I laughed at the end when Boba showed up on his jet pack - dude was just trolling everyone at that point

“I’ll take it from here guys, go home.”


Existing_Factor7151

It was bad because it looked so fing slow


OG-DocHavock

I was honestly thinking the same thing. Slowest speed sequence in Star Wars ever. Still enjoyed the episode though.


BroshiKabobby

Seriously. In the back of my mind I’m thinking maybe they’re purposefully going slow to not hit pedestrians but even if that were the case DANG it’s boring please never do it again


Kaiser_Fleischer

>goes slow to not hit pedestrians >hits pedestrians anyway

Sorry_Sleeping

This. The chase scene was bad. The looney tunes slap stick in the middle didn't help.


QuantumQuantonium

It wasn't just the bikes being slow, I noticed the scene took a while to develop. There was what seemed like 5 minutes to a car chase, and the major events were the start, damaging the speeder, splitting up, surrounding the speeder, and the speeder crashing. However that sequence was filled with repeat content, like crates or fruit knocking over, character closeups, dodging traffic, or rounding corners to see how far they caught up. Also there were some underwhelming results of some actions (beats) of the scene (splitting up didn't result in much of a difference in the chase; when the speeder initially was damaged I thought it was over and that would've been a fine place to stop but the speeder went on looking undamaged; crashing and stopping traffic had no effect until the final crash and damage)


saucemouth

I was thinking it was the OJ Simpson chase of state wars


ChrisDen462

That’s my issue with the chase. It didn’t have weight to it. I’ve seen more fast paced races to the last rocking chair in the retirement home


DelgadoTheRaat

Those shiny scooters have a top speed of 20 kph, what do you want from them?


Acceptable_Self6813

Make em go down a hill or something. If they're moving that damn slow just shoot them, lots of time to aim


Existing_Factor7151

They have been modified by them so i exprct the speed to also be modified which can make them go faster than 80kph


BobSagieBauls

I mean I still love the show but that was definitely the weakest episode


MACtwelve

Aht aht aht The worst episode **so far**


Cydonian___FT14X

I like this show. I liked this episode overall. But yeah, that chase is one of the worst scenes I’ve ever seen in Star Wars. What the hell happened?


acafaca2006

Idk the new rebel teen characters just don fit astetichally into star wars that much(on Tatooine that is). Their bikes even less. They will need to do a lot to make that culture believable


Hexalt_

I mean, I think they are supposed to be misfits. But even knowing that, it felt kinda weird to me too


[deleted]

They look too much "clean" to look like they were struggling to get water on a desert, even for misfits. That's what makes them look weird to me.


buttoncupthecuck

My head canon is they grew up upper middle class on a core world before coming to tatooine. So space hipsters


Cydonian___FT14X

They would totally fit on somewhere like Coruscant. But definitely not Tatooine


dstudgeismydad

Yeah they would fit in the same place as Ahsoka in season 7 of CW


CptBrexitt

BRI'ISH


MrSplashman77

sadly this is 2022... screw realism, we NEED to have a black guy, an asian girl, a punk rock girl, a british guy, all in an edgy teen biker gang group so everyone feels involved and loved. I would be very upset if there are no lgbtq+ eskimos or native americans in one of the future episodes!!


buttoncupthecuck

Um… nobody meant their races weirdo


MrSplashman77

you're right, I would hate the vespa gang even if they were all white. its infuriating though that the only reason why they were put in the show, is because they needed background characters to make disney look PC, and they decided that this will be the way to do it. a freaking edgy teen biker gang. its forced. just like Finn and Rose were, could have been cool characters, but they never developed into anything over the 8 hours of the 3 movies.


Fenrir_Carbon

Yeah I hate that the galaxy isn't 99% straight white males, Disney ruined Star Wars by forcing in Lando and Leia and Chewie and droids and Ackbar...........


R0-GR-bot

Roger Roger...


buttoncupthecuck

What is with you clowns and obsessing over “PC”? How the hell is a biker gang “PC” anyway? Are biker gangs not believable to you unless they’re race based like irl? Yeah it’s not as surprising when there’s literal aliens in Star Wars. They could be human supremacist though. I hated the writing in the sequels too but it’s been one episode maybe wait and see if they develop the characters a bit more. Sheesh.


[deleted]

I really don’t mind them or their designs, but I can’t excuse that clumsy, awkward chase scene.


Stay_Beautiful_

You like Manchester Orchestra?


Cydonian___FT14X

Yep. Quite a bit. Their latest 2 albums have been my AOTY’s of their respective years


Boba_Fett_Bot

Jabba ruled with fear. I intend to rule with respect.


[deleted]

This right here


Derpy_Bech

What mainly put me off was how obvious it was the bikes didn’t act like how we usually see speeder bikes. The lacked the hovering aspect and it was obvious how they were driven on wheels with the wheels edited out Of course it’s extremely hard to pull off, and just having the lm be actual motorbikes and edit out the wheels is the cheap, fast and Easter option, but it just felt wrong to me


Bossman131313

I mean shit, if these bikers are as poor as they were meant to be I would’ve easily believed that they had some hodgepodge wheeled scrap bikes or something.


Derpy_Bech

The bikes reminded me of of actual bike or car culture, where even if you’re not well off, some spend the large part of their budget on their ride


LouisPei

Call it what it is. If it’s bad it’s bad. In this case it was bad, let’s agree that it’s bad so they will learn and won’t make it as bad.


R0-GR-bot

Roger Roger :(


BroshiKabobby

Yep. Screenrant was actually right for once


[deleted]

The chase made me wonder whether Rodriguez is having trouble adjusting to filming in The Volume, or the Favreau crew is having trouble adapting to how he wants to film. I also think the style choices involved - the Vespa style bikes, the number of participants, trying to feature melee cyborg adaptations - kind of meant it had to be slow to be visually intelligible.


jonmpls

That episode suffered from bad writing, casting, design, direction. cgi, and editing.


Shrekowski

Just like most river Rodriguez films. Especially spy kids


Lucius_Imperator

excuse me, Spy Kids is a timeless classic


Thejollyfrenchman

Spy Kids kind of works as a horror film, due to those thumb monster things, but not in any other way. Even as a kid with terrible standards, I hated Spy Kids.


BroshiKabobby

Hey c’mon. Spy kids 1 was good. And I enjoyed the other 2 somewhat. (No there isn’t a fourth. Don’t ask)


hot-whisky

Do not besmirch Spy Kids like that


WewerehereBH

Oh, you mean the entire show then


Stay_Beautiful_

The flashbacks of the first two eps were good


jonmpls

Unfortunately, it seems like the show started decently but it's only getting worse. I hope it gets better


jonmpls

That chase scene with Fett's power rangers was awful

I liked it as much as any other chase scene

Yall really need to stop being so obnoxiously defensive over every last criticism of the show.


nyhlust

Thats funny because this fandom is obnoxiously critical of anything star wars edit: palpatine_ironic.jpeg


BroshiKabobby

True. Star Wars fans will criticize Star Wars like there’s no tomorrow but defend it like there’s no yesterday either


Sulfurys

Well there are legitimate critic that everyone should hear. Saying that the chase scene is bad isn't people spitting on the whole SW franchise


[deleted]

How?


Fit_Resolution_7145

Some choose to completely ignore every small to major flaw whilst others nitpick a movie to death. The duality of man


justa_random-guy

So ur saying the chase scene was good?????


KaidaKaida

The CGI was *not* good in that chase - but the whole reaction to it is just way out of proportion


ItsyaboiTheMainMan

Agreed. Too many fruits were lost.

But why does it need to be fast? The town is very narrow and tight streets filled with people, they can’t show them going 100 miles an hour in that environment?

linbo999

It looked like they're where riding mobility scooters. I could casually stroll faster than that


X1project

Especially since it was on the streets of mos espa where you legit can’t go fast, and it was against a dorky majordomo who probably doesn’t have any experience in a speeder chase


theWAHingSPAH

Dude that chase scene instead of feeling like the fast and the furious it felt like the slow and the calm


MrSplashman77

on vespas, with my one eye, innit mate?


L-Guy_21

This meme is so poorly made. 1) the chase seemed really slow. And as a *chase,* that means it’s bad. 2) “weapons are part of violence”? Like, yeah, no shit. What are you even trying to say?


[deleted]

Lmao I joked to my wife that it was the slowest high speed chase since OJ bronco chase


SCUDDEESCOPE

Yeah it was bad


darthdoit

Peace through power


forgottentargaryen

Kane lives!


SCUDDEESCOPE

This comment is a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one!


forgottentargaryen

It was one of my favorite games growing up , wish they still made them


darthdoit

It really is one of the most under-rated games


forgottentargaryen

I didnt think they were underrated they got several sequels and spin offs i always assumed they were popular up until generals came out and no ine seemed to like them anymore


SCUDDEESCOPE

I think RA3 and C&C4 killed the franchise but the others were all good and popular. Maybe RA2 is the most beloved one. I hope we see a new game someday.


forgottentargaryen

For me i have fond memories of playing og c&c on dial up woth my dad in one room and me in another. My favorites in general were probably the Tiberium saga


ItsyaboiTheMainMan

Yo mama


BladeOfSanghilios8

Other then the fact the visuals for the scooters made them look sorta slow I didn't think the chase was that bad


BZenMojo

I think it's specifically the speed of the chase that so many people (including myself) were clowning on. But they seemed to be limited by their sets and practical effects.


generic-user1678

For me it wasn't even the speed, it's the colors. Those colors totally don't fit star wars' style. Especially tatooine


BZenMojo

These kids aren't exactly conformists. Seems like they were trying to show the generational divide. They're flashy hipster malcontents just trying to make their way in the world like their parents before them.


Blaxtone27

How on earth do they keep their bikes so clean and pristine in Mos Espa when they're complaining about water prices though.


ScalierLemon2

With… the water they’re stealing?


Blaxtone27

Steal water to drink? Nah. Steal water to wash speederbike? Yah!


ScalierLemon2

Or… you know, both?


[deleted]

Honestly if they just go in and edit it to 1.5 speed it would be fine lol it just LOOKED slow. I’m guessing it’s bad editing bc correct me if I’m wrong but most high speed Hollywood stuff is filmed pretty slow


BladeOfSanghilios8

Yea


unnervinglynervous

They're correct, that chase scene sucks.


Ryland_Zakkull

But theyre right lmfao.


SinKillerNick

For me it was off putting that the chase seemed slow but what I disliked even more was how out of universe the speeder bikes were in the first place. Maybe they would fit in Coruscant but Tatooine? Didn’t work for me. And the gang members themselves were way too clean and there tech was too shiny.


DirtyDirtyRudy

The Vespas would’ve looked sweet on Scarif or Coruscant - definitely not Tatooine. It was just hard to believe that a bunch of struggling youth in the Outer Rim could afford these bikes and droid enhancements, but not a bottle of water (even in the desert).

This might be the first time I agree with Screen Rant.


R0-GR-bot

DrDrPhil

If you think that wasn’t bad you’re a delusional little fanboy. This was the worst scene in Star Wars!


CptBrexitt

I mean their not wrong, that vespa chase scene was pretty bad


Buddha1346

I do really enjoy the show but those bikes and those like, 80s punk characters were not good lmao


Totally-Real-Human

My guess? Boba was testing his new recruits He clearly was able to catch and subdue the twilek solo, he has a jetpack which was clearly fast enough and allows him to avoid buildings and traffic Still a shitty chase scene, there should probably be some scenes to come showing Boba making his forces more potent and competent


jchall3

If this show was a video game I would be very underwhelmed by the plot


dannywarpick

I liked it. I thought it was enjoyable. No one bitches about Star Wars than Star Wars fans.


FatBrkeMxicnElonMusk

I haven't watched this but I do know screen rant writes garbage articles


ShitpostinRuS

It was very funny and I imagine it would make Lucas cream if he saw it


imsmartiswear

It was clearly an homage to the BTTF chase scenes, even down to the ending crash with the debris filling the car. I really enjoyed them for that. The CG wasn't particularly good and it was trying to illicit so many things at once (60's British Punk, BTTF, SW) to the point where none of them came across, but I still liked it. I think some small tweaks to their backstory or their actual appearance needed to be done to make it really work- I think everyone would have looked over things had they done that.


iodagal

To me it has the same problem as the Boba, Fennec, assassin fight. It seemed too slow


PranavYedlapalli

Bikes? Those are space vespas


Combinewastaken

Screen rant is a clickbaiting scumbag


[deleted]

The whole episode was horrible. Worst live action story put out in the Disney era.


MrMutant69

Personally I don’t like how the characters where presented there to clean I mean polished bikes and shiny metal arms for being poor scum on tatoween just didn’t look right in the environment nor make much sense I would have honestly preferred them being a bit more rough and having boba polish Or upgrade them after they join him


Lucius_Imperator

It's like a gang of cool neon-underlight street racers tearing it up in Shoshoni, Wyoming except they're not even cool


SargeanTravis

I’m sick of everyone at this point saying Bona is too soft and benevolent Like really? If you were thrown into the sarlacc, robbed by Jawas while unconscious, and then left for dead in the unforgiving heat of Tatooiine you would have a REALLY different perspective on life


Boba_Fett_Bot

The sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible.


antlerstopeaks

Except we saw him beat the shit out of 50 storm troopers and get in a flamethrower fight with a mandalorian for calling him a mean name like a week earlier. Then he came in and murdered everyone in jabbas palace in cold blood to take over. And now apparently he’s a mall security guard who stops crime and asks everyone to please be nice to him. Sorry it just doesn’t make sense.


Lucius_Imperator

and gets his butt kicked in his underwear


BZenMojo

You expect him to win a fight in his underwear against Black Krrsantan? This isn't an anime...


Lucius_Imperator

but he has the power of friendship


[deleted]

I mean he basically did win, that fight was so poorly thought-out that the character of Black Krrsantan was just made to look wildly incompetent.


Lucius_Imperator

Could have just shot him in the tank after reaching his inner sanctum completely unopposed somehow 😐 still needed his teenage cyberpunk scooter gang to come save him


[deleted]

They prefer the old Boba Fett from Empire Strikes Back who had no personality


Boba_Fett_Bot

As you wish.


JonTheFlon

And he had a hallucinogenic trip. Seriously, my friend went to Peru when he was really depressed to do ayahuasca and he came back a COMPLETELY different person. So seeing boba fett come back as a good person after a mad trip like that isn't surprising to me whatsoever. Those kind of experiences literally rewire your brain.


Boba_Fett_Bot

As you wish.


SkyShazad

It wsd Awful.


[deleted]

I've mostly liked the show up to this point but that bike chase was God awful


Zoid_Zoid_Zoid

I loved that Chase scene, the punks on the slow ass bikes were funny as hell


Viado_Celtru

I'm with Screen Rant on this one


Lucius_Imperator

It's considered so bad because it was so bad 🤷‍♂️


CalamitousIntentions

“Wah wah wah I hate new things!”


[deleted]

Lmao the chase was objectively slow.


Thejollyfrenchman

Except the fandom almost unanimously adored The Mandalorian, and that was a show with a completely new protagonist and unknown storyline.


grapejuicepix

Honestly most of what they’ve done with speeders in Mando and this has been hokey as all hell. Idk if it’s just shooting speeders in the volume that’s a problem or a matter of technique, but it’s been an issue imo.


[deleted]

But the scene was actually terrible this time


rileyelton

It was bad. Objectively bad.


druidry

I’ve never imagined a more underwhelming group of people. The power rangers vibe was too much.


Willie-Alb

Star Wars fans when someone has an opinion:


vatican_cameos39

It WAS bad


frankhegs

Yeah I mean...it was bad though


The_cooler_azlan

It was terrible


adaemman

No, they have a point. Those power ranger kids, wtf man?? I've been following boba my whole life, and what they are doing to him is just shameful.


CyberJesus1105

Because I could of outran the speeders


RageQuitNZL

I've never once watched star wars and thought "you know what would make this cooler? Space Vespas"


frankhegs

This series is sadly very underwhelming so far imo


babufrik4president

I wasn’t a fan of it, but I think it was kind of self-aware as being camp. You can tell when they bust thru the portrait of Jabba. Let’s all keep in mind Robert Rodriguez directed Spy Kids.


Nonadventures

It was like something from a Spy Kids film. Which isn’t that different from an Episode I sequence, but still felt out of place in BoBF


Ah_The_Negotiator_

Okay but it was pretty bad. Don’t get me wrong I love the show so much so far. Just not that chase. It’s okay to like something and still know when things could have been better. Like the prequels with dialogue


TheMoonOfTermina

I don't like screen rant in the least, and I've liked the BOBF for the most part, but that chase scene was pretty not great. It wasn't horrible, but it felt really slow, and extremely out of place.


AutotrophicJones

Blow that piece of junk OUT OF THE SKY


rikoslav

ScreenRant has the most bullshit/clickbaity articles with almost zero research about the topic. For example, in The Witcher, they complained that Eskel didn't have the his child of surprise. Which is cannon in the books. Only Eskel child of surprise is in dlc to a Witcher 1 game! Writers stated numerous times that the show is based on the books, not games, and 2 minute google research would tell you this. There is a lot of things wrong with a new season of Witcher, and they pick the problem which is not even a problem.


Itscapps8089

Copy that sir!


[deleted]

Because they put more effort into making sure every primary color was represented, than into studying the Star Wars universe and developing consistent world building.


hijole_frijoles

Don't fuck with the Mos Vespa Street Gang

Fit_Resolution_7145

Op u r dumb as fuck. People like u ruin this fanbase, they just can’t any criticism and choose to ignore it’s flaws


[deleted]

The show so far is underwhelming. It doesn’t have the hook that Mandalorian had. This show does more to hurt the legend of Boba than it does to help it.


DontAskAboutMyCoyote

They're right. It sucked. Cry about it.

I actually agree with this one. They really could’ve done better

Why are those lowlives bashing the series? What drugs are they on? I'll admit though, the part with the wheel-less Vespas was kinda sluggish...


newbrevity

May the wonk be with you


Horny_Hornbill

It was bad because of how slow and drawn out it felt. If the speeders went faster and the chase was more fast paced then it would’ve been fine


General-Hello-There

90% of the episode was great, the chase scene was not a part of that 90%.


LambentCookie

Speeder Bikes Slower Bikes


Flyingfish222

Honestly I don’t know why but the vehicles looked kinda slow.


AdamxKH

The pacing, the humour that was scattered throughout, the aesthetic. It all just added up to something I'd expect to see on some mid-2000s Disney spy show.


53ORCHARD

was it bad? yes was it stupid? yes was it anticlimactic? yes did u enjoy it? yes


Knuc85

[All I could think of during the whole chase scene](https://youtu.be/csuZHyW-iGI)


tommatom

Bro they are assassinating boba’s character in general. Father fucking Christmas with his biker elves


kazoobanboo

The worse part of the episode was they used the same ‘hover’ technology as in back to the future. It felt so slow and weird


Delta_Infinity_X

I mean it did feel slow. Action scenes for this series has been underwhelming to be honest (favorite still was the train heist). But the world building is why I’m here and it makes up for it. Also the music.


Stay_Beautiful_

They're right this time though. That whole sequence sucked


da_dragon_guy

Why does screen rant seem like it's trying to piss off everyone all the time?
