The Book of Boba Fett

You mean manipulate Anakin to join the dark side to save Padme from death, but he killed her anyway. Oh well.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I mean, it's not likely that he completely planned that all out. Plus Padme death would drive Anakin down the dark path anyway.

Luke watch out for that vicious bounty hunter Boba Fett! Did I ever tell you l fought his dad? He was hired to assassinate a senator me and your father were guarding. We kept bringing her around open windows and public areas in order to draw the would-be assassin out because we knew he had too much pride to just shoot her from long range. He had used his payment to hire another bounty hunter to kill the senator for him while he sent us on a wild bantha chase. Also the 2nd assassin used her payment to buy a robot to assassinate the senator for her. Did I mention the 2nd assassin was a shapeshifter? She could have been a good friend in disguise and just shot the senator for all we knew! Then the robot used its payment to buy poisonous bugs to release into the senators room while she slept after lasering a hole through the window. It could have just lasered her too after that because we we weren't watching her at all but it already bought the bugs. So we sense the hostile life forms not the robot in the room and rush in and save the senator in the nick of time!

Then I jumped out the window to chase the robot back to its owner! Luckily it didn't have a self destruct function. Then we found the 2nd assassin and chased her across the planet and caught her when she tried to kill us instead of shapeshifting and escaping. But to our surprise Jango Fett was watching the whole thing instead of going to kill the senator while we were away chasing the bugs chasing the robot chasing the shapeshifter. He shot her with a poisonous dart instead of sniper blaster and only her instead of shooting all of us or blowing all of us with a rocket or something then he escaped with his tiny jetpack.

Luckily for the senator my good friend Dexterr Jettster owned a 50s dinner on Courscant that had Republic secrets on the menu along with cheeseburgers and malt shakes. We found the assassin and Mace Window killed him later right in front of Boba. And he was a good friend.

He also tried shooting my ship, firing a million shots per second, but didn't hit it once, just everything around it.

I was using force shield which you get when you reach level 7 jedi.

I laughed

So yeah,

Spoiler:
this ep was basically a Mando one-shot, which also made it the best episode of the season so far, imo.

I really appreciated them showcasing the fact that even immensely seasoned warriors who have trained their entire lives with most types of weaponry, cannot just pick up a lightsaber and immediately be adept with it.

I'm also curious what Mando had the Armorer forge for Grogu out of the Beskar spear..?

Why did Chewbacca live with ewoks? Was it because Yoda died?

He preferred interspecies Ewok sex.

Hmm. I haven't seen the sequels, but I don't think anyone mentions ewoks. Man, that must sting.

My guess? A beskar sphere that Grogu can launch Magneto-like at enemies. No, but really, the little links we briefly saw made me think of some kind of shirt like Frodo's mythril vest.

Also, what was that ****ing ring/halo thing? I feel like I've seen it before, but I worry I'm confusing it with something else.

Looks like he made a necklace.

It reminded me of the halo from the movie Elysium.

At the end Mando says he's going to see a little friend before he helps Boba. Does that mean the next episode is going to be another Mando episode?

It's kind of jarring how much better episode 5 was than everything that came before.

God damn this was a good episode. Easily the best in the series imo. 👆

Was nice to see someone other than that bum Robert Rodriguez direct. God bless Jurassic Park mommy.

Already been noted above, ep5 was great, far better than the others and it didn't have Boba Fett's arch in it at all really.

Seriously, what the f**k is going on with the Boba story/writing. They have the ability to deliver.

I loved the Terminator 2-esque destruction of Mandalore. Looked awesome.

So much in terms of world-building and nostalgia in this episode, and yet done in a way that actually felt like it worked rather than being too cheap.
