And there was literally no reason for it. He could have easily just said he was expecting blowback for hitting the train and was going to leave the tribe for a bit because he knew the city folk ways and would take over the cities to ensure the protection of the tribes.

Then at the end, when he turns to Fennec and says he's not cut out for that sort of life anymore, he could put her in charge and rejoin the tribe. It would have been a much more cohesive set of motivations.

I would have liked a lot of various outcomes for the tuskens other than what happened. Them joining the fight against the pykes, them loving off to a new area/out of the land they'd been in, him leaving them for their own good and using the sadness he felt over missing them to assemble a new found family. There were so many options that didnt involve using and discarding them for one character's personal growth.

If we are sure (?) that there will be another season, it's natural to expect they'll return as part of the story.

"Spice" has been Star Wars slang for hard drugs for loving decades. What's this CinemaSins bullshit where we're all of a sudden pretending we have no idea what it is and it's a plot hole that the show didn't explain it?

Nah, the movie exists because of the series. The movie was just the first three or so episodes, then Lucas saw them and said "this is amazing, we're going to put it in theatres instead of on TV" and then they had to rework the episodes into a movie.

I think the show might have been a little better if Boba had just privately owned to Fennic that "I really don't know what the gently caress I'm doing with this crime lord poo poo" instead if the show trying to pretend that Boba was a crime lord prodigy who totally had all this down.

I mean, imagine a much shittier version of The Mandalorian where Din Djarin decides, "You know what? I'm sick of bounty hunting and paying my beskar into the company pot. I'm going to go be an Armorer myself!" And granted that Din probably knows more about Beskar forging than most people just from seeing somebody do it, he probably doesn't know enough to actually do it with any degree of real skill.

That's kind of what Boba did. He's see crime lords do crime lording, but he's been a most on his own bounty hunter so he doesn't really have the administrative/organizational skills to run a real criminal business.

No it’s not. The Clone Wars TV show was already being made. George Lucas came in the check on their progress, and said something like, “We should do a theatrical release for this,” so they had to scramble to smash the 3-4 most complete episodes they had together into a movie. And bam, we had the Clone Wars movie.

Those were okay but the bit with the rancor was humour in a moment that really didn't need humour.

The woman was thrown through the air from a vehicle going at least 60mph and landed face-first in the sand. I'm surprised a tooth was all that she lost.

Oh God, final scene before the credits:

Boba is resting in the bacta chamber, suddenly the lid is opened and someone is holding a gaffi stick to his throat.
Boba opens his eyes. Camera pans along the stick to see it's being held by the Tusken warrior lady, now sporting a prominent round belly.
"Hreeergh Ernk Ernk Hrooonk!" (subtitles: "Boba... we need to talk.")

Got any deathsticks?
My housemates have started watching the show now that all the episodes are out. The first four episodes definitely feel separate from the last three where it gives up any pretense of being about Boba Fett anymore and goes into Mando territory. It's not just switching gears, it's switching mode of transportation entirely and they feel like two wildly different moods crossing over. The first four episodes are a slow burn serial buildup of the plot and then the last three are Mando style semi-standalones where you stop to point at the references.

Episodes 2 and 4 are the best stuff for Fett, 1 is alright, 3 is mostly boring outside of the Krrsantan fight and Fett playing with his rancor puppy.

I just wish that Mando hadn't taken over the show.
