Pretty sure the book of boba fett is an all encompassing title and viewers cannot handle it. These are the stories how the war with pike were won in this specific area of the universe. That’s that....

Surprised to see all the negative comments about JFO, but I personally loved it and am pumped for the sequel (and also excited to see what else Respawn does with Star Wars). I’m also still really really happy that Respawn is killing it between their SW projects and Apex, because they’re a really talented team.

I know, I had just such a wildly different take on this game than everyone else in this one thread I feel like I kist have played a different game.  I loved this game.

There’s no other excuse for this level of shitty!

I’d argue the opposite: The Mandalorian took everything that was cool about Boba Fett and did it first, so this show ends up feeling superfluous and plodding by comparison. Din Djarin feels more like what folks expected from Boba Fett and, for the most part, we got it. Boba Fett feels more like an original character…

Boba and Fennec using Slave 1 to search the Sarlacc was even more stupid after we just saw Fennec using a space-drone earlier in the same episode to map out Jabba’s palace. Why not use it again? Bad writing...

“Bantha’s , Black Melons , and er... Battledroid Gambling”

No, it’s not. Yes, there is a lot of bland, functional or just plain awkward dialogue. There is also a ton of dialogue that isn’t. The first two movies in particular are full of verbal wit and cracking dialogue. There’s a reason it’s been so quotable for over forty years now.

No, the failure is in the writing. We don’t need “all the answers right now”, but we sure as fuck need a reason to care. Watch any good serialized show. They exist. This isn’t one of them. Good shows manage to craft compelling characters, meaningful relationships and engaging conflicts even in their first episodes,…

Liking it despite how dumb and ambling it is is where I’m at as well. I think I was arguing with someone in the comments of the first episode about the potential for the show to go somewhere and that it’s ridiculous to critique the direction of the show based only on its first episode, but mea culpa to that other…

Shand:  Yes.  In fact, you may recall that you yourself used to act as hired muscle in exchange for money.

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 would love if the show just committed to the semi-comedic theme that “Boba Fett is a great fighter, but an incredibly incompetent manager and maybe not super bright. Like Michael Scott with a jetpack”

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

This continues to be such a weird show to me as I do like it, yet every episode I’m kind of taken back by the incredible dumb narrative choices it makes.

Good list, good list. I’ll add in: glow sticks, lasers and tech with janky 1980s CRT screens; space magic!; puppets.

I thought the man who invited Jackie was the guy who died in the cabin?

yeah i definitely don’t think it was supposed to be some meta joke ‘slow chase’ thing.

Not sure how to square that one for you but thank you for reading!
