That depends on whether Boba is dense enough to spend years on Tatooine and even scout out the palace without ever finding out who currently lives there.

So it's entirely possible he's talking about Jabba.

I mean I assume Bib was the one actually doing all the hiring and finance for Jabba, so if the guy who employed me to do all this poo poo left me for dead in the desert and instead went back to the palace to eat the entire kitchen stock I’d be fairly pissed too.

Boba’s whole thing post-sarlaac has been loyalty to those around you. Bib ain’t loyal and that’s why he’s dead.

Boba takes he fact that Bib did not personally abseil down the Sarlaac to rescue him very personally, Jabba would have.

if you're slowly digested over the course of a thousand years it is pretty hosed up to not mount any sort of rescue effort when you have lasers and space ships and poo poo. by now in tatooines history they should have the sarlaccian equivalent of the jaws of life to extract anyone important who happens to fall in there.

I thought that line was sort of weird too. Perhaps it was written so the audience could see it as Jabba or Bib, avoiding explanation of any unnecessary backstory.

If anything shouldn't Bob hold a grudge against Han Solo / Luke etc? It's been awhile since I watched Return of the Jedi, but didn't Han kick him in the jetpack causing it to malfunction and throw him in the sarlaac?

Videos a quick YouTube away, but Chewie warns Han that Boba is behind him. Boba is lining up a shot on Luke and Han spins around blindly and whacks the spear he's defending himself with into Feets jetpack causing it to rocket him off the skiff into the sail barge and into the Sarlaac.

It was cool to see some prequel droid models make a return.

The knife droid first appeared in Attack of the Clones, aboard the transport Anakin and Padme took while disguised as refugees. The voice also kind of sounds like a heavily filtered Jon Favreau (who directed the movie Chef, and I think is somehow involved with Star Wars, but not sure about that one).




The ratcatcher droid appeared throughout The Clone Wars, so this is it's first time in live action:




Another EV-9D9 type droid also makes an appearance in the kitchen. This one's voice sounds a lot closer to the one in ROTJ than the one Mark Hamill voiced in S1 of The Mandalorian, so I'm guessing this guy is actually supposed to be the one from the movie, while the one in Mos Eisley is just a similar model.

I can buy Boba forgetting that the Jawas jacked his armour. He was awake for like five seconds and pretty hosed up while they were stripping him before they knocked him out. Then he was captured by the Tuskens and still pretty hosed up for a while there too.

Seems easy to forget five seconds of being conscious. Could have maybe done with a scene of him actually finding out where it is though.

Fennec also told him offhand that the biker gang definitely didn't slaughter the Tusken camp but he's just gonna murderize the entire biker gang anyway.

Boba is a living Dunning-Kruger effect and he is hilarious to watch.

Well, maybe. On the other hand, assuming somebody framed the biker gang to shift the blame to them, that somebody can relax now, right? Since Boba has now slaughtered them, that means that the somebody's plan worked. So they can relax. Unless, of course, Boba slaughtered the gang to make the somebody think that he was fooled.

Because gently caress the bikers. They're a pack of vicious, violent assholes and it's not like anybody on Tattooine has spare water to cry over them.

Good episode. But it's still frustrating. Actively dramatizing how Fennec and Boba see each other, what Boba's reasoning for wanting to be a mob boss is, exactly how the systems of power work in Jabba's old organisation and what the drat stakes are for Tatooine is awesome.

But that dramatization would have been better explored at the start of this series. Then I might have been more engaged with all the shenanigans, instead of just seeing Boba and Fennec doing stuff and wondering why they felt the need to do it. Why structure it this way? Did they think declining to show insight into what Boba's and Fennec's interiority is would create a sense of mystery. Because it just made the early episodes way duller than they needed to be. I know the whole system of most serialized narratives is to keep people guessing and talking BUT something like the Mandalorian is wise enough to keep it's mystery to "Who is the secret other Jedi?", "Why do the bad guys want Grogu", and not "Why is Mando doing whatever he's doing" because when you have no idea what your protagonists inner desire is for three hours of television, it begins to get boring pretty quick.

But I did enjoy this episode, there was a lot of cool stuff. I liked the return trip to the Sarlaac. Especially how Fennec looked genuinely scared. It's interesting when you see a character who is normally brave and cool suddenly get to a space where they're like "Oh this sucks", Like Indiana Jones and snakes.

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
That episode was great. Did a lot to tie together the show and would have been good if we'd understood their motivations more from the start. It's still very inconsistent and they could have done better with showing or inferring the passage of time of just how long Boba was with the Tuskens. Excited for Mando showing up.
