The Book of Boba Fett (SPOILERS possible)

[P-Siddy]

I know they've done a lot of fan service in this show, but I hope we don't see R5-D4 split apart and have a missile inside him.

I'm just hoping EV-9D9 is okay.

LOL!  But if it does happen, are you hoping for the straight pin or latch hook version?

She should.  I thought she got a new job at the cantina in Mandalorian.

I'm sorry, but that would be amazing!

Well, there is the hokey story that R5-D4 can use the force. Maybe he joins Boba to mess up the pikes.

Was it ever confirmed if the R5 unit that Peli Motto had on Mos Eisley in The Mandalorian was the same R5-D4 from ANH/Skippy?

Pretty sure they confirmed it in one of the behind the scenes episodes. He's still got the scorch marks where his motivator blew and everything.

Thought the latest episode was just okay, although it was eons better than the first 3 episodes.

The best part was Boba going bezerk on that biker gang when he got Slave I back. THAT'S the Boba I've wanted from this show the whole time! Cold, calculating, and showing no remorse. (And personally, Slave I is so ingrained into my head that I'll keep calling it that... sucks that the majority of the show's criticisms will now be focused on the name change).

[Qui-Gon Jim]

Latest episode was my favorite, but I've been generally pleased with the series so far.

That seismic mine sound effect NEVER gets old.

While they have not officially changed the name of the ship, they are conspicuously NOT calling it Slave-1.  They're in a tough spot here.  Best solution would be for him to rename it in honor of a fallen comrade or something.

Boba Fett: "I need your help to get the Slave One from Jabba's Palace"

Fennec Shand: "The what?"

Boba Fett: "Slave One is my Firespray Gunship, it was once my father's and it's been mine for over 20 years."

Fennec Shand: "Good...now I know what to look for."

I was really pleased to learn that Bryce Dallas Howard directed episode 5 of The Book of Boba Fett.  She really stepped up her directing game in the couple of episodes of The Mandalorian that she took on. 

[Jeff]

I guess the fact that today's episode was my favorite one yet says a lot about how I feel about the overall plot of TBOBF so far.

[Diddly]

Yeah, it definitely hammered home the point that BoBF is filler until Mando Season 3. I'll have a few thoughts once more people see it, but I enjoyed the episode essentially being a love letter to Phantom Menace.

It feels like they blew 99% of the BoBF budget on this episode alone.

[Matt_Fury]

Good episode, even though it didn't really advance the main plot.
