Yeah always good to see the R3X unitsYes! Also the casino dealer was the droid pilot from the Star Tours ride.
So who do we think killed the sand people? Fennecs line about it being unlikely that bikers killed them seems obvious foreshadow
I might've missed the honorable part but I thought he was just trying to be a different type of crime lord, one ruling with strength but respect instead of outright fear. The jobber just wants things to run smoothly under his watch and get all the money instead of risking his life to go after crazy villains like a dude with a laser sword like the one that killed his dad and one whose friend almost killed him. He didn't want to stop illegal spice trade, he didn't want them attacking the Tuskens and them for access across their lands.The honorable thief that sells a highly addictive drug mined for slave mines? Because that was the "respect" he was about with the Tuskens.
Sorry, but you can't be an "honorable" crime lord. What is he going to do? Outlaw slavery? Outlaw the sex slave trade? Outlaw illegal drugs? What about protection rackets, what will he do when businesses don't want to pay? What does he do to gamblers that can't pay their loans back? Or really anyone that takes out a loan and can't pay? Will he only allow smuggling of safe goods and not anything like people or drugs or weapons or stolen cultural artifacts?
Yes, I can see how this "honorable" crime lord would not want a ship named Slave I while living on a planet where slavery is legal.
Big difference between a "thief" and a fucking crime boss. Enfys Nest were honorable thieves, Boba Fett is not.
I, honestly, feel like this is an intentional choice because he has so little back story in the films, they decided to deconstruct any myth around him by making him a bit of a joke. It's weird.

Well, that's true.To be fair, he was a joke in the films. A guy who couldn't see sent him into the Sarlaac Pit.
Do you like the show so far? Answer is based on that honestly.
I thought he was cooler melted.I found it kinda funny how the bacta tank fully healed Boba from his pale and scarred skin to his original look.
People have been saying Phasma was just NuFett since 2015

it's not exactly breaking news
Please look forward to Phasma's Diary coming to Disney+ in 2053
Because Boba Fett was never a hero? Him being mysterious and having no morals was exactly why the character was so popular all these years. The deliberate attempt in making him some kind of hero just flys in the face of any fan expectation.
What happened to Sy Snootles??

are you begin deliverately obtuse??
hundreds of characters like these exist.
fucking Poe Dameron himself runnned spice.
Han solo worked for jabba.
i dont get your point??
what is exactly what you want??
to bobba to admit to himself Walter White style, "i did it for myself, i was good at it" or something???
are you new to star wars?
newsflash the rebels are terrorist, and there are hundred of systems that were ok with the empire.
this moral test you want bobba to pass is stupid
Worked is the operative word here. WORKED.
Boba Fett isn't trying to move on from a life of crime, he wants to do MORE crime. This is like saying Walter White is a good guy because he just makes the meth, he's not killing anyone (at the start). Do you not understand how morally wrong it is to be a CRIME LORD? Do you not understand that it is impossible to be a nice CRIME LORD?
I just want to break a few legs for not paying debts, not kill their whole family. See, I'm a good guy. ☺
Are you seriously going to pretend that the idea of a profesional criminal who operates in a gang of criminals but is a good person with a moral line is some sort of unheard of concept?
Once again, that's an honorable THIEF. NOT A CRIME LORD.
A honorable thief can steal from the rich and give to the poor or steal only from criminals. A crime lord literally controls all crime in their area and makes money off of the suffering of others. You cannot be a nice crime lord. Is he going to outlaw the spice trade on Tatooine? Slavery? Gambling? Protection rackets? Loan sharking? Smuggling? Etc.
If so, how is he making money? And how is his job then not just being a governor as opposed to a crime boss?
We LITERALLY saw him when he was with the noble Tusken Raiders approve of the spice trade and only asked the Pykes cut them in on a share when passing through their territory. IS THAT ROBIN HOOD BEHAVIOR?
"Hey yo, it's alright for you to move your heroin through my territory as long as I get a taste of the action. I am very noble and good."
We then saw him in present day walk around Tatooine demanding protection money from all the local businesses. This is good?

Ok so Robin Hood commanded a bunch of thieves to commit crime to benefit a larger community yes?
You could say that Robin Hood leaded them yes?
So what exactly is the difference between leading a group of people to commit crime to benefit a community and leading a LARGE group of people to commit crime to benefit a LARGER community?
Your point is frankly, ridiculous.
Are you not aware that many drug lords in this very world actually take good care of the communities they hide in?
Does that make them good and noble role models? No. Does it make them well liked in that community and gets people on their side? Yes.
Your entire excuse for your argument is that Boba presents himself as a hero, he isn't and he hasn't. He's just an okay guy criminal. Like thousands of characters before him.
Reads like sophistry to be honest.
Never heard of Pablo Escobar? The dude was a narcoterrorist who killed many innocents yet his funeral was attended by over 25,000 people since while evil he actually took care of his community.
Um, 1) I did not say Boba Fett was presenting himself as a hero. I was disagree what he was doing was noble and/or heroic. He obviously doesn't see himself that way and specifically says he's in it for the credits.
2) Again, Robin Hood was not a crime lord that ran protection rackets, drug dealing, sex slavery, and all other manners of illicit and immoral vice.
If only we could all be as noble as Pablo Escobar.
For this season a 5 sounds about right, could go either way with Filoni's episode.Chances of an adult Omega from Bad Batch showing up from 1-10, 10 being most likely? I'm gonna give it a 5.
Band broke up after the sand barge incident
What Boba is doing is noble and heroic to the people he's helping. Same like what Escobar did was noble and heroic to that community who idolized him despite his brutal methods
That's basically the whole "Honor among thieves" type of characters.
Edit: Boba is more like the Red Hood taking over the drug gangs of Gotham and forbidding all of them from dealing to minors or killing innocents to ensure crime remains under control and make streets safe.
Is it possible that maybe instead of arguing how Boba Fett is a 'pablo escobar vs robin hood character' that maybe.. you know...its not that deep, and the show is really not that well written.
Then I agree with you!I don't think you understand that trope. Pablo Escobar was not an honorable thief.
But I already said that.
I don't think you understand that trope. Pablo Escobar was not an honorable thief.
But I already said that.
Well no, he was a real life monster.
But the trope for characters usually avoids calling out the character on the worst aspects of their criminal activities.
In a world where we now have to deal with poor wittle innocent Ben Solo who totally didn't mean to murder all those kids and it was all a big misunderstanding (Thanks comics), I feel like Boba being seen as a cool guy who also runs a shady business is much less egregious
Can't wait for Mando to show up and make Boba Fett look like Boba Fett at home.
I'm not kidding I'm going to crack up if Din goes full tank mode while Boba is off to the sides getting beaten up by a buff Jawa.
I kind of want a buff Jawa special now.Can't wait for Mando to show up and make Boba Fett look like Boba Fett at home.

There was a funny story in the Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina book about a Jawa who wanted revenge on the stormtroopers that killed his clan looking for R2 and C3PO. He makes trades for a blaster and plans to ambush the troopers outside the cantina. He gets drunk to get some courage, finds his spot outside, then at the right moment, jumps out doing his best Tusken yell and pulls the trigger over and over. But it doesn't fire. And it doesn't end well for him. But props for the bravery, little dude.
you sure?Robin Hood was not a crime lord that ran protection rackets, drug dealing, sex slavery, and all other manners of illicit and immoral vice.
You're looking at this the wrong way but just assuming that things will be exactly the same under Boba Fett. Like, that's willfully ignoring the story being told. Dude had an extortionist come up to him to complain about some thieves stealing his overpriced water and Boba's reaction was to tell the dude to reduce his prices and hire the thieves. If someone tried to assassinate Jabba they'd be murdered no questions asked as well as the suspects. Etc. etc.Again, Robin Hood was not a crime lord that ran protection rackets, drug dealing, sex slavery, and all other manners of illicit and immoral vice.
