Too late. You've been reported. You are now on a list. Presumably in a book.

After this week's flashback and the revelation at the end, I think he might be playing possum a bit so far to get the Pykes to show themselves because he wants revenge for the slaughter of the Tuskens.

Also, I don't believe we saw the Tusken Warrior among the dead at the camp, so I'm guessing we haven't seen the last of her.



wasn't that the dead tusken at 14:45?? or is it a different one you are referring to? they all kinda look a lot alike!

That was the Chief, but not the one with what looked like black dreads who taught Boba to fight.

At least that is what I saw.

I suspect I am correct cuz well you suck!

Yeah, but Ewoks are generally considered a dumb yet tolerable idea. It's generally accepted as the point where George Lucas went away from making good cinema towards making goofy characters to sell toys. Also, if the Ewoks were dressed in some human fashion trend, it would be more on the level of what we are seeing here. If we had heavy metal Ewoks riding around on Harley Davidsons people would have been pretty pissed.

It is actually kind of "George Lucas". It's like that stupid space diner scene in Episode 2 with the robots in robot mini skirts.

I thought we saw the chief dead, but not the one who taught Fett how to fight with the gaffi stick.

A big improvement this week over last week. At least we get to see some glimpses of old school Boba mixed in with the hippie Boba.

I like the way things are coming together, the background on why he even wanted to bother with Jabba's empire is very helpful and I thought it was answered well.

Will be a very interesting final few weeks now.

Fun stuff, we learn why Boba was in the Bacta tank, an arm gets Wookied, we learn how to kill a Sarlacc and blasting speed bikes.

Also nice to see the Rancor's no longer depressed

That’s a pretty low bar to get over with this show.


It was better, but man the pacing in this show is slow!

I enjoyed it, but there's something on the pacing that just feels wrong. To me the show feels really draggy.


It doesn't help that we get long scenes of Boba staring into the horizon on the slowest Bantha ever. And effects wise it just looks horrible.


I'm sure the Tattoonine chapter of Green Peace is putting a bounty on Boba for killing the majestic Sarlacc (In fact I'd love to see that episode).


Wonder if the muscle that they're going to hire is Crimson Dawn, however we know in the events of Solo that the Pikes and CD are allies. But it makes sense when facing one criminal organization you bring in another one and let them fight.

Had no idea that Fennec was a cyborg. Thought that was a cool reveal.

I think it's a good show. It's Star Wars, don't think about it too hard. Just enjoy canon-offshoot stories with a bag of popcorn.

I liked the shout out to Grievous, and the Bunny rat catcher droid is a bit of an easter egg to Clone Wars.



Plus we got the middle manager torture droid 2000.

he somehow flamebroiled his way out of the Sarlacc without killing it. interesting. I still don't like the look of the ROTJ Special Edition Sarlacc. looks too much like Little Shop of Horrors.

Yeah, I always hated the beak head. I liked the idea of a massive open mouth with tentacles.
