[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

@@mikeschmidt4624 Right? The whole show feels like it should be about Boba drifting away from his former ruthless persona. Use Cad Bane (introduced earlier, like episode 2 or 3) as an antagonist to contrast Boba "becoming soft" aka having empathy and respect. Then I stead of just pausing the show for a Mandalorian preview, introduce Bossk to fill Mandos role. Bossk has had a major part in Bobas life and further helps the whole theme of Boba becoming something greater than a gun for hire. A lot of this show just feels wasted and it's a shame.

They hired a KZbinr who made a video fixing cgi Luke from the season 2 finale which is why the deepfake looks seamless, not uncanny valley but actually perfect as though mark hamill was doing it. I think he also helped with cgi Grogu. Cad bane was also well adapted, liked that they kept the voice, sold it for me.

[@Capelett]

Cad Bane was so terrifying in this. After Bad Batch, he's kind of solidified as a 'rule-breaker' when it comes to star wars. You wouldn't expect anyone to force Anakin to open a holocron, or to shoot Hunter to near-death out of no where, but he always gets away with it. The second he appeared, I knew Cobb was fucked.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Pretty much every reactor who has watched CW has said THAT exact thing

[@joshuafoy9355]

What’s funny is I’m pretty sure Cob could’ve taken out Cad, or at least make it a mutual kill where they both drop, but he was visibly distracted by his deputy. For all that Bane is badass he isn’t Force-Sensitive and he’s really old whereas Vanth is younger. He could’ve outdrawn him, IMO. Still loved it, and I’m just glad Cob survived😂

[@StopReadingMyNameOrElse]

@@joshuafoy9355 I think that's why Bane showed him "honor" by only shooting once in the shoulder, likely on purpose. The Deputy interupted their talk and it visibly made Cad annoyed, hence the excessive blasting as well.

[@rxdntpto]

Yep! I hope to god though that Cobb is still alive, and I think he is because the shot appeared to just graze or hit his shoulder. Finger crossed

[@joshuafoy9355]

@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse yeah I’m guessing since Cad was sent by the Pykes to negotiate for Freetown to stay out of the war, they likely told Cad to keep things clean essentially cos Freetown losing their sheriff would make them go to war anyways, more likely than not. Cob dying is a declaration of war, but injuring him is a warning to stay outta the Pyke’s business. He even tells Freetown to let the spice run through Tatooine and that they’ll be safe if they do so. Course, the deputy pissed him off and that cost him his life. Considering this is the guy who fought Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano and many others and coming out on top, not just surviving, means he is not someone to be taken lightly. God forbid Ahsoka learns Cad Bane is still kicking around as a Bounty Hunter after all these years. I can honestly see her settling things personally and as she is right now, probably the strongest and most experienced Jedi around with Ezra and Luke coming in second, he wouldn’t stand a chance.

I believe Luke is testing Grogu. Just like how Yoda and Obi-wan tested Luke by making him choose between saving his friends or continuing his training with Yoda. We all know who Luke chose and when he came back, Yoda called him a Jedi. Luke also mentions to Ahsoka that Grogu is remembering his training more than him actually teaching Grogu.

Ashoka seems a lot happier now knowing her masters Fate and that his Offspring Luke inherits his best qualities. It was great to finally see the two interact with each other. Luke CGI was also top notch, still uncanny at certain points but generally a lot better than the Mandalorian S2 Version. I was surprised at first how little Time was spent with boba, but then again it is called “Book” of Boba Fett, and like any book some chapters wouldn’t be focused on the protagonist but other characters instead. Seeing Cobb Vanth was great with the start establishing his skill as a gunslinger, but once Cad Bane came in he was a dead man. Speaking of Cad Bane his implementation into live action was perfect, the voice is intimidating and his design is unsettling and puts us right in Cobb’s shoes with the fear he felt in his presence. Overall great episode and I look forward to the finale next week with perhaps a final duel between Boba and Cad Bane.

[@michaeldeboer]

If they'd had Luke do it, he'd be the bad guy. Having Ahsoka do it, who already rejected teaching Grogu before, there is an element of wisdom but also a grey area of necessary evil, and it continues the thread she started by pointing out the emotional attachment between the two and the danger it poses. Having her remind Luke leads him to give Grogu the choice. This way it's not Luke forcing Grogu to choose him, but Luke acting om Ahsoka's advice, which is rooted in her experience with Anakin and the Jedi council. It gives it more weight, and keeps Luke innocent.
