Much better episode, I hope the last 3 make up for the bad start.
Btw, his female counterpart is a terrible actress. I either laugh or cringe anytime she says anything.
Yea, Slave One making it's attack approach in the background was a sweet shotCinco Ranch Aggie said:
Last night's episode was another meh. Had its moments, but like everyone else seems to be saying, this series is just not working per the established standards for Star Wars.
One complaint I have is that they seem to be bringing in familiar Earth stuff to this. Such as the establishment that Fett took the injured gal to be worked on. My first impression was, what is this a tattoo parlor? They even had a black fellow with dreadlocks and some gal getting worked on.
I do agree on some level that Jennifer Beals' place does not necessarily have to be a place of scum and villainy, but she feels a bit out of place. She's supposed to be a Twi'lek, but she looks like the hottie that she is just wearing a headpiece.
The two things I've enjoyed the most in this series was the Lawrence of Arabia scene when the Tuskens attacked the train, and last night when Boba strafed the speeder bikes with the SLAVE ONE (f'you to anyone who thinks that name should be changed, it will always be SLAVE ONE).

The character is stale. I'm not sure if it is her or the writing.
He ripped the Trandoshan's arm off b/c they are known tom hunt Wookiees. Hence as he got drunker, he got angrier watching the Trandoshans having fun and being loud. Also, the Trandoshan in question will be fine as they can regrow appendages that they lose, like certain reptiles.cbr said:

I'm with you. It had a couple eye-rolling parts (like the slow speed Vespa chase) but other than that my wife and I are having a lot of fun watching this and look forward to every Wednesday night.Quote:
Honestly I am loving the show. I get some of the issues with it but to me, it's fun and great for expanding the criminal element of the SW Universe.

Am I the only person who had no idea who Jennifer Beals is? Everyone keeps talking about her like she's Jennifer Anniston but looking at her CV Flashdance and Book of Eli looked like the only two things I've heard of.
Or you could say Flashbactadance...maroon barchetta said:ChipFTAC01 said:

If you saw Flashdance back in the day then you know. She was a big deal.

I don't know who she is, but I do know her cleavage was probably the best part of the episode.

So why didn't they just drop the little scanner ball into the sarlacc pit?

Additionally, in the 1st episode they showed one of the leader Trandoshans offering Boba some Wookie fur that I assume they hunted and skinned.Capitol Ag said:He ripped the Trandoshan's arm off b/c they are known tom hunt Wookiees.

Since Black Krrsantan has worked with Boba before and Boba released him, he wouldn't have much of a beef against Boba.

It's going to be a twist next week and the "muscle" will be Grogu in full Mandalorian Combat armor.TCTTS said:
Since I couldn't remember exactly where the characters left off, save for Luke/Grogu, in preparation for next week's Boba episode I rewatched a good chunk of the Mando S2 finale, for the first time since it originally aired, and man does it make Boba feel claustrophobic in comparison. It still had the same, stilted dialogue I remember, but the space travel, the ships, the planet hopping, the action… it all just makes Boba feel so small and contained and just not Star Warsy at all. That said, it'd be cool if we get at least a little of that back next week and actually follow Mando from wherever he is to Tatooine, but I doubt they go that route (no pun intended).
I also rewatched the official behind-the-scenes piece for Andor, which features a bit of footage, but a ton of set building and concept art and that show is going to dwarf everything so far in terms of scale, scope, and cinematography. It just looks so massive and movie-like and I can't wait.
I said this to my wife too. "If only they had some kind of autonomous scanning device for this exact situation. They definitely didn't just one IN THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THIS ONE."Brian Earl Spilner said:

Overall, I did think it was a better episode. It felt like it could have been episode 1. They still could have worked in the Tusken back story.
And, Jennifer Beals... thank you for your contributions to the Star Wars universe.Jennifer Beals em The Book Of Boba Fett pic.twitter.com/lIwRjd7P6d
