Yep! I am a bit of a Star Wars nerd, and as soon as I saw him I was like "OOOOH that is that Wookie bounty hunter!" Tho I admit, I didn't know his name. GREAT look... you don't get black wookies that often!
And yeah, the Pikes, and the spice trade... that was interesting! Love that we are getting into the crime world of Star Wars.

I like the way the story is being told, but i have to give some agreement to the criticism of the quality of stuff like the fight scenes and special effects, all of which were quite mediocre if not outright bad. Still, the story is more important. I'm having a hard time following how Boba Fett just wants to walk right into being a crime lord and that he seems to just expect that everyone will now pay him what Jabba got. Seems like he's gonna need more of a crew than an "expert assassin" and a pair of Gamorreans for that. Tatooine seems like a pretty rough place. Speaking of which, i do like the expansion of our knowledge of Tatooine as well.
I loved this episode. They sold the lizard really well...I did not see that coming!
I've got to believe that will be explored somewhat as the flashbacks catch up to the "present" from the first episode. Agree that part doesn't seem to make much sense so far (was also somewhat surprised that the Hutts didn't give him more trouble but I'm sure theyve got a plan to come out on top).
Yeah, I love how Star Wars has reached into older, potentially-non-canon stuff, and pulled it into the modern era... Grand Admiral Thrawn and the TIE Defender were two of my favorites of this... and it is so much fun that Marvel is even getting into the act a bit!
As for Boba stepping into the role of Jabba, maybe it is something of a cultural thing... if I kill a crime lord, then I get their position and stuff?
As someone who is not really into canon, and doesn’t get the whole Boba Fett thing as-is, I thought E2 was fine but not great.
Visually impressive for sure.
E3.
SonPK loved it, I thought it was “meh” again. Just doesn’t grab me like The Mandalorian.
Steven Root and Danny Trejo. Great casting.
Not sure I love this so far. A gang of millennials on vespas? The bad guys taking space mass transit? Riding a rancor? Also hope they bring the Wookiee back, apparently he had a cool comic book background.

one thing i'm not digging about TBoBF is the constant putting on and taking off of helmets. Boba is not such a handsome man that we need to see his face, let alone constantly, especially since his helmet is so much cooler to look at. Also, maybe Boba doesn't care about Mandelorian rules anymore (especially since he got rescued by and trained up by the Sand People), but isn't he supposed to be very committed to wearing the helmet?
It's just a textural piece of the story but it's a peeve of mine regardless.
Also, did not love the sparkly clean space vespas-riding "punk" gang. I fast forwarded thru the chase scene cuz it was so lame.
If I’m not mistaken, Boba isn’t a Mandalorian so he isn’t bound by those rules/customs.
But I agree that it is annoying.
I assume they want something visually different than the Mandalorian, otherwise it’s confusing to those not deep in the SW universe.
I'm sure as an actor, Morrison is quite happy to not be under the helmet as much as Pedro Pascal has to be.
Aside from THE Mandalorian, in Star Wars shows most Mandalorians frequently are helmetless, unless they are flying or in battle. Never taking off the helmet was never really a thing until TBOBF's predecessor came along.

I'm so glad I've been watching and enjoying Star Wars since I was a kid
