I agree with everyone else that the biker gang is probably the worst part of the show so far. They were built up as being these threatening cyborg warriors, but they look and act more like the protagonists of a crappy YA dystopia novel. Their rainbow colored Spy Kids speeders don’t look very good either. And don’t get me started on that chase scene: the entire thing was basically just “Oh no, we’re about to crash into a recognizable thing from the previous movies!” I mean, they even crash into a Ralph McQuarrie concept painting!

Also, I feel like they made Boba way too soft in this show. I get that he’s been through some traumatic stuff, but he just seems blind to the realities of running a criminal organization. Instead of him being the calculating warrior from the OT and Mando, his solution to everything seems to be “give the bad guys some money and hope they go away.” And that tendency was especially bad this episode: did they really need to include that scene of him going kawaii-mode over the baby Rancor?

So yeah, the latest episode has definitely knocked this show down a couple pegs in my opinion. Hopefully the show will redeem itself somewhat by the end of the season.
