The Book of Boba Fett

Well Bryce Dallas Howard didn't disappoint.

Gosh that was a good episode. Seriously the hot rodded N-1 alone would have made me love this episode. Next to the X-wing, the N-1 is my favorite ship. Please LEGO, please make a model!
Here is our N-1 starfighter - just needs a few modifications…

S1 E5 was 99.9% all Mando in a Boba Fett series with two episodes to go before The Book of Boba Fett season one is finished.

As it has already been said - S1 E5 seems more like S3 E1 of The Mandalorian. It really didn't move the Fett story along except for two lines of dialog.

So with that said - stay with me here - does anyone but me think that TBoBF S1 E6 and S1 E7 WON'T show the final battle with the Pikes, but save the final battle VS the Pike for The Mandalorian S3 E1????

Mando gets asked to join Fett, and he's in, but first, "I gotta pay a visit to a little friend."

Since the majority of TBoBF has been more "Boba Flat" than anything, this will get people fired up and talking.

TBoBF S1 E6 split between Mando reuniting with Grogu, presenting his "gift" and half is Fett doing more recruiting.

S1 E7 is the hired guns ammasing and maybe dealing with a Pike spy in the newly renamed Fett's Palace. Mando shows up and dispatches the spy. I can see the last TBoBF episode ending one of two ways -
A.) a few seconds right before the fight/battle/mission takes place
B.) after a few minutes of furious fighting, one of our secondary characters gets hit, goes down, and it's not looking too good (Fenic again?) and at that point the screen goes black with...

TO BE CONCLUDED IN THE MANDALORIAN SEASON 3

Are John and Dave that bold?
 
Finally got around to starting this show.

Really liked the first episode. The big centaur lizard thing looked very Harryhausen inspired to me, something about how it moved.

I assume you’ve read all 204 pages of this thread too right
****** no. I'm on covid leave, but I'm not THAT bored


So, just finished ep2. The Hutts were great to see, and that Wookie looks like a badass.

Sometimes these shows look movie level awesome and sometimes they look expensive video game awesome, and I feel like the train sequence was the latter. Still, had fun with it.

It's nice to connect the dots between Boba from RotJ and Boba in Mando season 2. I'm less interested in the flashbacks though, so hopefully we spend more time in the present going forward.
 
After ep.3, I had no intention of watching ep.4 anytime soon.
And after finding out who the director of ep.5 was, I was certainly in no hurry to watch that one either.
Then I came (back) here to read the damage and enjoy the humorous destruction.

After going through a few pages, I opted to watch the show tonight.

Wow. That was fun, plain and simple!
There was still some very annoying moments in there, but wow!! What a contrast!
That was so much fun!! :)

The BDH slander! But seriously, I’ve liked her previous episodes a lot. Her S1 episode got undue criticism because it was the very first episode that went off the main storyline, which isn’t her fault. The direction is solid. I loved how terrifying the AT-STs are portrayed to a small village. Her S2 episode was just great all around imo.

It’s funny that I realized this is her second episode to open up with Klatooinians.
 
Episode 5 and the fan response is definite evidence that if there's actual decent content the majority will respond positively.

I watched it again and still really enjoyed it, totally holds up. Minus the crazy cat lady mechanic lol but the N1 was great. Always liked those. Would be interesting if it turned out to be the same one Anakin flew in TPM. But that would be a stretch, what would it be doing on Tatooine? So maybe not lol.

Ever since I read somewhere that Alan Rickman had auditioned for Jerjerrod (or whatever his name is in ROTJ) I wished he’d been in something Star Wars. Alas, it never will be. RIP Alan.
He would have chewed up the whole franchise literally..that silky gravel voice of his... But amazing at the same time.
Another vote for Ed Harris Great as the man in black in Westworld..

So the mystery of Paz Vizsla....

When he was first introduced the credits called him Paz Vizla. But Vizla is a Mandalorian clan from SWTOR. Vizsla, is the clan that Pre and Tarre Vizsla(creator of the darksaber) are members of.

So did they decide change who Paz was? Or was it a typo in the credits?

If I'm remembering right it was a typo. The episode aired with "Vizla" in the credits initially, but this same question was brought up after Episode 3 "The Sin" aired, and was then swiftly corrected, like within a week if I remember right, to Vizsla, which is what the credits say now.
 
Considering Dave was the one who came up with it, I will assume this is still the backstory... After the last time the Republic glassed Mandalore (The Mandalorian Excision, about a thousand BBY), some started wondering if maybe if they abandoned their warlike stance the Republic would leave them alone. About a hundred years BBY this coalesced into the New Mandalorian pacifist movement. It spread through the home system, but had less sway on outlying worlds like Concord Dawn.

It was definitely not universally accepted, though, and led to civil war. There's reference to this in The Mandalorian's "The Tragedy" -- Boba refers to Jango being a Foundling who fought in the Mandalorian Civil Wars. This is directly what happens in the pre-Disney Dark Horse comic miniseries/graphic novel Jango Fett: Open Season. Some out on Concord Dawn rejected the New Mandalorian philosophy and reclaimed their warrior heritage, but there was a schism between those who thought it should be about honor and respect... and those who wanted a return to the old days of conquest.

Somewhere in here, a young Obi-Wan Kenobi was protecting a young Satine Kryze from people who were trying to kill her. Probably Death Watch. She didn't start the New Mandalorian movement, and they had been in ascendency/the Republic-recognized government for some decades by the time she was installed as Governor of the Mandalore System. It is quite possible the New Mandalorian movement started on Kalevala -- the next planet out from the Mandalore/Concordia trojan pair. Prime Minister Saxon of Mandalore and Governor Vizsla of Concordia certainly were covert traditionalists, at any rate.

Also, if titles are hereditary, I wonder if this means Bo-Katan has been the Duchess of Kalevala since Satine's death, as well as anything else.

The true question is...is where the hell is Corky Kenob...I mean Kryze in all of this??
