People on this forum bitch about everything
Episode was fine. First half setups the situation in the present, then they do flashback. I think storywise the flashback will play a big role

I bet Bib Fortuna is behind the spice smugglers and this Tuskan tribe gets wiped out and decimated badly. Makes Fortuna getting gunned down an act of revenge. I think they will play a role in the Hutt problem introduced

that sounds plausible, but nobody gives a shit about tusken raiders. nobody ever gave a shit about them. if thats their big twist reveal that would be the most underwhelming reveal ever. this show does have high production value and it does look interesting whats going on with the Hutts. people are interested in them. but we only got a few minutes of it. the Tusken stuff is blue balls. i rather see what the yellow twilek was up to.

Besides the Tuskens, why don't more people have good things to say about it? What's the problem exactly besides episode length and Boba Fett being beaten in Episode 1.
Is this a subversion of the Boba Fett character or not? That should be obvious by Episode 2 whether that is the intention.

it just seems like pointless filler. i guess its a subversion if we expected a TV show about Boba Fett kicking all kinds of ass to him playing Dances with Wolves: Tusken edition . the third episode seems like its gonna make or break this show. they wasted 2 episodes earning the Tuskens trust and they introduced the main antagonists, the Hutts. so next week we see where they take this. if its mostly tusken stuff then thats bad. if its finally going somewhere with the Hutts then alright then lets see what happens.
they need more of this guy

The Tuskan buildup will play a role 100%. They’ll probably end up being a solution to the Hutt problem in the present. I also suspect the buildup will have an emotional payoff of sorts - I suspect his adoptive tribe gets wiped out at some point. It also helps explain why he saved Fennic, since he was also saved from death out on the sands.
In fact, I bet this plot point is key. Boba saved, shows loyalty. Fennic saved, shows loyalty. Gamoran guards saved, shows loyalty.
I bet the Hutts misstep is they don’t do this very thing and maybe that gnarly Wookie ends up showing loyalty to Boba. Gets back to the rule with respect vs fear.

I don't know why you would sit on the fence on this. If you like Mandalorian, this is more of the same. If you don't then, not sure why you'd waste time in the thread in the first place.
The biggest problem I see with the show is it might as well be Mandalorian. It hasn't really differentiated itself at all yet.
Its fine though. First two episodes have been like 6 or 7 out of 10.

Tuskan raiders are a staple of star wars, but they are in this weird place of being both backwater nobodies and fearless warriors. I'm not necessarily opposed to that being cleared up, but star wars has an awful habit of introducing a threatening opposing force only to give them awful aim and no peripheral vision.
Like the characters are terrified of storm troopers but NONE of the audience is. It's the same with tusken raiders. I'm sure it makes perfect sense on the creative side to show the raiders as a challenge, but the audience is just wondering why boba has been nerfed so hard

seeing new Hutts on live action was pretty fucking rad. A Wookie Gladiator? Holy Jesus fuck thats insane. And he does nothing. And then 40 mins of Dances With Wolves Tuskens or Avatar 2 : Sand People Are Noble Savages
i don't hate it, but its still very meh so far. Still, 12 year old me would be jizzing loads everywhere seeing Mos Espa and Hutt crime lords and Boba Fett, but older me is pretty jaded at "why the fuck is there a goddamn air train to transport 1 box of spice and a few guns?" Oh right, they just really wanted to do a western heist. Which I do like, but it all feels very fan servicy and kinda pointless.
I do really like the actors behind Boba and his hench lady, they are great. Also love the aliens, that snail Mayor dude was pretty neat. This isn't really the Boba Fett I ever imagined, but I'm willing to see where they go. I don't think its gonna end up being that good sadly.

I just want them to get to the meat of the story and stop giving back story. Series isnt going to be that long and them wasting 2 episodes on back story is just not ideal. Shows probably getting a pass on a lot of stuff for being Star Wars done by Jon Favreau but I'm fine with that.

When I heard they were using the same boba/clone actor from the prequals, for some reason I thought it was a good idea... But if disney couldn't even get the old fucker on the hollywood roid program, then I assume the rest of the show is low effort also.
he's just too out of shape to be remotely.. respectable? intimidating? interesting? believable? something
