I wonder if we'll get confirmation from LF, Disney or even JF himself about 'The Book of Boba Fett' and if it is Season 3 or a separate thing. I'm still in the camp that it is Season 3 and it will 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.

The Mandalorian - Season 2 |OT| Wherever I go, he goes [SPOILERS ON EPISODE DROP]

I really don't understand this obsession that Lucasfilm have with using CGI to recreate faces rather than just cast someone. It's not only distractingly fake but it limits what they can do with the characters.
Now that they've used a CGI Hamill face for Luke he's clearly not going to appear very much in any future episode, it's too expensive and awkward. Does anyone actually like this kind of CGI?

Maybe that's how Bo Katan lost it. Gideon divide the mandalorian saying she didn't deserve to be the leader etc. That's why Bo Katan insist that she's the one fighting Gideon this time and refused to be given the darksaber by Din
Okay, great episode for the most part. That said.
Why did it take so long for the Dark Troopers to com out of their holding stasis? And more importantly...
Why the fuck would you put an ejection door right there?!! By your biggest assets?!
Gideon: "My Dark troopers are powerful, near indestructible and very, VERY fucking slow!"

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
She's so great. Glad they kept her around.
She's the first Mando character to be put out into other media, right? Seeing as she's in The Bad Batch.
To be fair, they still would have all died if Luke hadn't shown up
I can imagine it's their say of "honoring" the actor. Though. If that truly were the case they'd get them for the cartoons too.
Who fucking knows why they do it.
So The Mandalorian is going from 'discount Boba Fett' to 'actual Boba Fett'? Huh.
This is where I'm at. Though they used this episode to set up drama between Din Djarin and Bo Katan so I imagine we'll be seeing Din again.
Book 1 of the Mandalorian has been completed. It makes sense a new book would start.
Luke was used Battlefront in canon,
Rebels got to use Leia and Lando
They explained that they needed time to power up. The entire plan hinged on getting to them in that interim. And it's not an ejection door, it's how they go out on missions like when they stole Grogu. If the outer door is locked and the room is pressurized you can create a vacuum, as is common in pretty much all of scifi. It was only a temporary setback for flying robots.
You think they would have announced that in the investor meeting.
We don't know it'll switch protaginist. Just a new story with Boba Fett's rise as the focus.
Din say that he will see Grogu again. So I assume Din got him back later when Grogu is trained for a couple years
Yeah but videogames is one thing. Live action is a totally different thing.
I like how they're so precious about Luke and Leia but had no problem recasting Han and Lando 🥴
Luke showing up was inevitable. But one things the episode did really well was it made the inevitable really upsetting. I've wanted to see post-ROTJ Luke in his prime - just like all the obsessive (and deeply wrong) Last Jedi detractors who can't handle the fact that their childhood hero ever had to deal with disappointment and failure and bitterness like a regular aging human being - and we did, but it came at a high cost. Brilliant.
No way there isn't a time skip in this series' future; right? Would at the very least allow them to use Mark Hamill more effectively.
Cannot WAIT for the Book of Boba Fett. I have only recently had any reason to truly care about the character but it's the first Maori-led Star Wars series to be followed by the first Maori-directed Star Wars film. Pakeha imperials have been colonising space for far too long.

If we are switching gears to Boba starting next season then I'll be annoyed. I was already worried that would be the case when all the trades reported a Boba show was being made and it was suspiciously missing from the Disney investor meeting. Yes, it's technically possible Mando+ Boba come out next December but logistically speaking does that honestly make sense? This Book of Boba Fett would literally have to be 3 episodes or something. Also, how on earth are they shooting Mando season 3 and a Boba show at the same time? Season 2 of Mando started production in October of last year and premiered at the end of October of this year.
there's just no way they crank out TWO shows in such a short time span

He gained weight fast lol
How much time has it been since Jabba died and the events of the show?
Five years, which is pretty normal by human metabolism standards.
Book of Bobba my guess will be a mini-series or prologue to Mando chapter 3. They went out of their way this Ep to reestablish Bobba is not a Mando.
Now though Mando has a cruiser as a ship and the Darksaber, and Beskar spear with a rightful claim to Mandalore. There is no way his story is done.

Debuting at the exact same time? Just after a very substantial finale in which the main character's greatest goal was achieved?
you really think Mando S3 (which was announced for "Christmas 2021") and this thing (announced for "December 2021") are different things?
really
Mandalore was massacred. I don't think we can take that sequence as gospel for darksaber rules. Maybe it works differently when you don't have the unified houses behind you by virtue of the fact that they no longer exist. There are no more legitimized claims to the weapon. And it was stolen, which is likely the biggest taboo. There's just a lot we don't know, and there is literally no chance F&F discounted and/or forgot that scene.
TBF Han and Lando were really young in Solo so a recast was a logical choice.
What a beautiful moment ruined by shoehorned shitty cgi NOT LUKE. That was so egregiously bad. Distracting, obnoxious and hands down THE worst Star Wars effects that have ever been displayed. I'm kind of sad that's the way it ends. An incredible episode up until those last 3 minutes. Ugh, what the FUCK were they thinking?
Young Han and Lando got way way way more screen time in that one film than young Leia or Luke ever will.
Of course?
Mandalorian is incredibly popular, they are not just replacing it with a Boba Fett series. Din and Grogu will be reunited eventually, probably some time next season.
Din is set up for a conflict with Bo now too. He has the dark saber. This is a new beginning for him, which he needed going into S3.
I am 100% sure these are separate things.
Just because it's more focused on Boba doesn't mean other stories can't happen
just like this series being focused on Din didn't mean other stories couldn't
Lol. After all the spin-offs that were revealed, you find it hard to believe that two different shows might be going on at the same time?
