Featured review
Strong production values, solid performances, but weak on storytelling, characters and dialogue
Boba Fett faces up to a fight to keep his territory.
I personally find this one to be a so so episode that isn't particularly memorable.
It starts with a big and lazily written exposition dump explained via dialogue in the opening scene. What follows are a series of fairly lacklustre exchanges between Boba Fett and various other characters. Most of the scenes set in the present are quite simplistic, with bland dialogue and devoid of any real intrigue. I did not find any of the new characters introduced particularly engaging. It seems more like a tick box exercise to appeal to a younger audience.
The plot (I think ) is attempting to build up to a big conflict between Fett and another faction for control of Tatooine's criminal world, but there is very little suspense developed.
The flashback scenes with Tuskens are the most interesting as it does give Fett some additional motivation to fight the biker gang. I also enjoyed the baby Rancor scene which hopefully might lead on to something good in the upcoming chapters.
No performances really stand out for me. Temuera Morrison is a solid lead action hero, but the role has not called for any acting challenges yet.
Visually it looks impressive with all the state of the art technology used for the landscapes of Tatooine, but the action spectacle was for me largely forgettable.
