    So only a 7 episode season? Just as it was getting good.

    agreed. 7 episodes is a bit of a disappointment

    Considering 2 episodes were backdoor The Mandorlorian episodes, that would be only 5 episodes about Boba Fett.

    I enjoyed the finale for the most part. I'll tune in for another season if they make one.

    Everything involving the power ranger vespa squad is physically hard for me to watch, I mean just awful.

    No need for another season as far as I'm concerned, he can just serve to guest star in other series. The only parts of this series that actually carried my interest were Mando,Grogu,Cad Bane and Cobb Vanth, in other words everything except Boba Fett.

    Seriously, if you remove the Mandolorian parts from the series, it was pretty damn bad overall. I think the showrunners realized as they were in production that this wasn't going well so they had to call in charisma and cameos.

    I think it's stupid that they didn't even do a single official Mandalorian episode before walking back the end of season 2.

    My thing here is they made the same mistake with Bane they made with Boba, killing him off before he had a chance to take the Star Wars fans by storm. But overall, I liked the series. They gave us at least 4 very good episodes.

    Great final episode. I think it was a one and done Boba Fett series.

    What's the significance of the post credits scene?

    Liked the Mando stuff. Didn't really get what they were trying to achieve with Boba Fett though. Unless they're trying to reboot the new sequels through TV, which would be cool.

    Now on to Obi-Wan

    I enjoyed the finale, very action packed. Tend to agree on the vespa rangers, it really felt like Robert Rodriguez wanted to use some leftover characters from Alita Battle Angel.

    Overall I enjoyed it more than most on here but I'm perfectly fine with this being a one off series.....

    I'll give this show a 7/10. It was fun and had good emotional points. All of the guest stars like Cad Bane, Grego and Mando were the highlight, obviously. I'm glad they pulled it all together.

    I think Robert Rodriguez was the wrong person to direct. The action was slow and hackneyed at times and the funtime teen and yokel friend gangs were shoehorned in. If you've seen his spy kids movies the action is very similar- sort of clunky and dated.

    I never understood why it was just Boba, Fennec and two pig men for the entire palace after Boba took over. Boba said they had plenty of money, and he definitely had rep. You'd think his gang would be bigger even if diminished at the beginning of the show.

    My wife said this was her favorite Star Wars, ever. She just loved it.

    If they make a season two I will definitely watch, but I think it's better left alone for now. I'd love to see these guys in different shows, though.

    I think what they're doing here with Star Wars is taking an entire chapter from the Marvel Cinematic Universe page by establishing 'heroes' in SW and spreading them out over their shows and movies. That way people buy in to and start to develop attachments with the individual characters. It's smart, especially after they hosed up the franchise with episodes 8 & 9. I mean, I was super hyped when Mando showed up. It's the stuff dork dreams are made of.

    I enjoyed the final episode - thought it was the best of the whole series. I am a little ambivalent about this show coming back for a 2nd season. There's a part of me that feels that they really can't improve on what took place and yet there's another part of me that is curious on what the 2nd season would look like (assuming they do it). I would just hope that if they do commit to doing a 2nd season that they don't mess it up and make it too cheesy, etc.
