I still say it was a mistake to cast rosario dawson as ahsoka, considering the voice actress for clone wars was more than capable to do the live action...

i can see that as a "problem" for disney, but when she cosplays ahsoka, she looks right on a shoestring budget. Think of how good she'd have been with a team behind her.

Fun fact: I played baseball with her husband, David Eckstein before he was the 2005 World Series MVP. That’s my 15 minutes of fame.

I thought she did ok.
She is a star and is a big-time comic/cosplay geek in real life so they probably got her to work for scale....
Oh, wait, she is with corey booker.... I hate her she is the worst

Garsa Fwip (Jennifer Beales) and Fennec (Ming-Na) are both 58 years old IRL.

Dang. They are looking good. Not even “for their age”, just….dang.

You know... Garsa looked mostly familiar to me. But i NEVER recognize her with that new nose...

Who put that dent in Boba's helmet?

In a clip revealed during the Animated Origins and Unexpected Fates panel at Celebration Orlando in 2017, Cad Bane and other bounty hunters had ended an insurrection by Fett. To finish it, they engaged in a stand-off duel, where the younger mercenary got his helmet dented.[45]

Interesting factoid since Cad Bane is in the last two episodes. He was modeled after Lee Van Fleet’s Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Yep it looks like Cobb isn’t dead yet, and Boba is surrounding himself with cyborgs.
anyone catch how Chewblacca is dragging his broken leg behind him in one scene and running around on it a few scenes later? Wookies heal fast I guess.

aahahaha they did a good job then, because that's what i was thinking when i saw him in clone wars
 
I know I have seen those droids before but I can’t place them. This series is full of little Easter eggs and homages.

The final episode pulled heavily from Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes game for the rancor animations, and Scooby Doo for battle tactics.

They actually shot each other in that dual. Fett landed a glancing shot to the top of Cad Banes head. You see the metal plate on top of his head in the Bad Batch and also in BoBF. I'm fairly certain we will see Cad Bane again in the future.


The other two dents in Fett's armor from Empire I don't believe are cannon or there any longer. The fact that Beskar could actually be damaged by a blaster is a bit of a plot hole ayway. ;)

One of thing that surprised me (not the same as disappointing me) was the mechanic saying Grogu is a terrible name and she isn’t going to call him that. I know it is a nod to the fan base who didn’t like the name, but I assumed ultra-woke Kathleen Kennedy would equate that to modern day refusing to acknowledge someone’s preferred pronouns and she would have nixed that.

Some of these I saw myself and were confirmed by other people, posts and videos.... Others I picked up upon reading and a second watch. All in all it was uneven. There were good episodes and bad ones. I think they were tore laying the ground for future seasons and the Mandalorian and other spinoffs. I think if they can make season 2 more of a stand alone it will work. I hope Boba gets back to more of his bounty hunter ways vs the man of the people crap but if they bring in Crimson Dawn they will have enough action to keep me interested.


A few of the throw backs in the episode are to westerns just like The New Hope.

-The train revealing the Klatooinian was a throwback to Once Upon a Time in the West.

-Cade Bane = Angel eyes from Th Good band and The Ugly.

Oh and the actor who is the bartender from Freetown W. Earl Brown was in Deadwood with Timothy Olyphant =Cobb Vanth .

Then we move to gangsters. ​


My offer is nothing.... = Michael C in the Godfather

The bombing of Garsa Fwip’s Sanctuary was straight out of the Untouchables.

The flows like they are settling all family business.

It was the smart move....

Is the terms that the majordomo Twi'lek reads the first chapter in "The Book of Boba Fett"?

Of course the rancor was both Godzilla and King Kong.

Speaking of Apes.... Peli calls Grogu Bright Eyes. #planetoftheapes

Do it..... is what Boba tells the rancor just like Palpatine told Anakin when he killed Dooku.

Womp hop as unit of measure.

Ricksha Peili is in is the same as Anakin and Padmae in Attack of the Clones.

Did Cade Bane survive? He still has a plate in his head from their last encounter. Blinking light I bet he is alive.

Cobb Vanth in the batca tank. We will see him again in The Book of Fett.

I still think Crimson Dawn is going to show up and be behind all of the underworld stuff with Qi'ra as its leader. Perfect way to bring a superstar to the series.

My favorite is the scene were Fennec Shand kills everyone "The Professional' style sooooo Italian.

Like they say, there are only seven stories in the world.
 
So it's been mentioned that some didn't feel like Rosario Dawson looked enough like the animated Ahsoka. A friend of mine who was a big clone wars fan felt the same way. (Turns out he's got a bit of an Ahsoka fetish🤣)
So we talked for a while about it, and he had a few possible actresses who he thought would be more suitable for the role.
What about you guys? Who do you think, (besides the voice actress from clone wars), would have been a good choice?

I believe Filoni said they expressly went to Lee Van Cleef and that character.

Remember that scene from Ratatouille, when Ego takes that first bite, drops the spoon, his vision narrows to his childhood? When I saw Cad Bane, that was the experience I had, took me right back to sitting on the couch with my dad, watching The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

you mean maul as their leader
 
Maul is dead +/- 20 years at this point. Kenobi killed him in Rebels, before A New Hope.

See I don’t get the whole “paying homage” to classics. Write your own style. Don’t copy.

I seriously thought Godzilla was attacking when Boba rode his rancor into town. Before you could see it, the sound and style of only showing the back spikes was a ripoff. Not an homage. My brain was having a helluva time figuring out how they were gonna bring Godzilla into a Star Wars story.

Be influenced. That’s fine. But don’t copy.

I didn’t understand why he didn’t get his ship with what I assume are more powerful blasters. We had already established that he could maneuver it through the atmosphere when he took out the speeder bike gang.
