    Really, who wouldn’t get tossed around by a gladiator wookiee with super serum type strength. I mean it’s not like Boba got knocked over by a blind man with a stick. Oh wait a minute.

    He was what everyone was curious about right? Who is this child? and while we got an answer as to what his name is and that i guess he was at the temple in the PT days. thats kinda all thats said. When you go back to where it all started... was the mystery really paid off?

    I don't think Boba is weak. He just isn't shown to be unbeatable. Which i think all the hype for Boba has kinda set people up for the expectation that he should be unbeatable. While here he gets thrown around but keeps getting back up. Showing that he is tough even if he doesn't always win.

    I do think because of Mando they decided that we have their cowboy character, so Boba should be a Barbarian. as mentioned in behind-the-scenes video. So i think thats how they perceive Boba.

    Really the armor stopped being important once he became a Clone. But at the same time, Boba doesn't have any reason to constantly wear it.

    And i think Tem was talking about The Mandalorian scene on the Gunship when he had his helmet off. in terms of when he wears it in the show... I doubt Tem has much say on that. infact logically, they probably filmed scenes several times. probably with and without helmet so they have both options

    You laugh now but when those bikes combine into a Voltron level exosuit and punches a starship out of the air, you'll eat those words.

    Get a Tesla if you care about gas milage.

    anyway. I have to assume that the flashbacks are pretty much over no?

    I don't know. When we pick up with him in Mando he was running around with a Tusken tribe (or least I thought he was) so either there are survivors or he likes the life so much he moved on to another tribe.

    There’s been some suggestion from Disney-era LFL stories, following some of Lucas’s stuff on that front from the PT era, being the most feared bounty hunter in the Galaxy actually don’t translate to that big of an actual reputation. Jango and Cad Bane both had prolific careers, but neither are identifiable or feared on sight in spite of it by multiple protagonists. They may just be applying this to Boba Fett as well.

    I liked this episode… though it is weaker than the other two. My hope is that it ends up being a handy “utility” episode - enough important seeds planted well enough that actual execution doesn’t matter as much.

    I don’t think so. I would bet the next episode he searches for and eventually finds the Warrior (she really needs a name, LFL!) Maybe she’s been taken as a slave by the biker crew or something.

    I personally don't think you're hostile but you do tend to take an incredulous tone with some of your responses to other posters. Not trying to put you down, it's just an observation.

    This needs to be it. Because now I need to see Boba sneak into a non-Tusken camp to rescue a kidnapped woman who happens to be the Tusken in this version and kill all of them. Except maybe any women or children.

    Besides, this is PG-13. You know what that means!

    Badass killers can't actually kill anyone.

    They just show up, look cool, then toss the heroes around a bit, but give them plenty of time to recover.

    That they can show a main character have their arms and legs cut off and be set alight and then zoom in for closeups of their flesh being burnt off...?

    If the lead character was anyone but Boba Fett, many of the same people bashing this show would be praising it. It's not perfect but I feel a lot of the criticisms are being greatly exaggerated IMO. I found this episode to be more "fun" than the last two even if it technically was not as "good". And I like when my Star Wars is fun.

    It had Stephen Root pop up so that's always a plus but the weakest episode of the series so far. Loses points for casting the kids that looked more out of Alita: Battle Angel than Star Wars. There was zero Star Wars aesthetic with them. Not to mention, the speeder chase gave the impression they were going at about 8MPH the whole time.

    6/10

    I could have forgiven the silly Power Rangers bikes if the chase at the end had been worth anything. It was shot so badly that you could tell they were only going maybe 15-20 miles an hour tops.

    I should have felt as excited watching it as I was back when I was playing the chase level from Shadows of the Empire on my old N64.

    Seeing as I was the first person you actually replied to. I want to say I don’t really care. I’ll like what I want to and I kinda won’t care what anyone else says. It’s a fictional show. It’s okay to disagree. We cool.

    "I grew up surrounded by water" is such a silly line in the context of the discussion they were having......
    And Fennec nods at him as to say "oh, so interesting ! "
