WHAT an episode,thank you Bryce!
My missus was squealing at the introduction of the BD unit,wow does that little guy look good in live action (YES,general release BD kits HAVE to happen now!).
Absolutely superb,edge of my seat shouting YES at the screen throughout.A hotrod Naboo fighter flying the podrace course?!?Why yes.YES.
Wonderful!π

No one has mentioned some of the clarifying, core dialogue of The Armorer.
Bo Katan was gifted the Darksaber! Finally clearing that up officially.
One of those Rebels scenes you watch and say yep..that is her just being handed that saber, no combat involved. "She's a pretender to the throne!"
Also, pretty paramount that he's officially ousted as a Mandalorian. Not sure what bothers him more: He denied his faith out of his love for Grogu and can't use that as an excuse, or the fact that his sacrifice may be in vain as Grogu is going to be encouraged to have no attachments.
Other things noticed:
The massive ring city instead of a planet was a cool thing. Night and day segments visible.
His "hot rod" has a huge circular air filter on fat motor with visible butterfly valves.
The long pipe thing part is the same thing Leia was trying to wedge between the trash compactor walls.
Beggar's Canyon at full throttle!
Running from the cops was awesome.
R5 called by name.
Honorable mention...BD?

Yes!As the Jawas handed him the part I was babbling about the trash compactor scene,spot on!
Also: the shots of the TIE bombers nuking Mandalore,& the droids striding through the wreckage,finishing off survivors?!?WHOA.Amazing & terrible imagery.π€―
Bryce has given us a classic,with this one.
Side note: a moment of silence for the demise of the beautiful Beskar spear (Darth Brooks,you must've been cursing,sir!).
But as it's being recycled for Grogu,most arguments will probably be invalid!π

So erm it's called the book of boba fett, then a whole episode is Mando with no appearance of Boba and absolutely nothing to do with the Boba plot,this should of been used in the next season of Mandolorian as episode 1, what next a whole episode with Ahsoka and no Boba!
Other than that it's the best episode so far π€£, so many nods to the Phantom Menace, although I thought Mando describing his new ship as wizard was pushing it a but too far.

Well I can't say enough good things about what I just saw! Being able to incorporate Luke Skywalker in that way is just amazing to say the least! Rosario Dawson is INCREDIBLE as Ahsoka! I mean, we saw her before but to me this seemed even better? Or is that just me??? Perhaps she's just had more time to nail down the role even better? Don't get me wrong I already thought she was great but this time just felt a "bit" more like Ahsoka to me! I'm gonna miss the Marshall. I was hoping his character was gonna play a more pivotal role in coming episodes but the appearance of Cad Bane is fantastic. This whole series of The Mandalorian, Book of Boba and the coming Ahsoka is just awesome!!! It does stink a little bit that we only get 1 more... but,,, I love a show that leaves ya hanging π my guess is next week is gonna leave us all chomping at the bit wanting MORE MORE MORE!?!?! and I also would guess that for those who are disappointed that Boba is probably gonna end up stealing a little thunder in S3 of Mando too?π If all roads lead to the ST I'll always hate that destination but the road traveled should be a BLAST!ππ€ͺ |

I don't think the Marshall is down. Pretty sure he got hit in the shoulder. Can't say the same for the deputy tho.
I've had several phone conversations throughout the day with my friends about what we are seeing, and we are all on the same page with how much we loved it. I'll be watching it again tonight I think, there was just too much to soak in and I can't believe that they gave us this right now and I'm pretty emotional about it.
Let's see. Pretty sure they are going to end it with a Bang and we are going to see Solo next episode. Maybe. I think Bayne's foreshadowed a bit with his comment about Boba "He's a cold blooded killer". I think Boba is going to flip out and start wasting these chodes after the bombing of the Madam's bar/cantina. I'd love to see that, since his nice guy tactics aren't working out so much.
Maybe Bayne led the goon squad that wasted the Tuskans and when Boba finds out he's going to settle the score? They aren't exactly friends. Fennick's reply to Boba's comment about the biker attack was "I doubt that" or " that's doubtful".
I think Grogu is going to surprise us. They've been foreshadowing a bit I think mentioning Terra Vizsla on how he was a Mandalorian AND a Jedi. Maybe we might see something with Grogu. Yoda's MR/Hasbro lightsaber is cannon now. And how/when/where did Luke get it? Last we saw it Yoda lost it during the duel with Palpatine in Ep III.
Seeing Luke be Luke, was just..... I mean.. It all just feels so right.

Absolutely could not believe what I was seeing.
At no point did I find myself going,
"Oh that's an amazing effect," or even, "Oh,that looks a bit weird."
I just sat there seeing,hearing &... sensing Luke Skywalker.
Could tell it was Mark driving the performance,his little nuances of stance & expression we all know so well were all coming across.
But to simply use that amazing effect as the baseline for what was just purely emotional,engaging storytelling was a masterstroke by Dave.Blown away.
Just watched it through a second time.Still collecting thoughts.

I wish I were getting the same vibes from Rosario, but I feel like the Ahsoka we know is ...I don't know, less stiff? More friendly/casual?
Like she'd say "maybe", not "perhaps". She'd say "Let be give it to him for you", not "Allow me to deliver it".
To me, her presence felt very forced in this episode. Why was she there? How'd she know where training was happening? Maybe R-tooey? I guess the missing link is her meeting Master Luke. Maybe we'll get that flashback later. Did we need her as a messenger? She didn't do THAT much counseling, although I suppose ultimately it was her words that gave Din the insight to make the choice he did.
No big deal really. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for cameos and fan service. I just wish she brought a bit more of the bratty child-turned-experienced-woman in her dialogue.
Luke looked great. Voice was slightly detracting, but some lines were dead on, like "Let's take a walk".
Man, I saw that hat and silhouette from afar, through the warpy desert air and all, and knew EXACTLY who it was. SO GLAD I had no knowledge of Cad Bane being brought in. While slightly short on the face, he looked terrifying and perfect for live action.
I waited to hear that voice with serious anticipation as he walked up, and then they TOTALLY delivered with Corey Burton! Sick.

I sure hope you're right about the Marshall!?!?! I also was wondering how Luke Skywalkerπ got Yoda's saber but he was with him when he died he probably gathered some things there? I "think",,, Yoda still had it after his battle with Palpatine? I know it went flying when they got into the force lightning duel but yeah... that is a bit like the graflex (I guess it's a story for another time?π€¦ββοΈπ) |

Ya know... I was thinking about it even more. What if (based on the flashback) of order 66 we saw from Grogu that he doesn't fully trust Luke Skywalker cause he "knows" who his father was?π€
I also am wondering if we'll get to see what Grogu's decision is the beskar or the saber?π€ I have a feeling we're gonna have to wait till S3 of Mando to find out? But non the less the decision "may,,, or could" have profound effects on whether or not Favreau and Filoni stick to the ST storyline or if things take a dramatic turn the other way? Totally not trying to dredge up old threadsππ (I'm not) but with the time portals we saw in Rebels with Ahsoka and Ezra that ST timeline does not have to necessarily be where "this" story goes?
I'm not getting my hopes up to high for anything at this point I'll enjoy the ride either way but this is definitely getting to a point where we're gonna find out if everything Filoni and Favreau are doing is built around,,, the ST or if they are eventually gonna rewrite that timeline?

Maybe it's me, but my gut instinct was Grogu has a distaste for sabers. Seeing violence and death with them, being threatened/teased in a cell by one, then the reflection of Luke's in his eyes... I think it's unquestionable he'll go back to Mando and ride in his 'hogged out' droid compartment. |

I agree that Cobb Vanth isn't dead, though that deputy is. Bane was sending a message with both. Cobb was smarter and got winged; the deputy was twitchy and earned plenty of blaster bolts. This could be what rallies the townies, and perhaps the Tuskens, to unite against the Pykes. I think the bombing of the cantina will push Boba over the edge and he'll start smoking folks like he did with the stormies when he got the armor back in Mando Season 2. I think he'll also square off with Cad Bane, as that fight was an unfinished arc in TCW. I wonder if we'll get to see IG-88, 4-Lom, or another OT Bounty Hunter show up? How ever it goes, I was happy to Cad Bane in live action. Yoda's saber. I don't think he got it from Yoda; Yoda could have force-grabbed it on the way out, but it just didn't play that way in ROTS. I wonder if vader swiped it at some point from Palpatine? I remember seeing in the comics when they destroyed a heap of jedi lightsabers, and maybe vader snagged it then? Maybe it was in the Senate's lost and found for a number of years and Leia snagged it for Luke? Who knows? It made sense from a story telling standpoint for it to be Yoda's saber. Why is Luke all hung-up on attachments though? He's got plenty of them. Why now go all Full-Jedi about it? It's odd leverage for him to use on grogru. It was kind of dark for grogu to just crush the remote rather than just switch it off, but he does have that streak in him, as he's seen some stuff. I look forward to him finally talking. I think the final episode of BOBF will be all Boba, and that we've seen the last of Luke/Grogu for now. I don't think the Marshall is down. Pretty sure he got hit in the shoulder. Can't say the same for the deputy tho. I've had several phone conversations throughout the day with my friends about what we are seeing, and we are all on the same page with how much we loved it.

Ok, I didn't comment last night after watching it since I thought I'd let someone else jump in first but here I go. Let's see. Overall I liked it, it was a fun ride, I had a great time, and I want to see more. Was it perfect? No. Even tho I'm not sure what would have made it perfect but I won't sit and nit pick about the small stuff when we got to see a lot of great things. I wasn't a fan of the whole organized crime theme of the series, and what Boba was going to do to straighten it up since I didn't find any of that particularly interesting, but at some point you just gotta say "Ok, this is the direction they want to go with it, let's see how it plays out". They did a great job of giving us a lot of good old fashioned star wars fun. And some stuff that completely blew my mind towards the end. The episode with Luke is something I'll be forever thankful for seeing on screen. And seeing Mando and Grogu be a part of that was such a great way to bring together the old and the new. The episode had so much heart and love for Star Wars, Filoni and Dave GET IT, they just GET IT. Some great things came in the finale that I wanted to see. They wrapped up a lot of Boba's character development and arc post ROTJ. He's changed and wants to do good, but is still haunted by his past. He helped clean up the town in good old fashioned western goodness and now see's he's not really cut out for running it. Which is what I'd hope to see, I want tot see Boba going out in space going around and doing stuff. I can see Cobb Vanth take up that roll of Mayor/leader, he'd be perfect for that. Now we need to see Boba go and tie up loose ends like have a sit down with Solo over a glass of something and then go chasing a rumor about a reclusive purple lightsaber wielding jedi on some far off planet. I've been saying it for years, Mace is alive and needs to come back. It takes a lot more than a hand slice and getting tossed out a window to kill a jedi. Star War's facebook page tease a few years back really was the icing on the cake for me with my theory... www.facebook.com/StarWars/photos/a.184244804960462/3838161522902087/Nice nice: Clint jumped in first as I was writing this up. Definitely going to watch it again this weekend. |

Just finished watching. Everyone gets an opinion, right? Sorry, but I'm disappointed. I had zero expectations, but I don't even know what I just saw. I was alright for a while, but things added up and then I was done. The I'm ready to die for the cause talk in the blown up bar felt really forced. Coming out jet-packs fired up and taking a stand was somewhat redeeming, but then the cavalry arrives....15 people in a skiff. WHICH they all end up just hiding behind, and then celebrate too early. How many completely pointless rounds are you gonna fire at these shielded mega droids? Why are we doing this? Run! Do something else like get some trip wires rigged up, or drop a building on them. SOMEthing logical please. Pea shooting the shields for what felt like a 1/2 hour killed me. Snipers to the rooftop? ok. that worked for 4 guys. Then, we get the big reunion in the heat of battle? OK, it's war I get it I guess. The Rancor comes to save the day.........so when all the bad guys are done, let's shoot it!  ? Ok now it's King Kong ? I'm going to stop and try to be positive. Maybe later. It just felt like a totally different show. Not sure where "good Star Wars fun" was seen. It was the wild west, and required a ton of suspension of disbelief. Remember animated fight btw Cad and Fennec over who gets Omega? THAT was a battle. Tactical, clever, powerful, and a good length of action for a fight. You'd think they built up this big rivalry to come to a head, only to have our "hero" take one shot and he's down. Please tell me I'm on the wrong page about this. Of course I want to feel great about the show. |

Of course I want to feel great about the show. Haha, I laughed out loud reading this. I mean, you're not wrong  . It has a lot to do with your perspective going into it, and what your expectations are. Mine aren't super high with anything or I try and set them low, but have high hopes I guess. Just and as long as they show me they care about the characters and Star Wars, and don't take the heroes and put them in a hurt locker the whole plot then followed by a slow pass through the meat grinder before the ending like the sequel trilogy, I'm good. Sorry to drag that old dead horse into this  . I think they showed us they care. Sure maybe I got a little bored watching Boba walk around doing space Sopranos stuff and I wanted him to do something on a larger scale, but I think that's coming. I think Boba's journey is far from over and Bane really helped flush that out with his dialogue, I really appreciated his dialogue and his presence in the last two eps. I wished we could have had more. Maybe he's alive? His chest still had blinking stuff going on when the camera panned? I mean it was just a small poke right? Or maybe Bane served his purpose in the Saga? Hmm, don't know. The character had so much presence I'd hate to see him go. Maybe that's what the series missed this whole time, a good flushed out antagonist. It's too bad we didn't get to see bane this whole season as the villian. And not just a syndicate goon squad and some gang leaders. My write up was looking at Season 1 of Boba as a whole, and not just this one last episode,. So when I wrote "good Star Wars fun" there was plenty of stuff that even though it didn't work for me personally, I still had fun watching it, aliens, blasters, and our SW characters. With this finale You can tell this ep is very Rodriguez. He's got a very specific style that I think might not play out very well in Star Wars or at least seems jarring when compared to what you see Howard and Filoni do. He directed it but didn't write it. So the dialoque is solid, mostly, actually great on some areas, but the action sequences and pacing are very stylized and clash with what we usually see. He's directed 3 eps this season and they are all kinda like this. Ep1, Mos Vespa, and then this. Sorry. big edit on this. Had to go afk and stuff to eat and deal with pms after accidentally hitting enter when i wasn't finished typing. I guess my big point with all things new Star Wars is that I'm trying to enjoy it, I want to and it's been fairly easy so far. I've really really really wanted live action Star Wars series for a looong time now. And if you knew me in person you'd know I am the opposite of easy to please, but with the tel |

Though I was really hoping for a cohesive conclusion to this very two-toned series,I'm totally with nosloppy on this one I'm afraid,all points reiterated.
Furthermore- Grogu just turning up,being handed off by R2 with not so much as a word from Luke to Mando explaining about the choice was just lazy,after all the lovingly crafted character connection in last week's gem of an episode.Basically just a rushed, "Oh right,the baby's back with a Mithril shirt,now we can head off for the main event of season 3."
This was another of Rodriguez' misses for me,& a TERRIBLE way to off Cad Bane- argh!Still processing,but in my eyes a car crash of an episode to end on.ππ»π

I'll be back! Gotta watch it again... it was the first thing I did at like 6am when I got up this morning was pretty tired when I watched it... but my initial thoughts we're, "what now" I absolutely liked the show! But honestly I'm kind of somewhere between nosloppy and Obi-Shaneπ€ The show itself was very entertaining for me, the finale a bit underwhelming for me. It had a bit under arc for me to be very engaged of the future of the people of Mos Espa I'm gonna watch again... |

Post by darthbrooks on Feb 9, 2022 21:04:55 GMT -5
Ok, so I watched it again (immediately after my last post π
π€£π)
I gotta say, this time around was much better for me! I did notice at the end (I must've been dozing off this morning?) Cob Vanth was the one in the bacta tank at the end and the power ranger guy was doing stuff for him. So yeah I think Shane is right for sure! Gonna be a much more adventurous style show next season and Vanth will take care of the town.
My complaints on the show though are only really a few. I think we didn't get enough time to get really any vested interest in the other characters? The Power Ranger transhumanist group (I DONT EVEN KNOW ANY OF THEIR NAMES???) Some of the other characters who were barely introduced died in the casino explosion. It was so one sided for the first 4 episodes on Boba and his transition from the sarlacc to now that we didn't get to see any of the bad guys or basically any scenes that weren't directly about Boba.
There's a part of me that was REALLY hoping Grogu was gonna take that saber instead of the armor. Not only because (a guy can dream) that they were gonna take the story in a different direction than "all roads lead to the ST" I know that's kind of a pipe dream but frankly,,, dont throw tomatoes at me but I personally am not really looking forward to Grogu's role in Mando season 3? I hope I'm wrong but I feel like Grogu served his purpose for that story and I wanted him to just go with Luke and maybe we'd see him from time to time and not as a full time every episode character. Also to the folks who because Grogu didn't stay with Luke who are saying "THEY'RE DONE" againπ€¦ββοΈ they still have liberty in my mind to take the story as a whole in many different directions over the course of time. A multi billion dollar company like Disney isn't just gonna say (ok fans many of you didn't like 7,8,9 and what we did to Luke and one little episode of Boba Fett is gonna rewrite the whole thing) just not gonna happen that way.
Watching this a second time though I appreciated the action more and caught a bit more dialogue than the first time and this show seems to me like it's setting up something much greater! He's not gonna stay on Tatooine and that's a good thing!
I can't say I was BLOWN AWAY or anything but yeah, they definitely care about these characters I still like where we are with Star Wars. As awesome as the detour was with Luke and Mando (those episodes were FANTASTIC!) It did end up taking away from the show at hand. But the story goes on so once we have more new ones I'm sure all will be forgotten about and in retrospect it'll all have been worth it. One of the main points of a finale is to leave the audience wanting more and in that they succeeded I DO,,, WANT MORE!!!

Alright so I went back and checked something I wanted to see again and yeah, sure enough. Immediately when Bane gets stabbed by Boba his chest light starts blinking AND starts beeping. That's definitely not a continuity error thing and only happens when he gets stabbed. So it's intentional and specific. It's gotta be some kind of signal for help or life support system thing. Bane ain't dead. NICE.

Alright so I went back and checked something I wanted to see again and yeah, sure enough. Immediately when Bane gets stabbed by Boba his chest light starts blinking AND starts beeping. That's definitely not a continuity error thing and only happens when he gets stabbed. So it's intentional and specific. It's gotta be some kind of signal for help or life support system thing. Bane ain't dead. NICE. Now THAT is a positive I will gladly take,going forward!ππ» |

I've been watching a lot of this youtube channel lately, and usually feel the same about each episode as his reviews. The channel really is more about content and discussion re SW than boosting subscribers and dictating/influencing by opinion.

Ooooh guys, I gotta disagree about Luke. I didn't think he came off very well. I don't know why they wrote him as being so hung up on attachment. Wasn't it Luke's attachment in ROTJ that proved Vader could be saved? Wasn't the dogmatic/stringent ways of the Jedi Order part of what led to their downfall? You'd think Luke of all people would recognize this and reshape the Order to reflect this better outlook. Then, to have Grogu -a child- make such a hasty life-altering decision seems rather harsh. Then to send him alone to a hostile planet when it's been established that without training, he'll always be in danger is pretty reckless. At least take him yourself! I know. That puts him in the fight which they didn't want. On top of that, Luke's demeanor is too rigid. It's one thing to make him more stoic or introspective if you will, but he comes off as emotionless here. Still better than TLJ  On a positive note, the deepfakes are getting better but still not quite there. I didn't love his ninja costume but I didn't hate it either. It's something different I guess. I hardly watched any of the Clone Wars or Rebels cartoons but I'm familiar with Cad Bane. I thought he translated well into live-action. He and Cobb Vanth actually had the most charisma out of everybody. I don't think he's dead either. He's too good of a character to let go of this soon. But if he is, it was fitting to die at the hands of Boba. Boba using the Rancor to defeat that mech droid was cool but how the heck did he get there so fast from Jabba's palace? And yes I was thinking the same about why do they keep shooting the shields when it didn't do anything. If they established that a constant barrage of fire can weaken the shields enough to penetrate it, that'd be one thing. And did Boba really think the 9 people he has working for him were enough to defend an entire spaceport sized city? Hey, at least he and Mando remembered to use their rocket-packs this time. Best thing for me? Seeing Yoda's lightsaber and remembering that NerfWorx is making a new run  |

? Ok now it's King Kong ?
. It has a lot to do with your perspective going into it, and what your expectations are. Mine aren't super high with anything or I try and set them low, but have high hopes I guess. Just and as long as they show me they care about the characters and Star Wars, and don't take the heroes and put them in a hurt locker the whole plot then followed by a slow pass through the meat grinder before the ending like the sequel trilogy, I'm good. Sorry to drag that old dead horse into this
