This episode is GREAT

very confused about the Empire's authentication system that requires you to scan your face but doesn't seem to...verify to see that you're actually part of the Empire before handing over incredibly sensitive info?

also wondering when Boba found the time to get a new paint job, and why he didn't seem to ever bother to in the original trilogy if he actually does care how it looks

that concludes my thoughts on this ep

I found that funny, but it's possible he was scanned and registered in their books earlier in his life when they formed the government? Though if he never revealed his face at all not sure how that works.

Good episode overall, enjoyed the pirate fights. Kinda wished they found Gideons coordinates early on and started that adventure early as part of a two-parter but oh well.

I love how we got seismic charges again!!

Good:
Bill Burr, so glad he was back and so glad he survived and will surely show up again down the road
Richard Brake! Always great
The bomb that Boba dropped
Mando taking off his helmet
The pirate fight had its moments

Bad:
Cara Dune and Fennec. Had to google their names. Boy did the writers fail these two, zero personality traits between the two of them. We kept loling whenever they would just appear on different mountain tops with perfect vantage points
I just rewatched The Raid and these fight scenes in comparison are....bad. They're so awkwardly shot. Along the same lines, when those final pirates are running to the bridge they all try to throw grenades and every single one of them dies before managing to get theirs off, it looked so stupid. Small things like that are so frequent on this show, like boulder trooper last week
My roommates thought Boba looked dope, I liked his beat up armor so much better
Could've squeezed a looooot more tension out of a Sorcerer like explosive vehicle bridge sequence. Its a shame they dont spend more time on some of this stuff, they fly through set pieces so fast

ya the new paint job looked lame. Almost like it was someone cosplaying Boba

What new paint

I liked this episode a lot. Up there with the first 2 episodes of the season for me

I need more Bill Burr tbh. I would love for him to be a regular.

I just watched the spider episode and I need a shower and maybe a flamethrower for my nightmares.

Katee Sackhoff is a forever badass.

Loved the Ahsoka episode.

I get why Ahsoka didn't want to train baby yoda because of her master being Anakin and all that. But they really didn't convey that super well, and now they're off to find another Jedi to take him in. But... you are a Jedi!

I was waiting for her to say the one-liner "I'm no Jedi" like she did in the show. I was idssapointed! But I like how when she said to Mando that a Jedi would come implied that she wasn't one

I was shouting in my head MANDO GET YOUR JETPACK. AY YOUR JETPACK. MANDO for like half the episode

Him leaving it in the grass all episode for more or less no reason sure was something. :lol:

I woulda loved Ahsoka saying "I'm no Jedi" for the ppl who have no idea who she is.
