Season 1 Episode 5 is out. No spoilers until Saturday.

No spoilers, but this one is going to blow up in the media. If you don't want to be spoiled, stay off the Internet. I recommend seeing it ASAP.

My jaw dropped about 6 minutes in after the title card.

THAT was not something I had expected to see in the Star Wars franchise..

Mixed feelings about this epsiode. More on Sat.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

I enjoyed Episode 5.
No spoilers about it.

Episode 1-4 thoughts
Shouldn't boba have been younger or digitally de-aged in the flashbacks? Or did he spend like.. years inside the sarlak?
The character of boba fett seems very empty now that they're trying to actually make him a character.
I don't feel any enthusiasm for the character in the writing. And the rainbow biker gang doesn't feel like they fit in.

Boba should only be in his early 40s. 10 years old in E2, +3 years old in E3, +23 years in E6, +5 years in Mandalorian/BoBF gives us 41 (roughly).

Yeah, Temuera Morrison doesn't look early 40's, he does look close to his age to me.

MANDO!!! This was essentially Mandolorian Season 3 Episode 1.

I'm not sure what I think about the space slaughterhouse. I'm guessing most of it was a virtual set. They got away with a minimum amount of sci fi cues, mainly the white tiles with black grout, some radiused doorways and windows, and a blueish cast to the lighting. And lots of aliens, of course.

Seems like most of the overtly sci fi elements were virtual, while most of the practical props and furniture were contemporary, and kept plain enough not to give off any real vibe of their own.

The slaughterhouse boss, Kaba Baiz, gave off really strong Brion James vibes to me, though the actor/stuntman playing him looks nothing like the late Brion James.

THAT was not something I had expected to see in the Star Wars franchise..

Yeah, a ringworld! Though it was a pretty small one, around ten blocks wide, and probably several hundred kilometers around.

I'm just disappointed with all the reactors going "Halo! Halo! Halo!" whereas I am sitting there: "Won't somebody at least reference Larry Niven?!"

Loved epsiode 5, but it made me want more Mandalorian episodes instead. Having a whole episode focused on Djin Darren in a Boba Fett show felt indulgent.

:) If it's any consolation I've read most of Niven, and never played Halo.

So, a spoiler has dropped, in the form of the cast listing for Episode 7 of BOBF on IMDB.

Don't follow the link if you don't want to be spoiled. And I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. It's possible this is some kind of mistake.

I only see three names, two of them are main characters and the third is no surprise. Did your list have more? It's possible they accidentally wrote the guest characters and then quickly went "oh shit" and pruned the entire list except those 3
