Fett's motivation doesn't feel coherent or real, and while I love me some Danny Trejo, both the Rancor and "Recruit Teens with Attitude!" portions were excessively cringey. I did enjoy seeing the tuskens fleshed out more, but really wish that had gone somewhere more productive. Like, bare minimum, have the kid survive and be part of the main cast.It feels like the show is too busy setting up groundwork for other projects than actually trying to be good in and of itself. Boba Fett feels like a very flat and boring character who's given a "white man learns the culture of the savages" storyline with the tuskens. And we've been given zero reasons to actually care about his struggle. Like, written down, the plot sounds fun. A bounty hunter escapes certain death, has what can only be described as a spiritual awakening via exposure to another people's culture, and decides to become an upstart crime lord for reasons(?) while an out-of-town major syndicate trying to take over the same turf. But nobody seems to have any actual beliefs in anything, so there's no ideological clash beyond "I want to be the one getting rich by oppressing these people." But Fett apparently has no problem with credits, so it's literally just a power trip for him? It's all WHAT and no WHY.And Luke in the most recent episode... nostalgia bait with the training sequence aside, way to accurately recreate all of the worst aspects of the Jedi. Force Grogu to re-experience the most tramatic memories in his life where his friends and family (and likely abductors) were gunned down by laser fire, then subject him to training by having a droid shoot laser fire at him without warning. Then tell him he's not allowed to have attachments in life despite having more than a few yourself. I swear, the more I look back at Star Wars canon the more I feel like the Sith were the lesser evil.</blockquote>
