It's probably true! I believe you....

Episode 4 consists of the real Boba Fett showing up and blasting this impersonator Fett from behind, followed by a badass one-liner (key word: one), that chuckles along with the audience. - “No security?”

The Fett we’ve been following is obviously a clone. A lesser cousin. A cheap impersonation.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic... but that'd kind of be perfect. Fett seemed perfectly competent in Empire. Then Jedi... not so much? Now we fix it, in 2022?

Highly doubtful, though. Why burn 3 episodes out of like 6 building up this guy with flashbacks to AotC for basically nothing. Though if they went that direction... with misdirection... that'd kind of be really clever.

I'm joking, but that is what I would like to see. I'd turn this whole thing on it's head.

It would be a "gotcha!" on the audience, but in a satisfying way - "Ha! We knew that wasn't Boba Fett! Boba Fett doesn't caress alien guard dogs after knocking them out!"
Plus, I like that the title character shows up four episodes in, fashionably late, in badass fashion.
Welcome to Boba's show, hope you've made yourselves comfortable.

For all I care, it was Boba that raided the Tuskan camp. He's been around the whole time.

As for I incorporating the RotJ version of Boba, I don't see why not, necessarily. Could have potential. Maybe they don't tell us outright. Having two versions of Boba floating around sort of brings back the mystery a bit.

Damn this show really blows huh!

Nah. My only complaints so far are, "blinding white teeth," "too much mask off," "where's the Wookiee pelt? I bet it's gone because of SJW reasons" and "I think they're going to rename the ship something other than 'SLAVE I' because of SJW reasons." Other than that, I'm good. Now, if it turns out Boba's recent pacifism isn't for a purpose, being used as a misdirect, or otherwise heading for a big twist... then I'll retroactively have big problems. But I don't think so.

Huh. You might be onto something there. Boba having some kind of schizoid/Dr. Hyde thing going on could be a real possibility.

Having watched the 4 eps so far the show is just "fine" but that's it. It's not great, it's not bad, it's just there. My problem is there's no real story, so each episode feels padded since it's just showing Boba try to become a crime lord and take over Jabba's territory. Nothing really happens for most of the episodes.

I've only watched clips of the star wars tv shows, they seem good but only because they're playing with our nostalgia. I'm not sure how "well" the shows will actually hold up. Many of the things I read reek of Disney Star Wars, it's just that there are other moments that are making up for it. I still feel most fans watching are on a "high" to try to not find flaws in it. Similarly to how Episode 7 is mostly disliked now but it was loved at one point.

Episode 5 is a Mandalorian episode Boba isn't in it at all it was really good.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, it's totally Mandalorian S03E00.

"Best episode so far, main character wasn't even in it." :LOL:

But for real, that was a much better episode than any of the previous.

They really just used the whole episode as like a MCU post-credits scene-kinda teaser for The Mandalorian S3

And speaking of, when does that come out?

Yeah. And it's kind of weird in that way, because it sounds like Mando is NOT sticking around on Tatooine. He says he basically has to go and visit Grogu... so he may not be back at all this season.

Part of me thinks a last minute save in the season's end by Mando + Grogu could be in the cards, but Mando going to visit Grogu would definitely be a storyline to be tackled in The Mandalorian itself. They wouldn't just have season 3 open with Grogu already back with Mando.

And speaking of, when does that come out?

It's still filming so sh**... maybe Christmas, if we're lucky. They've said 2022 but no way it comes any earlier than that.

I think it's some of the most boring Star Wars I've seen in my life. It's not offensive like the Last Jedi or a confused woke-joke like the ROS, but I can barely sit through each episode.

The colored motorcycle gang in ep 3 was f'n awful. Trying to turn the Sandpeople into a sympathetic honor-society was woke $#!( for the Power Ranger-lifers. It was awful and uninspiring.

And as much as I was looking forward to Temuera Morrison doing something more with the character, he is - at least in this show - I mean I hate to say this but - he's a terrible actor. He speaks with this phony tough-guy cadence that doesn't sell it at all.

As much as I love watching Ming-Na Wen doing basically anything, I think her character sucks. It's like a parody of a Star Wars character and I can't stand CW'd "kung-fu Star Wars".

Also, I honestly, deeply and truly never want to see f'n Tatooine in Star Wars ever again. The planet sucks. It always has, Star Wars staple or not. I'll only suffer through it again for the Obi Wan show if I have to.

I've really enjoyed the whole show, but yesterday's episode was especially amazing. Not just because of Mando, but as a prequel fan, the Episode I callouts were so great!

[Andrew NDB]

Skimmed over the new one. Yeesh. Some pretty cool stuff in this one but... no Boba again and only 1 episode left? Is that right?

The last one I saw was the return of the Mandarlorian and it was a great episode. But calling it a BOBF episode is a complete misrepresentation. It was literally TM S03E01.

[AquaParade]

Another good episode. A shame it didn't really feature Boba. What a strangely structured, slight mess of a series.

[Coola Yagami]

Star Wars and their stupid spin offs. Just leave it at the movies. At least the originals.

[Autbot_Benz]

Cad Bane showing up was ****ing awesome
