The Book of Boba Fett (Disney +}

Episode 5 was by far the best episode of the series...BUT! (Allow me to rant a little)

I just DO NOT like Amy Sedaris' character (the mechanic/junk dealer on Tattooine) that Mando interacts with! Her character is annoying and feels so out of place in the Star Wars universe to me! Her modern mid-American vernacular/accent sticks out like a sore thumb. She talks like a housewife from Wisconsin or Ohio. Plus I think they have way too many English/American speaking characters in general. It's a huge galaxy! Put in more alien characters with subtitles. Jennifer Biel's twi'lek character, the one who runs the bar/casino, again with that mid-western American accent. Why?? Make her talk...twilekian or whatever their language is LOL or at least try to speak with some sort of unique accent.

Also, another pet peeve of mine that I'm starting to notice with this show (and I noticed it some with The Mandolorian) is I feel like the creators are getting kind of lazy with including items from our world in the SW universe without the slightest effort to modify or change them to make them unique to the SW universe. The aliens in the meat packing plant are wearing what looks to me like standard, off the rack overalls. They might as well have had OshKosh B'gosh stitched on them. Welding helmets looked like ones I'd see at a local chop shop. Come on Disney! At least change up the visor or something. The meat packing location in of itself looked way too familiar too IMO. I half expected Sylvester Stallone to show up and start punching a side of beef! Long strips of clear plastic in the doorways just like the ones here? It's a high tech universe! Why not use some kind of force field? I just think they're starting to draw way too many parallels with our own world in the series and not going far enough to make them seem unique to theirs. You can absolutely have things on the show that say "this makes sense in this galaxy too" without lazily copying our own.

Liking the show so far. Fence Shand (spelling?) Is a highlight and damn she looks great for being almost 60! Loved Mando being episode 5 but it also made me realize how much more I like The Mandalorian. Cooler character and much better story.

I sort of agree, but the whole "everyone speaks English" has been pretty much a sci-fi trope for years. And I sort of thought the same thing about the butcher shop but then again.....I'm not sure how much different it would actually be. I think stuff like that you just have to kind of turn your brain off. Like thinking in the original, the Death Star had plumbers and janitors but if we had a scene showing some dude mopping the hallway Obi-Wan was sneaking down it kind of takes you out of the moment. But at the same time if that Death Star did exist.....somebody has to clean the floor.

That was a great episode of The Mandalorian.

Haha yeah!

Really did feel more like the first episode of Mando S3. I can’t really imagine many people watching this show skipped Mando but if you did you would be very lost. It picked up on all the loose ends of that show and didn’t address this one at all until the final minute.

I thought that was the most boring episode. Cool that they rebuilt a fighter but I could've done without 95% of that.

I can't stand the religious aspect to Mandolorians. Mando has the killing blow ready for homeboy and then randomly she poses the question "have you taken your helmet off?" What is that? Is this how all duels end? WTF. They can just do anything with the religion and it doesn't have to make sense (to us) because it's a religion that we don't know anything about.

More needs to be explained about why this sect doesn’t remove their helmet. It’s clearly not the thing for all Mandalorians. He has to be questioning that himself.

I did hear a funny comment about him saying weapons are part of his religion to the public transport droid. How many Americans are going to start trying to use that line at airports 🤣🤣

Dude was implying Mando had no honor. Her question and his answer confirmed that he did. Matter of honor settled in a war centric culture, no need to fight each other anymore.

You accept plenty of unknown religion-esque stuff in Stsr Wars already. Jedi and Sith. Heck the Jedi were two generations deep of being pretty much single practitioners and we expect the culture to stay intact.

So ask him before the fight.

How did she know he would answer yes and that it would settle things?

I get the people critizicing all the American English accents. Characters are great. Gotta give us some detail to all that creativity. Western gunslinger shouldve spoken something other than that.
