I can see it. The gang seemed cartoonish like Biff's gang. Also, the chase ended with something falling on a crashed car like in BTTF.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that hated the chase scene. Considering how good the show has been, that was a stark contrast. The vehicles looked like they were slower than the parkour assassins from the first episode.
One other gripe was how the hell did a giant wookie sneak into his lair without the biker gang, both pig guys, and Fennec noticing. Also, it seemed like it would be pretty easy to kill Boba by shooting him in the face while he was sleeping. I guess there's a chance that the wookie was trying to get caught as a plan, and the Rancor is a Trojan horse. Maybe Trejo is keeping it sedated.

REALLY fricking hate the punk rock/cyberpunk British bike gang. That shite feels like a Kathleen Kennedy forced idea. And that has to be the slowest “high speed” chase I’ve ever seen.
Also, it’s ok if Boba has a soft side but Jesus he was acting like a girl with a little puppy when he got the rancor

Too bad they stole his water this time, and not his stapler.

Or he could be the type of bounty hunter that takes great pleasure in seeing his quarry suffer as he's beating them to death.

But it seems to me that a bounty hunter is a businessman first and foremost, and Boba is a dangerous target. Seems impossible to get him out alive with all the others around, so we're talking 'dead' price.
I can see farting around with an Imperial scientist taunting him, but I'd just as soon finish Boba Fett off quick, and collect the payday.
Apparently the second option is to say "frick off, old man" and wait for the job offer

Fett’s new crew was pathetic, no back story, no skills and no real motivation behind their sudden loyalty. The way Milton was talking, I was expecting Cylon centurions with human heads and instead got millennials on scooters with steampunk prosthetics. The Wookiee fight made Fett look old and fat. They’re ruining what made the character cool in the first place.

The one flashback is a sobering one.
Did anyone see the Tuscan kid? Saw his stick but I'm betting he will be back.(I hope)
Danny Trejo is perfect casting for Rancor trainer.
Speeder chase was cringe although probably just a nod to cinema.
Stephen Root is GOAT

Good episode.
I am loving all of the easter eggs. The spider creature thing that was the door keeper at Jabba's palace in ROTJ walking across the desert. The critter grabbing dinner with it's tongue and then burping (even though that was added in the special edition crap and not original).

See I’m not alone in thinking a bunch of punk rock kids on brightly colored speeder bikes don’t fit in well with Star Wars. CGI looked pretty bad in a couple of spots during the chase scene. At least the episode setup who our villains appear to be

Those bikes and cgi were awful. Boba Fett has been boring so far. Those cyborg kids are just annoying. All he does is walk around, literally.

He's killed a sand monster, stopped a train, and fought a wookie while out on his walks.

After shooting Bib Fortuna to take over, Boba has:
a) walked around a lot, doing little
b) got his arse handed to him by a pack of space ninjas
c) come to threaten the mayor several times, only to get shrugged off
d) allow one of his 'vassals' to get robbed, then hired the punks who robbed his guy
e) takes his helmet off all the damn time
He's supposed to be running a crime family, doesn't have resources, isn't projecting any power, isn't providing the "protection" that goes along with a protection racket.
The show is interesting, but isn't the badass Boba Fett we all wanted.
And I'm sorry if this sounds sexist, but if we're going to see someone soaking wet in underwear fighting, I'm not wanting it to be a fat middle-aged dude.

Everyone has already commented on the stupid biker gang and the "chase". One thing I saw that was cool was during the chase one of them went through a painting of jabba on his throne and several of his crew. I'd like to have that painting on my wall it looked awesome. I thought Krrsantan would join his crew. Gonna be awesome to see Boba riding a rancor.

It was one of Ralph McQuarrie's original art designs for Jabba's lair. Speaking of that someone mentioned the spider. They are mechanical spiders which the B'ommar monks built to transfer their brains into. Their brain is in the red globe. Jabba's lair used to be a B'ommar monastery. The spider droids were also a brainchild of McQuarrie.

Look I want this to be good. It is not bad, just boring. Fett is not a very compelling character right now. He is not Tony Saprano enough to be the boss of a family with no family. Literally it is simply him and the lady from Agents of Shield.

Thanks to that info I think this is it.

I also loved that in the fight in the palace they ended up (for a couple of seconds) in the area where Jabba kept Han's carbonite casing hanging on the wall.
When did spice become a drug that the gangs/cartels were smuggling? In the OG movie, when talking with Obi-Wan, Luke says "My father didn't fight in the Clone Wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter."
Also, when Boba goes to talk to the gang leader about paying protection to the Tuskens, there are stormtrooper helmets on pikes that he walks past. I'm assuming that by that point in the flashbacks we are past the Battle of Endor and the Empire has fallen.

That is the exact painting but Luke is removed from the one on the show
