Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Scorpenek Annihilator Droids are based on concept art considered for the Battle Droid armies in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) as advanced forms of the Destroyer Droids. While they did exist in the Expanded Universe, this is the first time they've actually been featured in a story, canon or otherwise. In-Universe they were created by the Colicoids, a race of highly intelligent but vicious insect-like aliens who created the Destroyer Droids for the Trade Federation and would also make the Tri-Fighters for the Separatists.
- GoofsWhen Black Krrsantan returns to the cantina, he is already limping, then gets shot into the knee and can't stand without help. Shortly after that, he is running down the street.
- Crazy creditsThe song, "The Book of Boba Fett," played at the beginning of the end credits for each episode was updated for the season one finale. The words "Fett," and "Boba Fett," can be heard chanted by the choir, replacing the generic rhythmic vocalizations heard in episodes 1-6.

Featured review
A mess of spectacle and characters, but my 6 year old loved it
Cad Bane and the Pyke Syndicate attack Mos Espa.
Generally I think it is a disappointing end to the show and mixes clichéd action sequences with uninspired scenes of dialogue. However, I cannot deny it contains plenty of entertainment for those who prioritise spectacle.
Although good, the previous two episodes deviated hugely from the Tatooine story, and it killed most of the momentum building up to this conflict. As a result I have very little investment in what happens to Boba or any of the characters here, outside of the Mandalorian and one other. I also think it suffers from too many characters being involved. I think it would have been better focusing on less individuals and improving the quality of their contributions.
I think several of the dialogue heavy opening expositions explain too much. Do we really need someone to tell us the entire plan upfront? Filmmakers should show it in a series of reveals as opposed to one big information dump. Speaking of reveals, the Tusken related dialogue should never have been included so early as it lessens the impact of the later conversation between Fett and Bane.
I think the visuals are a mixed bag. The cinematography, effects and art design, as ever, are brilliant, but the general flow of it I found to be a bit messy. There are contrivances galore to bring about certain confrontations between characters and allow characters to save others. One character randomly disappears for a period of time and conveniently appears for a 'cinematic' showdown. Lots of baddies shoot blasters but cannot hit a barn door with a banjo. It also uses one of my pet hates: slow motion strutting. There are a few sequences I like that involve tributes to classic movies, but I won't spoil plot by mentioning specifics.
Unfortunately many comments on IMDB seem to demonise one director based on speculation about creative decisions made during the production. For me the biggest problems are in the writing, particularly relating to the volume of characters, lack of focus and the development of Boba Fett. There is only so much a director can do with weak material.
Ending on a positive, my 6 year old daughter enjoyed every minute of it so I think it deserves an extra point for holding her for the duration. That is usually a sign of decent visual storytelling.
