That article reads like it was written by someone who was LOOKING to have a problem with the process.  This didn't come to mind for me at all when I watched the episode.  Frankly, I was stunned by how much more easily I bought into this episode than the scene in Chapter 16 of The Mandalorian.

Still trying to wrap my head around how tomorrow's episode can be a satisfying conclusion to TBOBF Season 1.

Like, can they have a whole crime war with the Pyke Syndicate in one episode?  Can they really do something big enough to chase the Pykes off Tatooine in one episode?  Is BF gonna lose or have to surrender to the Pykes just so that him and Fennec are then free to join Din/Grogu for TM Season 3?  Is he gonna ride that Rancor? 

How do they bring the focus back to Boba Fett being the "hero" of his own show when everyone is just craving more Mando/Grogu/Luke at this point?

Exactly.  Unless it's a 2-hour or more finale I can't see it.

Looking through a big block of SW.com database entry updates from TBOBF and... they named it Tatooine Sand Ape?  Really?

The Kraken was taken by a different intellectual property.

DAMNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't say much about the finale until everyone has had a chance to watch it.  Suffice to say that I enjoyed it and is has a satisfying ending....definite possibilities for a season 2.

[Chris M]

That was fun.  Lots of possibilities and directions it can go now.

[P-Siddy]

Agree with what everyone said.  Still, it feels the show could have used a couple more episodes to fill out certain aspects of the finale... or even just a few spoken lines could do it at the very least.

I really enjoyed the finale! Sure there weren't any real jaw dropping surprises like in the Mando season 2 finale, but it was just a fun end to this limited series.

[JediJman]

Fun episode.  The whole series seemed choppy to me including the finale, but lots of good action in this one.  I don't know why they called it the Book of Boba Fett though - this could easily just have been Mandalorian Season 3.

Anyone else get very excited to see the knee rockets finally get used?

Boba Fett used the knee rockets on Tython...didn't he?

I don't remember that, but I could watch knee rockets and jetpack scenes all. day. long.

I mostly enjoyed the episode, and the back half of the series as Mando Season 2.5, but as a series it was kind of a mess.  The Boba Fett stuff seemed unnecessary and mostly uninteresting, as did a lot of the Tatooine mob/crime family stuff.

I kind of like the homage to King Kong with The Rancor, but didn’t really like that the Rancor seemed mostly indestructible.   Star Wars is not Marvel so things should die when they get shot repeatedly by big cannons. 

I also didn’t like that Black Krrstan was immortal too.  Chewie was wounded and hurting after one blaster shot but Krrstan can get axed and repeatedly shot and only have a slight limp.

I enjoyed it because it was Star Wars and Mando and Grogu are always fun, although I’m not sure what they might even be setting up with Boba and Fennec running Mos Espa as far as the broader story line goes.

I really, really hope the Kenobi series as a much more coherent story line.

That was my thoughts on Krrsantan, too.  The guy's getting hammered by lasers and stabbed repeatedly (and weren't the Trandoshians biting him when they brought him down?  No idea since we don't see how he escapes) and looks like he's near death when he is saved.  And then when they retreat from the Scorpenek droids he was at a full sprint.  Perhaps his fight or flight instinct took over up at the sight of the droids and they just seemed like a flesh wound at the time.

Then Fett just ups and leaves everyone at Mos Espa to get the Rancor from the palace and then come back.  That had to take a while, I'm sure they make it seems like a scene or so.  And he's able to ride it without much issue with no apparent (or mentioned) training besides saying to the keeper, "I'm going to ride that Rancor."  And the Rancor's weakness is fire and just ups and leaves his master?
