This episode was definitely a step up from the last. I do appreciate the comment about Boba being too soft and Boba reassured us, and the audience, that is not the case. So I am hoping to see more of the “Ill Rule with Respect, but Don’t Cross Me” vibe. I think the “softness” many were not keen about was more about Boba focusing on a tribe, or group for power, and not just himself. Im ok with that.

Still not a fan of the CyberPunk style, especially the music, but it does tie in Fennec’s “repair.”

Although I can “rationalize” about Boba and Sarlacc in that his memory could have been fuzzy about his escape of the Sarlacc (Loss of memory from injury/dehydration/etc.) … it was strange he thought it must have been inside of the sarlacc. I think the writers wanted him to have a sort of “revenge” against the pitt … but still wasn’t logical even if he had zero memory of what happened. But whatever.

It’s easy to see Disney is removing the Slave1 name. Granted, in context it made sense for Fett to describe his ship to Fennec as a ship model as apposed to just Slave1 so she knows what they are looking for … but even then doesn’t matter since he could just point it out to her. “Fennec, let’s find my ship … (goes to hanger and points to the ship) … That’s it.”

I am personally not a supported of changing established things for the sake of agendas or making something a problem that wasn’t. (asides for Fett’s ship, I also look at the Rule of Two being changed for the sake of an No Plan movie/saga.)

HOWEVER, with Boba changing from a bounty hunter/rebirth/Diaymo, I can see him changing the ship to reflect his new persona/title/role/etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if after he defeats the Pykes or is in full control, he simply names it Daiymo1. That would at least have a story reason for it … though again, not a fan of changing things or trying to make something an issue that never was.
