Review
The first three episodes have been a wild roller coaster ride with Book of Boba Fett. The first episode set up an intriguing story; the second episode felt really slow, whereas the third episode seem to pick up the pace and tried to make up for missed opportunities.
But we are finally getting somewhere in the latest episode of the series.
We are starting to see the dots being connected between the present-day story of Boba Fett, his past days with the Tusken tribe, and when we first saw him in The Mandalorian. The episode reveals how Boba Fett came across Fennec Shand (which was teased in The Mandalorian), how he was able to retrieve his ship, the Firespray (the name of the ship was changed last year), and where now stands with his territory and the Pyke Syndicate.
Towards the end of the episode, we get a glimpse of the upcoming, ominous event that the series has been teasing since the first episode and that the story will finally catch up with itself. And if you listen closely to the ending music, we will get a hint of who may be showing up in next week’s episode (Although I’m still waiting for C-3PO to make its appearance from the tease in Chapter 1).
Final Thoughts
I was a little concerned about continuing this show but I'm glad I did. It feels like this episode has hit its stride very well and as long as they keep this pacing, storytelling, and high-quality action scenes, they can end this season on a high note, along with special surprises they seem to tease along the way.
