Well, if I was hoping that the initial episode was a bit of a blip, an idea that was held up somewhat by the second episode, this third one has me wondering again. Whilst not completely awful, it has introduced an aspect to the show that is so cringeworthy, I think I'm trying still to mentally block it out.

In the past, Boba (Temuera Morrison) heads into town to collect the tribute from the Pyke Syndicate but on his return to the raiders camp, finds that they have been slaughtered by the biker gang. He sets off on a Bantha, looking for revenge. In the present, he secures the help of a local gang, by way of ending a trade dispute, but is then attacked in his private chambers by Black Krrsantan. Team Fett eventually subdue and capture the paid assassin. Rather than escalate though, the twins come with a token of apology and say that they are leaving Tatooine, as a new and dangerous clan is arriving to stake a claim.

I'm going to start with the bit I absolutely hated, which was Boba's new gang of misfit mods. Boba Fett lived on in the minds of Star Wars fans because he looked cool. I understand why he doesn't keep the helmet on all the time, Temuera Morrison is around on set a lot more than Pedro Pascal is and having two shows where the lead is masked the whole time might be a bit weird. The surrounding world should remain cool looking, Tusken Raiders look cool, Danny Trejo delivering a Rancor looked cool, the new masked clan at the end looked cool. This gang though, riding around on their dayglo space Vespas do not look cool, or capable, and their chase scene with the mayor's underling was the series second embarrassingly awful action scene in three episodes.

I also didn't like the fact that for the third straight episode we've have a change in who the primary antagonist is.

To be clear, none of this means that I'm going to stop watching the show. I'm eager to see his revenge on the biker gang, for Krrsantan to inevitably join forces with him and for him to ride into battle astride his new Rancor. . but please, just a bit cooler from here on out.

All this needed was some songs by The Who and it would have been a space age Quadrophenia.

If only Sting was available. He was too busy doing Only Murders in the Building. We do get Danny Trejo as the Rancor Keeper.

Well I rather liked the space Vespa car chase with the Mayor's assistant who is driving a Cadillac, the kind you find in Cuba. It was cheesy fun and you can spot some popular robotic machinery on the road.

Boba Fett is still not much of the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy. In every fight scenes, he needs assistance.

The Tusken Raiders I'm afraid are not in this much. They have been slaughtered.

It leads to a bigger villain, even the Hutt twins quickly take their leave from Tatooine.

As for the Wookie, there is a big fight scene where Boba Fett does not need his Baca tank after getting some serious injuries. That Wookie bites. Instead he lets another have it to recuperate from their injuries.

I do not think getting that Wookie to run away was a good idea. It really did look like a man in a suit.

Not sure what's with all the low reviews, i enjoyed this episode alot and not sure what everyone is complaining about. I thought this episode is great at showing the power struggles that Boba is going through right now, and how he doesnt know who to trust just yet. While slowly building his crew he recruits some new biker gang, and i admit they do feel a bit out of place, almost like some kids from that show Euphoria on HBO max. But they got a cool concept behind them being half machine half human. Boba is making his moves carefully to ensure his throne doesn't get threatened. The baby rancor scene was pretty wholesome too. I like the direction the story is going. You can downvote me idc. This episode was good.

After a great episode last week, The Book of Boba Fett took a step back this week. For me, it is mainly because Robert Rodriguez is back in the director's chair.

My main complaint is how bad the action was done in this episode. The fight with Black Krrsantan was awkward and slow. He was so intimidating in the last episode, but comes across as a guy in a monkey suit fighting a bunch of teenagers in this episode. Then comes the biker chase scene later in the episode which comes across EXTREMELY slow. Maybe the slowest high speed chase in tv history haha. These issues fall on bad direction and poor editing by the director.

Besides the bad action, there is just awkward pacing which I felt in the last Robert Rodriguez episode. So far, I'm not impressed with him. His style comes across as amateur and fan made. Then there's just some weird character choices like Boba smiling while petting a rancor and talking to it like a puppy. That just doesn't feel very Boba Fett. The biker gang as a whole has a weird aesthetic, and seem unnecessary at the moment.

These issues I mentioned just take me out of the world and don't bring the immersive experience that Star Wars usually is. From a story aspect, not much is happening so far in this show, and episodes like this make it really drag. Thankfully, I believe this is the last episode directed by Robert Rodriguez for the rest of the season. I'm sure it'll get better, but I just expected better production from a Star Wars show.

Once again, the Gamorreans are shown to be weak. I expected these guys to be tough, and ferocious, like NFL linebackers fishing their way through the offensive line and sacking the QB with extremely unnecessary roughness. But just like we saw in Chapter 2, they're good for nothing.

Boba Fett was such a badass in The Mandalorian. Now we see him all wet in his undies getting the life squeezed out of him and his toes curling up. Pathetic!

Boba Fett now has 7 bodyguards: Fennec, the 2 Gamorreans, and the 4 Go Go Power Ranger Scooter Gang Punks. But not one of them was guarding him when he was at his most vulnerable, snoozing in his bacta tank?

Let's not talk about that low speed Landspeeder chase that could have ended at any point in time because Boba Fett has a jetpack.

The moment the chick opened her mouth (amongst the United Colors of Benetton youth) when Boba addressed her, one knew it is going to be just another clichee tv trope. OH no! The merchant is really bad! And the poor kiddies have no other way but to steal their way through life. Boba sympathises :( , poor poor kiddies.

They could at least build/portray us a harsh life and world of Tatooine and the person Boba had to become before showing us he is still good underneath(not counting the pathetic Dances with wolfes). Instead we see him constantly being a pathetic loser who does nothing and is compassionate with everyone all the time. Im all for compassion but come on, the show is supposed to be entertainment.

This, is so bad I have trouble believing Favreau had anything to do with it. It is sticking to EVERY trope and basic of the "writers handbook 101" there is and doing the whole season on a budget Im guessing is the equivalent of half an episode of Expanse.

Just cancel this travesty.

Loved the rancid. Hated almost everything else. Do SOMETHING, Boba, anything! Go talk with the other families or kill the pykes, I don't know, just do!

It's really tiresome seeing him do nothing and be weak.

Truely...the bike gang was lame and the chase scene poorley made... But omg this Rancor gave me everything i have ever wanted!!

10/10 for that Rancor scene, 5/10 for the rest.

Came for Boba Fett. Stayed for Danny Trejo and the Rancor. Pefection.

Regardless of the back to the future chase scene. I swear, that biker gang was taken right out of BttF 2. It seemed a little bit out of place. Plus the first time we see Fett use his jetpack and it was kind of underwhelming. Fett could've chased him... All said and done, it was a great episode. The weakest so far but still good.

Moped gang brings the wrong vibe to the show. They belong in Whoville, not Star Wars. The scene of them chasing the mayors was so cringy and looked terrible. Why were they going so uncomfortably slow? Please have Boba help them with their style and, get rid of the scooters and give them speeders or kill them off.

I audibly sighed & then said to myself "not MORE flashbacks" in this episode... Which just encapsulates how painfully repetitive, predictable & monotonous this series is quickly becoming.

As if that wasn't bad enough, I then had to sit through an awfully contrived introduction of stereotypically young, "hip", "edgy" & "cool" characters - who act like hormonal teenagers, riding futuristic motorcycles - so the old protagonist can surround himself with a crew that'll hopefully look less dated, relating to youthful audiences more, in the hopes that he seems more "down with the kids".

No idea if this means we're supposed to perceive him as some kind of lovable space grandad but okay?

Furthermore, I get Disney is a soulless, corporate production company that's motivated entirely by greed, which views its major properties as nothing but marketable brands - heavily influenced by what's deemed "commercial" / "profitable" at the moment, as trends change... But the brazenness of the reasoning behind this creative decision here seemed particularly desperate, as if their inclusion was solely to boost optics & remain relevant.

Embarrassingly superficial.
