Frankly, you don't create a show called The Mandalorian, and set it just after ROTJ, and not have Boba Fett in the mix.

I know - Just look how his absence in Season 1 ruined any chance of it being a success. Oh wait....

Oh my... first episode is pure SW porn. [emoji3590]
Yep remember true believers that the Razor Crest follows Lando to Exegol.
If they're smart they'll bring in BDW to record some lines now of him broadcasting the call for help and then they can play it during the series finale 10 years from now even if BDW is no longer with us.
In a perfect world they would have set Mando a bit closer to the ST so that in TROS itself audiences could have lost their **** seeing Mando, Cara, Cobb, Mechanic Lady, etc., showing up to save the day instead of just Zori and Babu, lol.
That would ****ing ruin this show. Keep that ST garbage far far far far away from this show.
This is why you fail...
You must be trolling. I thought he was really good, that seems to be the general consensus.

After Ahsoka distracts a younger Snoke with the Force, Mando strikes with the Darksaber giving Snoke the head scar.
lol
Umm all of that actually works lol

It was pretty wild seeing Fett being given the twin sun treatment which was always kept for the Skywalker lineage.
At least we now know how Fett escaped the Sarlaac all because the dragon killed it.
Speaking of the Dune dragon Moby **** battle it is hands down the best cgi creation ever created just for a tv show it truly was 300 million dollar quality at its finest.
The sand people really are sailors of the vast dune sea.
It out Dune?d Dune lol
Lucas always wanted a dragon now he got a full size one at long last.
That being said the ***** head design they went with shooting out acid was a bit suspect lol

Ah, ok. I didn’t put two and two together. The sarlaac that the dragon killed was the one Fett was in. That works so much better than Fett just getting out on his own. I can buy into that.

Imagine if when Mando blew open the dragon is when Boba escaped from within it lol
It would make sense because when the dragon ate the sarlaac it swallowed Boba along with it.
But I doubt they will go that route i’m just being silly lol
I'd be interested to know what you consider to be a good performance because he certainly had charisma and the acting was solid.
I dunno it was a pretty good episode, I'd give a solid 9/10. Pacing was on point the whole way through as I never found myself bored and was always interested in what was happening, interesting premise (a better Monster Hunter movie than the actual Monster Hunter movie coming out for sure), some good throwbacks and a great tease of things to come. Also, plenty of world building with the Tuskens and their culture which is always great.

I respect your opinion (everyone has the right to be wrong
), but I wasn't aware you were voted spokesperson for all people. 
Is it confirmed that the dragon killed the sarlacc? I assumed that maybe the sarlacc den was empty because Fett destroyed it (with a thermal detonator or something) when he escaped.

Yup in the episode the SP say that the dragon lives in an abandoned sarlaac pit to which Cobb responds there is no such thing and this is when Mando states it can exist if the dragon eats it.
1+1 = 2
I don't think the Krayt killed just one Sarlacc. It's lair was said to be an abandoned Sarlacc Pit but that cave obviously wasn't the one that Fett fell into. I think it was a different Sarlacc but it allowed us to indirectly learn how Fett escaped the one he was in without being digested for a thousand years. Unless I'm not connecting the dots properly.
Just watched it again. Man this may be my favorite episode yet and part of what's great about it is that even though it ends with a cliffhanger it really is an extremely satisfying self-contained episode. A few thoughts:
1. I didn't notice the first time around that Favreau himself directed this episode. Hell yeah give him a freaking movie or convince him to helm as many of these episodes as possible.
2. The Jeepers Creepers bartender shouting "They're monsters!" may be the new funniest moment in all of Star Wars, lol.
3. I can't believe that we have a weekly Star Wars show with better visuals than six of the nine Saga films.
4. Yep jye that Lawrence of Arabia music during the Bantha caravan was absolutely epic.
5. Cobb is just a tremendously likable character. Great charisma, off-beat swagger, and comedic timing. Watching him lose his temper over a *Tusken Raider refusing to sit down* was just another moment so awesomely bizarre I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
His "Unforgiven" moment in the bar with the mining goons was great and the fact that he grabbed his gun and helmet to take on the Krayt *by himself* with or without Mando makes him an instant top shelf badass no matter how dopey he sometimes looked in the suit. Plus he didn't scream like a girl when someone turned his jetpack on by surprise, lol. I definitely want him on his pod racer bike in 1:6 scale.
6. I really like that this episode re-established post-"Baby Yoda Mania" that this show is called "The Mandalorian."
7. I liked the seeming nods to 1981's Dragonslayer. Mando using himself as bait like the wizard but then remotely detonating the creature after the monster took the bait like the apprentice. Then leaving a gory rib cage corpse for everyone to celebrate over.
8. Mando flying out of the Krayt's mouth after being swallowed was a great stand-in for what so many of us probably pictured when we imagined how Fett might have escaped way back when the EU first declared that he survived. So it was awesome to see a version of that play out on screen. So epic.
9. The 4K picture was fantastic, even via streaming. Several scenes almost looked HFR as a result.
When this series has run it's course I won't be the least bit surprised if this episode is one of the ones I revisit the most.
