Let's chat about Ep3.Not sure how I feel about this one. Spoiler (Highlight to read)The scooter gang was cool (even thought that "car chase" was a bit campy). Krrsantan was fun to watch. I already felt bad for the Rancor when it was being brought into the pit and the was BEFORE Danny Trejo (always good to see him make an appearance) filled us in on Rancor characteristics. But, Boba also seems like a bit of a naive leader, especially given I've always thought of him as calculated and tactical. Also, why even bother with being the ruler of Mos Espa? Couldn't he make a better/easier living elsewhere? Hoping to see more of the reasons and motivations for his actions in the coming episodes.

Wow this episode hits hard.Hello Danny Trejo, cyberpunks, and BK battle!Stoked to see more of the current timeline this epsiode; and its setting up a bigger bad (Qira maybe?) Even the bacta flashback arc is setting an amazing flashback revenge sequence for next ep.If I could name this episode it would be "How to train your Rancour" lol

I struggled to contain my laughter watching this one. From the space punks who really doesnt belong in Star Wars let alone Tatooine, a place filled with real criminals and murderers (Luke almost got killed the first time he set his foot into a bar, and he was as inconspicuous as one gets) with their space vespas, the laughable "assassination attempt" by Black Krrsantan which alongside the one in episode 1 makes me wonder if assassination means something else in Star Wars, and the 30 km/h (thats 48 mph for you jankies) chase scene was just too much.

I agree. Some nice fan candy here and there but the weakest episode by far. The street gang felt so out of place.

Also, It's hard to waste Stephen Root but they did here.

Second episode that Robert Rodriguez has put a Spy Kids stamp on. The hipster moped gang is just bad in every aspect. The rest was fairly good. But the camp and 90s TV quality action need to be removed permanently. The Mandalorian was so much cooler in every aspect. Major parts of this show just feel cheap and poorly done.

I’m enjoying the show so far, but I agree that they need to sort some things out. First things first: This does not feel like Boba Fett. It feels like Temuera Morrison acting really well, but not Boba Fett. Each episode feels like a half-baked idea that doesn’t meld with any of the other episodes. Aside from the cyberpunk bikers, the acting and cool concepts are carrying the show.

I’m not as sold on the acting. I like the actors, but their line delivery has been very stilted in every episode. Almost as if they can’t bring themselves to say the crap lines they’re being fed. Ming Na and Temuera both seem disinterested.

I get where you’re coming from with Ming Na, I feel like the near boredom is part of Temuera’s character, but I could be wrong. The side characters are selling it in my opinion.

I can say this, I didn’t think the episode was bad, however I do have a few things that I bother me, such as, how did Krrsantan even get in undetected? Or that the weird cyborg bikers don’t seem like they really fit in with the setting of tatooine, they seem like they wouldn’t look so out of place in a more mechanical environment, as opposed to a backwater desert planet teeming with gruff-looking criminals and crime syndicates. I also agree that Boba Fett does seem to come off as rather naive for a man that had been bounty hunting since he was a child, and was one of, if not the most feared bounty hunter of his time for his ruthless efficiency when it came to getting a job done.

I did like the little callback to the night sisters riding rancors into battle though, because I was personally under the impression that the night sisters were this highly mysterious group that most people wouldn’t even know existed.

Overall, I agree that while this episode does set up some promising events for the future, as far as it goes by itself, I think there is enjoyment to be had from it, however, to me it seems like the weakest episode thus far.

I really liked the Nightsisters reference too. That's all Filoni right there. I really like how he incorporates more off the beaten path SW lore into these series.

Isn't it going to be cool as hell when we get live action Nightsisters in one of these series at some point?

The biker kids looked more like they would hang out on Coruscant as rich kids wanting to be “dangerous” and rebel against their parents expectations, before they grow up and join the senate or starts going on diplomatic negotiations.
