Overall, we got another fun episode of The Book of Boba Fett that left me excited for more.
Another Wednesday is upon us and that means a new episode of The Book of Boba Fett! Like the first chapter, this one was written by Jon Favreau but instead of having Robert Rodriguez at the helm, directorial duties on chapter 2 were covered by Steph Green.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Given the episode’s content, chapter 2 was aptly titled ‘The Tribes of Tatooine.’ Much like the first episode, this one followed a pattern of a mix of “present-day” storytelling and flashbacks. The majority of the episode took place in the latter, filling in more background about what happened to Boba after his escape from the Sarlaac Pit. It covered much more of his time with the Tusken Raiders. I enjoyed the time this episode spent on his relationship with the Tuskens and how he went from slave to essentially a member of their tribe. I really liked how the story humanized the Tusken Raiders and presented them as much more than savage plunderers.
THE MAYOR OF MOS ESPA
Regarding the “present-day” events, I have to admit that I was a little disappointed with the reveal of the mayor of Mos Espa but one of my favorite parts of the episode was when they gave us the return of the Hutts. These are species that, other than Jabba, we didn’t really get to see a lot of in the live-action films. I am looking forward to seeing more of Jabba’s cousins as they attempt to take the territory that they claim is theirs from Boba. Also, was that Black Krrsantan that I saw as the Hutts enforcer? If so, could that mean the possible introduction of a favorite character of mine to live-action? I really hope so.
VERDICT
Overall, we got another fun episode of The Book of Boba Fett that left me excited for more.
The Book Of Boba Fett is streaming on Disney Plus now.
