I paraphrased a bit for the purpose of the setting Tongue

given that Navarro seems like it doesnt have too many canyons.

I quite enjoyed the first episode. I’m curious who the person was at the end watching the Mando ride off into the sunset.

That's Boba Fett, I'm 99% sure

That’s my thought too, I was just wondering if there is any confirmation yet?

None but it makes the most sense.  If it was another clone it would be a lot older...but since Boba didn't have his age accelerated it fits.

Boba is the only one that makes sense. Plus if you listen closely, you can hear that he still wears the spurs. Which also means that it was Boba that walked up on Fennec Shand's body in Chapter 5.

I did confirm that’s the same actor that played Jango at the very least so all my bets are on Boba.

Disney ... Solo, Rogue One, Rebels, Clone Wars and the Mandalorian .... How can Disney make a so awful trilogy and so great stand alone movies and shows ...

Jon Favreau .... I LOVE THIS GUY  Grin

The Western ambiance, the dragon .... the last picture ... perfection ....

Because Solo, R1, Rebels, TCW and Mando are all made by Star Wars fans. The trilogy were made by movie fans who happen to like and have been influenced by Star Wars (but seriously, who hasn't in the movie business).

SERIOUSLY!?!? That was Temuera Morrison. How could you NOT know who the character was?

I've heard this about last season, as well. And now that you bring it up, I had a 'HOLY $#!%' moment in the form of remembering hearing Boba walking through Bespin as they took Solo to Slave I. He had the sound of spurs. Now I seriously hope that it's just supposed to be a sound effect for something else, as spurs on an interstellar bounty hunter makes about as much sense as gills on a desert bird.

Now I remember also hearing a rumor that Rex could show up. There was much speculation about age. I was of the mind that he would be positively ancient.

Meh. I wouldn't say they were great. They had some good moments, but also had some real stinkers. And IMO, Filoni is far more miss than hit.



Ok, now on to the review.

Getting back to Tatooine is always fun. I cannot get enough of the scenes of a speeder cruising the sand dunes. It is just supremely relaxing. I thought it was exceptionally neglectful for Mando to just stuff the kid in a satchel bag with no eye protection or sand filtration. And then he spontaneously switches sides of the speeder. Tongue YAY for Timothy Olyphant. Took me a minute to recognize him. The grey goatee threw me off. MOAR YAY for the modified Radon-Ulzer 620C into Cobb's speeder. However, if they even hint at that being specifically one of Anankin's engines, Ima completely burn Disney to the #$%&ing ground. Also, that thing should have left Mando's piddly speeder in the dust. The overall story wasn't bad. I'm torn on how they depicted the Krayt. I was excited as hell to finally see one live action. However, I was a bit let down that they turned it into a sand worm. All source material indicated that it was a giant lizard, or literally a dragon, like the Komodo. But at the same time, when we see the skeleton in ANH, no legs are shown. I can cut them some slack on that, but honestly I was a bit underwhelmed that they ripped off Tremors. And seriously? The pearl? A widely accepted alternative crystal for a lightsaber.......is the size of a basketball. Way to do your research you overpaid tools. And what the hell did they do to the bantha? They looked cheap as hell, AND the dummies made them all the same age (look at the horns). NTM Tuskens have a powerful bond with their bantha that approaches symbiotic. I don't see them willingly sacrificing them. Not a terribly great showing for the first episode of the season.

On a wildlife life note: Kath wanted me to pass on that if it were using it's stomach acid offensively, blowing its guts open would spoil the meat.

To my understanding, this can also depend on whether its stomach acid or if the liquid in question comes from a separate dedicated organ. Hard to argue anatomy with so little info though. I'd also argue the Marshall's speeder could outpace Djin's rustbucket if he needed it to but he was leading Mando to the nest so no reason to. I'd also like to raise the Tusken language and culture as a high point of the episode, Banthas aside, we see firsthand how willing they are to communicate as long as you know how, which has been a theme occasionally in Legends that was nice to see. Also apparently the sign language component of their language was invented with the assistance of a deaf individual fluent in ASL to make it as realistic as possible which is neat.
