re: The Book of Boba Fett (Chapter 7 FINALE SPOILERS pg.41)

Great episode. 48 mins.
First 33 mins is all flashback, but most certainly the last as his healing is now complete. Reveals how he found Shand, got her modified, settles old debts with the biker gang and the Sarlacc (via seismic charge), ninja's his way into Jabba's (very large/extensive palace) to get his Slave 1/"Firespray" Gunship back.
Current timeline shows how he recruits arm-ripping wookie Krrsantan (or "Santo"), threatens the other bosses into neutrality with the rancor, and then discusses adding new muscle for the upcoming Pyke war while Mando's music plays (Wow! moment).
Episodes 2 & 4 are by far my favorites so far.

I enjoyed this episode
You have to think they are rounding up help in episode 5 and then episode 6 is where shite hits the fan
Episode 7 is where they close off the episode 6 cliffhanger and we find out where this story truly is going

His known army, right now, is Shand, Black Santo, Mod squad, Gammorean guards, and the Rancor.
Almost certainly, Mando will join, as well as the Tusken Warriorette.
I'm hoping he reels in one or more (Crimson Dawn?) bounty hunters like IG-88, Bossk, or even Cad Bane. This Pyke showdown could be epic.

Cad Bane.
Would be epic in live action. Who would they get to play him. Would get more flak than the Power Ranger stuff if they screwed this character up.

Voice actor Corey Burton brought him to life in the Clone Wars & Bad Batch cartoons.
I would assume they'd use him again since the live-action version might likely be CGI or facially puppeteered (if practical effects are used).

I thought of the special effects at the start of the episode were a bit iffy. As I have said before, Robert Rodriguez, and projects he oversees, tend to be a spotty on SFX.
That having been said you could watch Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen read the phone book out loud and they would be interesting. Beals continues to be great in a minor supporting role as the bar/casino owner. Good Lord. Between the three of them they have more than 125 years of acting experience.
The plot is barreling right along and it seems likely we will get some big guest stars coming up. If only for the sheer why the hell not nature of it? This is likely to be a one and done series (which is fine, some stories don't need ten seasons to play out) so swing for the fences.

I liked this episode a lot and got pumped when I heard Mando's music. It felt like a WWE moment.
I thought the Sarlacc scene was completely unnecessary, unless I'm forgetting something. The viewer already knows the Jawaas took his armor. We already know how he got it back. So, them going after it in the Sarlacc pit was pointless. Then, dragging it on with the scene of him spurlunking just added to it. I kept waiting for them to discover something else important hidden down there, but then they just transitioned to the next scene.

BF didnt know the jawas took it so naturally he would go after it in the sarlacc pit. you think it makes more sense to have BF assume he took a fat L with his armor and just not bother even trying find it?
also it was an example of how fennec is super useful to have with him and helped him get out of another pickle. another opportunity to show the seismic charges that folks geek over.

Liked this episode.
Enjoyed the mirroring of the Millenium Falcon escape scene from A New Hope.
Did we know Tatooine had three moons?
Has a droid ever had their throat slit before?
I loved the melding of TBOBF and the Mandalorian with Fennec. We saw the flares Mando used to blind her then Boba found here. It verifies the Storm Trooper's on pikes were the same ones in Mando and that Peli Motto was on the way to or from the pit with her droids.
We now know why Boba was keen to side with the Mod gang over the water merchant.
Fett explains why he is "softer" but not softer.
I thought it was interesting Fett thought his armor was still in the Sarlac pit, I guess he doesn't remember getting out with it on and the Jawas taking it. I can see forgetting the Jawas as he was out of it but not remembering he escaped with it on using the flamethrower seemed odd.
I kept expecting Shand to kill someone in the Godfather scene with the three families... disappointed.
Are we gonna get some Crimson Dawn? Qi'ra? When does Han pop in?
Are we to assume Mando gets hired/brought in by Fett?
As before I think how much you like this is based on how much you like the Easter eggs and weaving so many storylines together from canon and the EU.

I'm saying it was pointless to show the viewer. Boba busted out of the Sarlacc with his armor on. They could have just had a line of dialogue with Boba saying he assumes they were taken off of him before the Tuskens got to him because there is no way he could survive in the Sarlacc pit without his armor.
As for showing Fennec's usefulness, that makes sense. There could have been something during the attack on the biker gang that showed that.
I thought the scene was cool with them trying to break lose from the Sarlacc, but I found it distracting knowing they were going down there with 0% chance of being successful.

im saying that not showing something about it would essentially be telling the viewer BF just took the fat L and didnt even care to search for his armor. plus it gets to lay into the nostalgia of another encounter with the sarlacc. it also lets us know the sarlacc is dead and fortuna does not have that as a weapon or power projection much like no rancor.

yea but then people would just bitch about lame exposition to sidestep what could have been seeing the sarlacc, seismic charge, and fennec as a great co-pilot as well as gun/fist combat.

then why are you saying its pointless to the viewer? it was neat. the point wasnt that he may have had success, it was to show how great of a partner fennec is to have and how they just met and she is all types of useful from the jump. im pretty sure something about that scene will end up helping him figure out that the armor must have survived the sarlacc and he needs to search elsewhere.

It would seem really odd for them to play the Mando music then not have him appear.

That makes sense. I'll get off the soap box.

I'll disagree here, though. Throughout the show, I've never thought "Boba must think his armor is in the Sarlacc because he was so out of it when he emerged". I thought, he might have no idea where it is, but it was taken off of him before the Tuskens found him. He has burn marks all over his body that he is using the water tank to repair. He knows he used his torch to get out. Why would he think his armor wasn't on him when he got out?
Posted on 1/19/22 at 4:13 pm to DestrehanTiger
The burn marks on him might make him think at least portions of his armor were lost in the sarlacc, bc he was burned.
But it was probably mostly a blur for him before he got knocked out by Jawas. Head trauma usually isn't super conducive to memory formation especially when he was already in a poor condition.
Tbf I wouldn't think these things if they didn't show the sarlacc parts. But I would be thinking he just assumed he took a fat L on his armor since he hasn't pursued the Jawas. Due to this part being shown it seems he probably doesn't remember much about it

Also being that close to the sonic bomb should have destroyed them.

I wonder if Fennec and Boba have talked about Luke. Luke Skywalker has to be the boogie man in certain circles.
Destroys death star 1. Kills Jabba the Hutt, destroys his empire (only Max knows it was Leia), like the emperor and his number 2 Darth Vader (again you can imagine the survivors of DS2 dying him leave with Darth's body)
Is there when second death star blows up.
Then destroys every dark trooper and helps apprehend moff Gideon.
But he's also the reason Boba went into the pit.
What would happen if Luke and Boba crossed paths?
Though I doubt that happens.
Though I would be shocked but to see The Mandalorian next week.

Liked this episode better than last week's but I didn't like the sarlac pit scene. Seemed like a waste of time and that he had to know he had his armor on to get out. Ready to see Mando show up and help out BF and Fennec.

I thought she (?) was dead? Wasn’t that the reason behind the whole scene where he threw the whack-whack-stick into the fire after the bikers raided the Tuscan camp?
I haven’t read the whole thread so maybe that’s already been addressed.

Neither her body nor the young Tusken was shown so the guess is they escaped.
