If you haven’t figured out by now that we’re all positioned at the wrong end of the Media Centipede, I don’t know what to tell you.

You could argue that at the time of the filming and initial planned release, Armie Hammer was also a star whose career was heating up and could draw an audience even more so than Depp. And then, things happened that I’ll decline to feast on.

Now playing

At least we got the fantastic (semi) duet with Maggie Smith. Bitchiness has never looked so good.

I’m gonna miss you most of all, Dowd.

All the way back to the second episode and the resigned, half-hearted way he tried to mount a one-man assault on the Jawa’s crawler, I’ve loved that Din is a man who is just constantly feeling the weight of all the galaxy’s bullshit making his life complicated.

I could not stop laughing at Pedro’s delivery of, “Is that a bench? How long will I be waiting?”  He is doing so much to make Djarin a viable character despite the helmet.

i don’t hate this show, but the issue i have is reconciling the legend of boba fett we grew up with—the badass bounty hunter that was cool AF, clever and willing to incinerate folks for money—with the older version seeking retirement as a noble crime boss. i keep waiting for him to turn and go full ham on adversaries.

Take your fucking star

There was so much fan service going on here that I was half-expecting Cad Bane to be played by Walton Goggins, and he’d reveal Cobb’s past as part of the spice mining operation on Kessel. “Cobb, we dug spice together.”

It’s telling that Timothy Olyphant is the one bringing the most energy here. When Olyphant’s on better shows, he’s the more taciturn one, and paired with someone who with a bigger personality (Walton Goggins in Justified, Ian McShane in Deadwood). Here, Olyphant is playing basically the same role he’s played before,

Okay, two things:

1) Was the deputy played by James Roday?

2) If so, did anyone spot a pineapple?

Okay, that’s a lie. Three things:
3) If the Pykes are muscling in on Mos Espa, I wouldn’t trust that the Pykes haven’t bribed some of the local toughs ahead of time

I have a feeling that Cad Bane killed Boba’s Tusken Tribe, not the Speeder gang! How did Bane know that Cobb had Fett’s Armor? He has apparently been on Tatooine for a while.

But it’s the one show where it would have been okay to have characters in masks!! 

It is weird for a show to be this slow and still absolutely batshit insane. Also it was stunning to realize that next week is the last episode after they did four episodes of Boba learning the basics of being a crime boss, kind of, before not having him speak two episodes and only appear in one scene. This is a parody

I believe it’s Vanth. I thought the the cgi was really impressive, and it sort of broke my brain a lot of the time.

If this was the plan with BoBF, then what they should have done is just fold this and the Mandalorian into a single show, titled “Star Wars: Bounty Hunters”(or something similar). for Season 3: The Book of Boba Fett. It makes more sense as now, in order to watch Season 3 of The Mandalorian, you also now have to watch

Is it Vance or Vanth?

Nick, just FYI....the “behind the scenes” special about the making of Luke’s last appearance describes how they didn’t use any actual Mark Hamill dialogue at all. They literally cobbled together Luke’s dialogue using computer-created copies of his voice sampled from previous recordings. Which is arguably why his voice

Hey, go crazy. You’d have to listen to the LP thirty times before we made $1.
