I liked it a lot. There were several things that I wish were different, but several things I liked a lot.
For one thing, those Super-Droidekas are insanely strong, because they don’t seem to have any weaknesses. Normally Droideka’s shields or SW Shields in general are purely energy based, or even if they’re resistant to kinetic projectiles you can just… walk through them. They were dangerous enough even after their shields went down. They didn’t seem very bright, which helped Boba’s group a lot, but still.
Also, why did Boba take the Rancor instead of the Slave 1? It would be faster to get there, and take out those droids a lot faster. Cool to see the rancor and everything it did, but painful. And I highly doubt a gunship can’t take out something with shields. Sisemic Charges might be a bit overkill, but it has missiles too.
Wish Boba had rallied some Tuskens, wish Cad had done more, kind of wish Fennec and Cad had interacted more.
In short, a lot of decisions that were cinematically great but narratively unsatisfying.
But the Rancor scenes were all awesome, and Boba and Cad’s duel was everything I could have wanted. Cad’s a better duelist, but Boba’s more versitile, and they both honored each other. I also like they both tried a lot of the same things. And Fennec is an assassin and showed it excellently.
Also that post credits scene was nice. Usually post credit scenes are “look, we’re making a new show/movie about this character”. This one just confirms Cobb survived, and I have absolutely no idea where it’s going. (Yes, I know it’s probably Mando Season 3, but you know what I mean.)
