Episode 2 was Dances With Massiffs (those lizard dog things)
Also I'd be fine with Fennec as my crimelord queen |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Kaminoans lied when they said his age acceleration was not enabled. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Boba Fett should be close to 37, but is being played by a 61 year old bloated, fat guy. What. Just find a younger Moai guy and move on. Geez. The Kaminoans lied when they said his age acceleration was not enabled. Heh. Or they could've put "get in shape" in his contract. Or just not take the helmet off. Keep it on and you can replace the actor with a new stuntman every week and voiceovers. Basically make Boba Fett into the Stig, but add a voice actor. |

I liked it but I really want some more action.
As the episode started, I was thinking Boba was being more of a reactionary dumbass. Go here, make threats, get schooled.I kind of expect that with Din Jarrin as he's less experienced, but still capable. But he held his own against the Hutts and Black Krrsantan. I hope we get a good fight between the two of them. They know each other in the comics, and Boba alluded to Krrsantan's time in the gladiatorial games - so it'll be interesting to see what comes over for the comics. I really liked the Tuscan backstory. The whole acceptance into their culture, learning their ways and language. The lizard thing caught me off guard, but it was cool. Get reptile peyote and go on walkabout I guess. The big question I have: Click To View Spoiler The other thing: Click To View Spoiler |

First episode was a good start.
Thoroughly enjoyed the second episode. The Tuscan stuff was actually more interesting than the crimelord stuff. AND it was a decent length. |

I liked the second episode, even with the noble savage trope (Dances with Wolves, Avatar, etc). I also snickered at the shooting from the train, another reference to the old west.

Was that Cammi from the ANH cut scenes? |

E2 was a lot better than E1 (though that's not exactly a high bar
 ).It's still perplexing and annoying to see Boba Fett walk into a room filled with strangers (many of whom probably wish him dead) and willingly take off his badass and highly protective helmet exposing the head of crusty old man because reasons. |

Why was the first episode such shit?
I just finished this episode, and my first impression was, "That was fucking cool. I enjoyed most of that." Is it enough to make me a Bobaliever? I dunno yet. He's always going to be "that guy" from the previous movies. By the way, I hereby trademark that term. "Bobaliever." The "Wookie-gone-bad-who-would-never-be-allowed-back-on-Kashyyyk" has me wanting more of that. In a narrative, it's always great to have a mid-level villain you can get invested in. I expect more goodness from that storyline. The "Dances with Tuskens/Vision Quest" part was amusing, much better than the previous episode's flashbacks, despite flashbacks being a horrible way to tell a story, but...whatever. Going native is a classic trope, overdone, but fun here, as it gives his character a bit more depth. I mean, Boba Fett was a ruthless, merciless asshole in all previous media, even as a child, despite the fact of being "that guy". This gives his newfound sense of honor and sense of being an anti-hero instead of a villain at least a modicum of a reason to have happened. Fennec still needs to find a reason to exist though. Ming-Na-Wen (or however many hyphens her name has) really isn't adding much to the narrative. Basically, she's a tool for the writers to bounce dialog off of Fett for exposition at this point. They're really relying too much on goodwill from people who watched The Bad Batch and The Mandalorian as far as her character goes. There's potential there, but they're failing to meet it. Anyway... Episode 1: Garbage. Episode 2: Good, enjoyable Star Wars fun. Relied a bit too much on tired tropes. What will Episode 3 bring? |

Part of me thinks some of this is guys my age (late 40s) who saw A New Hope when it dropped in '77 and grew up making up their own stories until Lucas make And now they get to make the shows we're watching.
Boba Fett teaching Tuscan Raiders how to rob a train sounds like something my friends and I would have made up when we were kids. I always, always had Boba pegged as the guy that worked for the highest bidder when I was a kid. Most of the time it was the Empire because they paid well and he could get a steady paycheck. Or the bounty hunter guild, again, steady work. Sometimes the Rebellion because they really needed something and had to pay or were forced to work together to achieve a common goal. To me, Fett deciding that he's had enough and wants to call the shots from a higher level seems like a natural evolution of the character, unless you want to get all Mandalorian and have him trying to become the Mandalore. But Din Jarrin seems to be walking that path at the moment. I do want to see more of bad Wookiee. |

Quote HistoryI think i can only comment on the second question. The Bad Batch didn't bring a second rancor. That was indeed the same one that Luke killed in ROTJ. Remember that it was a juvenile rancor they obtained. Also remember that was just after Order 66 and the events of ROTS, which was approximately 26 years before ROTJ. So, chronologically it does fit. ETA;, where was it stated that it isn't the same rancor? If i'm wrong, i'd really like to look it up. |

The Twins furball champion or Body guard what ever you want to call that dude was bad ass. I hope we see more of him.
I also like the whole Sand People stuff and it was interesting seeing the ceremony of the gafii stick and how sacred it is for each of them. I always liked the Tusken Raiders they were always the coolest. |

This second episode bored me. I’ve seen it many times over in different movies. From the start, I knew how it would end. I’m just not getting into this show. The main character just doesn’t do it for me. I can’t take him seriously as a bad ass bounty hunter. He looks more like a gardener who found some cool armor and wears it mostly when it’s convenient

Between the Hutts and the Pykes, this may be more than Boba and Fennec can handle with the two Gamorreans. That is if Boba doesn’t have another run-in with the Syndicate during a flashback.
I’d like to see Boba get the Trandoshans on his side to help him fight the Wookie |

Show is shaping up to be a another homage to Westerns, which I like.
Fett entering Toschi Station was very similar to the old western motif of thr gunslinger walking into a bar when the local thuggery is causing problems. The train job, another classic western motif. Him being adopted into the tribe, same deal. The "current time" is very much more of the classic gangster picture. Which again, I like. |

He really does need to start hiring/recruiting if he's going to be a crimelord. Otherwise all he's going to be is a heavily outnumbered crimelord in his own immediate vicinity. Within blaster shot, as it were. That won't last long. I don't think the Tuskans are going to be much help. Or they will be, but only because the Entire Sioux Nation Trope rears it's ugly head. That's only going to fly once, to get him out of a jam. I doubt the Tuskans want to come in off the plains and join him on the Rez. |

But I'd imagine that there's easier ways of getting a male rancor than getting a juvenile female, exposing it to liberal ideology, and convincing it that its pronouns are he/him. |

After thinking back on my thoughts of Boba fighting both the Pykes and Hutts, I think I see what they’re going for.
Both groups were introduced in the same episode, building up tensions with both groups. I predict that we’ll see a big battle with both groups, the Syndicate being in flashbacks and the Hutts in “current time” in the same episode. I’m hoping the battles aren’t in the same episode. |
