Man oh Man would I love to see Jaxxon on this show, played completely straight. (Or maybe with a couple funny looks from Mayfeld.)

In the audio descripion track for Chapter 3, the graffiti is described as a stylized Huttese symbol. It translates into the Huttese “K”, which I guess would ostensibly stand for “Kintan.”

Might stand for "Kanjiklub."

My favorite line of the episode"

"The Pyke Syndicate are draining Tatooine of its wealth."

WHAT WEALTH? "If there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from.”

Unless Bantha poodoo is a commodity I wasn't aware of.

Jaxx, she was talking about Jaxx.

Jaxxon.. mentioned way back in the distance of this Thread was a cool character shown inbetween the movies in the Marvel comic universe, apparently soon to be seen in an Animation project ?

Sure woulda been great if it were tacked onto one of the 30min episodes.. i think we’re done with flash backs now, no? Wait what am I saying.. thatd mean seeing more of Rodriguez’s childrens TV commercial quality directing

SinCity was hardly a kiddie flic nor Machete or Planet Terror... not in our neck of the woods anyway lol
The Problem any director has working for "The House of Mouse" is trying to keep your head above the Tidal Wave of changes stipulations and Wants....
Heck even the Giant that is Ron Howard struggled with Solo picking up the pieces and Actually making a strong coherent movie..
Look at how many have crashed and burnt at the hands of Disney...they can literally kill your career.
Knives Out proved that RJ could direct and also make it enough of a success to warrant a sequel..

Hey let's hope Corridor Crew on YouTube do an X rated Boba Edit!

Well with All that Silica they might be The Best Windscreen Replacement service in the Galaxy

Well, I gotta say I didn't hate this one. I thought it was a definite improvement over the last episode. Not perfect but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

The mod parlor was absolute cringe with terrible music but I guess that's how they are gonna explain why Fennec has robotic innards when it would've made more sense for her to have had bacta treatment. Apparently Fett didn't have access to that and it was the best he could do. I suppose I'll buy that.

I like that we finally hear some motivations and the logic behind Fett wanting to bother with the crimelord game. I don't think this show is gonna delve as deep as we had hoped but the odds were against it I suppose. I thought it was potentially interesting that Fennec did not recognize Fett when she woke up. While not conclusive, it struck me that this could be an indirect reference that perhaps she had only seen him helmeted and he didn't in fact remove his helmet as often as "new-Fett" does now. I would think given the circles she operated in, she surely was aware of him before and otherwise surely would've recognized him. I also like that Fennec even mentions that living with the Tuskens has made him soft and I believe that's the first reference we have had within the show that he is indeed different than he was. She recognizes that and knows what he once was. For better or worse, this is not pre-RoTJ Fett. Whether or not that's the Fett we wanted to see, at least it's self-referential. Maybe one day we'll get a show with a younger, less weather-beaten Fett in his prime, with the cold, dark side many fans wanted to see. lol!

I guess banthas are actually omnivores?

Still curious how Bib Fortuna double-crossed Fett. Maybe this was something that didn't happen recently but still kinda weird to bring up with no explanation regardless.

I just adore Slave I. It's bar none one of my favorite ship designs. I still wish they had gone with the TESB interior rather than the earlier AOTC version but whatever. I always enjoy seeing Slave I in action and wiping out the biker gang was one of the more visceral things we've seen in a show that so far has been pretty tame. I do think he'll later see it was probably not that gang that wiped out the Tuskens, as Fennec suggested. I do find it weird that the sarlacc's grip is apparently strong enough to overpower a ship. His difficulty getting the ship out of the the palace motor pool was also weird considering he presumably flew it in there and unloaded Han. Unless the ship had been moved there in his absence. Presumably this is where the Khetanna would've been stored so given the space Slave I takes up, it seemingly would've been in the way if it had been there the whole time. Also, if they're gonna avoid saying "Slave I", the scene where he mentions retrieving his "Firespray gunship" was serviceable to me. The ship isn't renamed it would seem; they are just skirting around the issue. Still silly but it's whatever.

I guess the reason behind Fett's extensive bacta treatments was indeed the sarlacc's acid but from his second go around. Seems weird it'd be so potent given the slow digestion rate (even if it doesn't actually take 1000 years). He didn't really look any worse off than he already did though. I'm not sure why he thought his armor was in the sarlacc unless he was just in survival "autopilot" during his escape and was delirious enough to not remember.

Seeing Krrsantan again was nice and I was so glad they had him rip the Trandoshan's arm off even after Garsa's long spiel. My eyes were prepared to roll mightily but was pleasantly surprised. I will say it seems sketchy for Fett to trust Krrsantan, given his track record.

Judging from the riff at the end, I suppose Mando is going to make an appearance, which is neat I suppose, but I would've much rather heard the classic "bounty hunters" leitmotif we heard in TESB. Maybe it would be cheesy for them all to come to his aid but at least seeing one or two again would be neat.

Also, with this episode, I think we've now finally seen all that the previews showed. We should now be in the dark for the final three episodes (for anyone that watched all the previews).

The Mod Body Fixer scene reminded me of "Pimp my Ride" rolled up with "Body Fixers"
I half expected Fennec to Bounce off the table lol..

The rabbit?

O my god...the rabbit robot..."Do you know who I am?Boba Fett!!!"-and this stupid thing shuts itself off.
I think this thing can die together with the "Gang".
But STOP....it could be also the new modern version of Jar Jar Binks!

Oh did I said that Boba Fett is talking too much?

He already made a cameo in the clone wars....

I was referring to Jaxxon, not the bunny droid.

But it was cool to see the bunny droid in a live-action version. Wookieepedia says there were some in Maz’s castle in TFA, but I can’t recall seeing any?

 

[jkno]

 

[Halliwax]

Also why is Boba so bad at everything? He can’t see out of his own ship so he starts turning and running into everything? I get it’s been a while since he’s flown but *****.

Proof right here that our leaders still don’t know how Star wars works

This is the first I’ve ever seen of them in live action

That scene was so uncomfortable for me.. so out of place.. the music.. the costumes.. the hair… heh…

Never picked up on this!! Wow!

I just can't believe the mod body fixers looked so incredibly cheap.

If this was a 1970 - 1980 production, I would have accepted it. But the prosthetic arm with the saw looked so incredibly bad.

The OT set new standards in animation at the time and the prequels also had their impact on the business. It's sad how badly some things are done in this series. The prostheses, the bikes, some of the aliens, etc., are all really bad.

Have I mentioned how much I hate Disney?

Im not kidding when I say this reminds me of low budget, after school kid show props.. powe rangers, beatleborgs.. VR troopers.. all those low budget shows

What kept Star Wars “Star Wars” was Lucas’s choice of music

They throw in this futuristic Star Wars punk techno crap.. totally throws me out of the show..

Just speaking for myself, the music, in this context, didn't bother me in the least. The music is supposed to be different and out of place. The mod parlor is, like, youth counterculture. A whole different subset of society. It makes sense that the music would be different, too.

Lucas also experimented with this style of music in The Clone Wars especially in the first season when he was the most directly involved. See "Downfall of a Droid" for example.

Not saying it doesn't feel out of place, and it rubbed many people the wrong way then as well, but it is hard to say what is and isn't Star Wars some times when even the original creator, given sole creative control, experiments and puts in things like this.
