Pretty much what you hear from this episode most of the time. I'm glad Jon Favreau is back at the helm to do Boba Fett like he did The Mandalorian. The use of animatronics is great to see again also.

We can see starting off his body isn't as it once used to be, that he requires trips to the bacta pod/tank to heal. Seeing the Mos Espa Catina band brings back the good o'l days of A New Hope and the Mos Eisley Catina.

The fight scene with the red shield units surrounding them was a bit silly when seeing them get electroshocked a large amount of times while still remaining standing but then we later get to see some parkour actors show their skill during the rooftop chase.

Not much with this episode besides reminiscing about the past on befriending Tusken Raiders during his heal sessions. Guess he knows Tusken sign language by now?

The run time of Disney+ shows is kind of annoying at this point. You wait such a long time for so little content. And this episode had so much exposition in it, only about 15 minutes was the actual story. Really should have been an hour long episode.

It's just establishing his presence as the new respectable daimyo while at the same time showing how he escaped the Sarlaac Pit and survived until now. I think it answered a lot of theories regarding his questionable death so they're just fast tracking that part and quickly showing something about the Tusken Raiders to be used later on in the show.

Yeah that's all fine, but after a year of waiting, you can't make the episode exposition and only give 15 minutes of actual story. The episode should have been an hour long.

Wow, you're right. I thought the show was an hour long pilot but it only clocked in at 34 minutes, not taking into account the exposition. Pretty sure the Mandalorian was at least 45 minutes long. Then I googled it and seasons became shorter as well at 27-35mins. So they're treating this like half-hour episodes from usual TV shows instead of GoT length-type episodes. A pity. I'm sure we'll get more story going in the next ep.

Episode 2 is 50m, just Tuskens.

The red shield thing was so stupid and contrived it was like something from the last trilogy.

The parkour was lame. The fight was far too choreographed, or at least looked far too choreographed.

Bring back the brawling and blasting from The Mandalorian.
