Of course I want Grogu to reunite with Din but I also kind of wish he and Luke could do a shared custody type of thing because more Jedi training could only help. That sweet baby boy survived Jabba's Sail Barge, he'll survive this. I'm afraid I can't say the same for Jennifer Beals.
So that completes the hat trick of LOTR references in this episode after the chain mail and an Olyphant getting taken out.Something about Cad’s lips just reminded me of the Mouth of Sauron.
They are definitely connecting to the sequels here and anybody who says otherwise is in total denial. The huts are literally identical to what we saw in TLJ.
Yeah, they were there standing around with the rest of them.

Max Rebo should be short for Maximum Rebound, he should be allowed to "bounce" back every time, right into his barrel-Keyboard-diaper, and never miss a beat. !
His deputy got eviscerated, yet it looked like Vanth survived. As people gathered to try and heal him.
Great debut for Cad Bane but a shame we lost Cobb there.
Oh that's better then. Best of both worlds. Shame for the poor deputy but give Bane an awesome entry, keep Cobb for future use and motivate the townspeople to fight.
I'm starting to think that Book of Boba Fett should have just been a four episode miniseries that focused on the flashback stuff like how Boba escaped the Sarlaac/joined the Tuskens/met Fennec, etc. with setup for the Pike syndicate storyline in the last episode which would then get picked up in a crossover event movie that would essentially just be BOBF episodes 5-7 since everything that's happening now feels like a big crossover event anyway. That way you avoid the whole "forgetting about Boba in his own show" problem we've seen in the last two episodes.
What I find strange is that Grogu is Luke's first student and it's been five years since ROTJ. Shouldn't he have started training Ben by now even though he'd only be 3/4 or at least have found some other students in the meantime?
Wouldn't Ben be only 5 at this point though? I kind of forgot if it was ever confirmed what age he was when Luke took him in.

I would have liked another couple of episodes showing Boba finishing the build up of the early stages of his empire and then show them win a notable victory against a mid-size rival before drafting in the rest of the SW universe like this for the mega battle for the last 2 episodes.
I just looked it up, Wookieepedia confirms that he was born one year after ROTJ so he'd be about 4 but he didn't start training with Luke until he was 10. So that solves that, but it's still odd that Luke wouldn't have found any other students in that five year gap.
Yeah, agreed. I also loved the foreshadowing with how they cut from the fire to the hut and "there's no safer place than with Luke".
I think that's more of a general Star Wars thing. Almost every single recurring character has stretches of history where it seems they didn't do or change much.
Alden will definitely return as Han in the Lando and Qi'ra series since they'll be taking place roughly around the same time period as Solo did, but as weird as it could be to see a de-aged Harrison Ford showing up, it'd be even more jarring to see Alden as a post-ROTJ Han in this. In this case, I'd rather the deepfake Ford option.

We’re getting really good Luke fan-service here. He’s one of my all-time favourite heroes so it’s amazing to see.
