The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

[pukunui]

Is the sword sentient? almost sounded like it was based on how heavy/light it would become

I don’t think it’s any more sentient than the Force normally is. (Being a lightsaber crafted by a Jedi, it will be connected to the Force and will be difficult for someone who isn’t a Jedi to wield properly.)

Bryce did good work on this, she's not one I would expect behind the camera.

She is killing it!

In case you weren’t aware, she also directed two episodes of the Mandalorian: the one in S1 where Mando takes refuge on that agrarian planet and meets Cara Dune, and the one in S2 where he meets Bo-Katan.

This was neat - but is anyone else bothered by how clearly this showed how much better a show The Mandalorian is/was...?

Had that thought. Boba got shown up in his own show.

Near the end we were thinking "is boba cameoing in his own show?

Laughed at the Mythosaurvis onlt in legends.

Overall great episode of "The Mandalorian: Halo& Terminator edition".

I am picturing a co-pilot seat for Grogu in the former droid socket, but yeah, Mando needs more room for his bounties.

I suppose it could stretch to maybe an underslung cargo unit big enough for a single carbonite pallet. Of course, he'd have to change his line to "I can bring you in cold, or I can bring your head in cold."

Yeah, I have to say that the “ring world” thing was a bit too Star Trek for my tastes (haven’t ever played Halo), but otherwise this was an awesome episode of the Mandalorian … I mean, Boba Fett.

I am completely satisfied with the way it tied everything together re: the darksaber and Bo-Katan and the destruction of Mandalore, etc.

Now we know why the weird 7-episode length to the show. And it makes a good bridge to the eventual season 3 of Mandalorian.

It had elements of Halo, but it mostly reminded me of Crescentia spaceport from Treasure Planet.


And no, the substituted soundtrack wasn't a deliberate choice, however appropriate - this was just the only clip of it I could find on Youtube.

It was good but it should have been in The Mandalorian IMHO. Djin making an appearance is fine though.

I got Terminator vibes on the purge of Mandalore cut scene. Those droids knocking the Mando helmet for example.

So Dances With Banthas and the Mandalorian featuring Fennec best episodes of the season so far IMHO.

I agree with everyone else. This was the best episode so far, and it didn't even have Boba in it. I'm way more attached to how Mando ends up dealing with his being raised in a cult, how/if/when he gets to interact with Grogu again, and the future of Mandalore than I am with . . . if Boba Fett gets to set up a "respectful" crime syndicate in Jabba's place.
