Boba Fett reflects on events after his escape from Sarlacc.
This is a reasonably good start to the show, that partially sets up the premise, but it's very early to judge how it will go as an overarching narrative and fit into the franchise.
The best aspect of it for me was the opening sequence. It is exposition, like the majority of the episode, but is done in a strong visual way and answers some obvious questions about the character. There are more questions to be answered about what led him to his current position, so hopefully we get something memorable in the journey.
I found the general pace and feel of it similar to The Mandalorian. Fett has slightly more personality as a lead character, given that you see his face, but Temuera Morrison did not really have much to do other than fight, act tough and look as if he's been through the wringer.
Star Wars fans should like the fan service and references to the movies as there are plenty.
Visually it is great and as you would expect contains plenty of well used landscapes and backdrops in its presentation of Tatooine. The action sequences are well done, but you come to expect this from Disney.
Overall I think it's a 6.5/10 but I round upwards.
