A plot point in Daredevil was that he wears specially-made clothing that’s lined with a kind of super-Kevlar armour layer, so he can take physical hits that would incapacitate a normal person. And as per the comics, he’s in very good shape, his size is largely muscle and not fat. It gives him more or less unquantified…

So, we have two data points about Boba Fett from the original trilogy:

1) He’s the kind of guy who disintegrates people, and apparently did so at least once.
2) He doesn’t know proper jetpack safety. (Why didn’t you have the jetpack safety switch engaged on Jabba’s skiff, Boba? Why didn’t you hit an emergency cut-off…

Haven’t you ever seen Futurama?

yeah but the Thundercat cameo was my main interest in that scene

i was trying to figure out why i dont really feel invested in this series/character, especially after being obsessed with boba fett since receiving him in the mail way back when. at first i thought it was because Mandolarian pretty much scratched that itch. While i wasnt blown away by Grogu, at least there was an…

Maybe they’ll be in a band playing The Who songs next week...

Such a good point.  I get he may have been delirious about the Jawa theft, but how did he think everything actually went down?  That his armor just stuck to the gooey insides of the sarlaac and he had to wriggle out of it??

It’s possible to do a show that isn’t crappy fan service but is simultaneously good on its own terms.  This show ain’t that. 

“That has to be the most superfluous statement an assassin-for-hire has ever made.”

BTW, why did Boba think his armor was in the Sarlacc? Does he not remember busting out of it and the Jawas taking it? I could see him not remembering the Jawas since he was only semi-conscious but does he think the Sarlacc just burped him up naked and that’s how he got out?

What’s funny is Robot Chicken made a passing joke almost 15 years ago and now has become a real issue.

Bold of you to assume AV Club writers are being paid, what with the recent news. 

Yeah, but they let us know that the cyberpunk kids on the Quadrophenia-esque scooters into body modification are colloquially known as “Mods”. *sigh*

Honestly, why did they bother with this show? There’s no point. No one seems to give a shit. No one I know likes it. RIP. 

> It now seems clear that the whole point of Fett’s time with the Sand People (a few years, apparently!) was solely to function as his character development. He was a lone wolf, cold-blooded killer until these humble desert nomads taught him the meaning of family. It’s a true testament to how insufficient the show has…

A lot of stuff in this episode should have been in the first episode. Simple things like “what does the main character want, and why should I care? Other than because I owned his action figure as a child.”

Generally I hate when modern Star Wars tries to be like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with constant cameos and…

I still think Jennifer Beals’ Garsa Fwip has more of a role to play.  I think she's more skilled than the show is showing and could be behind things

No cringey cyperpunk biker gang this week -> Immediate improvement.

When Boba Fett made his underlings move to Mos Espa did he give them cost of living raises? 

i think if i recommend this show to people i’m gonna tell them to start with this one and if they need anything more explained watch the first 3. really felt like a first episode.
