I was hoping sabine would have taken a crack at it, that would have been great character development for her. But she gave it away, and pretty much doomed mandalor.
-
I agree JD. I was hoping for some dynamic hand to hand combat between The Mandalorian
and Bo Katan. But alas, non George Lucas Star Wars disappoints again.
Katie Sackoff vs Pedro Pascal???? That's a hand to hand tussle Pedro fantasizes about but can only experience in his night time dreams.
-
Oh im sure bo and Din are going to fight it out. Bo Katan has a combination of an obsession with power and a sense of entitlement to the throne. At this point it's too early. Mando doesn't even know how to use the Darksaber, nor does he really have the desire to own it, and take the responsibilities that come with it. Maybe with his trip to mandalor, he'll be less reluctant. Sometimes the reluctant leaders are the best, because they don't care about the power, therefore cannot be corrupted by it.

I think this is what they are going for with that exact message. And we should also note that the Darksaber itself is fighting him. Sabers are known to reject their users if they are not aligned properly. This is from both legends and Canon and well documented.
-
Man, great theories folks. Sure can't wait till tomorrow and we get a new episode. Am I bad for hopings its a new episode of the Mandalorian?
-
Yeah that last episode kind of derailed and upstaged the boba fett story. At this point I'm more interested in the Mandalorian. I figured with the flashbacks being done, it would start getting really good. Still though. Can't wait for tomorrow's episode.
-
Oh im sure bo and Din are going to fight it out. Bo Katan has a combination of an obsession with power and a sense of entitlement to the throne. At this point it's too early. Mando doesn't even know how to use the Darksaber, nor does he really have the desire to own it, and take the responsibilities that come with it. Maybe with his trip to mandalor, he'll be less reluctant. Sometimes the reluctant leaders are the best, because they don't care about the power, therefore cannot be corrupted by it.
Soooooo, if I am understanding you correctly the darksaber is something like Thor's hammer.
Only someone who is worthy can wield the Darksaber of Mandalore.
That would mean that Din will have to lose the DS by battling another mando and the victor will become the true leader of Mandalore.
If this is what has to happen then how does it tie into The Book of Boba Fett and the final battle that this series has been leading up to?
-
Absolutely nothing. Unless either Boba Fett kills Din, takes the darksaber and rules mandalor, or Din learns leadership skills from boba fett. Boba Fett's style of leadership is about creating allies as opposed to enemies. In order for Din to unite the mandalorians he'll have to find common ground, which will be difficult seeing he's from an extreamist fringe sect of mandalorians. But he has been willing to work along with and even accept other mandalorians, which is actually a big deal, seeing as how by his beliefs, mandalorians can't even remove their helmets. If he can bend his own rules perhaps he can be a mediator and unite the mandalorians and become Mandalor the Uniter.
-
Is anyone imagining a scene where the Armorer and the Heavy Mando join up and start learning the "New Way"?
I am seeing Din starting a new movement that is legitamzied through him using the Darksaber as Mandos from all over know it (the darksaber) won't let someone who is not worthy wield it.
Kind of like a modern day Excalibur or Thor's Hammer.
It would make for an awesome story arc.
You know Bo Katan ain't gonna like it though, until she gets her butt kicked by Din or maybe Grogu.
Hey, when we gonna talk about Boba again? LOL. I guess we have the new episode now so time to stay off the internet and here till I watch it. Happy viewing folks.
-
Well we pretty much got another episode of the Mandalorian with a sprinkling of Book of Boba.
Loved seeing Luke train Grogu. Freaking awesome and the only thing I hated was seeing that choice at the end, but wow so Jedi. I keep thinking Luke is gonna have an epiphany and think man this sure sucked when I went through it why am I making Grogu go through with this crap?
It was good seeing Ahsoka again. I wonder if she was just a bit of filler till she gets her show.
Cad Bane though, man freaking awesome! It is gonna be one epic showdown on ole Tatooine. So yeah, I liked the episode. Anyone think our Jedi Pals will show up at the end with Grogu to force punch a few folks?
-
I think a lot of people are overlooking a large reveal. Grogu was present for Order 66. And several Jedi sacrificed themselves for his preservation. And 501st troopers arrived prior to the end of the flashback. Which is interesting... because if he was known to be a youngling, how did he survive? Was he spared by troopers? Or Anakin? That raises some questions. How did he escape the Empire? How did he come into the care of the Nikto clan?

That Cad Bane showdown was well directed. Interesting to see him in live action. Hope Cobb Vanth isn't dead.
It do wish there was more Boba Fett though. Don't think we'll see Jedi's for the finale. I have a feeling it will be a cliff-hanger.

Good question! The lead Jedi reminded me of Cir Drallig! I'm sure we'll find out more in either Mando S3 or Ahsoka.

The question I have regarding that scene is how did a bunch of clone troopers take down three fully trained, disciplined, masters of the force Jedi Knights?
This is the first experience I have had with this show where I call bulls--t.
Should we start a betting pool on what is the usual age a member of the Grogu/Yoda species actually learns how to hop???
Other than that I again really enjoyed this episode. Deputy dumbass got exactly what he deserved. Cad Bane went all John Wayne on his sorry ass.
I am not however convinced that Marshall Dillon is really dead but we will see. His being shot may be the impetus he needs to convince Freedom Town to rally behind Boba Fett.
I also ask, how do the past 2 episodes contribute to next weeks season finale?
I can't put all of this season together and create a scenario where a major battle takes place that provides a victory for BF and cements his leadership over Jabba's former criminal empire.
Who will be standing tall at Fett's side? Tuskans, Jawas, the people of Freedom Town, Mando?
Will Mando bring reinforcements from somewhere? Possibly Bo Katan with an army of her own?
Will Grogu have a force vision and convince Luke and Luke's allies to join the cause? Will Ashoka be a part of the Fight For Fett?
There have been rumors that Han and Chewie will show up? If so how does that tie in with the whole good guy Boba Fett story line? Plus, why would they be a part of this fight?
Has Boba Fett commandeered a herd of Rancor's that will reek havoc on the Pyke military?
There are so many individual parts of The Book of Boba Fett that I can't piece the puzzle together.
I don't see how the final episode wraps up the entire story. It has to be continued with
season two.
-
Ron, you bring up a good point about three Jedis being fully aware not being able to take down some Clone Troopers.
I can't see how this ends either. Probably MM is right, cliff hanger and we won't know till the first episode of whatever other season we get.
Good stuff though, they have me hooked.
-
Next episode leaks lol
-
THAT'S HILLARIOUS!!!! Oh so true but none the less HILLARIOUS.
-
Another thought from my mind of mangled madness.
Did anyone else think that Luke from BoBF actually looks more like Luke's brother/twin
than Luke from Return of the Jedi or even Luke from The Mandalorian?
-
That is one thing I am astounded by. Whomever is doing the cgi work on Luke needs a raise. I mean how cool is this! Technology just astounds me.
You know they probably have a few actors they tried out too and I bet the cgi versions looked the best.
-
Two days until the finale.
What does everyone think we will see in this episode?
Will we see this season end on Wednesday or carry over to season two?
-
I am home sick with covid so I am really looking forward to it.
-
This morning I read part of an interview with Temuera Morrison.
He stated that his Boba Fett character has a HUGE SCORE to settle with Mace Windu.
Is it possible we will see another surprise character make an appearance in tomorrows
final episode?
-
Damn Tamer you got the covid?! Hope you're doing alright. Seems like with every new variant the virus gets less severe. I'm really surprised I haven't gotten it. The guy that checks everyone's temperatures at one of my stops got it, but he's back to work, doing well.
Yup just one more episode. I heard about a possible mace windu appearance. Judging by what Tameura said, he's pitching for a season 2. I like the show and everything, but I would just like to close the book at one season. It's unfortunate they wasted the last two episodes with baby yoda. The episodes were pretty dope, but had nothing to do with fett, and was just filler in an already short one season show. They have a lot to wrap up now in one final episode. I'm still hoping for a han and chewie appearance, but doubtful. Also would like to see zuckuss and 4lom. I'll probably stay up tonight to watch it, as I'm off work tomorrow.
-
Yeah, it has worn me down a bit. Still feel good enough to mess around on here and just got done watching the Hasbro Livestream.
-
I've been reading some reviews on other sites and the opinions are wide and varying.
Not much for spoilers has been revealed but the comments put me in the category of: I can't
wait to get home and watch this final episode.
And yes Tamer, it's a VERY SLOW day at school. Normally I don't have 4 class periods in a row to peruse the net but today is a day of relaxation.
I'll take em when I get em.
Shawn, you know how it is. It's public education.
-
Well it was a good episode. Glad ot was an hour long, any shorter and it would have been rushed. Well I guess we'll be seeing more baby yoda for the next couple of years at least.
I liked the Rancor vs the giant droidekka, that was more badass than i had imagined. For me black krrsantan is my favorite guy. Hasbro needs to make him for tvc. All in all i liked it, it was great, just them deciding to put mando and gogurt in there really sidelined the entire story. They even ended boba fetts show with baby yoda. I get it he's cute and funny and the most well behaved baby who never poops, he's perfect and makes a ton of merch money. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets on the Obi-Wan show.
It would have been cool if it were more like Yojimbo/A fistful of dollars. Where he plays two warring sydicates against each other, forcing a final battle killing both sides, thus cleaning up the town. But it was okay, great start but lost me at episode 5.
-
I thought the big boss battle at the end was epic. I can't say that Grogu coming back was anything less than predictable but I'm still okay with it. Fun fact, the huge droids used by the Pykes actually were CIS super droids.
-
I am not feeling the best this week so all I will say is I liked it more than I didn't like it, if that makes any sense. I could see a lot of cliche things happening and some way slowed down way over choreographed action scenes, but I still loved Boba on the Rancor and his final show down with Cad Bane.
I also like the scene at the end with him walking through town. JDeck I can feel your point on Din and Grogu stealing the show a bit. I am wondering if Jon and Dave started reading too many fan comments and saying, hey lets give em a show or two of the Mandalorian and Grogu to shut em up?
-
I think it was always intended for it to be mando season 2.5. They had to write baby yoda back into the story. They're not going to kill the golden goose, or write him off completely. At the same time, they can show how boba fett escaped, something fans have been wanting to see for almost 40 years, but when they finally do, they hate it. At this point they should just focus on new characters, any way they portray the old characters, it's not going to match what people have already created in their own minds.
-
Yeah, it has worn me down a bit. Still feel good enough to mess around on here and just got done watching the Hasbro Livestream.
Dam Tamer, sorry to hear that. Get well soon!

Mace Windu for S2 would be interesting!

I was expecting a much darker series focusing on the criminal element filled similar to the Game of Thrones, but obviously not as graphic since its on Disney+.
Yes, all things lead back to Grogu because cuteness sells and he resembles the almighty mouse that owns the franchise now ;D ::)
That being said, I do like how Grogu chose to be Mandalorian. Won't have to wonder how he escaped Kylo or got butchered by the Knights of Ren. Luke comes off as a bad master and just gave up on training him after everything Mando went through to find him a Jedi.
I like how Cad Bane is reminiscent of Sentenza from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I kind of wish he wasn't killed off but it also works I suppose. Would have been more dramatic if Cad Bane was revealed to be the one that slaughtered the Tuskens instead. Really wish The Tusken Warrior survived and came to help Boba with some remaining Tuskens at the end. We'll see I guess, there's still room in future series and episodes of BOBF.
Boba doesn't seem to do well under the heat of the two Tatooine suns ;D He's quite a bit more clumsy like his old ROTJ self in this series compared to his badass comeback in Mando.
-
Since a lot of what I was going to say has already been stated I'll go with this.
The one thing I don't understand (other than money) is why they/he/it (grogu) was in this episode in the first place. BY added absolutely nothing to this episode. Plus how did he commandeer an X-Wing and what was the point?
If he didn't commandeer the ship then why did Luke send him to Tatooine?
Is it possible that since Grogu chose the armor instead of the lightsaber Luke came to the conclusion that his emotional attachment is to strong and therefor not capable of being trained as a Jedi? Enough about my speculations.
The only real negative I saw was that the Pykes have to be the absolute WORST when it comes to planning a military style offensive. As I watched the show I came up with at least 6 different scenarios where they would have obliterated Fett and his rag tag bunch of guerreilla fighters.
I really did enjoy the battle from start to finish.
The Super Dooper battle droids were a perfect addition to the Pyke assault. But they must have been programmed by Stormtroopers because they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
I need 1 or 2 of them for my collection.
Boba riding into town on his Rancor was the best! Reminded me of the old westerns when Clint Eastwood would charge in to the battle with guns blazing. Only this time the guns were Rancor claws.
Cad Bane? I don't really give a hoot. Other than a colorful character with very little meaning to the show his kicking the bucket was just filler for me.
I'll give the townfolk of Freetown a lot of credit. For a small band of supposedly inexperienced fighters they stood their ground and knew how to improvise.
Season 2 could be interesting. I can't see BF spending the rest of his time on Tatooine as p---y Fett. He has to get back out in the galaxy in one form or another.

Freetown folks are awesome! Wonder what cyborg Cobb Vanth will be like? I think R2 was piloting the X-Wing. Since Grogu chose the Mithril shirt Luke decided to let Grogu go as it was a symbolic choice between the path of a Jedi or path of a Mandalorian.
Pykes are spice runners so military tactics won't be a strong suit for them lol
I'm guessing Mace Windu will be a plot point for S2 from the buzz on the interwebs. I really hope we don't get more spin off episodes for a spin off show lol. I can't really picture Temuera Morrison acting vengeance bound considering his personality but it will be cool to see Mace and Boba confront each other and what the hell Mace Windu has been doing this whole time since ROTS if he survived.
-
I am envisioning a series from here on out where Boba just seems to go from fire to fire. I do hope they explore that Tusken Arc a little more though. I could see a romance with that Tusken Warrior widow being fun. Kind of a you can't marry me until you can best me in combat thing. Gotta have more Boba on Rancor too. Get a better saddle though.
I also did like the whole Mando flying and fighting thing. Does Din not have a missle in his jetpack? If not, remedy this. Boba firing his missle is awesome. I even like the knee missles. I could see see a Mandalorian having air to air and air to surface missles too. They need to get a Beskar outfit for full on aireal combat mode. I would buy a couple of those if they hit the pegs. Couldn't you see a cross of an F16 with a Mando Suit?!
I do think the one thing that was a bit wonky was the lack of starship action in this. I mean who in their right mind wouldn't have had aireal back up when this fight went down? We didn't see the Slave I, I mean Firespray nor did the Pikes have an aireal back up? I was so looking forward to at least an atmospheric fight even if it was just a small one.
I mean what did we have for this whole series? All I can recall is Boba taking out the Biker Gang which was epic. And we get a story of Din getting a new Naboo Fighter. I mean why in the world wasn't that used in the final battle? And Boba not dropping some seismic charges? I guess you only have so much budget for cgi. Still, I want more space and ship fighting in the next run.
-
I was hoping Fett would turn out to be a strategic genius, but he's the worst. Spreading an already thinned out force throughout the city, knowing the other families would probably turn on him, was pretty dumb. That's up there with Luke sneaking in all the main characters into jabba's palace one at a time, getting them all captured.
Really he should have made the Sanctuary the Alamo. Put fennec on the rooftop, the mods as scouts/ambush team. Santo and the gamoreans as your frontline close quarters fighters and mando and fett for mid range. They would have been better off. That's not even counting the Freetowners. Then when the droids show up, that's when you want to spread out, instead they did the opposite, just kept shooting at them, ineffectively. But i guess bad strategy makes good drama, i dunno.
-
Yeah, when Fennec was saying how they had all the avenues of approach covered I just though well dummies you just spread out your forces and then Cad Bane showed up.
-
I think we also need to give major props to Krrsantan for his toughness, resiliency and armor like constitution.
I mean come on, how many times can anyone sustain being shot that many times with blaster fire and still hobble back to to safety.
-
Black Krrsantan or as I like to call him Santo, because we're friends now. He ended up being the most badass dude on the show. Forget boba give me a Santo series. Dude was able to sneak into boba fetts palace undetected, pretty goid for a big guy. Instead of killing boba with a blster he decided to do it by hand. Of course it ultimately didn't work for him, but he put up a good fight. That bar scene was beyond awesome. He got drunk AF, started a barfight. The bar owner instead of kicking him out, I mean how can you, offered to clear his extensive tab to walk away. What dies he do? Rips off the Trandoshan's arm and pays the bartender. That's cool. Yeah he can take a hit or two. By far my favorite character in the show.

He's got some exclusive comics coming up by the way, if you hadn't heard yet. They look pretty good from the teasers.
-
Hell yeah man! I was into the (canon) comics when they first started, but got out of the habit. It us a lot of content coming out at one time.
I just catch up on various YouTube videos.
If you think about it, Aphra was the first fan choice for TVC. the legitimacy of the elections are debatable, but Aphra won. Black Krrsantan needs a figure in TVC. ASAP. Anyone who knows Aphra knows Krrsantan. I hope hasbo will "celebrate" Krrsantan in a new "expression". In the upcoming waves. To put in corporate talk.
-
JDeck you crack me up. I approve of your use of the keywords. LOL!
Oh you know Santo is coming in both TVC and The Black Series Lines.
Does this guy have a ship. Now that is something I want to see.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing BK in TVC and BS. I think he would sell very quickly. And I really like his origin story as a wookie gladiator slave turned bounty hunter. Very reminiscent of the movie Gladiator and Hanharr from KOTOR 2.

I'm all in when it comes to certain Star Wars comics.
Vader's Castle, Vader Down, and now Vader-Crimson Reign.
Also the series for The High Republic and High Republic Trail of Shadows.
Plus a new series called simply Star Wars and a new one I started reading today-Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Halcyon Legacy. This one has a Wookie Jedi padawan.
The comics keep my adrenaline flowing for Star Wars. disney certainly doesn't have a clue when it comes to knowing how to excite the fans.
-
Well it didn't take long to get a TBS Santo!
-
Not exactly what I had in mind. Seeing it takes a year to produce a figure start to finish, and concept art is unreliable, this is probably the best they could do right now. It's a repainted Chewbacca. But they charge deluxe price. Id gladly wait, and pay deluxe price for a new TBOBF sculpt. If they do this with TVC, at least use the larger MeruMeru figure.
-
Yeah, gotta admit I saw "Ewww!!" when I first saw this one.
The way stuff is coming out daily now I am gonna save my bucks to see what else they might show us. I didn't take em long to get that smaller hat Cad Bane ready to roll too.
I also can't get over the fact that they just had a livestream and didn't even hint about all these new figures. I mean they showed us Black Series Archive Figures when they were getting ready to release all this less than a day later. Maybe they were embarrased?
Anyhow, starting to jack this thread which is supposed to be about the show. Guess we have a bit of time before it starts back up.
-
Im even less convinced they'll make a TBOBF Santo. I've seen santo customs on here that look a whole lot better. Watch as soon as I make one, hasbro will release a better version.
That pulse livestream was really just to announce their jabba's palace. They did mention there would be one more bring home the bounty Tuesday. Outside of that, yeah they're all repacks. The TVC pipeline, is probably going to be the last wave of the year. So there are still 4 unidentified figures in that wave, plus a repack wave, and another Target exclusive this year, so about 10 unannounced figures including 5 repacks for the remainder of the year. Speaking of Target exclusives, I did manage to get all 3 target tvc figures yesterday. Good thing I'm self employed, I can spend an hour refreshing.
Life is more boring on Wednesdays for me now without boba fett. I guess Bad Batch is next followed shortly by Obi-Wan on may 25th, then Andor late summer early fall, then mando season 3. Ahsoka probably won't come out until late 2023, probably be like this past year where they skipped mando and had boba fett, but it ended up being mando s2.5 anyway. Ahsoka im predicting will be the same. Im not thinking there will be a TBOBF season 2, maybe, but they kind of squandered the first season, with mando and baby Yoda.

I completely forgot about Bad Batch S2 lol. Same reason I havn't made a more accurate BOBF Boba Fett yet. Theres the TVC figure so you know they'll get to it for 6" Black Series.
I'm suprised Andor got signed on for a second season? How much can they tell between the start of his life to Rogue One?
-
Yeah you're right, they haven't made a TBOBF fett they have the "throne room" fett, but it's more like the morak version. That's wierd.
I didn't know they picked up a second season of Andor. That's cool, i like rogue one and pretty much anything in the Imperial era.
