Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Scorpenek Annihilator Droids are based on concept art considered for the Battle Droid armies in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) as advanced forms of the Destroyer Droids. While they did exist in the Expanded Universe, this is the first time they've actually been featured in a story, canon or otherwise. In-Universe they were created by the Colicoids, a race of highly intelligent but vicious insect-like aliens who created the Destroyer Droids for the Trade Federation and would also make the Tri-Fighters for the Separatists.
- GoofsWhen Black Krrsantan returns to the cantina, he is already limping, then gets shot into the knee and can't stand without help. Shortly after that, he is running down the street.
- Crazy creditsThe song, "The Book of Boba Fett," played at the beginning of the end credits for each episode was updated for the season one finale. The words "Fett," and "Boba Fett," can be heard chanted by the choir, replacing the generic rhythmic vocalizations heard in episodes 1-6.

Featured review
Fett for a King ?
Both exactly what I was expecting and oddly anticlimactical, is how I'd describe the finale of the first season of "The Book of Boba Fett".
Team Fett gather together at the site of the bombed-out bar and then spread out around Mos Espa looking for signs of the Pyke Syndicate. They fail though to see Cad Bane (Corey Burton) who approaches the bar to negotiate their surrender. Their refusal kick starts a battle between the two forces. Betrayed on numerous fronts, and hopelessly outgunned by battle droids, Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) makes a desperate decision. Meanwhile, a lone X-Wing lands in Peli Motto's (Amy Sedaris) hanger.
It was apparent, from very early in the series, that the finale was going to be Boba Fett's stand against the overwhelming odds of the Pyke Syndicate. I want to start with some of the positives about the episode. It looked amazing; the scenes with the Rancor running amok looked great and the fight scenes were much better than they have been earlier in this run, even if the targeting on those battle droids definitely needs an upgrade.
My big problem is that I don't feel like there's any connection between Fett and the people of Mos Espa. It feels like the Pyke Syndicate should have taken over immediately after Jabba's death and been cruel overlords, only for Fett to act as liberator, effectively repeating what he did with the Tusken Raiders in the flashback story and inspiring an uprising. But that's not what actually happened, Mos Espa appeared to be doing reasonably well without Fett, only for him to come in, aggravate the situation, get several of them killed and incur lots of property damage, much of which was caused by the Rancor HE RELEASED, only for them to treat him like Don Corleone at the end of it anyway. Guys... he caused the problem he's then saved them from?!?
As a series, I didn't hate it... but I do feel it's been a lot less self-assured than "The Mandalorian" has been. Would I watch a second season? Of course I would, we've established a bunch of characters and I'd really want that Star Wars / Deadwood style show that I mentioned a couple of episodes back. However, I'd really like them to decide if there's a story worth telling, before going ahead with it.
