...Which means we need to get on the ball now and look ahead to any rare guns that are few in number that would make good Star Wars guns in the future...thanks for the heads up...thats my favorite of all the blasters so far...especially after losing an auction the other day on a RO72

Of course it was, like another hundred of small things in these series. Still cool

It seems to me that BF is played as an "Has-Been" throughout the episode. Mando is the guy

I was thrilled when I saw they went with a Bergmann when previews for the show started coming out. The open secret is a lot of early semi-auto pistols make good bases for SW blasters and doing so is also keeping in the spirit of them utilizing a Mauser C96 to make DL-44s 40 years ago. A lot of pistols from that era just have a weird and unusual look. I keep waiting for a Mauser 1906/08 to pop up!
As the waves of excitement from episode 5 recede, my feeling is giddy anticipation for The Mandalorian and primarily disappointment for TBOBF. I have never seen a show demonstrate all that's wrong with it in the middle of the season.
Mando- respected and intimidating. Heck, even his silhouette is awesome in the meat locker scene! Boba- forced to tell everyone his name (including droids)
Mando- says less and his words have more meaning. Snappy one liners and catch phrase- "Wizard." " I can bring you in warm..." Boba- talks too much - "Go make baby Banthas."
Mando- exciting high speed flight on a starfighter. Boba- plodding along on a Bantha.
Mando- takes down a group of thugs singlehandedly. Boba- gets beat up and dragged back to the palace for treatment.
Mando- thrilling and at times heartwarming- excellent pacing and music with properly placed exotic characters in other worlds. Boba- slow, disjointed, poorly paced with forgettable supporting cast.
This episode seems to reaffirm that TBOBF was slapped together while waiting for the next season of Mando. I kind of wish they would have left Boba alone. I really like Tem but Pedro demonstrates more emotion behind a helmet than Tem does without. Unfortunately, I am afraid that the next two episodes of TBOBF can't live up to the excitement we just felt yesterday. (I am still in it to the end but conflicted.)

At first, I thought we had switched planets, and that was a Zygerrian dragon and Zygerrian ziggurats in the background.
I also didn’t hear the rumors about the N-1, and while the tarp was on the ship, I thought it was Grievous’ Belbullab-22.
Where’s DD supposed to keep his bounties? How’s he supposed to freeze them?
Thats certainly an interesting chest plate she's wearing
That looks like a bedspread I used to have... lol

Yeah it honestly was a super weird choice to dedicate an entire (50min!) episode to Mando in the middle of a show about Boba Fett. The episode was great but it didn’t do any service to Fett’s story and it certainly didn’t seem to do any favors to Boba Fett himself. It really only confirms how many of us feel and highlighted the very contrasts we’ve been discussing.
Was it intentional? Are they really trying to showcase how much cooler their new original character is? Intentional or not, it sure seems like that’s what they’re doing.
I had not fallen out of love of Mando but its been a while and sorely wanted this Bad Ass Boba intent on revenge..It seems to me that BF is played as an "Has-Been" throughout the episode. Mando is the guy
Instead we get served up an "I love Lucy" show every week!
Lucy even does the Fennec eye roll..
There isn't room for both and as others have said Mando is the Boba we wanted.
Bam Mando shows up we get Outer space cool Aliens a shoot out and some mythology all in the mix..
Plus he reunites with Fozzy Bear on Tatooine

Size matters not! Small my blaster is, but powerful in shooting is it.

Maybe now that Boba’s had his final bacta treatment, he’ll be able to kick some booty again.

This is the job of a director of photography, not the director. The director will communicate his vision to a DP, yes, but ultimately not his role. A director’s job on set is primarily dealing with the actors. Which…he’s doing a terrible job of. It’s like he’s having them read their line out once and then immediately calling, “cut, print, that’s a DC! Moving on.”

I loved how they showed Mando injured and "Human" and limping around. Let's face it ...Mando has had his can handed to him on occassion but he is relatable...i like that.
