The long piece the Jawas brought Mando is the same thing Han, Luke, and Leia used to stop the trash compactor on the Death Star.

It's going to be a twist next week and the "muscle" will be Grogu in full Mandalorian Combat armor.

Great Mando episode. Good background info. Filling in the universe. Can't wait for the next season.

It seems they have no vision for the Fett series.

ETA: I did enjoy someone struggling with a lightsaber for once.

Definitely a different vibe to the Mando and Fett series... set design, costume, dialogue is all just more gritty in Mando. Suits the universe better. Maybe this is a good corner-turn for Fett and the whole series will be that way from here on out.

I would like to know more about why the Dark Saber feels heavy.

However I fully expect this series to be back on track next week when bobba saves an orphanage, takes his helmet off, pulls the cigar from his mouth, smiles and turns to the camera and says....no disintegrations.

As someone who just recently binged Mandalorian S2 for the first time, this was a welcome surprise.

But that was the premiere of Mandalorian S3, why bother calling it a BoBF episode?

After the n-1, the pod race track, the spinning, and the wizard reference, I was convinced the end credits would start with: Written by Brian Earl Spilner

Watched the first half before volunteer duties at school and spoiled the hell out of some 4th graders about the grogu references while telling my daughter.

I cannot believe some people here are actually complaining. We get a terrible show for four straight episodes, yet a small handful of people manage to get somewhat annoyed when the awesome fifth episode doesn't focus on the terrible characters, and instead gives us an entire episode of the show we love, a whole year before we were even expecting it. Those same people just want to get back to the terrible show, as to not break the consistency of its terribleness. In other words, they're essentially complaining that something wasn't *completely* bad, which I find hilarious, confounding, and depressing.

Has this season been all over the place? No doubt. But at this point we should take what we can get. The hope for any kind of coherency or consistency has long passed.

I built the N1 out of legos as a kid. I was giddy throughout that whole sequence. Hopes it get a killer black paint job

I mean I agree, but 95% of reactions have been extremely positive.

Everyone liked the episode. We are lamenting the lost opportunity for the Fett series so far.

Which is fine. Just seemed odd to focus on the "negative" reviews.

Right. Which is why I said a "small handful" and "somewhat annoyed."
Brian Earl Spilner

Right. That's my point, two people among many.

Plus the criticism is valid anyway, it's a Boba Fett show and the best episode by far is one that doesn't involve him.

I will say, it was kind of hilarious that A) we've reached the point where Tatooine - an apparently remote/harsh/lawless planet - now receives crowded, commercial flights, and that B) Fennec's sly "If you know where to look" comment, re: muscle, basically just involved asking the crazy lady at the local spaceport if she'd heard from her friend lately.

I've liked all three of her episodes. I know there's some on here that don't but they've been really strong stories beginning to end.

I'd be in favor of giving BDH a movie.

How about those k2 units reenacting terminator while razing mandalore? With the probe droids behind them pointing the way?

That was awesome. There are good homages and bad homages and that was definitely a good one.

The first X-wing pilot was Luke's body double in Mando S2.

There's only like four X-wing pilots in the whole galaxy.

Amazing episode....is it a coincedence that the Mandalorian has good action sequences and Book of Boba Fett does not, while Mando has his helmet on and Boba Fett for some reason never does?
