    Thought the second episode was a lot better than the first like many here. I still enjoyed the first episode mostly because I love a ton of stuff Star Wars.

    I've enjoyed the first two episodes so far and hope its building into something as good as The Mandalorian.

    That chase was way too long... And the kids on the speeder things just didn't look right.

    Episode 3 immediate reactions; from someone who is a Star Wars fan and has collected extended universe novels, toys, and whatnot since childhood, indifferent to the prequels, did not like the new trilogy, enjoyed Rogue One, enjoyed the Clone Wars series (well most of it) and loved the Mandalorian...

    holy crap, the dialogue and characters on this 3rd episode of Book of Boba are appallingly horrible

    even the little steampunk speeder bikes look like something out of another universe

    the exposition of the opening scenes is just so corny and awful

    there's a campiness to it that doesn't belong around Boba Fett.... not even a campiness... it's just amateur

    the dialogue is incredibly amateur, the pacing, the body language

    it's almost jarring when it flashes back to the Tusken scenes, because boring as they are they are 100x more meaningful and immersive

    these 'gang' characters remind me of something out of like Hook or SpyKids or something.

    Oh god, the animation on the chase scene. and the whole chase scene itself. And Danny Trejo telling us Rancors are emotional.

    IF this series ends up being good, I have a feeling I'll be skipping this one on re-plays.

    this is one of the biggest franchises in history. where do they find these writers/directors? there are semi-pro scifi novels with 10x better dialogue and character depth.

    these scenes just jump around man. it's so much useless stuff happening and the audience has no reason to care.

    I think I just watched a future Mystery Science Theater candidate.

    Well, Robert Rodriguez is working on the show. Seems like he was trying to do some sort of American Graffiti tribute.

    I want to see Jennifer Beals get freaky.

    The cyberpunk gang was terrible and looks completely out of place. Colorful vespas on tattooine? Worst episode out of the 3.

    Only one thing saved that episode.

    black Chewbacca fight

    I'm never one to pick apart StarWars stuff because its all kinda campy and the dialog has always been bad.... but the vespa gang was up there with Jar Jar and not in a good way. At least they came to Boba's aid when he was attacked by the dark wookie. That fight was the best part of the series so far.

    I was telling you guys to be careful what you wish for... Star Wars loves to ruin your favorite characters.

    Should have just kept this show and brought us more Mando

    This is exactly how I feel. I don’t feel like they are doing Boba Fett justice at all. The writing (his in particular) just isn’t great. Of course I will continue watching but I’m a little disappointed. Hopefully it turns around. Man the potential was/is there, they just aren’t pulling it off.

    I just couldn't get over the grown man diapers he is wearing while fighting Chewbacca, he already looks old, he doesn't need to look like he can't control his bowel movements too. I just kept picturing him doing wet farts while getting his ass beat yet once again.

    Good thing he had teenagers magically transport from Shadowrun with their cute little bikes to help him defeat the coolest character in the show, black Chewbacca.

    This was as close to a power rangers episode as it gets. Terrible. They wussified the wookie, and they put a rainbow biker gang into the desert. Seriously. someone at some point should have the courage to say "No. This will not get to air." The sad sand people storyline was decent, but even it was a hail mary back to Luke. They have a lot of recovery to do in the next episode. Liked the space port though.

    Glad I'm not the only one who saw the millennial dayglo scooter mafia and said "WTF is this?"
