Spoilers Book of Boba Fett [Spoiler Discussion]

[Reverend]

Dangerous enough to get the drop on her and push her to a likely death and dangerous enough to almost get the drop on and finish Han Solo.

That's a funny way to spell "dangerous enough to get taken out blaster in hand, while monologing, by a baby Han Solo on his second day on the job".

Also, reality check: Aurra Sing was an ice cold killer. Like, the killing part was what she did for a living. Becket was a two-bit hijacker. The killing part was a side effect of what he did, not the thing in and of itself, and he survived by picking his fights carefully...until he didn't.

he felt overpowered,

This.

He always wins, not because of any inherent skill, but because of lazy plot contrivance. This happens with baddies a lot and can be hard to avoid. But, with Bane, it's all the time.

Sometimes the two-bit punk drops the professional badass.

Sometimes the two-bit punk drops the professional badass.

Such as when the two-bit punk dropped Fennec Shand in her first appearance.

Factually incorrect. He's caught and imprisoned on at least two occasions, and only got out because he has a Sith Lord as his patron.
Plus there was that time Boba shot him in the head.

Such as when the two-bit punk dropped Fennec Shand in her first appearance.

Yeah, and that didn't stick either.
Plus he wasn't the one that captured her, that was basically just Dyn. She just misjudged how much of a sociopath the little bastard was.

I think Luke Skywalker and Baby Yoda might return. He needs to sale the family farm and say goodbye to some old friends. Been to busy fighting the Empire recently to deal with this stuff. Maybe get some of the family photos and some of his childhood toys and even fondly take a look at his hidey hole where he kept his space weed and porn. Go visit Uncle Owen Aunt Beru's grave and say goodbye.

 

[StarMan]

There was something very familiar about that chase scene...

Episodes 1 & 2 were a solid thumbs up (ep.2 in particular), unfortunately this was pretty unsatisfying filler / set up - not what I'd hoped for given the no. of episodes.

The Tuskens were dispatched rather abruptly - I hope there's more to follow up on there. Fan service stuff will undoubtedly please those who relish it.

Overall a bit disjointed and meh. Weakest entry so far. Hopefully episode 4 knocks it out of the park.

 

[dupersuper]

It was cool to see Camie and Fixer again even wearing the same clothes after 3 years or so since Luke left.

Wouldn't it be 5 or 6 years since he left in RotJ and 9 or 10 since he left in New Hope?

 

[KennyB]

This week was the first week that was a big fat “meh” for me…….even the chase seems to be really slow paced and not exciting at all. Short run time too. Other than some big guest stars, this week was filler.

 

[KennyB]

Wouldn't it be 5 or 6 years since he left in RotJ and 9 or 10 since he left in New Hope?

Only 5 years from ANH to Battle of Endor.

 

[dupersuper]

Only 5 years from ANH to Battle of Endor.

Right: forgot that was during the flashback. Brain fart.

 

[cooleddie74]

So yeah, at most the current events on the new series take place only 10 or 10-1/2 years after ANH. 11 or 11-1/2 if we agree that TBOBF happens six years after the Battle of the Sarlacc.

 

[marillion]

Machete got a rancor! Love it...

The chase scene did seem a little clunky, special effects-wise, and I'm not sold on the biker gang yet. But all in all, a very enjoyable episode.

 

[cooleddie74]

Yeah, the hipster Borg gang were the least impressive part of the episode for me but at least they were used and got at least a little development.

 

[Tuskin38]

I freaking called it regading the Tusken Tribe.

Their death is probably what is driving Boba to try and control the gangs.

 

[cooleddie74]

I was hoping the Tuskens would live long enough to appear in the season finale and help in whatever final battle the producers filmed but at least their deaths will serve as a focusing point for Boba.

 

[Saul]

I'd rather see Boba hang out with sand people than the Power Rangers. Meh episode.

Episode 6 was written and directed by Dave Filoni. Who might be appearing? Ahsoka? Rex? Cad Bane? Omega?

Mace Windu.

 

[Campe]

It was very strange to see Boba all loving on a rancor like a puppy.

 

[Tuskin38]

that Jabba art that gets crashed into is a McQuarrie concept piece, with Luke removed.

I was hoping the Tuskens would live long enough to appear in the season finale and help in whatever final battle the producers filmed but at least their deaths will serve as a focusing point for Boba.

There didn't appear to be enough bodies there IMO, I think a couple may show up later.

Probably the warrior who trained Fett.

 

[Tuskin38]

The funeral chant going on when Boba burns the bodies is apparently in Mando'a, and of course someone translated it.
