Despite initial skepticism — and complaints that the first episode of the much-hyped series was “disappointingly short” — fans online are loving the 52-minute second episode of the latest live-action Star Wars series.
This is a spoiler free zone, but for those unfamiliar with The Book of Boba Fett, which stars Temuera Morrison (Boba Fett) and Ming-Wen (Fennec Shand), the series picks up immediately after the duo stormed Jabba the Hutt’s former palace and killed Bib Fortuna (Michael Carter) in The Mandalorian Season 2 finale episode post credits scene.
Fett is now operating as Daimyo in the Tatooine town of Mos Espa, learning how to work with others for the first time in his legendary bounty hunting career. Favreau recently noted:
“Although Boba Fett is a very experienced bounty hunter, he’s not experienced at running a criminal syndicate or managing forces. He’s not normally a newcomer. He’s an expert as we see him in most areas. But in this case, he’s trying to transition to another position.”
Twitter user Dozza kicked things off with a bold statement, calling the newest live-action Star Wars show “more compelling” than Favreau and Dave Filoni’s hit series The Mandalorian:
Book of Boba Fett is pretty damn great, more compelling than Mando atm tbh

I was in the minority who already liked the first Episode of the Book of Boba Fett, and this second episode just proves it to me. Just a fantastic episode and direction to go, and I can’t wait toll the next one
