Summary
Boba Fett, played by Temuera Morrison, faces challenges to his rule and plans a Tusken Raiders upgrade.
So this episode was better than episode one in that it felt properly paced and had stakes, two very basic asks I known. However, that is not to say it was a strong episode rather that it advanced the show in an uphill direction, hopefully next week can continue this.
I enjoyed Fett’s tense standoff with the Hutt Twins, I thought it was nice to see the coming conflict and the whole scene felt suitably tense, they did a good job with the effects as well here which was nice. However, I would say that the present timeline could have done with a little more, because from here the rest of the episode continues on with the Tusken flashbacks, which are fine but maybe starting to run out of steam at this point.
I also liked the feel of this episode as it felt more grimy and underworld esque, which is how the show should always have been. I still feel like Boba is pulling his punches and the lack of blood is still dampening the action sequences for me though, this needs to change in the next episode.
Overall, better but still not what you would want from a show about the Star Wars criminal underworld.
Pros.
The Hutt standoff
A nice pace
A sense of coming conflict
Cons.
The Tusken flashbacks are getting a bit much
It still feels too family friendly
