Honestly I don't think I had any trouble parsing out the relationship from context in the final showdown. Where I think they messed up was that I didn't realize there was a relationship when they faced off the first time earlier in the episode..
Nah, he's a Duros.yeah, I didn’t watch Clone Wars or Mandolorian but could easily pick that he was the black hat quick draw villain who had some history with both Boba and Jango. However was he a Pyke? He did look like one...
I went back and re-watched the Rodriguez directed episode from The Mandalorian S2 as I remember really enjoying it, and I was in the mood for more Boba Fett action. I'd forgotten it was in that episode that Mando's ship is destroyed, kinda fitting that he gets a new ship during his appearance in Book of Fett.
Regarding that episode and the slower-seeming combat pace in BoBF, in the Mando episode, Rodriguez filmed at normal speed and then sped the film up a bit to get that faster combat look. I am wondering why he did not do that as well with the BoBf fights.
I agree but I liked them better before I realized they were literally named the "mods". Then the direct borrowings from mod subculture like the mirrors on their vehicles seemed a little a little too on the nose and puny to me.Even the Mod squad didn't bother me, they reminded me of the out of place sub-cultures that exist in country towns much like the one I grew up in. I thought they made the world feel more real.
if he’s going to go back home to get something useful…. maybe bring his heavily armed spaceship next time not a rancor? (And maybe go grab that X-wing too?)
