I am not for them turning this into the Boba Fett show. Give him his own show. Just when we saw Pedro's sexy face!
it was bo Katan. You can see her limping when she gets back up
No, this is fanfic Luke, still riding high on the Endor victory. Luke in the sequel trilogy is the truest fucking extrapolation of a character who has lost everything that I have ever seen. People need to stop this bullshit.
Nope because Giancarlo Esposito said that we'll see a lot of Moff Gideon is season 3 and I don't see how he'd be relevant if season 3 just decided to be about Boba Fett

'The Mandalorian': Giancarlo Esposito discusses the second half of season 2
Giancarlo Esposito on how we're about to see a lot more Moff Gideon, his new Darth Vader-like armor and weighing in on Baby Yoda's egg eating.
Phew, thank you.
We need all the Mandos we can get in the post-OT era.
Soooo.... Was that the final episode of the Mandalorian as a series? Book of Boba seems like that's where it's taking over.
So they had previously announced that Mando Season 3 would be starting in December 2021. I think its very likely that this "Book of Boba Fett" is exactly that - season 3 of the Mandalorian. I think it might be a dual story season, jumping back and forth between Din/Bo and Boba/Fennec - with the groups coming to together initially as allies but eventually as enemies.
That all being said, I'm surprised this episode didn't touch on the cloning/blood stuff more. I freaked out when we got 'Just one X-Wing' followed by a Jedi fucking shit up. To me it was always Luke as soon as that moment happened but it wasn't until we saw the green saber for the first time that I started freaking out. I agree with others that they should have just cast someone else but Star Wars does like to do their weird CG and De-aging stuff.
There are stories still to be told for Din and Grogu, I'm sure of it. Even if they have to do a time jump - there is still stuff to be told there. But man, that scene where he gives him over to Luke was heartbreaking. I'm really not sure what's next for them but hey I don't write the show. For Din atleast, I guess it will involve the Darksaber and Mandalore. Also as no major characters died here there's still pretty large implications for their futures and the deeds they were involved in.

Come on. Even when it's bad, that's not the kind of bleak Star Wars is. Younglings was weird in ROTS but they're not giving that treatment to Grogu, who they spent two seasons establishing and had this big triumphant ending etc
Between R1, Clone Wars, and Mando I think folks should stop trying to attack force users in hallways.
Sasha's alive. Bo gets shot, but is up later on in the scene, when Luke walks in.
You know what's great? To see Luke's Green lightsaber protecting children rather then trying to murder them in there sleep.
Grogu survived one mass-Jedi slaughtering, he can survive another.
One more time and he gets a free sundae.

I was wondering how long it would take for this take to show up. Suffice it to say that I think Favreau, at least, seems to agree with you.
I mean, Boba transitioning to the main character doesn't mean the main Mando S1-S2 cast can't be involved.
It's debuting exactly when Disney said Mando S3 would debut, and the "Book of" title goes with Mando's "chapter" setup.
No. There's still more than 15 years between this and when Kylo kills most of Luke's students (some survived). Filoni and Favreau and Lucasfilm in general knows people right away would come to the conclusion that Grogu would be killed along with the rest of Luke's students years later, so they wouldn't have done this if they didn't have a way later on to reassure the audience that Grogu's fate isn't sealed already.
I dug seeing god mode Luke tonight, but I also agree that Luke in the sequel trilogy is a much more compelling character than he was in the original trilogy.
But he never tried to murder Ben, he had a moment of weakness where he ignited his lightsaber and it was a fleeting instant which Ben took to look like Luke was trying to murder him
I mean this was great, but the notion that TLJ Luke is somehow incorrect or out of character is fucking idiotic. I do hope they get Sebastian Stan for any future appearances, though. He's not an exact match but he's better than the CG double.
Man. I don't know what to say about this episode. Out of all the episode the pacing in this one was absolute dogshit. It felt like the effects were patched together in about 30 minutes post production. By the time Luke showed, my heart wasn't even in it anymore.
I mean, he's real tiny, he could be under someone else's body.
He wasn't trying to murder him, Ben is just a stupid person
.
They explained Mando's armour thing, have some faith.
Presumably there's a reason why she lost it (and Gideon ended up with it)
Holy Fuck. What did I just watch? It was pure fanservice out the ass, but I loved every second of it. Filoni and Favreau, that madmen. Actually getting to use Luke. This opens up so many possibilities.
And honestly, the deepfake/CG of it all really didn't look that bad, and I'm sure can even be improved if they used him more. I was fooled in most of the shots -- it's like he was grafted straight out of Return of the Jedi. As soon as that X-Wing showed up, I had the widest grin on my face. And as soon as that green lightsaber ignited, it got even wider. I don't know what sorcery they used, but it felt good. I mean, it feels good to feel like a kid again in general. And this did that.
Luke aside, I enjoyed the team up a lot more than last season (even though Cara Dune is still a terrible character with a terrible actor, who we need to never see again after this). The direction from Peyton Reed was pretty good. The Dark Troopers were cool (and I am sure will be back when Luke is not around to save them). The fight with Gideon was well choreographed, and I was pleasantly surprised that they actually let Grogu go.
Now the only question is... Well, is "The Book of Boba Fett" another new show, or simply the next chapter of THIS show? I am sure Disney will make it clear in a week or so after people have had a chance to watch the episode, but I am pretty curious. I also can't tell if this was meant to be a series finale and the outstanding stuff with Bo Katan retaking Mandalore is happening in another show, or if this really was just a season finale. I guess the answer to the Boba Fett question will also answer this one.
Overall, despite all the flaws I've complained about over the course of these two seasons, I was really happy with this. And either way, whatever form the future holds: be it continuing to follow Din and Bo Katan, following Boba Fett now, and/or just launching all these other shows: At least there will be multiple characters, not just a singular non-speaking one. So the sky is the limit from here.

Can we just talk more about Boba rolling up into Bib Fortuna's (yep) palace, murdering him, and taking over the Tattoine underworld? I love it. And that's some more old EU lore legitimized.
Cyborg AI Palpatine is gonna finish off Grogu when he destroys Rey's new jedi order.
You seriously think post-production on that scale works 30 minutes you got some issues and then again it's the same site that thinks that the rushed games are because they don't like "the gamers"
yeah, the opening scene was rough. For all my enjoyment of the show, it's really making me miss big screen CGI, action, and yes, acting. Pedro and Giancarlo did good though.
can I just say that my favorite part of this moment is boba on the throne or that it's in the palace, but rather just how badass Fennec Shand is
