    A semi-spoiler free mini review. Episode 4 was a better than Episode 3. I'd say Episode 4 should have been extended by 20 extra minutes and it could have been the first 4 episodes. The other episodes were pointless filler that made Boba Fett look like an idiot. When Boba and Fennec reappeared in The Mandalorian you might have been interested in learning how they got here. Visually they gave you enough clues. Boba was dressed as Tusken Raider. We could have assumed he was either rescued by them or killed them. Disney gave us 3 episodes of flashback of him living among them. Episode 4 features a flash back of him finding Fennec. In just a couple lines of dialog he explains where he's been all this time. Those lines and his clothes are all you need. There's more cyborg stuff. We know Fennec has a robot-stomach. Fett takes her to Cyberpunk doctor with techno music that seems so out of place with Star Wars. Fett also almost gets them killed be being a moron. They have a slapstick scene with droids. And he finally explains his motivations.

    I'd say something happened after the first 2 (episode IV & V) movies that has carried on ever since. The badguys became comical. In those movies they were a threat. From episode VI they all start making more stupid mistakes.

    I recommend you watch Peacemaker. They uploaded the first 3 episodes, and they are much better than the first 3 episodes of Fett. Both shows have a villain turned good or on the path. Peacemaker's journey to that goal seems much more believable than Boba's. What's is hurting Boba's story in my opinion is that Disney wants to keep Star Wars fun for the entire family. Boba Fett is a killer, trying to be an honorable Tony Montana but Disney won't let him. He doesn't have to go full Scarface but he's still in the business of crime. Boba is running a protection racket. Boba's new swoop gang could have easily refused his offer. Boba would then have no choice but to beat up or even kill these poor little rich kids over water. He could have also intimidated them to give back the water without physically hurting them. Disney wouldn't allow any of those to happen because all those options is something a bad guy would do.

    Pokemon is related to anime, but Jake Paul doesn't need any more attention. Wouldn't surprise me if this turns out to be a big hoax. Topic Closed.

    First 3 episodes are up. It is more rated R than the movie. Pretty good so far.

    The Rancor will try to eat Boba when he attempts to ride it. Danny and The Rancor are just another assassination attempt from the Hutts.

    Minor spoilers They introduce a cyborg swoop gang. That have turned to stealing because of a lack of work. This gang also appears to have become cyborgs by choice. One even admits that he paid a lot for his eye. Does mean they all got laid off and decided to blow all their savings on expensive cyborg modifications? If they have enough money for cyborg limbs with built in weapons and design swoop bikes why not buy a ticket of world where there's work? Did Boba Fett become a moron? This was the guy that Vader had to tell not to disintegrate the bounty. Okay after being swallowed and living among the sand people he's a changed man but he was once clever enough to figure out to find the Falcon. Now he's nearly letting people get away and making careless moves. He's also engaging in MCU banter. Leave the witty dialog to Fennec and have Boba be the straight man.

    I think most this season is going to be in flashbacks. Going to predict the conclusion right now. Boba has been totally reformed and his attempt to take over Jabba's empire is to draw out all the criminal element so he can defeat them all at once bringing peace to the moisture farmers and sand people. If it is a one season and done series the last episode will have Fett giving it all up to live among the sand people for the rest of his life. I wish his change from villain to hero was more convincing. His change so far seems more like a case of Stockholm syndrome. Why are Luke's friends still breathing? Think about it Luke destroyed the Deathstar. The Empire would have done everything they could to learn about him. Including discovering all of his associates and activities on Tatooine.

    No college will take those kids. They don't study. All their free time is spent practicing Karate. Their school records are filled comments about getting in fights. 1st Season started with Johnny as a Craigslist Handy Man living in a cheap apartment. Same fate awaits all those kids. Daniel got lucky. Look at Ali she dated Karate kids but did none of that Karate herself and became a doctor.

    All I know is someone was a big liar and everyone deserves a refund.

    Fun but lacks logic. Hate not talking about spoilers so I'll talk in terms of what we can guess from the trailers. Villains are pulled before they died/defeated from other movie universes into the MCU. Events that happen in this movie would have an effect when they return to their universes/movies. Each of those movies would end differently and that would lead to different sequels. One big time paradox.

    The show was bad but most of the cast was good and I felt it still had potential. Hoping they were taking notes from the critics and would have done a better job on season 2.

    Harry Potter?

    Might be worth it with all the unlocks. Then again when I collect vintage items I want actual vintage not revamp repros. When I buy new I want things like a classified scale Hiss or Vamp.

    Finished it last night. I see it like a fan film. Some performances were good and other weren't. When you have no budget you cast whoever you can get and shoot in whatever locations are the cheapest. There was parts that I was pleasantly surprised by but overall I'd have to give it a 5 out of 10. I would have preferred they cut the episode count for 10 to 6 and use the extra money on CGI and production design.

    Hi-Metal R

    I had a loose leg on a Regult straight out of the box.

    Wow their heights! According to Google 5'5, 5'8 and 5'10. Even if she's wearing 3 inch heels the difference of heights for all of them is way off. My guess is Ned 5'2, Peter 5'5 and MJ 5'10 (without heels).

    Starting on the 3rd episode. It's not bad but it feels cheap. Guess after the Mandalorian I thought it was possible to have sci-fi on a TV budget. They've got some good performances and some not so good performances. The action just seem very basic. This gives me the impression of a really well made fan film. It would be the talk of Internet and fans would say give this guy a budget to make this a series.

    It's out? Guess I better get Netflix for a just a month.

    It's a miracle.

    I wonder if the movie will start with the Robotech soundtrack and graphic saying presented by Harmony Gold.

    Links doesn't allow me to order them online and zero in stock nearby.

    Ordered one this morning. Nice to have a complete set.

    I finished it last night only took a week. I didn't hate it. I didn't like it. I still found it boring. Like I did with the original, like I did with Blade Runner and the Blade Runner sequel , Akira to me these movies are all overrated. Visually the are absolutely stunning. I could stare at them all day but I feel no emotional connection to the characters or the plot.

    Boba was an orphan who made his way in life the only way he knew how as a Bounty Hunter. Being fed to the Sarlacc and wandering the desert for years could have changed his attitude in life to where he'd be willing to rescue Baby Yoda. Where do you take a possibly reformed Bounty Hunter after that? Have him take over Jabba's gang? Does that sound like it would fit his character?
