  Casting Danny Trejo as a Rancor trainer is genius. I need to see an action scene of Boba riding a Rancor. Black Krrsantan fighting Boba, the young cyborg mod gang, the Gamorean guards and Fennec Shand was brilliant. I'm sure BK will be back to team up with Boba on a mission, just like he did in the comics. Dr Aphra might eventually turn up in one of these Disney+ Star Wars shows too. The Pkye's turning up on Mos Espa is going to be a problem for Boba. The flashback of Boba seeing the repercussions of his actions for going up against the JL speed biker gang, and how they burned down the Tusken Raider village was good. I guess all the flashbacks now will lead up to him seeking revenge for it and then rescuing Fennec Shand after she got shot in The Mandalorian. Back to the young cyborg mod gang, aesthetically they felt a little bit too modern, and not Kurasawa or Leone enough, like most of the characters in the Star Wars galaxy. They should've been a bit more like characters from a western or samurai film. One more thing that I've forgot to mention in my past reviews is Jennifer Beals as Madame Garsa Fwip. Her character is very intriguing and she still looks phenomenally beautiful since she was in Flashdance. That film is so visually iconic that Jennifer Lopez and Fernanda Ferrari have created videos inspired by Flashdance.

  3️⃣days til #VMAS....”I’m Glad” was directed by David LaChapelle. I’d always wanted to work with him so I reached out & said I had this new song & I wanted it to be a dance video. After he heard it, he said we should do “Flashdance” I said “OK...so like inspired by the movie?” pic.twitter.com/qKcMt4l0t4

  Episode four was another great one, after a relatively decent episode three. Giving more screen time to Fennec Shand was much needed. Ming Na Wen plays the role with so much ease, and a viciously devilish grin. Picking up the flashbacks from where Boba finds and rescues Fennec was perfect, and the cameo by Thundercat as the surgeon was another fantastic casting choice following on from Danny Trejo's appearance in episode three. The score during that surgical scene was beautifully funky and galactic. The scene in Jabba's palace, where they retrieve Slave One was a great piece of action, with a couple touches of well placed levity. The attempt at retrieving the armour from the Sarlac pit had slight horror tones, similar to the film Critters. Black Krrsantan's return was another high point, and his fight in Madame Fwip's bar was brilliant at showing his fighting ability and it gave insight into how formidable his reputation is. But my favourite scene was the dinner with the mob bosses on top of the Rancor pit. Hopefully the remaining three episodes will be all set in the present now, and be solely focused on the criminal thriller aspects of the show.

  Haven't seen episode 4 yet, but not sure if anyone else heard about episode 4 big plot hole connected to the first episode as Boba Fett lose his armour to the Jawas after escaping but heard he goes back for it but like other people say he was wearing his armour when got out and he might gone to sleep so he can't remember after he got out which would make sense as he didn't stop them and let them take it. which I think is right. 
  
  Might have not knew who took it but when he woke up he might have noticed it was took off his body so know that who he think's might have eaten it doesn't have hands so it couldn't have taken it so he should know it must have been some one else so doesn't understand why they looked there for his amour.  Sounds like it would have been better if they had less flash back in this episode so they could have fit in a little more present or something else in the past not sure why they revisited the amour bit as people who have seen the mandalorian already know main apart of the story.
  
  Thought I would share what other people thought of it lol.

  Can someone explain how Boba Fett thought that his armor was still in the Sarlacc Pit? How does he think his body got out of the Sarlacc without the armor he was wearing? pic.twitter.com/sf3e20jJbZ

  Hm. Watched Book of #BobaFett Episode 4.
  Why did he search for his armor in the #Sarlacc? He climbed out of it, with his armor. The Jawas stole it. Doesn‘t he remember Episode 1.
  Is this a giant plothole? It‘s the first Episode I couldn‘t just enjoy…#TheBookOfBobaFett

  L. Nicky ? on Twitter: "YO heads up the Boba Fett does NOT have a plot hole it just appears that way Boba was asleep when the Jawas took his armor and before he found out Cobb had it, checked Sarlacc pit-This gave us a glimpse at the pit for one last time, & was cathartic for Fett to kill it #bobafett" / Twitter

  Chapter five was great. Thank you Bryce Dallas Howard for directing it. She's just as good at acting and directing as her father. It was a bit of a weird one though, because despite it being a show about Boba Fett, he didn't appear in this episode at all. It was solely focused on Din Djarin the mandalorian, and his escapades after the conclusion of season two. We first see him collecting a bounty in an abattoir, and unleashing the dark saber in a brutally violent action scene. Once that concludes he meets up with The Armourer, who melts his beskar staff into armour for Grogu. The battle for the dark saber with Paz Visla was amazing, and perfectly concluded with Din being outcast from the group for breaking the creed law of removing his helmet. The levity provided by Amy Sedaris as she offered a new ship was brilliant. I loved the razor crest, but his new ship is beautiful and the scene when he got pulled over by the space feds for speeding was great. Then at the end of the episode Fennec shows up to offer him a job to work for Boba. With only two episodes left it's going to be epic to see Boba and his crew go into battle against the Pykes. Hopefully it'll be similar to the battle at the end of Rouge One, and take place in space and on the ground in Tattooine. I think it'll end on a cliffhanger that might get picked up in season two, or in Mandalorian season three.

  Chapter Six: From the Desert Comes a Stranger
  
  When I saw the silhouette of the stranger coming from the desert, I started punching the air like Jurgen Klopp in front of The Kop after beating Barcelona four-nil. CAD. MOTHER. FUCKING. BANE.
  
  This series is incredible, and it's expanded the Star Wars storyline from the prequels, clone wars, rebels, novels, comics and original trilogy beautifully. In an episode that featured Luke, R2, Grogu, Ahsoka, Din and Cobb - Cad's entrance stole it, like a last minute Origi winner versus Everton in a Merseyside Derby.
  
  When Stars leans into it's samurai western in space roots, is when it's at it's best. The showdown between Cobb and Cad was pure Leone, and reminiscent of Eastwood versus Van Cleef.
  
  Seeing Luke train Grogu was perfect, and choosing between becoming a padawan or a foundling is an interesting storyline. It would be nice if Luke can give Din some advice on using the darksaber.
  
  Special mention to the CGI team from their work on de-aging Mark Hamill. It was seemless, and the technology has progressed so much since Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy. The uncanny valley keeps getting smaller and smaller.
  
  The final episode will be an epic hour of action with Rodriguez in the director's chair orchestrating the turf war between Boba, Din, Fennec, Krrsantan, the Mods, Danny Trejo, a Rancor and the Gamorean guards versus the Pykes and Cad Bane. I wouldn't be surprised if the Hutt twins, the Mayor and the other rival gangs pop back up to throw a spanner in the works, and create a Mexican Stand-off. Also I hope Garsa Fwip isn't dead, her character was mysteriously interesting and seemed to weld a lot more power than we've seen so far.
  
  I hope they'll be a season two, and it's only made me more excited for season three of The Mandalorian. I love his new ship, and how when we see him inside his cockpit, it looks like he's dual wielding a pair of desert eagle's like he's in a John Woo film. The sound and design of his modified starfighter is like a space sprinkle of Fast & Furious. This period of time between Episodes six and seven is ripe for so many cool stories about the fall of the Empire and the rise of the New Republic.

  Chapter seven - In the name of Honor
  
  I really enjoyed this finale and the series as a whole. Filoni, Favereau and Rodriguez perfectly expanded the galaxy. It was a great segue way into The Mandalorian season three. The standoffs between Cad and Boba were brilliant. Seeing Boba ride a Rancor was epic. Grogu linking back up with Din was emotional. The action scenes felt reminiscent of Rodriguez's work on the Mariachi trilogy. I hope we'll see more of Boba, Fennec, Krrsantan, Cobb, Cad, the Mods etc in future Star Wars TV shows. But I doubt it'll be in the the next Star Wars TV show Obi-Wan with Ewan McGregor, because that will take place before Episode IV: A New Hope, and this is set after Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. So maybe they'll be in the Ahsoka TV show with Rosario Dawson.
