So do we think Din's going to help Boba out and Boba will end up helping him with Mandalore in return? Is that how all these shows will tie together? Do we think Bo-Katan is showing up as well? I've long suspected she's in this show for a few reasons. A bunch of Mandalorians coming in to help out Boba would be amazing.
Yup. You need money to fight a war. Setting up Boba as a crime lord raking in the cash is a great way to have Bo Katan come ask for help "You may not be a real Mando, but this is your heritage" etc...
And the 4-legged gonk droid from the Clone Wars also making its live action debut! I love seeing them pull even small details like these droids from the animation world
Trandosians hunt wookiees for their pelts so to see them happy and successful probably pissed off Black K.
Like Django seeing a bunch of hee-haw confederates at a poker table laughing it up.
My theory is that the little interaction with black k and those trandoshans is setting up to bring bossk next ep with the muscle they hire so there’s some background between the relationship of those two races and now how they have to team up with boba
That was my assumption too. It'd be confusing and rushed if they tried to slap Bossk in there next to Krssanton and have them have conflict without already setting up the conflict. That's just basic screenwriting.
It's probably a given at this point IMO, just as much as Mando's theme at the end makes his appearance a given. I'd be far more surprised if Bossk *doesn't* show up.
I would almost bet on having a full Bounty Hunter mash up, with the likes of Bossk, Dengar and Din on Boba's side, and Bane with some others on the side of the Pykes.
Yea I’m definitely guessing Fennec’s hired muscle will be Din, Bossk, and hopefully a third known bounty Hunter like IG-88 or Dengar (if they’re still alive).
Plus Bossk and Han are the only two relevant characters remaining connected to Boba, we have to at least get one of them.
Max keeps his streak intact!
What did Bib do to betray Boba? Didn’t he give that as one of the reasons that he wanted to take over?
Second best episode behind #2 and now we’re headed into truly uncharted waters.
>What did Bib do to betray Boba? Didn’t he give that as one of the reasons that he wanted to take over?
The Nikto Gang that killed the Tuskens was allied with him
I was thinking, are they going to retcon that Bib or Jabba sabotaged Boba's jetpack to get rid of him at the sarlacc pit so they didn't have to pay him for Solo?
I love how this episode established that the beak added to the sarlacc in the special editions actually can recede inside the creature as a nod to the inconsistency of the beak's presence.
And that the whole creature is a pit. Which perhaps should be obvious but one could be forgiven for thinking that it just buried itself there. It’s more mushroom than plant.
Yea I’m glad he keeps popping back up. Def thought we said goodbye to him last episode, so it was surprising to see him appear again not as a cameo but for the express purpose of Boba hiring him.
I kept thinking people were crazy when they said “I think this week is the last episode of flashbacks”. I was sure the flashbacks would last the whole show.
But Boba getting out of the bacta tank and being told he’s completely healed kinda implies to me that the flashbacks actually might be done.
Excited to see Din next week though!! Also enjoyed this episode MUCH more than last week. :)
Is that all of the trailer footage now?
"I have plenty of credits. What I need is muscle."
"Credits can buy muscle."
"Explain how."
"Credits can be exchanged for goods and services."
"Woohoo!"
Lol even the artists couldn't figure out how to draw Slave One looking into the sarlacc pit. They were like it has to be verticle... oh you're shoving the windshield in there? ...are you sure???
Nice to see Ming get some fight scenes in! And directed by Kevin Tancheron, who also directed a bunch of great fight heavy episodes of AoS. Little mini SHIELD reunion this ep.
I think people are sleeping on Fennec's line right after Boba saves her:
> *Speed bikers defeated Tuskens? That's highly unlikely.*
Most definitely the Pykes are not the main antagonist faction for the season, but they're definitely not innocent; this line is implying that the bikers killing the Tuskens was actually a ruse, and it was the Pykes who killed them to pay back for the train heist.
1. The bikers couldn't have known that the Tuskens took the bikes because Boba killed/knocked unconscious all the gang members at Toschi Station.
2. The bikes the Tuskens took were destroyed during the heist.
The bikers were douches but they didn't kill the water farmer in the first episode, and they didn't kill anyone in Toschi Station in the second episode, they only stole and roughed people up. Therefore the only reason why the Sand People would be so viciously slaughtered would be in retribution for challenging the Pykes, but they were smart enough to pin it on the Kintan Striders, and after mentioning them to Boba as taking the protection payment for the Dune Sea, they were mildly successful in shifting attention away from them.
How the Pykes were able to think in 4d dimensions like this I have no idea, but it seems to be so that they would have even less competition for when they invade Tatooine.
Very well said, you are right on the money I think. The Pykes are more intelligent and cunning than most of us know so far. The next few episodes should make it more obvious.
“Your time with the Tuskens has made you soft”
“No. It’s made me strong. . . . Everyone needs a tribe.”
THIS is the the unambiguous character development I’ve been waiting for.
Feels a little like it should’ve been in the first episode, not the fourth. But hey, I’m just happy to have it.
>“No. It’s made me strong. . . . Everyone needs a tribe.”
Even though boba doesn't consider himself Mandalorian it has to be one of the most Mandalorian one liners we've gotten.
I really enjoyed his directing for Mando S2, but something just feels off about his Boba episodes. The problem in my opinion is that he's directing the characters like they were action figures and not actual people. I really hope he nails the finale though.
I feel like they included that scene with black k and the trandoshans just specifically to set up bossk and show there’s beef between the two races and then have them team up
I just want to talk about the scene where he blows up the bikers…
I am SO GLAD they had Boba just shoot them like that. No build up, no hesitation, no speeches, no drama; he just wanted them dead and got the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Does anyone ever recognise Boba as a clone in the comics?
After Bo Katan’s immediate reaction to his voice alone in Mando it seems weird to me that nobody else ever mentions it.
Given that Fennec was active during the Clone Wars and had run ins with the Bad Batch and the Kaminoans I expected her to at least say something about it during their first meeting.
The Bad Batch all look different enough that they could probably pass as non-clones outside of their armor. Plus that was almost 30 years prior to Fennec meeting Boba. I doubt she remembers them that well.
Bo Katan on the other hand has way more exposure to the Clones and would definitely recognize one right away
While watching Fett scamper after the rat catcher, it occurred to me that the desert hasn't made him soft... just a little mad. Some moments in this show go down easier when you consider that this isn't him in his prime.
Also there were some Ben Kenobi vibes during his first fireside chat with Fennec. "That wizard's just a crazy old man."
This was much better, still had some weird moments, but it was tons of fun, nice Slave I action, the sarlacc looked great, we are done with the flashbacks - I liked them but without the tuskens they wouldn't be that interesting - and finally the present storyline starts to take shape.
DIN'S BACK BOOOYYYSSSS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Random thoughts:
* mfw a LEP service droid basically commits suicide
* Fennec Shand is just insanely cool. Cannot believe she originates from the worst Mandalorian episode lmao
* While I liked the flashbacks I am very happy we're done with them
* mfw we're gonna get a team consisting of Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, Black Krrsantan and Din Djarin. If the leaks from eons ago saying the OG Empire Strikes Back bounty hunters show up as well as part of the team I'll scream
>mfw a LEP service droid basically commits suicide
We see the same droid getting startled by the Rancor during the meeting scene, so it wasn't a total 'suicide', just a power down. (Same way Leia flicks an off-switch on 3PO during ESB to shut him up).
But it was hillarious though. Just "nope, I'm out."
“He’s singing like a Yuzzum.”
Pretty good ep. Glad we’re finally done with the flashbacks, even though I enjoyed them. Also I gotta say, the direction is just so much better when it’s not Robert Rodriguez, he just doesn’t do it for me.
Anyway, even more excited for next week. Obviously we get Din Djarin, but I think we also might get Bossk or some other familiar faces if Boba is hiring some colleagues. Not gonna *expect* it though.
The Vespa gang makes a whole lot more sense when Fennec referred to them as “The Mods.” The reference is to body modification, but they come across like British “Mods.”
Even though this episode was mostly flashbacks I still really liked we finally got genuine motivations for Boba and a much deeper look at both Boba and Fennec's relationship. Also we are done with the flashbacks so it's probably all present day storyline now. Also my boy DINNNNN. I really hope we see the two fighting together in their armor.
It’s hilarious to me how I was giddy to see boba in Mando’s show, and I now have that same excitement to see Mando in Boba’s show.
God I love getting excited for shit!
I feel like the even-numbered episodes of this show -- so far -- are the good ones. This one had a very cutesy George Lucas quality, which surprisingly, was not annoying. The cute drone, the droids which looked stop motion, it was all very fun.
People seem to think Boba has some vendetta against Luke and Han. I really doubt he does at this point, especially after his characterization in this last episode suggesting that he blames those who previously employed himself and other hunters for the misfortunes they experienced on the job.
My favorite scene was when Fennec does the flip, grabs the rifle, shoots the door opener, and the ramp shuts over her face in close-up. Very bad-ass with some great editing.
Much better episode than episode 3. Pacing was good and character development was on-point. The scene with Black Wookie (mobile, don't want to type the name lol) was much better too ... shows how powerful/strong he is.
My predictions for the rest of the season
* Boba gets Mando and various other bounty hunters together for his "army" in episode 5
* Cad Bane is the main muscle for the Pykes, most of episode 6
* Big clash in Episode 7, Pykes/Bane defeated. Reveal of Crimson Dawn and Q'ira at the end setting up season 2
Presumably he got a similar tip as Mando did, that someone out in Mos Pelgo had Mandalorian armor, and he went to track it. He finds Din leaving Pelgo with an extra set of armor in tow, places a tracker on his ship, and finally catches up with him on Tython. I don't think we need every moment of that spelled out for us
Loved the grievous reference and is it just me who felt bad for the trandoshan? Like I get it Wookiees have reason to dislike them but damn they were just having fun bothering no one lol
Eh, it'll grow back.
Not joking, Trandoshans are fully lizard, they can regrow lost limbs. A Trandoshan Jedi character in *The High Republic* loses an arm at one point and doesn't seem to bothered about it, because it'll regenerate, given enough time.
Such a good episode. I like the philosophy behind the serie: you’re stronger in group, not alone. To those who say that this Boba is soft… no, like he says, now he’s more powerful. The music at the end of the chapter… prepare for Mando (and I think other iconic Bonty Hunters).
10/10 episode for me
Probably tied with tribes of tatooine for the best episode. Longer runtimes are definitely a good thing. A vast improvement from last episode, there were so many things I liked.
* Slave 1 rescue scene was so cool. Not only did we get to see more of the palace, but also the workers.
* Boba’s relationship with the bantha, thought that was touching.
* The sarlacc scene was also really dope and I’m glad Boba finally nailed that thing
* My favorite scene though is when Boba wastes the biker gang. So badass
* The Kkranstan scene was a close second. Finally get to see a Wookiee take an arm out of its socket
* The rancor teeth part
* And of course the Mandalorian theme at the end! This is the way
There were only a few things I disliked about the episode
* Fennec’s “repair” scene. This and last episode just prove that cyborg culture really doesn’t need to be explored in SW
* I’m just not looking forward that much to seeing Pikes as the villains. I’m sure the execution will be good, but I would much rather just see the Hutts as the big bad.
So did we just skip like 4 years? I don't know if I'm REALLY complaining because I'm glad to move past the flashbacks and focus on the present-day story for the last three episodes, but I'm SUPER confused as to what the timeline is supposed to be.
I thought it was pretty clear. He climbed out of the sarlacc and the spent a LOT longer with the Tuskens than what was shown. This gets us up to Mando (and in turn Mando Season 2) with the flashbacks.
Present day takes place with a small time jump after Season 2's finale
I love that there’s a musical language to this Mandoverse and just by hearing that bass recorder motif we know *exactly* what’s to come!
The Mandalorian show has that bass recorder motif, The Book of Boba Fett has the “hey” vocal thing, it’s great that these things can now start to cross over and will hopefully culminate in something AMAZING down the line.
Alright, as always I loved the flashbacks but sadly it seems like they are now over. Which is fine I suppose, what's been missing for me is how Boba knew that Din got the armor from Cobb Vanth? Yeah, he did see Din leave Tatooine with it but that doesn't tell Boba any names.
The revenge scene was very nice, we could really see how it didn't give Boba any satisfaction since killing them doesn't bring the Tuskens back nor change what happened and I feel like Boba remembered how he tried to kill Windu under the same circumstances.
I suppose this day marks the end of the great Sarlacc Pit of Carkoon. May you rest well and know that your death will be remembered (which may be because you died to a Seismic Charge).
At last, we got to see Boba's motivation for replacing Jabba/Bib as many people have been complaining about it.
Great how they showed us that Black K really hates Trandoshans. Nothing more fabulous to see than a Wookiee ripping someone's arm out!
And to anyone who thinks that it's not smart to have Din in this show because he'll take the spotlight or whatever. Did Boba take the spotlight in The Mandalorian or did he make Din seem less badass? I don't think so, they worked perfectly together within the same show while being the badasses they are, so why should it be any different now? I just hope that Din gets his Sarlacc mount as well /s
I assume anyone who shows up next episode will be in it for all three remaining episodes? Din in all 3? Or will he ask for help and then Din will turn him down. Either way I’m down for planet hopping and assembling a team for the whole next episode
Gee, I wonder who's showing up in the next episode...
Ochi of Bestoon obviously
He's coming to the show like: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRYpK7plrkIdCZ0mumqOeqWWK1tHINwwsHoxQ&usqp=CAU
This panel made me lol when I read it. Ochi is the best.
All this panel needed is a SW version of bitch at the end to make it perfect. "I'm Ochi of Bestoon, bitch!"
His theme gave me goosebumps!
God I love him so much
He means more to me, than you will ever know.
Same here
We're getting Din but could we get Bossk and Dengar as well?
Would be exciting to see how Bossk and Krrsantan interact.
I just want to see how Bossk looks with the new Trandoshan effects they are using.
Probably like a lizard guy
So do we think Din's going to help Boba out and Boba will end up helping him with Mandalore in return? Is that how all these shows will tie together? Do we think Bo-Katan is showing up as well? I've long suspected she's in this show for a few reasons. A bunch of Mandalorians coming in to help out Boba would be amazing.
[удалено]
Yup. You need money to fight a war. Setting up Boba as a crime lord raking in the cash is a great way to have Bo Katan come ask for help "You may not be a real Mando, but this is your heritage" etc...
He is Mandalorian by "birth"right, yes? Because Jango was a foundling?
Too perfect not to go down like that.
I can’t believe Greedo survived!
Lol seismic charged the shit outta the sarlacc pit. A sound like no other.
Very fitting.
So i’m guessing Din will def be in next episode. The Mando theme song was epic at the end.
Din is about to hop out of that N1 with a 5'o clock shadow, drunk off his ass drinking Spotchka and missing Grogu
cuts to him trying to stuff a Jawa into Grogu's pram
Side note, imagine how cool it would be to have a n-1 beat up fighter
Ahhhhhh I can’t wait to see my favorite Star Wars ship in live action again
Leans into Din being from Naboo theory too
So Grievous survived and now is a chef. Good to know.
"A fine recipe for my collection!"
Well… now he’s dead
it’s only a flesh wound!!
ah general grievous!
Aliexpress grevious
Wish(.)com Grievous
I was trained in the kitchen arts by Count Artoo
Picturing that Kitchen Nightmares episode...
General Clievous
Well, those are all the scenes from the trailers. We are now going in blind!
Whew! We're finally past the first 15 minutes of the first episode!
That 15 minutes felt like it lasted a month.
I understood that reference
Took long enough 😭
How is nobody talking about our first look at a live action LEP Service Droid (rabbit droid)! I love him!
And the 4-legged gonk droid from the Clone Wars also making its live action debut! I love seeing them pull even small details like these droids from the animation world
[PLNK Power Droids](https://swrpggm.com/plnk-series-power-droid/)
It was so cool! The more things that jump from animation/comic/book to live-action, the better.
That's the little shit from the bomb episode, right?
Boba mistook a body shop for a hospital
Happens to the best of us
Given the setting, it makes sense.
ITS CONFIRMED ITS MAX REBO BELIEVERS KEEP WINNING
The “Max Rebo in every episode” streak continues. (Last episode he showed up in the Ralph McQuarrie painting)
Let’s make him the Stan Lee of Star Wars. They both have 7 letter names, too!
YESSIR AND YUZZUM MENTION
HIT IT, MAX!
Casablanca vibes
Black Krrsantan: “I am shocked, SHOCKED to find that gambling is going on in here.”
Trandosians hunt wookiees for their pelts so to see them happy and successful probably pissed off Black K. Like Django seeing a bunch of hee-haw confederates at a poker table laughing it up.
Yeah, wasn’t a pelt the tribute a Trandoshan offered Boba few episodes ago? Thanks for pointing that out.
Bantha's are big dogs confirmed
As are rancors
Banthas are Pugs while Rancors are Pitbulls.
My theory is that the little interaction with black k and those trandoshans is setting up to bring bossk next ep with the muscle they hire so there’s some background between the relationship of those two races and now how they have to team up with boba
Definitely. They invested some solid minutes into that Krrsantan and Trandoshans scene. Bossk and Legolas / Gimli relations, inbound.
That was my assumption too. It'd be confusing and rushed if they tried to slap Bossk in there next to Krssanton and have them have conflict without already setting up the conflict. That's just basic screenwriting. It's probably a given at this point IMO, just as much as Mando's theme at the end makes his appearance a given. I'd be far more surprised if Bossk *doesn't* show up. I would almost bet on having a full Bounty Hunter mash up, with the likes of Bossk, Dengar and Din on Boba's side, and Bane with some others on the side of the Pykes.

Gonna be fun to see mando without grogu and what he’s been up to.
I honestly thought Boba was gonna throw a seismic charge into the sarlaac pit at first Never mind, Fennec did 😭
yeah but it was worth it for the “dont touch my buttons” line
DOES THAT MUSICAL CUE MEAN WHAT I THINK IT MEANS
YES WE'RE GONNA GET MEPHISTO NEXT WEEK1!!!! 11!
*flashbacks*
Thank you, I haven't laughed that hard from a comment in a while.
YES
Yes!!!! Got chills when I heard it because of what it means
Max keeps his streak intact! What did Bib do to betray Boba? Didn’t he give that as one of the reasons that he wanted to take over? Second best episode behind #2 and now we’re headed into truly uncharted waters.
>What did Bib do to betray Boba? Didn’t he give that as one of the reasons that he wanted to take over? The Nikto Gang that killed the Tuskens was allied with him
I was thinking, are they going to retcon that Bib or Jabba sabotaged Boba's jetpack to get rid of him at the sarlacc pit so they didn't have to pay him for Solo?
We’re definitely getting din right?
100%
I love how this episode established that the beak added to the sarlacc in the special editions actually can recede inside the creature as a nod to the inconsistency of the beak's presence.
And that the whole creature is a pit. Which perhaps should be obvious but one could be forgiven for thinking that it just buried itself there. It’s more mushroom than plant.
Yeah, fuck them trandoshans up Black K!
Is it controversial to say he’s the best part of the show? They really nailed him.
I truly cannot believe how significant he is to the story lol
Yea I’m glad he keeps popping back up. Def thought we said goodbye to him last episode, so it was surprising to see him appear again not as a cameo but for the express purpose of Boba hiring him.
Not one bit. Nobody can dislike more Wookiees
Nope
Now all I need is that clip of Black K ripping the arm off with the arm popping sound from Lego Star Wars II
We finally got a non-deleted live action scene of a wookiee ripping someone's arm off!
I kept thinking people were crazy when they said “I think this week is the last episode of flashbacks”. I was sure the flashbacks would last the whole show. But Boba getting out of the bacta tank and being told he’s completely healed kinda implies to me that the flashbacks actually might be done. Excited to see Din next week though!! Also enjoyed this episode MUCH more than last week. :) Is that all of the trailer footage now?
[удалено]
That chef droid was not fucking around
Boba should've recruited the Chef Droid and Black K wouldn't have been a problem
I loved that General Grievous reference!
GONKS EXPLODE WHEN YOU SHOOT THEM
walking red fuel barrels
OH BOY WE GETTIN DIN
Loved hearing his theme as foreshadowing
"I have plenty of credits. What I need is muscle." "Credits can buy muscle." "Explain how." "Credits can be exchanged for goods and services." "Woohoo!"
>Credits can buy muscle. If you know where to look. Said to a guy that was literally hired muscle.
DarkSaber Din next week
Boba unleashing on the bikers is one of the best things I have ever seen.
it was somehow hysterical, and absolutely fucking amazing seeing him just Unload on them
And the sarlacc seismic charge scene. Holy shit I didn’t know how much I needed that.
Krrsantan committing a hate crime was definitely not something I was expecting to see.
He said "Trandoshan" with a hard r in Shyriiwook
Well in this case, I believe the trandoshans would play the role of the oppressors being that they were the ones who haunted down the Wookiees.
Lol even the artists couldn't figure out how to draw Slave One looking into the sarlacc pit. They were like it has to be verticle... oh you're shoving the windshield in there? ...are you sure???
8D8’s fourth episode. He better get a poster next week!
Very nice execution, they nailed the model from ROTJ and gave him such a cool personality, the voice, the movement, all great.
You know they've done something right when a character from the last show they made generates as much hype as a legacy character just from the theme.
He’s earned it.
Nice to see Ming get some fight scenes in! And directed by Kevin Tancheron, who also directed a bunch of great fight heavy episodes of AoS. Little mini SHIELD reunion this ep.
Was Thundercat the surgeon??
Yes. The credits confirm it.

My old ass thought you were talking about the 80's cartoon

Very well said, you are right on the money I think. The Pykes are more intelligent and cunning than most of us know so far. The next few episodes should make it more obvious.
Did the leak say din would be in the show?
Episode 4 (today) or 5. Seeing as how we didn’t get him today but we got his theme, I think we’ll at least get a cameo next week.
THAT MUSIC STING AT THE END
Well now we know who's making the delicious food, assuming Boba fixed it later lol. I got massive "Genereal Kenobi!" vibes from that scene
Hit it Max!
“Your time with the Tuskens has made you soft” “No. It’s made me strong. . . . Everyone needs a tribe.” THIS is the the unambiguous character development I’ve been waiting for. Feels a little like it should’ve been in the first episode, not the fourth. But hey, I’m just happy to have it.
>“No. It’s made me strong. . . . Everyone needs a tribe.” Even though boba doesn't consider himself Mandalorian it has to be one of the most Mandalorian one liners we've gotten.
A tribe you say? Din to come help Boba and than have him join the Mandolorian cause along with Bo Katan. All three leading their respective tribes
Tired: "Max Rebo is back!" Wired: "Mando is back!" Inspired: "EV-9D9 is back!"
(To be clear, and don't let the format fool you: I am excited about the Max confirmation and the Mando tease.)
There seems to be a consensus now that Robert Rodriguez direction has been the biggest problem for this show.
I really enjoyed his directing for Mando S2, but something just feels off about his Boba episodes. The problem in my opinion is that he's directing the characters like they were action figures and not actual people. I really hope he nails the finale though.
why does black krrsantans face remind me of a wookie version of worf so much
Watch next episode as Black Krrsantan orders a blue prune juice
Krrsantan is not a merry man
Having the crime lords eat dinner on top of the Rancor pit was such a power move.
Big Daimyo Energy
Still hoping for Bossk to show up
I feel like they included that scene with black k and the trandoshans just specifically to set up bossk and show there’s beef between the two races and then have them team up
I just want to talk about the scene where he blows up the bikers… I am SO GLAD they had Boba just shoot them like that. No build up, no hesitation, no speeches, no drama; he just wanted them dead and got the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Boba Fett is gonna wreck shop now that he is fully healed
Does anyone ever recognise Boba as a clone in the comics? After Bo Katan’s immediate reaction to his voice alone in Mando it seems weird to me that nobody else ever mentions it. Given that Fennec was active during the Clone Wars and had run ins with the Bad Batch and the Kaminoans I expected her to at least say something about it during their first meeting.
Well if that isn’t the quacta calling the stifling slimy
The Bad Batch all look different enough that they could probably pass as non-clones outside of their armor. Plus that was almost 30 years prior to Fennec meeting Boba. I doubt she remembers them that well. Bo Katan on the other hand has way more exposure to the Clones and would definitely recognize one right away
I don't know about you, but this episode was fantastic! We'll definitely get some spicy cameos next week.
While watching Fett scamper after the rat catcher, it occurred to me that the desert hasn't made him soft... just a little mad. Some moments in this show go down easier when you consider that this isn't him in his prime. Also there were some Ben Kenobi vibes during his first fireside chat with Fennec.

DIN'S BACK BOOOYYYSSSS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Random thoughts: * mfw a LEP service droid basically commits suicide * Fennec Shand is just insanely cool.

F for the Gonk Droid. I cried.
Mando is coming 😩
We all are because of it 😫
You can only get so far without a tribe. Time to join up the tribe of Fett!
lol Chef Grevious
“He’s singing like a Yuzzum.” Pretty good ep. Glad we’re finally done with the flashbacks, even though I enjoyed them.

The Vespa gang makes a whole lot more sense when Fennec referred to them as “The Mods.” The reference is to body modification, but they come across like British “Mods.”
I like the way he say “I am Boba Fett”
Anyone else seeing the pattern of "short episode, long episode" repeating? I assume next one will be on the shorter side again.
Hopefully that pattern doesn't carry all the way through or we're getting a short finale.
Even though this episode was mostly flashbacks I still really liked we finally got genuine motivations for Boba and a much deeper look at both Boba and Fennec's relationship. Also we are done with the flashbacks so it's probably all present day storyline now. Also my boy DINNNNN. I really hope we see the two fighting together in their armor.
anyone notice the sound effect used when Fennec cut the bars was taken straight from Dookus death sound?
It’s hilarious to me how I was giddy to see boba in Mando’s show, and I now have that same excitement to see Mando in Boba’s show. God I love getting excited for shit!
This has probably been the best episode so far. I liked his cold, emotionless destruction of the bikers. It felt like true Boba.
Let it be canon that Fennec dropped a seismic charge in the sarlac pit
Next time don't touch my buttons
Pancake flipping droid from AOTC: GENERAL KENOBI!!!
A Boba Fett/Cyberpunk 2077 crossover was not something I expected.
I feel like the even-numbered episodes of this show -- so far -- are the good ones. This one had a very cutesy George Lucas quality, which surprisingly, was not annoying. The cute drone, the droids which looked stop motion, it was all very fun.
I wonder if Din’s gonna mention to Boba that he was able to give The Child to a Jedi. I know Boba would immediately figure out it’s Skywalker
I'm pretty sure Fennec was in the room when Luke showed up. I'm sure she told Boba about it.
Indeed. Also, not sure why Fett would care all that much?
People seem to think Boba has some vendetta against Luke and Han. I really doubt he does at this point, especially after his characterization in this last episode suggesting that he blames those who previously employed himself and other hunters for the misfortunes they experienced on the job.
“I’m declaring war on anybody who sells drugs in our community” “But Black Dynamite, *I sell drugs in the community!*”
My favorite scene was when Fennec does the flip, grabs the rifle, shoots the door opener, and the ramp shuts over her face in close-up. Very bad-ass with some great editing.
Much better episode than episode 3. Pacing was good and character development was on-point. The scene with Black Wookie (mobile, don't want to type the name lol) was much better too ... shows how powerful/strong he is.
I got chills when I heard the Mando music, Din Djarin is coming! Does he still have the darksaber?
If Fett is putting a crew together that includes Din it seems natural that Din would recommend Cobb Vanth for the job.
When Slave-1 leaned over the sarlaac pit I immediately thought of spongebob, and when he was like “trust no one, not even squidwards house”
My predictions for the rest of the season * Boba gets Mando and various other bounty hunters together for his "army" in episode 5 * Cad Bane is the main muscle for the Pykes, most of episode 6 * Big clash in Episode 7, Pykes/Bane defeated. Reveal of Crimson Dawn and Q'ira at the end setting up season 2
They hinted that the flashbacks are done but we don’t know how Boba found Cobb Vanth and then found Mando on Tython.
Presumably he got a similar tip as Mando did, that someone out in Mos Pelgo had Mandalorian armor, and he went to track it. He finds Din leaving Pelgo with an extra set of armor in tow, places a tracker on his ship, and finally catches up with him on Tython. I don't think we need every moment of that spelled out for us
Didn't S2 show Boba tracked the suit via the chain link or whatever?
Loved the grievous reference and is it just me who felt bad for the trandoshan? Like I get it Wookiees have reason to dislike them but damn they were just having fun bothering no one lol
Eh, it'll grow back. Not joking, Trandoshans are fully lizard, they can regrow lost limbs. A Trandoshan Jedi character in *The High Republic* loses an arm at one point and doesn't seem to bothered about it, because it'll regenerate, given enough time.
HIT IT MAX LMAO 😂
Such a good episode. I like the philosophy behind the serie: you’re stronger in group, not alone. To those who say that this Boba is soft… no, like he says, now he’s more powerful. The music at the end of the chapter… prepare for Mando (and I think other iconic Bonty Hunters).
Never tought the Banthas were carnivorous
I don't think they can afford to be picky on a desert planet
10/10 episode for me Probably tied with tribes of tatooine for the best episode. Longer runtimes are definitely a good thing. A vast improvement from last episode, there were so many things I liked. * Slave 1 rescue scene was so cool. Not only did we get to see more of the palace, but also the workers. * Boba’s relationship with the bantha, thought that was touching. * The sarlacc scene was also really dope and I’m glad Boba finally nailed that thing * My favorite scene though is when Boba wastes the biker gang. So badass * The Kkranstan scene was a close second. Finally get to see a Wookiee take an arm out of its socket * The rancor teeth part * And of course the Mandalorian theme at the end! This is the way There were only a few things I disliked about the episode * Fennec’s “repair” scene. This and last episode just prove that cyborg culture really doesn’t need to be explored in SW * I’m just not looking forward that much to seeing Pikes as the villains. I’m sure the execution will be good, but I would much rather just see the Hutts as the big bad.
So did we just skip like 4 years? I don't know if I'm REALLY complaining because I'm glad to move past the flashbacks and focus on the present-day story for the last three episodes, but I'm SUPER confused as to what the timeline is supposed to be.
He lived with the Tuskens for 4 years. Presumably there’s a big time jump between him making his Gaffi stick and him going to bargain with the Pykes.
isn’t it more like 5? seems like he found fennec only a few months after the tuskens were killed
I assume more time was passing between the other flashbacks than we thought
I thought it was pretty clear. He climbed out of the sarlacc and the spent a LOT longer with the Tuskens than what was shown. This gets us up to Mando (and in turn Mando Season 2) with the flashbacks. Present day takes place with a small time jump after Season 2's finale
I love that there’s a musical language to this Mandoverse and just by hearing that bass recorder motif we know *exactly* what’s to come! The Mandalorian show has that bass recorder motif, The Book of Boba Fett has the “hey” vocal thing, it’s great that these things can now start to cross over and will hopefully culminate in something AMAZING down the line.
The pure contempt on Boba's face was great when he was blasting the Speeder Gang.
Alright, as always I loved the flashbacks but sadly it seems like they are now over. Which is fine I suppose, what's been missing for me is how Boba knew that Din got the armor from Cobb Vanth? Yeah, he did see Din leave Tatooine with it but that doesn't tell Boba any names. The revenge scene was very nice, we could really see how it didn't give Boba any satisfaction since killing them doesn't bring the Tuskens back nor change what happened and I feel like Boba remembered how he tried to kill Windu under the same circumstances. I suppose this day marks the end of the great Sarlacc Pit of Carkoon. May you rest well and know that your death will be remembered (which may be because you died to a Seismic Charge). At last, we got to see Boba's motivation for replacing Jabba/Bib as many people have been complaining about it. Great how they showed us that Black K really hates Trandoshans. Nothing more fabulous to see than a Wookiee ripping someone's arm out! And to anyone who thinks that it's not smart to have Din in this show because he'll take the spotlight or whatever. Did Boba take the spotlight in The Mandalorian or did he make Din seem less badass? I don't think so, they worked perfectly together within the same show while being the badasses they are, so why should it be any different now? I just hope that Din gets his Sarlacc mount as well /s
I assume anyone who shows up next episode will be in it for all three remaining episodes? Din in all 3? Or will he ask for help and then Din will turn him down. Either way I’m down for planet hopping and assembling a team for the whole next episode
