Loved this episode. Had me cracking up everything was done great.
I will say Boba decimating the swoop gang with Slave 1 was a really good scene
I liked how his ship was inside Jabba's palace.
Things are really going to have to heat up in the next episode.
Does anyone think Boba will still be daimyo of Mos Espa at the end?
I might be n the minority, but I like the flashback stories as much as the present day ones. To me it all is a part of the whole.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

I think this episode was definitely more of what people were expecting from the series, and with some much-needed development of Fennec and why she threw her lot in with Boba as well as why Boba even decided to go into the crime lord business to begin with.
I see now they're trying to explain the young mod squad with the one, lone, hip modification parlor on Tatooine.
"I need your help getting Slave- I mean, my Firespray ship."
So I guess we're done with the flashbacks and just skipping over the part where Boba finds Cobb Vanth and finds out who took his armor. Hopefully now that he's fully healed he can get straight to the action instead of leaving it to others.
Boba using his new Rancor to great effect.
I see Black Krrsantan believes the only good Trandoshan is a dead Trandoshan...or a dismembered Trandoshan.
Thinking about it, I imagine that if this show had gone in chronological order, it might seem very disjointed between the past and the present. Not to mention the gap skipping the stuff that happened in "The Mandalorian" would have been odd. Seeing Boba become acclimated to the Sandpeople juxtaposed with seeing him acclimate within another new social situation works as a parallel narrative to me. Seeing him reveal his reason for wanting to be a boss and start his own clan right before the climax rather than before he assumes control makes it more poignant.
I think it was the writers' decision, where they didn't really have a lot of stuff happen in the present day stuff that's less than satisfying. First we think the mayor's the problem, then we think its the Hutts, then it might be the biker gang, but oh - it's the Pykes. There was no real momentum or storyline for the present day crime stuff.
You know, for me this show is more and more vibing the Star Wars Holiday Special. But somehow without being bad. I mean, there was a Boba Fett sequence in that special, right?
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
Yeah, and they had a great reference to the Holiday Special cartoon when the rancor was introduced; the trainer explains how Night Sisters would ride them into battle and Boba's reply was, "I've ridden bigger."
They have the full cartoon on Disney + to watch actually.

Mandalorian also referred to the Holiday special-His first weapon is similar to Boba's in that same special. Pretty sure "life day" is mentioned to.
