The Ringer: ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ Premiere Breakdown: Back to Tatooine

Entertaining enough. Kind of wish they released the first two episodes to start.

Yeah, it was pretty meh for me

Hopefully it picks up, didn’t enjoy it much. Not sold yet on the casting either.

I liked the flashback that played like a silent film. The present day stuff wasn’t much of anything and the action was oddly bad.

The extended, uncut version of that scene is utterly amazing.

The Ringer: ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ Chapter 2 Recap

Not much to add, but I liked episode 2 more than the 1st.

I feel like I don't want to watch this but I have to watch this. That's how you know capitalism has won.

Episode 3 had Danny Trejo and a baby Rancor!

And an Easter egg of the woman and her droids from Mos Eisley who has helped Din Djarin in Mando.

Yeah that was a fun episode. I liked the Mods from Quadrophenia tooling around on their Vespas in Mos Espa.

For what it's worth, I didn't love the third episode. The first and third still pale in comparison to the second for me. Not in love with the techie biker gang and their speeders' colors really were off-putting compared to the normal hue of Tattooine. I thought that the actual speed chase was really poorly done and almost comically slow.

Well said, there were some cool things in the 3rd episode but wasn't as good as episode 2.

 

I'm okay with the gang, but agree about their bikes being out of place.  The bike chase scene looks even worse following on the heels of the train chase.   I also agree about it being comically slow, was that the point of it?

Yeah the Scooty-Puff Juniors were a terrible design choice.

When you realize Robert Rodriguez (who directed all of the Spy Kids movies) directed episodes 1 and 3, it starts making a whole lot more sense. There are so many similarities.

Oh dear, the rancor stuff is the plot to the one with Steve Buscemi.

Very strong 4th episode, and if I'm not mistaken a tease for another character that may be showing up.

Star Wars has a strong history of using motif.

 

Spoiler

Mando has gotta be showing up.
