Current Events > The Book of Boba Fett Episode 6 Topic *SPOILERS*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Out at 3 AM EST

I hope this and next week's last episode are great.

The Mandalorian season 3 episode 2 basically. First part of the episode is like a fan fiction but I don't know any fan who wants to see Luke Skywalker that isn't Mark Hamill. The current Star Wars writers are terrible if they think we want to see old characters instead of new ones.

Luke still has janky mouth.

Boba Fett minus Boba Fett

Holy FUCK Cad Bane

my actual verbal words that came out of my mouth as soon as i saw the hat

I should maybe watch those animated shows to understand why people get excited lol.

So at this point, I'm assuming spice is some kind of drug, right? Because until Cobb tipped the chest over, I genuinely those these were just really aggressive seasoning salesmen.

Oh, and as someone who doesn't know shit about Star Wars, I find it really fucking bizarre that Ahsoka and Luke are both continuing the "no earthly attachments" teachings. I always figured the idea presented in the prequels was that the Jedi were fucked up for doing that and it ultimately led to their downfall because they forbid Anakin from having personal attachments, meaning his mom gets murdered by Tuskens, Padme dies from big sad, and his kids are stillborn. That all ultimately ends up with him joining Palpatine and doing the Order 66 thing. Then the OT even has Luke and Vader win the day because their attachment to each other ultimately ends up defeating the Emperor. But now they're just...doing that again? That's dumb as fuck.

spice is pretty much a kid friendly term for drugs, yeah. there are different kinds.

Grogu is distracted, Luke is trying to get him to focus

I think I was thrown by Critical Role. At one point, an NPC asks them for a spice from his home country. They have trouble finding it and get it into their head that the spice is a type of drug, leading the bard to ask random people, "Do you spice?"

At a certain point, they've tried smoking, eating, drinking, and inserting it anally before someone asks an innkeeper and learn it genuinely is just spice.

The dude was doing fine in the lessons, how does making him choose make him do better? I see no reason why he and Din couldn't have a visit.

I was thinking something similar. Luke is supposed to be starting this new generation of Jedi, and he's just going to repeat the stupid mistakes of the past. This was by far my favorite episode so far, but it ended on a really bad note.

Interesting direction they're going with this. Seems like they got big plans for the post-RotJ era. It's probably better to just consider these shows as one big Star Wars show, with Din kind of being the Tony Stark.

I need to watch this one again because it was just too much lol.

I mean, yeah, he's CGI, but it's still Mark Hamill voicing him.

I now fully believe Luke will meet Anakin's Force ghost in one of the future shows like Ahsoka. Both Mark Hamill and Hayden Christensen seem like they're down for more Star Wars.

Luke is changing things up. Basically, he wants that person isolated during training, and then once that's done, they can go back to their lives. I'm assuming this was also the plan for Ben Solo, otherwise, he would have to fully cut off Han and Leia.

The issue here seems to be specifically because of Grogu. He ages slowly and it's gonna take him much longer to reach completion. That could be a very long time for Din as Luke said.

I still think it's a cruel ultimatum. You can choose your friend who protected you and clearly loves you, but then I won't train you. It's especially cruel to present those options to a child.

to be fair yoda kinda did the same thing to luke LOL

i'm pretty sure Luke knows what Grogu is going to choose, he just wants to give him a way out without telling him to get lost

Another episode of The Book of Boba Fett in which Boba Fett himself plays no role.

Cad Bane was cool but he looked kinda off. I feel his skin needs to be a darker blue.

And how in the hell did Luke get ahold of Yoda's lightsaber when Yoda lost it during his fight with Palpatine in the senate building?

The same way that little bug creature got Luke's. MAGIC!!!

Now that I think about it, there was a canon comic in which Palpatine put on a grand display of throwing all the Jedi lightsabers claimed after Order 66 into an incinerator, INCLUDING Yoda's. So it really should be impossible for Luke to have it.

The Emperor probably got ahold of it and kept it stashed away

At first I almost thought he was white. I don't remember what his teeth looked like on The Clone Wars, but they seemed a bit too big here. Still, it was exciting to see him--as soon as they showed that figure approaching in the distance, I was hoping it was Cad Bane.

The lightsaber stuff was addressed before. In the Disney canon, there's a lightsaber in Yoda's hut on Dagobah. In the Darth Vader comic, it's shown that Mas Amedda destroyed all the lightsabers, specifically throwing in Yoda's last.

So the writer was asked about that and he said that lightsaber was either a fake that Palapatine used to make a point, or the lightsaber on Dagobah was just another Yoda made.

Someone from the story group confirmed that Yoda had many lightsabers.

Yeah lightsabers can be made. I feel people get so attached to the symbolic nature of ownership and passing along sabers that they forget that.

I'm pretty sure I saw him in the back in one scene. >_>

So whats a good summary of Cad Bane for those of us who dont know him?

Also, thought he was being voiced by Peter Weller at first, lol.

I hope if Grogu chooses the saber Luke lets him still wear the armor, because it would be silly not to.

Duros bounty hunter. Looks really cool. Will work for anyone so typically is presented as "the bad guys' freelancer". First appeared in Clone Wars, then in Bad Batch.

Oh and he's met Fennec Shand before.

Interested to read up on Cad Bane.

Hope Cobb Vanth isn't dead, I liked him.

Starting to think Grogu chooses Mando and that's how he ends up surviving (if he does in fact survive), Kylo Ren destroying the Jedi school and all the students.

Sucks this will never be canon

I really wish they would stop bringing in all these old characters though. Damn.

It makes the star wars universe feel so small.

Too much fan service all the time. Give us something new please.

He's probably fine, looks like he only got shot in the shoulder.

That deputy is super fucking dead though. And I love how the other civilians didn't give a shit about him but all rushed to check on Cobb.

Lmao he sure is super dead. Brought him in just to kill him off.

Lol no. The captions make it pretty clear he's still alive, actually.

lol true plus all the new characters we have been getting are great Mando, Grogu, Carl Weathers character, IG-88, Amy Sedaris character, the former imperial farmer guy, etc.

We're talking about the deputy, who got shot like 4 times.

I think ideally the Jedi have to find some healthy balance between having attachments but not letting those attachments drive you toward the dark side. Ahsoka seems to be one of the few who have been able to strike that balance. Probably Obi-Wan as well. Grogu is kind of an unknown factor and he's had a pretty unorthodox childhood up until now. Ahsoka probably just doesn't want to take any risks after both the Jedi Order and Anakin let her down. As for Luke, I'll chock it up to him still being very new to the job. I mean we obviously know because of the sequels that Luke does ultimately fail.

Anyway, cool to see Cad Bane. I saw someone say he reminded them of the Mouth of Sauron and I definitely got that vibe as well.

Lol why did Cad Bane go so hard on that guy?

I love how quickly Boba Fett became a side character in the show named after him

It's a show about how he builds his empire. It's the "book" that describes his deeds and influence. Naturally, that will include the people he surrounds himself with. The conflict is centered around Boba. He's the one the syndicate takes issue with. He's the one Cad Bane is working against. He's the one Din Djarin is going to help without pay.

To be fair it was a set of sequels with bad writing, no cohesive vision, and iirc pettiness by the directors of each film

Meanwhile, The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett are different in name only. They're all about the same characters as one another. Think of it as one series which shifts focus from time to time on who the "main" character is. Far more cohesive, far better written.

Damn they could have at least given Boba Fett one line in the past two episodes lol

No more flashbacks means he's got nothing to do.

Think of it. In like five years when people are going back and binging (and unaware), they'll be like going through all the seasons of Mando not knowing that after two that they HAVE TO break away to go to BoBF or else they miss some key Mando and Grogu moments. Like the marketing was just poorly planned.

Although credit to the show for finally getting an antagonist, with one episode to go.

So the good guys are going to have a lot of Pyke fodder to kill obviously, but Bane's gotta have some too. Not looking too good for the Mods right now.

i'm still hoping Grogu doesn't choose. Or rather, chooses both. Tarre Vizsla was just name dropped last week, after all.

i mean, he did try to kill him. his boss was trying to talk things out, and everyone was looking to walk away. but the hothead had to draw, and it didn't work out.

I'm guessing they'll eventually have a unified section of all these shows' seasons available, maybe even episode to episode, as more and more get released with overlapping timelines.
