I like that they are answering how he escaped the sarlac pit and how he has survived so far with the flashbacks, I'm liking it. Maybe cad bane might show up at some point
That multi-armed sand creature had a real Jason and the Argonauts kind of feel, and definitely helped make this episode feel a lot more like a sci-fi serial. Loved it!
you made me go look online for a pic of those holochess pieces from episode 4 but didn't see one that looked like this tattooine creature. the closest was the K'lor Slug but that has more legs.
This episode was so very, very Robert Rodriguez. Grandpa Rodriguez is sitting with us around the campfire with his guitar. He's a master of tall tales. He knows all the secret stories, or maybe he just makes them up on the spot, but they're all entertaining. We ask him about Boba Fett. So he starts telling us about Boba Fett. One smart-alec kid asks how he even got out of the Sarlacc Pit anyway. Rodriguez answers confidently that he PUNCHED his way out. It's the dumbest shit you've ever heard, but the way he says it, and the little melody he plays on his guitar, means you buy it fully. Once you buy that, the rest is simple. He's going to do funny voices. He's going to make shadow puppets with his hands. He paid a couple dudes -- paid them in beer, that is -- to show up in cheap papier mache masks at crucial points in his story just to add a bit of colour. That's fucking Rodriguez and I'm here for it.
It's funny you mention the creature at the end looking like something you would see in Spy Kids. Robert Rodriguez is the director of this episode, and he also directed episode 6 "The Tragedy" in season 2 of the Mandalorian. Robert Rodgriguez also directed all 4 Spy Kids movies and the Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl. Those films were good for a certain audience and had unique special effects for their time. But I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised at his directing style.
If I reckon, that four arms creature was one of the playable characters in the game that Chewie and Luke used in that game they played in the Millennium Falcon.
I like how Boba is still suffering from the sarlacc. We know he is an amazing fighter but you don't just walk away from that. Great job with character building. I can't wait to see more. Also f Jawas; they're vicious.
thank you for saying that about boba and still being affected by the sarlacc!!! a lot of people just wanted to see bad ass boba!!! im like im sorry dude isn't just going to be bad ass boba after being in the sarlacc for a while and he's injured by it hence the tank. I swear somtimes people have no patience to allow a story to unfold they just want instant gratification with zero story and character building
It's a very similar, yet unique beast of a show. I expected it to just be Mando: But Darker, but it's dealing with Boba's past in an interesting way while fleshing out the criminal underbelly of Tatooine.
Great opening episode!! Love the pieces we're getting to his puzzle. We got one little glimpse of Kamino and there's bound to be more. You nailed it... The fact that Jabba is dead and Boba has been "dead" in the same time is likely why the mayor is not giving a tribute. He likely will have to later on when Boba really takes the lead! Something I've been looking forward to as much as this series is your STAR WARS related sign off..... "May the force be with you, always" is just the way we needed to end this year and start the new!! Thank you so very much!!
When you said the monster reminds you of something from Spy Kids, you're not wrong. Both are massively influenced by Robert Rodriguez love of classic Ray Harryhausen stop motion creatures. Loved this first episode.
When I saw that woman walking the robot dogs I wondered if those were real because they do exist and look exactly like that. Can't wait to see the making of to find out
Seems like the flashbacks were taking up most of the episode which is great.'' We really need a protocol droid'' ''Yours looks shinier then mine'' , jawa's take it right when they get ambushed. Glad We have gamoreans.
liked your review and agree with those points about the fight scene which has quite a lot of people on edge. Would really love to know the director & writers reasoning behind that scene. When I think of them knowing star wars and this character much more than I do, i automatically think they must have a reason so maybe we'll know in time. Lots of good parts, sarlacc, the Tuskens, flashbacks...my only gripe was how little we got in sarlacc time but again we may see more of it as he says 'his dreams are back." I'm very anxious to see how this plays out, how it connects to the other shows and if we'll get to see Bad Batch, Omega...and the overall connection to the other shows
Love the first shot is of the palace Came out the dirt like I LIVE!!!!!! Boba in the tank having ptsd of past trauma Dragging him through the desert like Joseph in the Bible
They look more like the guys from the Cob Vanth episode to me... This whole episode gave me godfather/ Sinbad vibes from the stop motion puppet to the miniature sets to I think painting sets in the opening
Great 1st episode, I was hoping that it would be closer to an hour though. My theory of his escape is that he burned the creature from the inside allowing him to crawl out.
Great Reaction. I just watched it a bit ago. It was badass!. Especially the moment he stands up on Goro's back with the chains. I think the young sand kid was charged with watching Boba and the Rodian probably as a right of passage which was apparent when they returned and he had the head of Goro. We can it Goro for now. Works for me.
loved the first episode...pity they had to steal a scene from Dances with Wolves....Kevin Costner saves the child from a charging buffalo and Bobba saves Kid from some charging ancient Greek god...one thing i really hate that the writers are doing...i first saw this in clone wars, when they introduced witches and voodoo dolls, which put me off the whole series completely...its supposed to be a galaxy far far away not its a galaxy far far away but hey if we cant think of new material then well take earths shit...hated clone wars...but loving Book of Bobba...started off so well...cant wait for next episode...and come on Mandalorian...keep up the good work ,,,you great too watch...ty the mechanical dogs that u see in the town look exactly the same as the ones from war of the worlds...i hope that disney can come up with more unique creatures or bring in a few from the games...
If this was a show just called something like "old guy journeys" I wouldnt have been overly amazed by this episode & probably considered bailing on the series. Its fine. Even somewhat entertaining. But I expected that Mandalorian level entertainment, and it came more with an "okay sci-fi/fantasy" level. If the name wasnt Boba Fett on this series, I think people would drop it after the 1st episode. I liked it, but I didnt love it. Its a show that if it didnt already have back story i was curious about, I probably would have dropped after this episode.
@@greengreeneya2102 I didn't say I thought he would be there for decades, I said I had imagined it for decades. In the movie it says he would slowly be digested for thousands of years, I thought it would be a slow torture. So anyone that falls in the sarlac with a weapon has a good chance of getting out? That is LAME.
@@skybeard6637 Humans do not live 1000 years. His dead body would be there for 1000 years if he did not escaped. Also Boba Fett is not anyone. He has Mandalorian armor and weapons.
@@greengreeneya2102 I know that... but I'm saying like days or a week, not 1000s of years. The armor doesn't cover everything. Yes he has weapons, as I said if you have weapons it seems you have a good chance to get out, it makes the sarlac seem less impressive and therefore boba fett seems less impressive.
Weapons?who has a flamethrower? ,no one else we saw falling into the sarlaac had a weapon like that ,I agree abit longer I wanted inside the sarlaac more of a struggle but we got the message I enjoyed it more on the 2nd viewing..
Certainly not an amazing episode I was not blown away but awful no way.2 3 viewing was way better but I agree more time in the sarlaac less the tuskens .if will get better I've no doubt.
I like that they are answering how he escaped the sarlac pit and how he has survived so far with the flashbacks, I'm liking it. Maybe cad bane might show up at some point
I'm hoping many more bounty hunters show up, Cad Bane, Embo, Bossk, 4LOM, and Dengar to name a few.
Also hoping we'll see Hondo
A lil ambitious but I'd like the appearance
I wish!!!!!! I’m sure live action Cad Bane would epic!!!!!
That multi-armed sand creature had a real Jason and the Argonauts kind of feel, and definitely helped make this episode feel a lot more like a sci-fi serial. Loved it!
YES! That's what it was making me think of! Well, Also Spy Kids 2! haha
@@Omn1Media Definitely that as well!
Absolutely felt like Jason & Argonauts. I half expected skeletons to pop out of the sand.
The creature design looks a bit like the sea monster from Clash of the Titans, from the same FX head as Jason and the Argonauts
I think the world collectively yelled out, “What the Hell Is that thing????”
The sand lizard is from Episode IV. It's one of the holo-chess pieces
Holy shit.
you made me go look online for a pic of those holochess pieces from episode 4 but didn't see one that looked like this tattooine creature. the closest was the K'lor Slug but that has more legs.
Poor Boba just couldn't clobber that little Tusken kid, despite what he'd suffered at their hands. Says a lot about who he is at his core...
Thank you for the Spy Kids reference, I thought I was the only one that saw the spider ape.
I read someone else thought that the creature might be one of the creatures from the chess game.
Loved the Ray Harryhausen vibes with the creature in the desert!

Glad I'm not the only one who had the "is that a krayt--ohhhh nooooooo not a krayt not a krayt" response
The Massif (the watchdog), was mean at first, but he and the Tusken Child seem to have grown fond of Boba 😉😌👍.

Boba obliterating that guy on the roof is me watching a guy leave after we broke up. 😆
The one you called "lieutenant" was the Chief's wife, who showed Boba that even the Chief's wife could mop the floor with the likes of him. )))
That guy 100% got deleted. lol
If I reckon, that four arms creature was one of the playable characters in the game that Chewie and Luke used in that game they played in the Millennium Falcon.

After this and the Mandalorian I no longer feel bad for the Jawa’s killed in A New Hope

@@jbauer140 the show it self should dive deeper into his injuries from the sarlacc pit
@@jbauer140 not implementing in a shitty way that our protagonist is losing most of his encounters
“Dude, that’s metal.”
Well, technically it’s beskar.
🤣 true true!
is that a "THANK YOU SANTA" blind wave shirt
Edit. nevermind you stood up for a sec and i saw it
i would say he was in the sarlac for a couple of days. at least long enough for bobas oxygen to deplete since he had to go to that stormtrooper
It's a very similar, yet unique beast of a show. I expected it to just be Mando: But Darker, but it's dealing with Boba's past in an interesting way while fleshing out the criminal underbelly of Tatooine.
Good point about the gang possibly being the same one as in Mando!
The creature reminded me of the Kraken, except it had two more arm/legs instead of the tail.
Jennifer Beals as a Twi'lek though
Great opening episode!!

I was feeling so bad for Boba the whole episode. He really got the raw deal😢😢😡
Boba Leiaed. That monster
I am honestly so exited for the rest of the series. I think it was a great starter/ set-up episode
When you said the monster reminds you of something from Spy Kids, you're not wrong. Both are massively influenced by Robert Rodriguez love of classic Ray Harryhausen stop motion creatures. Loved this first episode.
Lmao @ "desert Goro". 😂🤣

That blind wave shirt tho
This is the way
Boba just pulled a Leia on that 6 legged thing
33?? Dude, whatever you are doing keep doing it as long as possible, I thought you were in your early 20's, around 24-26!
Great opening episode! Sarlac pit escape was epic. That creature seems to be brand new. Already wishing for next week’s episode. ☺️👍

8/10 for me
Great 1st episode, I was hoping that it would be closer to an hour though. My theory of his escape is that he burned the creature from the inside allowing him to crawl out.
Tattooine definitely the most deadly creatures I’ve ever seen.
for sure,tattooine is effed up. someone should make that planet off limits. Put a piece of police tape or a sign or something...
As an OT fan 80's - 90's generation this is a dream come true. Can't wait for Filoni's Ep! The Mandoverse = The real Sequel Trilogy :)
I think Rodrguez directed all the episodes.
He directed 3 of them.😁
Great Reaction. I just watched it a bit ago. It was badass!. Especially the moment he stands up on Goro's back with the chains.

I hope so.

9:19min until the first audible word is spoken. Amazing
A little underwhelming compared to how the Mandalorian started, but not bad on its own. We'll see I guess.
The choppy editing and the silly looking goblin centipede were my main gripes. Otherwise, I can’t complain. A solid 7.5/10 for me.
So many of these reaction people haven't been to a Disney Park for Star Wars and it shows. #Rex
Weird requirement but okay! I've always wanted to but never been financially able to do so let alone get the time off needed.
@@Omn1Media Not a requirement. Sorry. I live in Orlando and just assume people know things. Let me know if you make it down and need a tour guide.
@@PourJudgment I had planned to just before everything shut down which ruined all of that! lol
So they made Attack Of The Clones official cannon with this episode.
It was always official cannon
@@MatthewFincham I know. I was joking because most people are like myself and do their best to forget that those films exist.
What were the attackers goal? Shock them dozens of times.. then what? It had little affect.
Little affect, but later we see boba needing bacta after it, and if they were allowed to shock them alot more, that would do damage.
Good show,as usual,your 33 yrs old you look 18
For decades I imagined boba being in the Sarlac for a LONG time, making his survival that much better. This was pretty disappointing 😞.
No one can survive there for decades. Even after just short time there, his skin was already burned and destroyed by acid.
