The Book of Boba Fett Episode 7 (Page 1 of 2)

I’m impressed as hell and can’t wait to see where this goes! Will Boba accompany Din??? Will Boba decide to stay in Mos Espa???? Also BANE GOT HIS KARMA!!!!!

Now that it’s all wrapped up I can confidently say this show has been incredibly disappointing. After four meandering episodes of alluding to some big conflict and two Fett-less episodes of advertisement for mando season 3 we have a super cluttered finale that delivers on nothing but poorly shot choppily edited action mixed with baby yoda antics (remember to see the mandalorian season 3 coming soon!!)

Despite being treated as the main rival Cad Bane felt shoved in at the last moment and his entire emotional conflict with boba revolves around a scene from an unfinished episode of the clone wars shown once at a convention.

Mando being present at all is also so distracting for me, feels like that Queen movie where it was contractually obligated for every band member to have the same screen time, it’s like Fett can’t do anything without sharing it with his spiritual replacement.

I know I’m ranting here, but it’s because I feel like a lot was so promising. The concept art for the show demonstrates how great it could have been at least visually. Take the painting in this weeks episode of Bane standing amongst the flames in the standoff, the lighting is dynamic with dramatic contrast, but as Rodriguez shoots it he’s standing in a flatly lit empty cgi alleyway. To me that’s indicative of the show’s biggest shortcomings, not shiny speeders or whatever.

Finished with my second viewing,my only fear is that the YouTube Theory Bros will kill and potential about for a Season 2. Rancor was awesome and now I want a miniature of it to paint. Only complaint is Boba should have flew over to get the rancor to chill and Din seeing the Mythosaur skull on his epaulet as he does it. That is all. I had a blast. It’s a good time to be a Fett Fan

That was my favorite scene too but I doubt he’s dead. His pacemaker or whatever starts beeping while the camera lingers on his body. I don’t think anybody is dead in this series anymore except Dooku. Not because Christopher Lee is literally dead, they’ve proven they’ll digitally resurrect people, but because his head literally got chopped off and rolled away. Star Wars characters have the mortality of horror movie killers.

Pains me to say it, but I was bitterly disappointed by this finale. Boba's plan was terrible, he was lied to and fooled at every turn, he was passive or totally reactive, he was never in control and totally relied on other people turning up to save him.

Remember when he said he had credits, which can hire muscle? That sounded good, but then his whole "army" (which Din organised) came from Freetown, and they all worked for free! The rancor was going to be great, but then he and Boba were basically just a distraction, so Din and Grogu could take the droid out. And it was so annoying when they saw their blasters had no effect on the droid's energy shields, but they just kept firing anyway. And when they ran, they ran in straight lines down the street!

And Fennec taking out all the leaders? Just a bunch of mystery shots from the roof, then she teleported in behind the Pyke and we're all done. Just... like, nothing clever, just the most basic plan you could think of. And I love Cad Bane, but hated seeing Boba get repeatedly out drawn and shot. I really wish Boba had just come down with the rancor and eaten him. Indiana Jones duel style.

And I still don't understood the whole "crime lord" angle. He seemed totally out of his depth and had no idea what he was doing. It just didn't make any sense. He's such a great guy now, all the common people love him. Time to get back to my crime empire?

Anyway, I loved the Tusken stuff at the start, and there were some good moments throughout the series, but I'll never watch this again. We'll always have Tython, though. And at the end of the day, that's all I need. His finest hour.

Some more clumsy looking cgi and direction from Rodriguez and a few illogical story beats, but I liked the episode overall. Boba and Din fighting side by side with their arsenal of weapons and jet packs was great.  Parts of the rancor fighting looked good when they didn’t show Boba looking so awkward on his back.  Boba defeating Cad Bane with the gaffi stick while Vane talked too much was appropriate, but I doubt Bane is really dead. Definitely had the Mando season 2.5 vibes with Pelli Motto humor and grogu saving Din from the rancor at the end, but I didn’t mind that as much as the prior episodes since Boba was actually doing stuff in this one. Cobb Vanth is definitely coming back with prosthetic gun arm in season 3 of Mandalorian or his own show.

So NOW Bane is finally dead. Still killed by Boba as originally planned but in a different setting.

I had mixed feelings about it. I kind of wish they kept Bane as an ongoing adversary for Fett but I think they have an overall plan where they want to take the series with new characters. Was glad to see him back for this.

Count me in as a fan of this episode, and maybe the whole series if I give it some time.

What I really wanted was to see Fett kick ***, and by God, he truly did. He rode a goddamn Rancor. Killed (?) Cad Bane.

Had a goofy 'let's-all-laugh-together' ending with his corny crew, what more can a fan want?

I really liked how Cad Bane was almost disappointed how "soft" Boba had gotten. It's like they anticipated fandom's reaction.

Remember, if we want a cold killer Boba, we have all those awesome Legends stories for that.

They clearly saved all the action for the last episode lol I enjoyed the madness.

Overall I'd give the series a 7/10 some great moments but some guff as well. Looking forward to seeing Boba pop up in more Star Wars shows and the Mando Verse in future

Well, that was an episode. For me, this one was definitely the highlight of the series. But it had it's shortcomings too.

The Good:
- The Mando and Boba team up. Amazing. The choreography was also much better. More please in Mando S3!
- The Rancor scenes.
- Boba V Cad finisher.
- The twist when the Majordomo guy is talking to the pikes which set up the Boba and Din fight. Hilarious.
- Grogu scenes were actually good. At first, I didn't want there to be ANY Grogu scenes in this episode due to the last one and I was fearing it would take Boba's screen time even more, but this was good.

The Bad:
- WAYY to many Mod lines/story/dialogue/everything. Nobody likes any of these characters. Should've died, or never existed.
- Also too much Peli Motto. Whenever she appears on screen in any show makes me roll my eyes and sigh. Makes the show too light-hearted.
- Didn't promote a second season in the post-credits scene!

The Should Have Done:
- Boba solo fight scene(s). I loved the Boba and Din team scene but it seems like Boba always needs help to fight. Some solo scenes would be nice.
- When Krrsantan was limping toward the group behind the speeder and he was getting shot at, he probably should have died. There was no weight to the episode. The Tusken deaths were faaar too predictable and thus carried no weight. Cad Bane was old, and his death was more like a good end to the character. No weight there. If Krrsantan had died (which I thought was happening in that scene), it would have been much better for the mood. Even if they can't do any more with the character, it would have helped the series.
- Killed the mods.

I liked this episode a lot, and I really hope they do a second season. I understand this was probably an experiment of sorts, but they know what the fans want now. Maybe they thought we would like Mando more and that's why they gave him 2 episodes. They were good but the general audience reaction was still "where's Boba?" indicating that he is still more popular, which is also probably why people are harsher on this series. Boba's an old character, the fans know who he is. Din is a new character, the fans don't know who he is yet. Anyway, please Disney make a second season. That's all for now.

the book of boba fett episode 7 was the best *Boba fett* episode of the show. also YESSS we get to see boba ride the rancor!!
