Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine

What a great episode!

Its long enough to enjoy , minimum dialogue with maximum storytelling.

Chapter 2 of Book of Boba Fett was a visual treat .The aesthetics and the music were perfect and the best part was 51 minutes of time ! I know , its an old ace up the sleeves but if you are convincing enough you can persuade even those who are here for the old times sake. Steph green , is she?

Fans , make sure she gets to do more episodes in star wars universe. M thankful , finally another gem of a director who understands star wars & not convinces others' to understand her ideology .

If you excuse my geekiness , Star wars shouldn't be polished . It needs to be rugged or soft based on a specific character via series in here for the only one protagonist. Ne need for cantina remix music or fast forwarding through every scene. Just play it long enough with music and build the tension. Great episode than last weeks episodes . Canon fans & clone wars fans , this one's for you. For us .

The last dance sequence was beautiful. It was a traditional ceremony for Tuskens managing to earn respect on their respective lands & Boba embracing his human side. Dig every moment of it.

Whilst I wasn't head over heels in love with the first episode of "The Book of Boba Fett", based on some of the professional reviews I read, you'd think it was an unmitigated disaster, rather than just it had one scene that was a bit dodgy. This second episode is unmistakably better though.

Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) is now learning the ways of the tribe of Tusken Raiders, having earned their respect downing the multiarmed creature. His weapon lessons are interrupted by the arrival of a high-speed transport, burning through the desert that attacks the tribe as they rocket by, killing some. Fett arrives at a plan to halt this regular assault. Years later, in Mos Espa, Fett and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) learn that they are not the only party trying to fill the power vacuum in the city's underworld.

Like "The Mandalorian", this episode of "Boba Fett" improved by leaning into the Western tropes that the show utilises. This time it's a train heist, with speeder bikes replacing horses and blasters instead of bows and arrows. The result is still the same though, a high-speed and dangerous takedown that further bonds Fett with his former capturers. There's no action scene in the present day half of the show this time, but the story moves on dramatically as we learn that the mayor himself may not be a direct threat to Fett, but he's emboldened with the knowledge that the Hutt twins lay claim to the town, and bring with them the first live action version of Black Krrsantan, a Wookie warrior in their employ.

If I was to nit-pick, I'd say that perhaps the spice was enough to send Boba into his vision quest and the lizard up this nose was a touch goofier than it needed to be. I didn't bump up against the dance at the end as others have, maybe because I assumed it was more like a Haka than a square dance. It seems interesting that nobody as Mos Espa is thinking, "perhaps we don't need a crime lord at all" but maybe that will play back into the story later on.

Better.

This episode was full of emotion and character, we get to learn more about the tusken raiders. The action/chase sequence was amazing kinda reminded me of the action sequence in chapter 15 The believer of the mandalorian. The final dance/cultural ritual of the tusken tribe was great.

My vote is 9.

I have Spoken.

Boba Fett meets a challenger to his territory and further reflects on his time with the Tuskens.

This is a slightly better episode than the previous entry as it has decent central action sequence and some interesting backstory for the title character.

I do like the concept of Boba Fett being with the Tuskens following his Sarlacc pit experience and this episode provides more interesting material than previous.

Everything builds towards a big action sequence which does not disappoint. This episode succeeds in portraying the Tuskens (or at least one of them) as quite cool warriors.

I think it will mainly appeal to Star Wars fans who like to see the universe, cultures and characters explored in more depth. In fact the fan service is wonderful, particularly the scene on Tosche Station with Camie and Fixer from the deleted scene of the original Star Wars movie.

The visuals are excellent as you would expect from Disney and make great use of the landscapes once more.

Temuera Morrison is a solid lead, but again outside of looking tough, there hasn't been much acting to do.

For me this is a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.

This show has action scenes that could be straight out of freakin Skyfall... A SHOW! How expensive was this Episode to make?! I want more like this...
