Yep episode 3 was rough. Big chunks of if felt more like a crappy episode of Doctor Who than a Star Wars show.

But the biggest issue for me is Boba Fett just seems like a moron. I have no problem with character growth or a change of heart. But you don’t magically go from being a calculating man of action (who’s both fearsome enough to talk back to Darth Vader and successful enough to be “the most notorious bounty hunter in the galaxy”) to suddenly needing your assistant to make all your decisions and tell you how everything works and being dumb enough to watch the majordomo guy walk away and close the door in your face when he’s clearly been giving you the run around. And then going and pushing the open button like that was ever going to work!?

I had no problem believing Boba Fett in The Mandalorian was the same guy we saw in ESB but with additional growth (the fact he saw through helping Mando even after he already got what he wanted). But the way he’s written in this show feels like an entirely different (and stupider) person, not someone who’s grown or had a change of heart.

Enough complaining, I’ll end on a positive note:

Black Krrsantan (sp?) was awesome. Loved every moment he was on screen.

I also liked that Boba was into his new pet rancor. Even bad guys like their pets!
