I'll mark that book down as an "Eventually to read", if I haven't already. (I added a TON of Star Wars books to my to-read list on Goodreads.) Thanks for the info! Totally agreed on Boba seeing the Tuskens as family. The speeders give me more Coruscant vibes (as does the group of teens/young adults). I didn't mind the overall pacing of the chase, but totally understand y'all that find it slow and jarring.

2023-08-17 01:20:37 +0000 UTCI think that that was one of the first times Boba probably has ever had a family, the only other time being with Jango. Probably that's why the Jango leaving in the ship memory comes through for him a lot. It's so sad they died. I grew up reading legends material (I'm 35), and there is an AMAZING series called Young Jedi Knights (like star wars hogwarts) that follows what was then Han and Leia's children through Luke's Academy that he built on the Yavin 4 base from Episode 4 once the war was over. I recommend it highly. Anyway... Included in the band of young teen jedi was Chewie's nephew Lowbacca and a Princess from a clan of Dathomir named Tanel Ka. At that time, the creation of lightsabers was a bit different, I don't remember Kyber being a thing, just focusing crystals and they could be any variety of crystals and colors. (this was the 90s pre Clone Wars and Disney). Tanel Ka used a crystal from her royal tiara and she uses a Rancor tooth, because the rancor are native to Dathomir and they have huge teeth, as the casing of her lightsaber instead of metal. Anyway, she is awesome. She loses an arm and declines getting any prosthetics and is just bad-ass because the Dathomirans were warriors. But the Dathomir people riding Rancors is a really neat nod from this show. I love that series. My only gripe, outside of the Pyke stuff, in this show are the speeders. I CANNOT take the colored speeders seriously. They are supposed to be fast, are filmed like they are going fast with hair blowing and stuff, but they are obviously slowwwwwwww. This isn't a problem with other speeders, just the speeder street gang that Boba adopted. It's just so jarring. The little putt putt moped gang trying to keep up with big normal speeder. It just doesn't read "intimidating" to me like I think it was supposed to haha.

2023-08-17 01:16:43 +0000 UTCIt did look like he was traveling back there to relax for a bit. I feel like he probably would. They had some great bonding and mutual respect and lived pretty simply. After everything Boba has been through in his life, being with them was probably some of the most peaceful days he's ever had.

2023-08-16 22:35:17 +0000 UTCIf the Tuskan tribe had not been destroyed, I wonder if Boba would have just stayed with them. To me it looked like after he was accepted in, he felt a sense of belonging. A family.

2023-08-16 22:31:32 +0000 UTCIt was cool for the fact that Tatooine was once surrounded by water to be referenced. As we learned in Legends, it was attacked by the Rakatans during the reign of the Infinite Empire, burning away most of the water and turning it into sand, which the Tuskens referred to as "Sky People." This plus the "Rakatan Invaders" that Luthen Rael mentioned in Andor and all the Tusken lore that we've seen in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett I love because of how it connects to KoTOR and that Old Republic Era. I kinda wonder if the Tree that Boba saw when he went on his spirit journey was like one of the last trees from back when Tatooine was filled with water. I am kinda disappointed that the Tuskens were killed off, off screen. It would have great to still have them around and for them to help Boba fight the Pykes.

2023-08-16 18:27:47 +0000 UTCYeah the back cracking but then him being fine kinda caught me off guard too, but just went with it. The speeder chase speed actually makes sense to me because this city is PACKED with people and so many items, as we saw. And maybe I'm just used to how FAST chases happen in the animated shows that my brain subconsciously knows to almost expect slower chases in live-action. 🤣 Thanks for watching and for the Easter Eggs!

2023-08-16 04:41:45 +0000 UTCSimilar to you, episode 2 was so good it was hard to follow up. I enjoyed the episode but there were some "cracks in the armor" with the episode for me. The fight scene with Krrsantan the wookie was a bit awkward and a lot of suspension of disbelief. Boba took some big hits even with spiked knuckles, then we hear his back cracking, then he just shows up in his robe like we just caught him coming out of the bath tub. Also the speeder chase at the end sort of took me out of it, it visually looks like a slow speed chase, just didn't do anything for me. More easter eggs: The painting they destroyed in the chase scene was actually a Ralph Mcquarrie original art piece for Jabba's palace. It's hard to tell at first, but the fruit we see at the end of the chase scene falling onto the speeder was actually the meiloorun fruit. Hera would've been happy
