Spoilers Book of Boba Fett [Spoiler Discussion]

. Not only a callback to a throwaway line about wookies in the original Star Wars movie,

Tearing the arm of a Trandoshan? That's all Wookies got? If that's what Han has seen a Wookie do, it's weak sauce. He had Obi-Wan aboard, the old man had permanently dismembered Ponda Baba – not a Trandoshan – only hours earlier. And Jango Fett's shape-shifting contractor's arm, whatever was dangling out of Grievous, Anakin's all remaining limbs, and the lower half of Maul. That we know of. Call me when...

OK, I stand corrected.

The helmet has a pretty sizeable dent in it. Given what they've shown of Beskar in The Mandalorian, I would like to know what the hell hit it to make such a dent in it.

Clearly Bane's blaster had a serious kick to it. Not surprising that he'd have a way to overcharge it like that, given how much of his gear it aimed around countering Jedi, he's probably prepared for Mandos in beskar too.
That said, pure beskar armor is rare (which is why they're inherited and reforged); most of the rank and file suits are just a beskar alloy, so probably not nearly as tough. Also reasonably certain Boba's helmet isn't Jango's old one since he lost that trying to get revenge on Windu, so that could be one of the alloy ones.
 
Just watched the most recent episode. The flash backs were pretty good and filled in the needed back storyline. I’m glad that they should be done now, so the main story can push forward. Little Mondo foreshadowing there at the end. Overall, 8/10

BTW, who’s playing the wookie? I’m missing the actors name in the end credits. Thx.

I think the name “Slave I” has been removed from the Disney canon though. Unless it was referred as that in AoTC. I don’t remember

It was called Slave I in dialogue in an episode of Clone Wars.

It's also still called Slave I on the official website
https://www.starwars.com/databank/boba-fetts-starship

I don't think they're going to remove/retcon the name from canon, they'll just start using it less, or stop using it completely.

I know but it’s also it’s name now

No it isn't, it's the class name.
 
Am I the only one who thinks this show is pretty boring? Fett has done very little in the present besides walk to the mayor's office and back, the flashbacks are getting tedious and Fett is barely a character. The Mandalorian progressed the plot far further than Book of Fett did at this point.

Star Trek Prodigy is a Nickelodeon kids cartoon, but it's far better at moving the plot forward and establishing characters than Book of Fett.
 
It's funny to watch the generally positive response here vs another forum I'm on that has a bunch of old school, first generation Star Wars fans, where they are tearing it apart.

I am not hard to please, if this show had better defined characters and the plot moved faster, I would like this show. The slow pacing and lack of interesting characterization makes this dull for me. It's not only me:

The class has been called a Firespray-31 since probably the old West End Games Role-playing Game.

Yeah, WEG's Galaxy Guide 3 is the earliest appearance of that designation that I'm aware of. I think prior sourcebooks just called it Slave One, or "Boba Fett's Starship" (so that way of referring to it is nothing new either!)

Basically almost any name for something in the OT movies that didn't come from the scripts, toys, or other contemporary tie-in media probably came from the old late 80's WEG sourcebooks. Though most fans probably only learned of them through the later EU novels, comics and their concurrent "Essential Guide to . . . " type reference books.

Damn, West End Games. That takes me back to a time when there were so many small gaming companies. I see they went bankrupt and were acquired by other companies.
 
Slave 1 was apparently from a naming contest internally at ILM?

Interesting, I've never come across that before (or I did and just forgot.) It makes sense since I've never been able to pin down any other source. It's not named in the script, or the concept art.
Prior to this I'd sort of been running on the vague presumption that it might have evolved from a placeholder name along the lines of "Slaver Ship 1", in the same way the A-Wing & B-Wing were just provisionally labelled "fighter A" and "fighter B" by the production. But I guess it seems I was overthinking it.
