I have not read the thread till now, just finished the last episode I liked both the Mandalorian and Boba Fett  for fun, I try to ignore the lack of realism in the show.  I saw star wars on the opening day and I am still a fan.  Things not to be in the star wars universe  1) droids you get little or no respect and are easily killed off 2) stormtroopers how the hell the empire became an empire is beyond me with an army like that, can't shoot, which can add some humor as they showed but makes them useless and when the good guys go up against them there is no suspense you know nothing will happen. Their armor is as useless as they are. One shot one kill, the armor does nothing but impedes them, hell even a stick can smash through it.(as shown) 3) Gamoreian Guards poor pig things have no chance and no one morns them. 
   
Things that bothered me in the last episode, First I am not a military leader, But I know that cover is your friend. the stupid fish people kept standing in the open and even when they had the high ground they would just stand up and get shot, meanwhile the mods and Freetown troopers  hide behind a mud wall which stops all shots from the big robot thing, which is also useless and does nothing.   The Black Wookie who is cool (and I had to look up his back story not the nicest guy)  gets stabbed, beaten, shot numerous times and  limps towards Boba Fetts crew bloody and injured so they go out and help him to cover.  in the next scene he is running away the the crew and looks fine. How did Boba Fett fly back to the palace get the Rancor and get back that quick so many more.   but I still enjoyed it

It was alright as a series.  Definitely more Star Wars than the new films.  The episodes with Mando were the best, although his new ship is silly for his chosen profession.

I think Fett was overall, not ruthless enough.  For a man Vader singled out, he solved far too few problems with a gun.  Oh, and the mods were just silly.

Otherwise it worked.  The end battle was very much 'space opera', right down to King Kong climbing a tower angrily swatting at flying things.  Great it was not, and weaker than the Mandalorian, but enjoyable with some good characters (enjoyed seeing Cobb Vanth return and Agent May-turned assassin seems to be a riff on John Wayne, only plays one role but you enjoy it).
On time, on target, or the next one's free

Between Mando1 & 2 , Bobba's Book and having rediscovered Blakes 7 on Sat TV I have now enough Stargrave scenario ideas to last me 20 years : : lol
Enjoyed watching all the  Bobba episodes especially the last one as the freetown militia arrive on a skimmer I have a 3d print of.

Kind regards from a windswept SW England.

Well, after watching the finale a few more times it's actually growing on me  :)

Still think Ep 5 is my fav though.

Time to get my old Mos Vegas buildings out and re-vamp them  lol
