As nice as this episode was it should have been left out as it had nothing to do with Fett. Now when people give their opinion of what order to watch the Star Wars stuff in they will have to say things like, "You can skip Book of Boba Fett if you want but make sure you watch episode 5 before watching Mandalorian Season 3."

{Spoiler}{Spoiler} Excellent episode……but this season is only 7 episodes long, and I can’t help but feel of this most of this story could’ve save for Mando 3. Gives some crumbs to make things fit into Bobs Fett’s story but save the deep dive for The Mandalorian S03. I doubt it affected the season length. Without this, they likely would have only done 6 episodes.

Calling the show "The Book of Boba Fett" has to be a rib from Dave Filoni, right?

Watching ep 6 like {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}UM HOLY SHIT WHERE DO I START?!?!?
My speculation right now is that the outline of this season at some point in the writing was the outline of Mandalorian Season 3, then got changed to be called Boba Fett like maybe in case people got mad about no Din for 4 episodes or something like that.

Holy shit, Episode 6. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Just scene after scene of OMG! Look at that!! Finally seeing Ahsoka and Luke together, and the mention of Anakin, was amazing.
I loved how they rendered Cad Bane in live-action. A showdown bwteen him and Boba should be fun.
I'm not sure Luke is a good teacher though. Choose Mando, Grogu!!! But really, the Jedi and their attachments BS is honorable, but unworkable. I could rant for hours about how misguided it is and how it led to Anakin's downfall and I hate that Luke is still trying to adhere to it.

I like the show but can't help but think, "Tell me, tell me, tell me who, who wrote the Book of Fett?" every time I see the title.

This is really starting to feel like The Book of Boba Fett was never intended to stand on it’s own. This is basically The Book of Boba Fett: A Mandalorian Story

This is really starting to feel like The Book of Boba Fett was never intended to stand on it’s own. This is basically The Book of Boba Fett: A Mandalorian Story At this point it's kinda obvious the Favreau and Filoni-led shows are all basically telling a single overarching story, so I don't expect any of them to truly stand on their own. Arguably only the first season of Mando stands by itself because the second season is so dependent on the viewer being familiar with stuff from Clone Wars and Rebels, as well as it setting up this, Ahsoka and the Rangers of the New Republic, culminating in – I'm guessing – Thrawn's Imperial remnant vs. a united Mandalore, Fett's family, and the Jedi academy.

And it's also been hinting at the building of the First Order. So I'd imagine we're gonna get that at some point. {Spoiler}Motherf***ing Cad Bane!
Cobb Vanth and his town are gonna show up at the Palace to join Boba.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to hang out with my sister and my dear friends."
I mean, we already know Luke isn't a particularly good teacher with how badly he drops the ball with Ben and doesn't exactly do the best job with Rey either. {Spoiler}Motherf***ing Cad Bane!
Cobb Vanth and his town are gonna show up at the Palace to join Boba. {Spoiler}I'm guessing Vanth is injured but alive, since the townsfolk were beginning medical treatment as Bane was walking away, so at the very least the town will join Fett.
Bane made sure the deputy won't be going anywhere though. He made damn sure he was dead.

The Pamphlet of Boba Fett. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Another entertaining episode of The Mandalorian. The cameo from Boba Fett makes me feel there's a story to tell there, though.
The CG work on Luke has improved massively - he's only about 10% weird now, and I genuinely mean that as a compliment! - and Grogu's Jedi training and challenges were done well. A nice surprise to see Ashoka again. Knew it was Cad Bane as soon as we saw the silhouette, you know Filoni and co are only let one person have that distinctive hat.
Don't think that's the end for Beals in the show, hope not. That bomb was pretty obvious as soon as the Pykes up and left.
Season finale next week, right? Time to deliver something big.

If not for the fact that I know Mark Hamill is 70 years old I doubt I'd have realised that was a CGI face.

That made me go and google it up, and yeah, how interesting. Credit to both the guy and Lucasfilm realising how much better his version is.

Aside from that, weird episode. What the hell was wrong with Lukes Dialog? it sounded like Mark Hamill spent half a day in the recording booth recovering from a hangover.

The end felt like the set up to a star wars version of Shogun Assassin.

As impressive a feat as it is getting Luke on screen, part of me wonders if maybe they'd not be better off just recasting.
