Loved both episodes so far! Could easily match Mando in terms of feel and quality.

Curious what BOBF big fan service moments will be, Mando had Asoka & Luke being the big 2 as well as Boba showing up.

Hope the show is huge like Mando, I’ll take a Boba Fett pin, yes please!

Good point. Lots of options. Mando an easy one, or Ahsoka. Others like Bossk, 4LOM, Dengar etc. Maybe Obi Wan, Darth Maul? Ezra....

Awesome love it.

I watched the first episode, deciding whether I want to continue. Wasn't impressed with EP 1

Just pack in the towel and give up.

He takes his helmet off WAY too much.

EP 3 is out now

Gonna watch tonight

Ep3 is more of the same. Love it.

4 episodes left I'm digging the direction this is going!! No spoiler talk yet; but another fire episode IMO!!

Yep loving it too, it “feels”’ like Star Wars just like Mando did which is a big plus for me straight away.

Give me a BOBF pin after season 2, take the milk can from Houdini and make it into Boba’s jetpack/missile launcher

Ugh these episodes feel short :-p

Did anyone felt that car chase in episode 3 was weird ? Like a scooter chase going 10mph .

And why oh why did they make the young thugs motorcycles look like carousel rides

Thank you. I thought it was just me. Then I checked IMDB and saw it was rated lower than the first episode. Then I saw it was directed by the same guy. My score so far is 1 good episode, 2 bad.

I’ve seen it, and it isn’t that familiar. Not like Fistfull of Dollars, that is a direct rip off of one of his movies. Even some of the scenes are the same.

This was the weakest episode of the three.

In this series there are just too many things that bring me out of the Star Wars world whereas the Mandalorian didn't.

The 'mild ones' on colored vespas with way too many mirrors on them was just so out of place I actually laughed when I first saw them. It was a Luke throwing his saber over his shoulder moment for me. It's awful! The bicycle-speed chase through the town could've been so much more energetic, and exciting, but wasn't.

The fight with Black Krrsantan started off great with a nice jump scare moment then devolved into a typical 'let's all stand around and wait our turn to attack' that sucked. At one point Boba gets punched square in the face by a wookee with electrically-charged pointed brass knuckles, and it didn't even leave a mark. I bump my head on a corner of a raised playfield and I got an egg on my forehead for a week! Black Krrsantan was stabbed at least 4 times with various weapons with no apparent injury or affect at all. No blood. No limp. No nothing. He's good as new.

Then there's Boba Fett.... Temuera was a fantastic Jango in the prequels, but his portrayal of Boba just isn't there. His physical make up is nothing like how Boba was when we last saw him in Jedi. The writing for Boba is just so out of what we know his character to be. He's supposed to be a baddass bounty hunter feared throughout the galaxy!

Fennec Shand is turning out to be the best character so far. She's the one that this series should be about. She's awesome.

Overall it IS enjoyable, and I will watch it, but it's almost like the A-team is working on the new season of the Mandalorian while the B-team got stuck doing this.

Yes! The chase felt low low budget to me too. Took me out of the “world”. I’m really enjoying the story so far but the special effects have definitely been lagging compared to the mandalorian.

After getting into discussions with my son on this (WARNING SPOILERS BELOW FROM EPISODE 3):

The multi color bikers are for set up for selling merchandise and expect to see them in a Star Wars parade at Disneylands.
Loved the Wookie fight - of course they take turns to fight him - he will be working as a "good bad guy" with Boba before the end of the series.
Love the rancor scenes. Expect to see Boba riding his beast in the last episode around town.
I wonder if they alternate spending budget on special effects versus practical effects and keep some episodes at 38 minutes because they feel it keeps the energy going. Who knows.

The only thing missing is a nice Boba Ice Tea. Maybe Danny Trejo can start carrying them and get one from his taco restaurant chain and get some on the show as a tie in .

The whole Vespa gang was just weird.

Oh lord goddamn Mods have finally reached Star Wars!
This one was def too much Robert Rodriguez, that chase was rough, but it was too funny which is his style. I mean and old lame dude in a boat being chased by slow ass Vespas.
All I could think of was

More like a gang on 1950's motorcycles chasing a '63 Caddy.

YES ! That's it, that's what I had in mind but I couldn't put Costanza on it so I kept trying to remember. Thanks !

How did Robert Rodriguez get so involved in this series? He’s ruining it.

The mod squad is terrible. Isn’t he supposed to be the head of a planet spanning crime organization or did everyone die on that barge? Is that why he’s force to recruit kids? The scope is just too small.

We need less Spy Kids and more Mando.

Lucas freely admits lifting characters and scenes from Hidden Fortress. The droids are clearly the 2 peasants and the princess is well.. the princess and in similar situations.

I agree on all of the above posts. LOL

I'm still liking Boba, but I'm a HUGE SW fan and I'm easy to please. However.....(Spoilers)

Boba needs to be more bad ass. I understand he's trying to be a fair leader, but it just seems like everyone walks over him and if it wasn't for Fennac Shand he would be baking them pies in trying to be a good neighbor. I loved the idea of the Hutts giving Boba the Rancor as the gift. I can see Boba riding the Rancor in a battle scene coming up, possibly against the Pikes. Jabba's palace needs the Rancor to make it more intimidating. The tricycle chase scene just moved too slow for me and it just looked ridiculous. Those freedom fighters seem out of place and they need to be more darker and intimidating. They would look more comfortable in Lost in Space with Will Robinson and Dr. Smith than as a vigilante group in Star Wars. The fight scenes in Episodes 1 and 3 just seem to fake to me (as mentioned above in a perfect description). You know the big wookie is going to come back and assist Boba, since they use to work together as a bounty hunting team in the comics lore. Being a SW figure collector, I know Disney made the colored scooters so they can put them out later as a figure set and all they have to do is build the same scooter and give it a different color and collectors will still buy them regardless of it being the same mold. Kinda like what they do with the clone and storm troopers. Same figure, just painted differently while teasing the collectors to "buy them all".

The flashback episodes was nice and I was hoping to see him go after the clan who slaughtered the sand people. The only bad thing about the flashback scenes is it takes out the advancement of the story about what Boba is doing in the present time. I don't mind them showing how Boba got to where he is, but when we only get a half hour show, it just seems the time is limited in trying to portray (2) parts of his life.

AND WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE SLAVE ONE?

Disney at its best - plenty more where this came from

Makes me think of Medieval Madness every time I see these guys.

I'm seeing some definite peaks and valleys with this show, and so far the valleys can be directly correlated with Rodriguez, which concerns me somewhat since he apparently directed at least one more of the remaining episodes. Looking at some of the strongest episodes of Mando makes me wish I was seeing names like Filoni, Famuyiwa, or Howard in the director's credit here.

I'm sticking with it, of course, because it's a show about Boba Fett. Duh.

Will Boba Fett and Mando cross paths in this series or is there a story timeline issue?

Can't be timeline issues since they were just together before it started.

Shouldn't happen. As Mando was years and years after the start of Boba Fett

No, the present time in BOBF is right after what we saw last in Mando.

The Mandalorian is set only a few years after the fall of the Empire.

Obviously the flash backs are the time right after the sail barge explosion. Soon the flashbacks will show when Boba saved Fennec after Mando left her for dead.

Personally I'm okay with the series, it's not Mando but it's a good time waster. Low speed hover chase was weird

For me having Danny Trejo in the episode just made me smile

Still enjoying this series better than Hawkeye, but I'm behind on that

Holy shit, i'm wayyy off.

I wish people could stop comparing this to Mando. Hello it's not Mando don't worry though Mano Season 3 will be out soon. They're two totally different characters on two totally different quests. Mando didn't have any back-story at all so they could kick it off & make it more fast paced. With Fett it's the story of him going through the events shortly after ROTJ & his slow road to redemption/growth the philosophy of what's best for the tribe & becoming more selfless or at least this is my take on it.

BTW I'm in the minority but I absolutely hated baby Yoda when he first appeared I felt it was incredibly lazy & shrunk the galaxy!! But after a couple of episodes I got over it...

WTF...Did you even watch Mando bruhs?!!?

Hawkeye was great, but Marvel does the opposite of taking shitty characters and making them interesting.

You've actually seen him look interested before?!

It thought I saw him look interested on WW84 but then anyone told me it was actually Pedro Pascal.

Reflecting on the previous episode too, why the hell did the Tuskens continue to live near a dangerous train line when they have the whole Dune Sea that they could move around in. Also, who still moves all their stuff via a train in this world? Plus a train going through the Dune Sea with shifting sands, surely one bit of wind and the tracks would be covered in sand. Im glad the Tusken stuff appears to be done, if only Anakin could have come along and butchered them all earlier we wouldn't have had to deal with this garbage. At least someone finally stepped up to the mark in episode 3.

Very underwhelmed with episode 3 overall.

The extreme slow speed vespa chase with the power ranger kids - WTF??? Terrible! The CGI seems extremely bad, not sure if that's a budget issue?

Sadly Mando is more Boba Fett than Boba Fett. Seriously, all I see is helmet off, helmet on, helmet off, helmet on.... Leave the bloody helmet on. I mean he walks into the Cantina in a tough guy moment and immediately takes the damn thing off. There is no prescience or badass aura which we expect from Boba Fett. If I have to see Boba in his underwear one more time I swear I am going to throw something at the TV, enough of the Bacta Tank and Boba in his jocks. I mean we have even seen Boba Fett in a dressing gown. Just let that sink in for a moment, they gave us one of the Universes most badass bounty hunters, the guy that wasn't afraid to give Vader a bit of lip ("he's no good to me dead") in a fucking dressing gown!!!!

We got the Hutt story line which looked interesting but it seemed like they just cut that off and it went nowhere. "Here have a Rancor as a present, we're off". I'm guessing we will have to sit through a whole episode now of him training and bonding with the Rancor.

I liked Krrsantan, I have a feeling we will see him again. My guess is he will team up with Boba.

Im wondering if it's Robert Rodriguez that is part of the problem. He directed Episodes 1 & 3 and I was most underwhelmed with those. Episode 2 was the best of the 3 IMO.

I just hope a lot of this is backstory and now most of it is done and we can move forward now. We need to see badass Boba, not the Boba that is concerned with the towns unemployment or Fennec pulling a gun on the Mayor's offsider! Has Boba even shot his blaster in the current timeline?

Yep, he's too much of a pushover and is acting like a clueless twit.

The flashbacks need to stop and the helmet needs to stay ON.

The wooden acting is driving me bananas. The characters deadpan every line.

Boba Fett finds the burning husk of the sand people village. He looks like he’s waiting in line at the DMV.

Boba Fett burns the bodies of his friends. He looks like he’s entering the early stages of anesthesia.

I used to work a job with a girl that was a gal Gadot doppleganger. I miss that job...

Dude you need to move on; the Helmut is not staying on.
Agreed with Mando the Helmut coming off is the worst part, but they've already shown this actor thru a bunch of movies constantly without a helmet so that seal is already broken.
