Did 8D8 really tell Fett that one of the factions vying for power was called the "Cartoonians?" Was he just effing with him to see if he'd notice?

Poor 8D8 isn't used to such a ******** boss; he's probably the one who left the door open for Black Krrsantan. "Anyone but this *****; he's going to be the end of me!"

Why am I starting to get the feeling that Favreau is ******* this up on purpose. To teach Disney and Kennedy a lesson...
He did Mando s1 & s2 all on his own merrit with Filoni. The fans loved Mando s1. So, s2 they brought in Fett, made him the bad *** we wanted to see, and the fans cried with joy. After s2, Disney said hey, if you want to keep having full autonomy on this Mando character you created, you need to give us a Boba Fett show. Before you make your Mando s3. But, you need to do it our way, the Disney way. The fans will just love our Boba. Surely it will be received even better then your Mando guy. And make us even richer.
And here we are....Surely this just HAS to be the reason as to why or how on earth this is turning out to be soooo bad. Favreau and Rodriguez are friends. This is one big inside joke for them.
Never did I think I'd like this Mando character more than Boba Fett...
I’ve been thinking something similar, a one for me, one for you thing but your theory makes more sense!! A giant FU. Maybe he wants to get out of SW and this was the way to do it or a test to see if KK knew the difference between good and bad SW. We will probably never find out.
Just watched the episode again. That Vespa chase has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Those things hover like two inches off the ground and go what 40 miles per hour? Yet it's shot and scored like we're supposed to be watching a scene from Ronin. Hilarious and I *love* it.
If they make figures of that gang I'm getting them all, lol.

Boba Fett looks like a big baby when he was fighting the black Wookie.

That girl with the metal arm and her gang don't look like they belong in SW. They look like they belong in Cyber Punk or some Anime like Alita Battle Angel. They look kind of cool tho.
They are straight out of BTTF2.

Thought it was just me...So I avoided this thread all day till I watched it tonight. And before I go back and read through everyone's comments, all I wanna add is...
WTF did I just watch? The girly and her gang are terrible. And that has got to be THE worst chase scene I have ever seen!! And there have been some bad ones over the years... Those bikes look awful. So dumb for the poor kids to have "new" shiny fancy rides. That seem to be the slowest speeder bikes ever made. I felt like it was happening in slow motion.
Well, so much for the Tusken gang becoming his minions. But, the girl and kid weren't there. The best part was him getting his new pet Rancor.
I still don't know what to make of this show. I'm so confused.
I felt like the chase, or the bikes anyway, were really slow. I don't know whether that was the plan or the FX guys messed up.

They already castrated Boba Fett, why not do it to the Rancor?

Read the following line of dialogue from the next episode and guess the context:
“Who’s a good boy? Yes that’s you! that’s you! Jump! Jump!”
1) BF talking to the Rancor
2) Fennec talking to BF
“Who’s a good boy? Yes that’s you! that’s you! Jump! Jump!”

I watch it a second time and noticed this in the scene when he burn dead tuskens, I overlooked it at first. Sorry to ruin your hopes.

Those spoilers are starting to sound more credible now:

Temuera Morrison vividly remembers the first time he tried on his Boba Fett suit.
He sat in a meeting room with Star Wars VIP producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, wearing a darker version of the armor he’d worn two decades earlier in the Star Wars prequels as bounty hunter Jango Fett, the man who provided the genetic material to create Boba — and he instantly felt stronger, with the urge to stick his chest out a little. There was no denying the electricity of the moment. And Filoni, one of the chief architects in Star Wars’ new era of pop culture relevance, gave a passing grade with his eyes — eyes that Morrison described as twinkling.
Filoni then said that they’d made the right decision in bringing Morrison back to Star Wars as one of the franchise’s most popular characters.
“I was so excited to attend this meeting I actually got there three hours early,” Morrison told The Washington Post. “I just wanted to make the most out of the opportunity.”
Morrison wasn’t just the right choice. He was the only choice. More specifically, the only face.
The character debuted in the infamous 1978 Star Wars animated holiday special, of all things. He then appeared in 1980’s “The Empire Strikes Back” (played by late actor Jeremy Bulloch) as a bounty hunter. He died after Han Solo accidentally jammed the rocket that was on his back in 1983’s “Return of the Jedi.” But he remained immensely popular with fans because he had the audacity to look cooler than Darth Vader while standing next to him. Boba Fett lived on through novels, comic books, action figures and conventions.
But death doesn’t always stick in the Star Wars universe. Especially for the most buzzed-about characters. Just ask Darth Maul, another Star Wars prequel character Filoni resurrected (in the animated “The Clone Wars” series). Favreau and Filoni crafted another back-from-the-dead revival for Boba Fett, explaining his survival in the first episode of the new series “The Book of Boba Fett,” which debuted last month on Disney Plus. Because the character is a clone of his “father” Jango Fett — who died at the hands of Mace Windu’s (Samuel L. Jackson) lightsaber in “Star Wars/Episode II: Attack of the Clones” — that meant a now-grown-up Boba had to have the same face.
Rare is the acting opportunity that allows an actor to portray both the father and the son, but if there’s one thing the Star Wars universe has always excelled in, it’s dramatic paternity issues. Morrison couldn’t be happier with the technicality that allowed him to return to the bloodline of a role he began in his 40s and now returns to in his 60s.
“It was nice to actually come back and work hard and do some good stuff in terms of the drama, in terms of the acting, in terms of the action,” Morrison said. “Especially in these mature years that I have attained.”
Morrison was given a test drive as Boba Fett in 2020 during the sixth episode of Season 2 of “The Mandalorian.” It was an action-packed affair with a wild West vibe full of laser blasts and exploding ships, directed by Robert Rodriguez. Morrison said he and Rodriguez bonded on set by playing guitars together between scenes. Shooting that episode was when he realized he could take Boba Fett further than just a cameo appearance if he were ever asked to do so.
“Everything clicked with Robert Rodriguez,” Morrison said of the director who also helmed the first episode of “The Book of Boba Fett. “I think I had to show some stuff once I appeared in ‘The Mandalorian.’ I think that gave them confidence to say hey I think this guy can handle it. To be in this family of Disney and [Lucasfilm] and having to hold the reins as a number one was a great honor.”
The New Zealand-born actor also takes great pride in the rarity of being a major Star Wars performer who comes from an Indigenous background. It’s a status he doesn’t take lightly. Morrison has met many Indigenous actors over the years who have told him his career was of great influence to them. While he was filming “Aquaman,” he was moved to learn that one of his breakout movies 1994′s “Once We Were Warriors,” about a family that descends from a Maori legacy, had a strong impact on that film’s star, Jason Momoa.
“Here’s a young, Brown, Hawaiian growing up in Iowa — he found that movie really moved him spiritually in terms of his identity. I guess at the end of the day [many] people are trying to find their roots … who they are,” Morrison said. “We’re proud of those Indigenous roots. We can take that life force that we have from our Indigenous culture, we can blend it, transform and use some of the energy to give us confidence, and also to make us perform at a level that is good so that we do get noticed. It is our power. It is who we are.”
For the moment, Morrison is mum on just how much of his face we’ll be seeing on Disney Plus outside of “The Book of Boba Fett.” There are multiple Star Wars streaming series in production (including “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Ahsoka”) that present opportunities for him to appear not only as Boba Fett but other clone troopers that share his face. They gained popularity in “The Clone Wars,” while voiced by actor Dee Bradley Baker.
“Well, there are people — I’m thinking of Captain Rex for one. He looks a little like me. There’s Commander Cody. What happened to those guys? There’s all those clone armies,” Morrison said. “That could be something fresh and new and exciting.”

He’s show running not directing. It’s being directed by three brits that have come from tv background.

You know what the biggest issue is? We don’t have a coherent story. It’s all loose threads, nothing really happens. The tusken flashbacks was the only thing close to a good story. Overall this show is moving towards a dumpster fire.
Yes. I mentioned it before, it feels like every episode is incomplete. Like 10 mins of story was randomly cut.
