They are gunna hug it out and become BFFs.

I feel like Black Krrsantan should have actually killed 1 or 2 people to create actual tension with letting him go. Him taking on a whole room full of people is probably the coolest thing that has happened in this show so far and I feel like they wasted it.

When did Boba Fett become a pussy?

Two of those scooter gang dudes definitely should have died. The girl and the one eye'd guy were the only ones to get lines so why not just kill the other two background guys?

I'm mostly enjoying this show, mainly for the world building. But I would like it a lot more if it featured a new character instead of Boba Fett. We didn't get to know him much in the OT so yeah there's lots they can do with that character but they need to build on what little we did know of him and evolve from there. To use the "Well we barely knew him in anyway the OT. " excuse to just have him behave however they want now is absolute garbage writing. He was an iconic villain who only worried about himself. The sith lord Darth Vader had to tell him to tone it down twice in ESB. He wasn't the most evil man in the galaxy in the OT but nothing we saw suggests that he was a nice guy who gave a fuck about honor. If he cared about honor he never would have been a bounty hunter in the first place.

Can he be a good guy? Yes. His clone brothers were good guys until the Order 66 chip too effect, so he wasn't born evil. He was just molded into a certain way of life from his upbringing. But to have him just pop up and be a good guy by default after what we saw in the OT, is absolutely horrible and lazy storytelling.

I kept hoping we'd find out that Boba was playing the long game and using the Tuskens to serve his own selfish interests. Then when it came time to ditch them and leave them weak and vulnerable, he realized that he formed a bit of an attachment and couldn't go through with his plan and went back and saved them from some threat. If they did anything like that then I could have bought into this new good guy Boba.

Even what we saw of him in the animated series’ showed him to be a self-centered survivor. He was a kid who teamed up with criminal hunter groups. He wasn’t handing out flowers at space ports.

We're smarter than they are. We just rule the right way and not waste people's lives

So this is going to go one of two ways:

1) He is going to be successful. Everyone celebrates their smart leader who just lets people live their lives and somehow everything works out. Until they get the wrong persons attention at the end of the season. zzzzzzz

2) He isn't successful and he'll have to come to terms with the fact that life isn't simple and easy. This is pretentious dreck that everyone should already know. Unfortunately, this is probably the way.

I had way more fun watching Clone Wars, tbh, but I'll see this season through.

My favorite episode so far but still had a few issues. Enjoyed both of his missions once he got his ship. I suspect the speed bikers were set up and it wasn't them but still enjoyed that scene. The Saarlac Pit was cool even though it really made no sense for him to think his armor was down there. I'm fine with him not remembering exactly how he got out but why in the world would he think his armor is down there? How would it have come off? Does he think he did it voluntarily. How does he think he got out without it?

I really hope Fennec is the one behind everything. I doubt it will happen though. Could be Emilia Clarke's character from solo though.

The Sarlacc scene made no sense whatsoever. It's like it was written by someone who had no knowledge of anything about the show which I know that isn't the case. It makes no sense to the viewer and it makes no sense internal character logic wise either. Considering this is the exact same team that did The Mandalorian, which was excellent, I'm pretty surprised this show has been somewhat sloppy and disjointed.

I thought the Jawa's stole his suit?

 

[Superbelt]

When did Boba Fett become a pussy?

He's always been a jobber.

 

[Superbelt]

They did. But you have to watch last season of The Mandalorian to see how he got it back.

Been awhile

 

[calsnowskier]

Been awhile

TL;DR…

He helped Mando get Grogu to Luke.

They did and he was conscious for it but was dehydrated and then hit in the head. So apparently he doesn't remember. Still makes no sense for him to think he escaped without it though.

I didn't know this when I saw the episode but there's a reason why Black Krrsantan attacked the Trandoshans at the bar. I thought it was because it looked like one was being flirty with a Twi'lek he had his eye on and then he decided when he was done with that one he'd take on all his friends too, but I was way off. Apparently, it's part of the expanded lore, that trandoshans were known for enslaving wookies and in BK's case they turned him into a gladiator.

Yea, the Trandoshans and Wookies have a long-standing hatred of one another. It's about more than enslavement--think back to the tribute the Trandoshan gave Boba Fett in the beginning...it was a wookie pelt.

I haven't watched this show yet, but I'm hearing, it isn't too good.

The bitching is overstated. It is legit and earned, but overstated nonetheless.
