Star Wars The Book of Boba Fett

[giffler]

Not long enough..
Also that new bicycle gang… I dunno

I thought they had a bit of a back to the future 2 vibe to them

Was thinking the same thing with the chase ending with the guy covered in melons.

Needed to be a cart of bantha dung

Didn't mind the scooter gang, just didn't like the scooters, too bright and jarring for Tatooine.

Liked Danny Trejo making an appearance. And the office space guy.

Wish it was longer. 39 minutes is way too short.

Vespa mod gang took me outta the world, not sure if I want back. 1/5

The pacing of this series is kind of weird, I feel like this episode was pretty crammed full of parts and moved quite quick when the last two have been much more of a slow burn.

Speaking of pace, did anyone else feel like the Speeder chase was slow as anything? The only thing that felt like it had any speed there was the chariot ball droid thing.

I'm getting pretty invested in the series now though. Hope we get to see more of Krrsantan (I was hoping he would join the crew, but he is supposed to be more gun for hire, right?), expect to see more Rancor, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the Pike conflict and the Biker conflicts play out.

Question for people that follow the EU stuff / Clone Wars and stuff - the three factions mentioned as being in charge of Tatooine - are they existing characters or brand new stuff?

 

[Sixpence]

I think Boba riding a Rancor will make this series a win regardless of what else happens!

 

[glenferry23]

Well I got that earlier prediction of waiting longer for the Krrsantan duel completely wrong. Heavy stuff with the Tuskens wiped out and their funeral montage, excellent score for that scene as well. And then. Bang. Awoken by Krrsantan.

Danny Trejo with a very random cameo as a Rancor trainer.

I gotta say that chase scene didn’t quite do it for me. Can’t quite put my finger on exactly why, it just seemed slow at times. They don’t particularly look imposing enough to be his muscle, maybe it will grow on me. However first impressions, it seems a bit out of place.

 

[GreyCrow]

I understand it will be a slow burn series what with flashbacks etc - but this felt oddly out of sync

It may take till the final episode when instead of a litter Fett arrives on a Rancor but his menace isnt on show. As noted people are starting to push back

And the electric colour gang? Someone found an audience sheet where some random said ' needs more cool kids - everyone else is old'

And the chase? My zimmer goes faster

Homage was paid earlier to Lawrence of Arabia. And now it’s Seinfeld‘s turn.

Who was the actor who played the watermonger guy at the start? Can't seem to find it anywhere (even in the credits). Recognise him from somewhere

Stephen Root. He's the "Where's my stapler?" guy from Office Space. Also, he's THE man in the high castle.

I felt the same.

Aha! I saw him recently and couldn't put my finger on it (looks a bit different). From Dodgeball!

 

[Royces Hart]

Fett is seeming too naive and it doesn’t feel right. For someone who has been bounty hunting since childhood, surrounded by the scummiest of the scum, working for crime bosses, he seems to have no idea how the underworld works. At this point, Fennec would make a better crimelord.

He's in a heap of things, he's Boyle's Dad in Brooklyn-99, he's in West Wing, Succession, etc.

I honestly thought the Rancor would attack him, he seemed way too trusting.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

I wonder if he will have flashbacks to the Holiday special

"I’ve ridden beasts 10 times it’s size"

I do wonder, is this somehow the same baby rancor from Bad Batch?

I thought that baby was implied to be the rancor in ROTJ, but not sure how fast they're meant to grow, so it could be.

 

[Nostradumbass]

The Rancor will be a trap, it'll gonna try and eat Boba.

Nope, that baby rancor has a different name to the RotJ one. I looked it up after watching Bad Batch.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Someone else said already, but did that whole speeder race feel like it slow and just very odd… and without trying to be too picky those really bright colours of purple and yellow BMX bikes was regally off putting..
As far as the pace of the show, I don’t mind it, I trust theses guys know what they are doing.

From memory, there was dialogue in that Bad Batch episode that stated that Rancor was on its way to Jabba as a gift etc.

OH GOD THAT WAS HIM!!!

If this features:




the series is an automatic win right there
