First episode of Season 2 Timothy Olyphant will walk onto the set with police & point Boba Fett out. They'll arrest him and throw him in jail, then the remaining episodes will be dedicated to "setting up" Season 4 of Mando. :lol

It would have been hilarious if this was the opening moment of BOBF, lol.

As we like saying up in this forum HOLY CRAP LOL :lol
 
Since Disney seems obsessed with character/redemption arcs I guess I can get behind this one too. Maybe an older war-weary Boba *can* change?

(They took it a bit far with Han though. He went from good guy to scoundrel and back twice!)

Absolutely. Unfortunately they skipped the 'arc' bit and went straight to the finished article leaving those of us who care about such things like this

Yeah, and you really have to accept this Fett as TM's true age rather than his character's age (due to multiple references from Drash, Bane, etc., to him being an "old man." I guess if we want to handwave an explanation for why he appears 20 or so years older than he should we can say that the Sarlacc was draining his life essence or something. Not that many here will bother to do that since it seems to be making very few people's canon list.

Not gonna lie I found myself getting hit in the feels at the beginning of the shootout and Mando started to go down but Fett reached over to steady his loyal buddy. But I've long been getting soft in my old age as well, lol.

So, as I mentioned earlier, I decided to watch Episodes 1-4 and 7 today with no pause and no Mandalorian intermission. I'm going to honestly say that I enjoyed the series a LOT more the second time around. Maybe my expectations were lower, maybe I've been suckered by the cool HT 1/4 Fett, or maybe watching it week to week just didn't provide any continuity to the story. With episodes 1 and 3 being weaker than 2 and 4, watching back to back really helped tie things together a bit more. I watched the finale for exactly what it was: a ridiculous battle royale with silly RR stunts, Rockette knee dart shots and questionable strategic decisions, but at the end of the day I can say that I'm OK with the BoBF. I think some of the questionable things that bugged me the first time, bothered me less the second time:

  1. Boba crashing Slave 1 in the Hanger was better this time as the hanger door is closed, it's dark and he can't see, plus it's a tight squeeze. I see they were trying to build drama in the escape and maybe missed the mark.
  2. Slave 1 in the Sarlacc. Chalk up him forgetting where his armor went to the time passed out in the desert. He thinks it's dead, so he's just trying to see inside it when it grabs on. The sonic charge was cool. Not as terrible as the first time.
  3. The rabbit droid in the kitchen. Yeah, this was still stupid. This is trying to add that Jar Jar type humor but you just can't do it with Fett.
  4. Like a bantha. We got a great meme out of it and in reality, he's bonding with his adopted Tusken tribe and trying to educate them on how to ride a speeder. It's goofy but I didn't hate it this time around.
  5. Helmet off. I guess knowing that the helmet was coming off lessened the annoyance for me. I actually found that it wasn't off as often as I recall and it wasn't as wildly inappropriate as I remember it.
Now, bring on 1/6 Boba, Cad Bane and Black Kristin.

You really are I was shocked when I learned that you had joined the Hunter Biden group watch of the SW holiday special!

Yes it's true we've got our High Republic costumes picked out and everything. He's donning black face to arrive as the overweight African American lesbian Jedi and I'm going as that one rock that copilots the ship, lol.

Nice! Dude I can't tell you how happy I was that he kept his helmet on for the entire final battle until Bane finally tore it off (which actually made sense since he was about to do a headshot.)
 
Cad Bane was great. The voice alone sells him. Even if I hadn't watched TCW I'd like him just from that intro. It was the most tense, if not the only tense scene in the show.

Boba escaping the Sarlacc (the first time :lol) could have been intense but they rushed it and him crawling out of the sand was a joke.
