Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett

[NinjaPug]

It's really strange that we're essentially getting the epilogue of Mando S2 or prologue of S3 wedged into the middle of this. Feels like they want to replicate the Clone Wars structure where we spend 2-4 episodes with a set of characters and the move to another set for a different story arc.

Love that we finally got live action Cad Bane.

This show's greatest blessing was ditching their own storyline and just becoming The Mandalorian Season 3 prologue

I liked this episode, not as much as last week's but more than any of the others. But there's really only one episode left? I don't know who tf we'll see next week

Also, I feel like Grogu is gonna try to take both

Is it time for "Grogu has two Dads" joke?

Ya the last two were great. And they weren't true Book of Boba Fett episodes.

I'm sure they'll dovetail into the finale somehow... but jeeze. They should've at least bothered to work in Boba Fett somehow in this latest episode. It'd be one thing if this was like a 10 or 13 episode season... but we're already almost out of runway.

Boba Fett is in it...for a bit between Mando going to see Grogu and Mando going to see Timmy Elephant.

All these "spinoffs" have been better than the last 6 movies. So I don't see the problem.

Oh, OK. I watched it all the way through now. Definitely kind of a mic drop episode, bringing the Star Wars feels. Only one episode until Emilia Clarke returns with Crimson Dawn. And that better be a giant-sized episode to make up for this side thing.

Spoiler:

No way Olyphant's character is dead. He was only shot once and everyone immediately rushed to him to where you can't even tell if he's breathing or not. Maybe he'll be given droid parts now, or something.

I thought it was pretty clear that he was shot in the shoulder.....

Wait does some of this tie-into Solo or something?

[CyberCubed]

It's kind of ironic seeing characters who started in the cartoons like Ahsoka, Cad Bane, etc. now fully realized with actors in real life. All the people who turned up their noses on Star Wars cartoons over the years are now realizing all these characters are important and canon.

[IMJ]

I love the Ahsoka episodes and I couldn't believe how well Cad Bane translated to the screen.

Cad Bane was cool. I'd never seen him before but had heard his name. Love that gravely voice.

Btw, I watched Midnight Meat Train. Hell of a suggestion. Good stuff.

It's not those cartoon characters being MORE important, it's Star wars itself being LESS important now. I'm sure for a lot of people the last three movies are less important than the old cartoons.

A ton of stuff is pointing towards Crimson Dawn being the true syndicate pulling the strings behind the scenes. With Darth Maul dead by this point in the timeline that means Emilia Clarke's Qi'ra would be in charge of it.

The guys with shields Boba fought in the first episodes, they were all dressed in red and black -- Crimson Dawn colors.

What's the time span between this series and Solo? 20 years?

Something like 18? Solo ended 10 years before IV and Boba Fett is 5 years after VI.

Hmm ok. I never watched Solo or Rogue One for whatever reason. I think maybe after seeing Episode VIII I just couldn't be bothered to care, til The Mandalorian pulled me back in. I might check those out when I do a rewatch of all the movies this weekend; the last episode of BoBF got me missing those OG trilogy vibes.

[Mayhem]

Dick move by Luke though

(slightly spoiled by talk of Grogu and his lightsaber colour online, but that doesn't mean we already know his choice)
