Really? I thought that was a Legends thing. Guess I got confused.
I assume since jedi killed his papa, that will be the main source of conflict btwn mando and boba fett.
I hope they include the Sarlaac belch as a reminder that Boba Fett is cinema's longest wind-up to a belch gag.
Aren't the monks from Legends? I don't think they have been mentioned at all in Canon yet
good shit
everyone mentioned KOTOR, but all I could think of was Krayt hunting in SWG
yup

My biggest hope is to see this! I'm pretty sure the production team is aware of how great this would be
Jango was not a Mandalorian from my understanding, and Boba inherited his armor
Oh and its cool the skeleton from ANH was what this creature was

Obi-Wan made a Krayt Dragon roar to scare the Tusken Raiders
At one point pre-CU the game (SWG) combat was so busted that you could solo Krayt Dragons for pearls.
I wonder if Boba remembers Yoda as I like to think Boba did some research into the current Order when his Father died and so seeing his species will spark some unpleasant memories.
Fun episode. Still, nothing incredibly mind-blowing, but still a whole lot of fun.
There is still a massive quality gap between the different scenes. Sometimes it looks cinematic, other times it looks like a student film. Same with the CGI, sometimes it looks incredible, other times it's embarrassingly bad.
The battle against the Krayt dragon looked incredible though. Top-quality CGI and very interesting to see the show go from 21:9 to 16:9 for that segment. It's a look that fits the show a bit better and they should honestly keep it at 16:9. It looked very good. Plus the fact that they, I think, aren't actually shooting the series with anamorphic lenses but cropping in on spherical footage is one of the contributors to why the show sometimes looks amateurish.
The show keeps remaining its video game as well lol. Massive KOTOR vibes with the whole hunting the Krayt dragon. And the speed shot bikes of Mando looked like video game loading screens. Especially the second time around when the Boba Fett guy drove into the frame it reminded me of a Destiny loading screen.

Oh yeah, good point. I hope they explore that somehow.
And I hope they give Boba an interesting character arc.
Glad to see the writers have a lot of love for the movies
That Krayt Dragon was some of the best CGI work I've ever seen. I kept thinking it might actually be a puppet of some kind.
I can see this. Depending on how often Yoda visited the senate, Boba, Luke, and Ezra might be the only people still alive who saw him. And maybe Mas Amedda if he's alive but in jail? Boba likely saw him on some kind of security cam during Geonosis before things really hit the fan.
At least for characters we know the names of.
Had he actually met Boba and gotten along, it'd be super weird for him to have gotten sent to Luke, who Boba 100% knows is a Jedi.

Also got a big kick out of Mando basically sending Cobb away like Han sent Boba flying.
It's like poetry, it rhymes.

Bringing Maul back was 100% a Lucas idea. Filoni was even against it at first I think, or wasn't sure how to make it work.
?
You forgot Ahsoka. Out of the currently alive characters she would have known Yoda best.
For the Republic, he's likely a wanted felon. His best case scenario is somehow getting a meeting with Luke or Leia directly, but it's worth noting they've got no clue where Yoda came from so it's not exactly what he was sent to do.
I don't think we know what's happened to Mandalore? Could be the people left en mass after the empire took over or they were so thoroughly enslaved that only the groups that lived off world could continue the traditions. Also worth noting he was saved by people apparently in Death Watch, so it's possible he'd either not be welcomed or they kept certain truths from him.
Can we get a special of Boba pursuing Old Man Harrison Ford and Chewie across the galaxy, leading to Han ultimately killing Boba but losing the Falcon? C'mon Disney! Offered Harrison Ford another large chunk of change

Does Boba even know it was Han who hit his jetpack? Does Han even know he did that to Boba?
Well, Jango did have a million other guys that look just like him.
So, he could have had a clone swap places with him, and since the clones are not as good as Jango thats why he was taken out so easily.
It'd be funny if Boba was like, "I crawled out of that Great Pit of Carkoon, half-dead. I scraped and survived solely to have my revenge on you..." and Han's all, "Dude, what?"
Really enjoyed the episode! Loved how they stayed true to some Star Wars lore like the Krayt pearl. I also have to wonder if Timothy's "look" was a nod to the pre-prequels unmasked Boba Fett. Sure looked like him!
Cant wait for more!!

Based on my avatar, I'm just going to assume Raylan Givens ended up on Tattoine after getting tired of Harlan.
Between this week's Discovery and Mandolorian, this has been a real good week for some Star Trek-ass Star Trek, and Star Wars-ass Star Wars.
Hmmm Iger did say some of the newly introduced characters might get their own show... he needs to get off tatooine tho.
Vanth pulling up beside Mando on his speeder is one of my my favorite shots from the series.
Like it feels comedic yet badass and is even an easteregg.

Loved it!
They took a classic SW backdrop and told their own little story in it. That's what I wanna see more of.
Also Olyphant is a cool dude.
Also just discovered that Disney+ has a Watch party function now? That's fantastic!
Hopefully Netflix follows suit - will be of great use during the lockdown.

Ah man, that was awesome! Can't wait for next week!
So does someone know the canonical timeline of the whole Jango/Boba being a Mandalorian or not? I mean we al know he just started as a bounty hunter (before he was a clone of Jango)...but I vaguely recall Boba was already called a Mandalorian before the prequels... or am I mixing stuff up? It always felt like he was a Mando, but then he was a clone of a Mando, and then even that Mando wasn't a Mando :P

This is just great to read through :D
He's one of my favorites from Deadwood and it's great to see him popping up in things that I like.
This was a nice one, except for the last scene.
These guys have gained the right to do whatever they desire and I'll be curious to see what they do with him, but Boba being alive was already lame in the old EU. I really hoped Temura would be in for Rex, not this.

I think the issue with the speeders is that some shots without reference look good but something like the cruise through town doesn't because it's on the stage and they can't easily tow it through the scene or something.
Doesn't really bother me though.
The change in screen format during the big action scene was interesting. The movie quality CGI deserved that.
