Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian

Wow. This episode is so beautiful and any Star Wars fan, yes even the picky ones, will love this episode. From the cinematography to the small little details, I think this episode is actually perfect.

Star Wars at it's finest. Haven't had this much fun watching Star Wars since Mando season 2. The callbacks this episode had were brilliant, especially Fallen Order and those sound effects. Can't wait to see next weeks episode.

It should've been an episode of the Mandalorian. I'm sure it has it's place in the story of this show, but as a standalone this show doesn't work at all any more. And it's really telling that the best episode by a mile is an episode of the Mandalorian instead of Boba Fett.

10 for the episode, but didn't change anything about how I feel about The Book of Boba Fett.

I knew it, Din Djarin needed a new Razor Crest.

But I thought this was the book of Boba Fett?

It's all the same to me, I see the threads of the story. We are given a small teaser about what the next season of the Mandalorian is going to be about. Not going to say what that is. It was mainly something beyond his control, and he can't lie about it. That's not who he is.

We knew that Boba was assembling muscle, and we even knew that he would be calling upon Mando. Boba is simply a different kind of Mandalorian. We get to hear more about what happened to Mandalore, and we get to see it as well.

For the first time ever, there is a Larry Niven style Ringworld in the Star Wars universe. Not a very large one, this one is more like a Halo world. But the imagery was beautiful.

We learn more about the darksaber here too, and Bo-Kaatan. There are Mandalorians and then there are Mandalorians. Mando appears to be a member of a very strict group. It was appropriate to plant this episode here because Mando and Boba are of a kind.

What did it do for the show???

Loved this episode, felt like those involved did too, as a prologue to 'Mandalorian' season 3 you couldn't do better, as almost the last episode of Boba Fett it gave me the impression that I feared all along, no one has 100% faith in the story their telling and should have left the hardest Bounty Hunter in the galaxy to be a guest star and a mystery.

I expect next week will be an absolute blast of an episode. But this episode has shown Boba does need a bit of help from his friends.
