She’s stunning! She’s on GMA right now looking gorgeous, and I googled her age. I’m stunned! |

Did anyone like Episode 3?

What?!?! I had no idea. We are not impressed with it either. Just so slow. My 14 year old piped up when the twins had a gift. Shouting Slave 1. That is how bored the Star Wars lover is. |

| First episode was average, second was awesome. Love the sand people exploration. |

Agree, first episode had too many flashbacks and complexities in form without enough narrative payoff. Second and third were good. I actually think Boba Fett is shaping up to be better than the Mandalorian was in the beginning; I think people forget how repetitive its first season was: go to new planet, try to help occupants, get chased off by folks pursuing the child, lather rinse repeat. (And I *like* the Mandalorian...) |

| I love how all the characters are older. The fight scenes with Boba Fett are not great though. He actor just doesn't have the physicality for it. He's past his prime. |

| I like it because it is more of a space Western than the Mandalorian. Love how he solves problems by walking into a bar of ill repute and beating up troublemakers. Oh yes, and robbing the stage coach with the Tuskens! |

Episode 3 was weird.
I think the teenage gang on colorful bikes was strategically added for marketing purposes; you know they will be action figures/toys next Christmas. |

| It's terrible. Boring. Unrealistic fight scenes. Bad special effects. An ugly bald dude as the main character. No thanks. We will not be watching the rest. The mandalorian was really good so what a disappointment. |

| It's tedious but I did love the part about rancors being emotionally complex. |

+1. I tried episode 3 since it was later at night and I couldn't find anything else on. The teenage biker gang was just stupid. With the ridiculous 1950's color bikes. Unless they are trying to be funny - but I don't think so. Even the pig guards, whatever they are called (I can't recall) seem a bit cartoonish. I just expected Boba Fett to be really tough but he gets thrown around in virtually every fight like he's an average fighter at best... Watching Jango Fett fight Jedi and the Mandalorian was cool. Watching some old bald guy get tossed around like a rag doll isn't. When he has the helmet on I'm like - ok cool he's a bad a$$, gonna whoop some butt! ...then he takes it off and I'm like - oh man, somebody get that old guy a chair to sit down on. |

| Well, the Book of Boba Fett is much better when it is actually the Mandalorian. |

Way better. I do still thibk Jon Favreau singlehandedly redeemed Star Wars after the sequel trilogy went spectacularly off the rails. |

Yes agree. I don’t understand how Pedro Pascal is such a ridiculously good actor. You don’t even see his face. |

Same - it was a violent snooze fest while Mandalorian was way more interesting … |
