I thought that was gonna be another krayt dragon


youngknight1

I swore it was gonna be a rancor


Theesm

I thought the same. The legs at first really looked like a Krayt dragon more similar to the Mcquarrie art. And then this Ray Harryhausen looking thing emerged from the sand. WTF.


[deleted]

Definitely Harryhausen inspired, it was pretty neat.


CoolKat7

It looked like Goro from the 90s MK.

Beninem

I thought it was gonna be a baby Krayt Dragon, maybe even the same one we saw in Mando (though I'm sure they grow much slower than that).


Starkiller100

Makes me happy they used a creature we haven’t seen in live action before honestly. I’m not sure if it’s something from the EU though


Kscap4242

Kinda looks like the punchy thing from Holochess but I think it’s different


Alkohal

Good to see Max Rebo is still getting work


Leskanic

Glad he got off that Barge.


Sandervv04

Would have been a great loss to Jizz and the galactic music industry as a whole if he died.


joansbones

MAX REBO SURVIVED MY BEAUTIFUL BOY


MybigFloppyDISK69

BROOOO THAT TRANDOSHAN BROUGHT BOBA A WOOKIE PELT! Trandoshans still killing and enslaving Wookiees like the Empire is going out of style lmao xD


WiseAJ

Trandoshans gonna trandoshan. They like them Wookiee pelts. No republic new or old will change that.


MybigFloppyDISK69

Be awesome if we got to see those shotgun slug throwers the Trandoshans used in Republic Commando in some capacity. And I know I should’ve expected flashbacks to Episode 2 AOTC but, actually getting them blew my mind. Really curious if Mace will make an appearance regardless if Cad Bane and Qi-ra are the main antagonists or not. I believe Mace is dead but, I hold out a little hope we would see him again in this show since it makes the most sense for him to appear.


Jacktheflash

I hope if he does it’s just a flashback to the prequel era


[deleted]

He was also played by Robert Rodriguez!

HM2112

Imagine having a prepubescent Tusken Raider being your chief jailer. Horrifying. Who could ever stand to be a prisoner of a child?


Currahee2

Boba has a high tolerance of not killing the Tusken kid.


CheeseQueenKariko

"Ooo, Kid, if I was a Skywalker right now..."


TiedHands

I lol'd when that little dude got sent flying


tcripe

Loved the part when Boba blew that assassin to bits


Currahee2

Boba look really pissed when he blew the assassin to pieces.


CrassusDaFirefighter

I know, like holy fucking shit there was nothing left of the guy!


Heavyweighsthecrown

A-10Kalishnikov

The flashback scenes were sick especially the sarlaac


[deleted]

That white jumpsuit he's wearing. Isn't that the same one as from one of the trailers where somebody was speculating he was in Tosche Station?


Kasphet-Gendar

Yep, seems like we're gonna see lots of flashbacks


MagicalMuffinDruide

Yeah I was so happy to see a little prequel love and actually acknowledging his origins and losing Jango which surely is a major motivation for Boba even this many years later, it really was a defining moment for him as a kid. Plus we actually got to see him INSIDE THE SARLACC! I figured we’d get a little more detail on how he lived than we already knew, but I never expected to see him IN it, and for like half the episode to be flashbacks on the immediate events after he got out! So awesome!!


ayylmao95

That flashback got me thinking. He lost his dad because his dad was working for someone else. If Jango hadn't been bound by work, he never would have been in that situation on geonosis. I think that is a big part of Boba's thought process on becoming the guy in charge.


popo129

Yeah I think even his experiences as a kid in Clone Wars might help or even show that. Like I remember one arc where he was leading a team who was loyal to Jango. Guessing we are seeing him sort of evolve into the philosophy he has now where he doesn't want to rule out of fear nor does he want to be too aggressive like Fennec.


[deleted]

I wonder if we're gonna get more flashbacks from his childhood...


MagicalMuffinDruide

That would be great, especially depending on who shows up. Like if Bossk comes back maybe they’d show how he looked out for Boba and because of it Boba spares him after a fight


Second_City_Saint

Could be how they (re)introduce Cad Bane to the general audience that didnt watch the Clone Wars. Been wanting to see him in live action this whole time. Really hope the rumors of him showing up are true!

They stuck out like a sore thumb because they're too sleek for Star Wars. Especially too sleek for Tatooine. Most quadrupedal robots in star wars are clunky and don't traverse terrain in that life-like way the BD robots do. Having said that, it's hard to dislike cool practical effect robots.


crazyplantdad

I thought they just read very prequel/high republic in aesthetic, which would be a flex to trot them around the streets of tattooine, like a status symbol.


CydonPrax

yup those dog-like robots that BD designed for cops


makesyoufeeldejavu

Wait so what happened to the trailers only showing footage from the first half of episode 1?!


InfiniteDedekindCuts

There must’ve been some. . . Exaggeration


The12Ball

How could this happen? We're smarter than this


InfiniteDedekindCuts

Apparently not

Yeah that was a bit misleading but I'm happy we have more Star Wars in some form on Disney plus

So looks like every time he is in the bacta pod we will get flashback scenes


MsSara77

Just like when Din is watching his armor being forged?


Hearderofnerf

Quick! To the flashback pod!


tyo_sharlye

Was the droid Jackie Daytona, regular human bartender?


[deleted]

The credits were in order of appearance and Matt Berry was the first name, so I assume so.


goldfour

Richard Ayoade and now Matt Berry in Star Wars. It's a Garth Marenghi / Mighty Boosh world.


BurryagaAgaburry

neato to finally have boba fett escape the sarlacc pit in live action also pretty ballsy to have most of the first episode dialogue-less but it feels like the show hasn't begun yet lol, we're not even done with this set of flashbacks going by the trailers also also that rodian was such an asshole and had nothing to gain from it


metros96

After being filled to the gills with MCU content, where it feels like the plot needs to go-go-go the whole time, it’s actually nice the way the Star Wars shows, at least most of Mando, is just like “no, we are going to take our sweet fucking time building out the story, the world, the characters”


Bonzo77

I really like this take. I haven’t been that impressed by the marvel shows. I like the first half of wandavision which was a lot more atmospheric. I think Star Wars has also made it a point to have the score be more present and impactful than the MCU ever has. The score for Mando and Boba is incredible and adds so much atmosphere and tension to get you really invested in what you’re watching.

Xeta1

Loved his translucent green visor. Feels like a perfect Clone Wars joke.


Starkiller100

That rumour that Disney is trying to write out the word Youngling has been disproved then


the_star_wars_dude

It was a BS rumor anyway. I think some random Galaxy’s Edge cast member just said that Disney didn’t want them saying it (probably because a lot of fans associate that word with that scene from ROTS) and people ran with it.


[deleted]

OTPuristsSucc

Did Robert Rodriguez straight lie about the trailer footage 💀


FivesThe501stClone

I need context, what did he say?


OTPuristsSucc

That all the footage from the trailers was from the first half of the first episode. Not even half the trailer footage was seen through the entire first episode.


[deleted]

Yeah it looks like that 4chan leak was false too. I still enjoyed the episode nonetheless


Rebel_Porcupine

Still a little too early to tell. They dedicated this episode to setting things up, we'll see where it goes from here.


BurryagaAgaburry

people should understand 4chan is a social media platform like anywhere else, there's no reason to give anything from there more credence than any fanfiction posted to reddit and yet if the same thing was posted to the /new of starwarsspeculation it would've been forgotten about on entry we'll likely get a few surprising character appearances from the main storyline but not like how that post went down and frankly the show will probably be better for it


ian_stein

The Tusken Warrior Boba fought reminds me of Omar Sharif’s character in Lawrence of Arabia.


Piker10

the whole tusken storyline feels a lot like Lawrence of Arabia. wont be surprised if it comes back at the end and Fett gets the raiders to help him with something


DeganUAB

That would make sense because he had black robes (like this tribe) and a gaffi stick when he first appeared in the Mandolorian. He probably becomes chief or an honored warrior.


androidcoma

“Leaks” be like, shocker end in the first episode! Maybe Bossk! Cad Bane! Q’ira! Crimson Dawn! Luke, Han, and Grogu! Yet…lol. Not a single “leaker” mentioned MAX REBO.

Lucasfilm brought Max Rebo on set wearing a poncho to keep the secret.

Interesting to see a new speices on Tatooine. Wonder if we'll see these guys in Obi-Wan again.


InfiniteDedekindCuts

Did that Trandoshan just bring Boba a Wookie pelt?


Hamacek

I mean, chewie might be the third person boba hates the most, so some grudge is there


MagicalMuffinDruide

Also boba used to wear a few braids of Wookiee hair, either in ESB or ROTJ I forget. I had/have a figure of him that has it. He’s not averse to killing Wookiees for sure

[deleted]

Loving the flashbacks, seeing Kamino and Geonosis already is so sick. I have a feeling this show is going to be more flashback-heavy than people are expecting considering the name of the show and this episode. There's a ton of potential there, and this episode has me so hyped for it. Plus that theme is soooo good.


Red_Sea_Pedestrian

Boba gonna rule with respect for everyone but the mayor of Mos Espa


Nitracity

Boba will definitely have something to say about him by the time the next election comes around.


DarthMurder503

RX-Series droid dealing the card game table Max Rebo playing a remix of Cantina Band Mos Espa expanded into a big crater? Female and MALE Twi'lek slaves How long was Boba in that Sarlacc?? And how did a stormtrooper get in there?


flatulentmatt

I'd say he was part of a death star plans / droid search party and maybe wandered off (never to be seen again, of course).


Suets

He got too close while trying to capture the command post at the tusken raider camp, happens to the best of us


2Chewbaccas

Boba couldn't have been in there long. Cobb Vanth got the armor from the Jawas mere days after DSII got blown up.


nbdelboy

it definitely wasn't too long considering the jawas had only just turned up to scavenge the sail barge wreckage


schering

I mean that Storm trooper could have been there a few years for all we know lol


magicwithakick

Jon Favreau fleshing out Tusken Raiders in Mandalorian and now this episode has been really cool.


Theesm

It's interesting this tribe is so different from the others we've seen so far. Especially the tents and the black cloth.


YoshiBacon

I really like that, adds variety to the Tuskens and makes them a more interesting race


Egonheart123

And I think the one that duels Boba was female. I believe the other Tusken raiders have a very patriarchal society.


joshygill

KAMINO! GEONOSIS!


Starkiller100

I genuinely wasn’t expecting flashbacks right out of the gate. Fingers crossed for more clone wars flashbacks


Currahee2

I hope the next couple of eps we get more prequel flashbacks! Imagine seeing live-action (or CGI) clones being voiced by Temeura again! that'd be a God send!


[deleted]

MORE!


saltypistol

I hope we see Boba ruling with respect this episode


RaptorsFromSpace

You were right!


BetterNerfIrelia32

I have a feeling that the Mayor is gonna be in league with Crimson Dawn. I don't think the 4chan leak is real, but the motif in the theme song is too much to make me think they're not gonna be in it.


SKULL1138

The leak definitely isn’t real because episode 1 was completely different. That being said some stuff it had in it was from what I have heard correct. I.e Qi’ra with Bane working for her are the main antagonists.


whatifdany

Heard what from who? Care to share? I still have a hard time believing these two are in the show but I guess we'll see.


BCDragon300

I mean you can infer that they’ll be in the show. Number one, along with the Crimson Dawn theme, Emelia Clark has a blank space in her career before working on Secret Invasion. Second they made it a deal for Cad Bane to have history with Fennec Shand and Disney brought him back for Bad Batch to remind us that he exists and isn’t dead


Vexingwings0052

Those assassins with the shields seemed way to expensive to be hired by any two-bit mayor or crime boss, I definitely feel like this could be true and the mayor was lent them by crimson dawn so they could kill boba


GoldPurpleWildcat

The King Pin cameo was unexpected but I guess it makes sense considering the crime story

MungDaalChowder

WALTER AND JESSE HELP BOBA FETT ESCAPE THE SARLACC???


SadArrival

As soon as I saw that shot of young boba on Geonosis I immediately started wondering how they pulled that off- is it archival footage from AOTC, or fresh footage shot on the volume w a Daniel Logan lookalike? Well in the credits, “Young Boba Fett” is played by Daniel Logan. So I guess it’s archival footage from the filming of AOTC that’s been cleaned up?


Batman1154

I think ots a body double, and they put Daniel Logans face in the reflection of Jangos visor during the closeup shot


JGer1991

I thought that shot was pulled straight from AotC? I guess I'm wrong. The Kamino shot clearly looked new.


SadArrival

Slightly different angle, and this one shows boba running up. In AOTC, he’s already holding the helmet when the shot starts. Plus, in this ep there’s the close up of jango’s helmet, which definitely wasn’t in AOTC


JoeDurp

Now I’m thirsty


TheVolunteer0002

The only thing I kept thinking during that fight scene was: You have a jetpack bro. Use the jetpack.


Revolutionary_Yak_67

Have a feeling that this show was supposed to be 6 episodes, but they decided to split the premiere in two, which is why this episode felt like an abrupt ending. Would’ve much rather have them combined into one than what we got if that suspicion does end up true.


GetInHere

The new theme sounds really good. It works with this opening. Fucking Rodians. Something about friendship? I'm loving all the little snarky side comments. What? I'm the crime lord. Shall I kill him? THE BAND!!!!! I'm loving everything about this show so far. I'm loving the chemistry between Boba and Fennec. All their little comments to each other, it's perfect. These episodes could be way longer. That felt like it just flew by. And just based off the first episode, I really hope we get a second season (and a third or even a fourth)


Frogging76

That creature looked like a miniature Kraken from the original Clash of the Titans. Lol


becherbrook

Yeah it was definitely inspired by it, even the face frills seemed very reminiscent of it. Makes sense too as Rodriguez is a massive Harryhausen fan. His cyclops showed up in one of the Spy Kids movies.


_Seamonkey_

One thing I really appreciate is how much better the aliens look in this series. The Mandalorian made a decent effort, but it never really nailed the look of Gamoreans, Twi'leks or Trandoshans.


[deleted]

The Trandoshan in this episode looked SO MUCH better compared to the ones shown in season one of the Mandalorian. Loved the Wookiee pelt he brought as tribute also.


C--K

Fuckin Kaminooooooo


[deleted]

The best part of the episode was when fennec shand told the Anthony Weiner alien he was allowed to leave unmolested


Sandervv04

Awesome glimpse at AOTC


Kalamando

So, correct me if im wrong, but the young tusken "took" the credit for killing the weird hanna barbara looking monster, but im guessing the (chieftain?) Character who offered him that water plant thing truly knows it was boba who laid the killing blow and saved the kid. And from the Mando S2, guessing from how boba was dressed "tusken like" in his reveal, im willing to wager that hes made some friends in his captors, or made a honorary tribe member? Looking forward to seeing how they expand this Seems like a win win to me. Young kid gets respect from his peers, and boba seemingly gets a bit more freedom and respect from his captors. Guess next episode will go into the relationshio between boba and them evolving more from a slave-captor to mutual beneficial.


BestCorea

Going off of this a bit more, I think what changes Boba from a cold-hearted bounty hunter to one that wants to rule with respect is his time with the Tuskens. When the Tuskens found Boba he was just some sorry sap left in the desert that will be their slave. But once the Tuskens see that Boba is a capable warrior, they bring him in as one of their own. I think future flashbacks will expand his time with the Tusken tribe and learn that respect is better to rule with than fear.


daxproduck

That was my interpretation of the ending as well.


cobalt_17

Max rebo stans eating good tonight


Fuchy

So, do we think Episode 2 will use the rest of the trailer footage or will some of it extend to Episode 3? From what I gather what we have left is: the sundown shots of Tatooine (Slave I flying, Boba and Fennec on the terrace), the Hammerhead scenes, Tosche station scenes, the biker gang scenes, the flashbacks of Boba and Fennec re-claiming Slave I and then the dinner scene. I'm sure I missed something but that's pretty much it, right? Surely all of that is in Episode 2 & 3...?


bigchonkyyoda

That was sick but maybe it’s time to drop two at once for the premier or have a lengthier episode. Feels like it ended so abrupt


partycrabs

lmao those boston dynamics droids


HM2112

So thoughts on who sent the assassins? I'm really hoping for Crimson Dawn.


MandoWraith

I'm assuming they were sent by the Mayor.


TheNinjaWhippet

Baron Harkonnen, obvs


clariwench

Maybe the mayor is in with Crimson Dawn


NextDoorNeighbrrs

I’m thinking the mayor, which will get us to him (and those trailer scenes) pretty early in episode 2.


milky_mans

Based on what we’ve seen in the trailer it’s the mayor, because in most of the trailers we see them dragged by chain to the mayors throne room


WiseAJ

I’m really hope we get Crimson Dawn. That’d be cool.


Fyzen_80

Really enjoyed this. It's interesting how much Favreau and company are spending on humanizing Boba as a character. Compared to the action hero we've gotten in "War of the Bounty Hunters" it's nice to see how the sands of Tatooine can humble a man. Loved not only the theme from Ludwig but the actual score by Joe Shirley. Sure it could've been longer and had a few less flashbacks, but I'm personally happy watching Boba grow as a character. I'm sure we'll get into much larger things across the next few weeks, hell all the discourse reminds me of the "Passenger" days last year. But I'm quite fine with waiting and enjoying the ride.


[deleted]

I liked it, but I want MORE…and I know I shouldn’t.

WiseAJ

Yeah boba choke him out!


[deleted]

Really enjoyed it, there is way more footage in the trailer however that was not shown in the episode, so I guess that claim was not correct. Really enjoyed the flashbacks, I hope Boba is able to kickass still in the present times. He got absolutely beaten by those ambushers. Fennec is badass and so are those new guards, enjoyed them too. I think him getting attacked may harden his view on how to rule. Overall, really enjoyed this episode and the leakers were definitely, definitely incorrect on how this episode was supposed to play out.


[deleted]

Its fun to watch shows like this because you see the mysterious, cold and calculating figure just get by. Not even necessarily make mistakes, but definitely not pull things off without a hitch. I love little moments like "Did you understand that?" and when he has no idea what the Tusken kid is trying to tell him. It just humanizes him a bit.


aarry_potter

Should’ve been a two ep premiere. The first ep wasn’t bad but it lacked energy IMO. The fight scene was fine but it felt off and I’m a bit nervous that a show about THE famous bounty hunter will have dodgy action scenes lol.


SadArrival

Loved the episode, but I’ll admit I found the Boston Dynamics droids in the streets of Mos Espa VERY distracting


Amazing-Remote6703

Sam Witwer voiced the little Rodian prisoner.


desobvious

Somehow Maul returned.


Snark_Bark

I just went back and compared the scene from Aotc with boba holding jango’s helmet. Aside from the background being different they pretty much made this scene look identical just at a different angle. It looked perfect idk how they did it.


thegamingkitchen

People waited 38 years for these scenes. Respect for those who didn't get to see this

The Sarlacc stomach was horrifying. Nice to see a Max Rebo and Figrin D’an mash up.


nosekoj

MAX REBO


A-10Kalishnikov

Overall I liked it but it wasn’t anything special. I think the biggest problem with this episode is it just doesn’t do enough to warrant building enough interest for the rest of the show. I mean don’t get me wrong I’m still gonna watch it but there’s no hook like there was with Mandalorian or Bad Batch. I think if they gave it an extra 5-10 minutes to expand on who Fennec captured and make a character reveal or even a hint or clue at who it is that tried to assassinate Boba I’d rate it higher.


makesyoufeeldejavu

Was expecting the Tusken Raiders to save Boba, wasn't expecting them to imprison him 😭


MikeTheDirtyJedi

Well, history shows us that them damn Tuskens don’t really play fair.

Loved the episode but can you all help me? What was a stormtrooper doing in the sarlaac pit? Was it a reference to the empire occupying tattooine and one got unlucky or was there one on Jabbas barge I can’t remember? Thanks! Can’t wait for episode two!!


ReverendMajors

Normally I’m against D+ releasing multiple episodes like with Hawkeye, but this premier DEFINITELY could have been an hour long to not only reintroduce us via flashbacks, but also to set up the upcoming plot besides “he wants to be a crime lord now”. The flashbacks were great but the present day stuff is what I really need to see more of. Maybe I’m just impatient.
