It feels like this show had eight different people in charge that all wanted to do different things.
Putting the two outstanding Mando episodes aside (because they really have nothing to do with the Boba series), the action sucked, the non-Ludwig music sucked, the acting sucked, most of the set pieces sucked, the writing sucked, and those godforsaken Vespa kids rank right up there with the worst elements of the prequels. The exceptions were the flashbacks of the sarlacc escape, bonding with the Tuskens, and Bane.
They should’ve gone the bounty hunter series route and focused on the rougher, seedier elements of the universe instead of turning Boba into a good guy that can barely fight anymore and stands around while others do all the interesting stuff.
Are we to take the beeping light on Bane’s chest to mean he’s still alive?
Also, how many times do you need to shoot a shield generator before maybe trying a different approach?

Weird way to make great points and then undo them all with a dumb nitpick
This whole episode was so stupid
Ends.

I liked the ending. It was not as good as last weeks episode which was always going to be tough.
Boba riding a rancor and taking out Cade Bane was kick ass.
Boba mocking the Mandalorian Cree was interesting.
Grogu saving the day what more can you ask for
No real need for season 2 at this stage.
I was hoping for a Mace Windu twist tbh.

Let’s just forget about this series and never mention it again. Even the x wing and r2 didn’t help it. As if Luke would just let him rock off after promising to protect his life.
What if the ship guy pulled over just like last episode and there was no pilot as far as they could see?
Oh my god there’s more and more wrong in here the more I think of it. Make basic sense. Have *some* level of consistency

I’d warn you against it.
Go try heat a kettle with your breath.
It’ll be quicker and more enjoyable

Give it a month. You’ll think it’s the best Star Wars ever

Normally you’d be right.
In a month I’ll hopefully have forgotten about this. Entirely.

Was kind of hoping that Mando season 3 would be him on mandalore dealing with that stuff but now it looks like he’ll be carrying grogu around the galaxy again

Geezes.
I know i keep hammering on about that poster but you show luke with an ignited lightsaber on it at least give us something.
This series was bad. I know there were a couple good moments (really just luke) and that was related to mando.
I feel bad for morrisson because i think he deserved better as far as boba fett is concerned. I agree, they should have not turned him into a good guy and showed him bounty hunting around the galaxy. What actually happened here?
Ranco was fun.
Nothing felt right and there was no consistency in the music either.
What the fuck was the point of the post credit scene? That Vanth is coming back? Why? Because he's a fun actor?
Cad Bane was the best part. That guy stole stole scenes. The series should have focused more on Boba and Cad Bane doing bounty hunter shit and then ended with them facing off.
When is the next star wars? Im ready to move on from this one. Not good.

Yes, it was ok. Mid tier for this season. Lots of action, and a conclusion to the main conflict in the Boba-show. Moved Mando forward as well.

Moderators?
Please shut this thread and bury it somewhere dark and inaccessible

Is this the live action Star Wars you have liked the least?

The Good
- The rancor was great. That could have been some shitty fx, but it was well done. Even the crumbling buildings were great.
- Cad Bane's stuff was excellent. Loved the last showdown. I hope he's alive, b/c Star Wars needs to stop killing off great villians.
- Grogu snuggling with the rancor? I mean c'mon! Yay!
The Bad
- Why do the Vespas look so bad? They even had great speeder effects with the one that Fennec was riding.
- How is any of this a war? They were counting on Freetown? Their whole town was about 10 people. What kind of pussies are the Pikes? They lost a whole planet to an army of less than 20 people.
I, overall, enjoyed the series and the finale. Dime's being dramatic. I'm ready for Mandalorian, Season 4.

I think the vespas look bad because they’re colorful and shiny. No vehicles in the OT looked like that and the existing ones in Mos Espa are all the same drab, weather-beaten tones we saw in the OT.

The battle could maybe have involved larger numbers.
