X-Wing flying New Republic Space Cops for the win though…. When can we get that series?

Finally caught up with the latest episode and I really enjoyed it - but then this is basically just an episode of The Mandalorian!

Ugh...

Ok, trying to "like" Boba, but many comments just keep reminding me that I want him to be something other than what Disney has neutered him into becoming. I think it would have been nice to have Star Wars Goodfellas. Maybe someone, someday, will get that right. If we get a spinoff of Darth Maul finding his inner happiness and leading through inspiration and acceptance of others as they are, I'll likely set fire to my TV.  lol

Naboo fighter: They weren't all that cool before, and with the additional mods I didn't like it more. Never mind that it is almost entirely impractical for a bounty hunter. What was the purpose of the little bubble behind the cockpit? Grogu? The head of the person he hunted? You can't bring anything back alive, and you have no cargo space. This is like telling someone that owns a delivery service that you have a sweet crotch rocket motorcycle to replace their delivery van. I hope this is a short-lived thing.

X-Wing Cops: As a comedic spinoff I would be down for something that looked like Reno 911 in space. I think Star Trek Lower Decks has done a good job lampooning the Trek universe, and X-Wing Cops could do well pursuing the same thing. I'd watch that.

Halo... Where were Master Chief and Cortana?  :?

My final thought is that it is weird to have an entire episode of Boba where Boba isn't even around. I mean, he doesn't even show up in the final scene to recruit Din? Don't get me wrong, I loved seeing Din again. I miss the Mandalorian and Boba hasn't come close to scratching that itch. But, the titular character couldn't make an appearance? I don't get it.

Corran Horn is probably getting cold chills down his spine about it.

But Donut squadron seems like something that the Wraiths might use for cover at some point...though that tends to be tamer than a good chunk of their antics.

Womp rats and Beggar's Canyon ... if that's not a punch in the nostalgia nuts I don't know what is.

The best episode of "The Book of Boba Fet" until now, in my opinion. They could left Boba in his Bacta tank and continue with Mando from here...

If anybody doesn't finish watching ep 6 with a big, cheesy grin they ain't human.

Wow, Episode 6 was special.

If you've not watched The Clone Wars, I can imagine a question or two arising.

Getting a Magnificent Seven vibe now.

Difficult to say. Weequay looked rather peeved (giving the impression he might do something) but I don’t know if Faverau would want to take a more leading role.

I liked Cad, very menacing. Same with Asoka, not cartoony at all

I have a hunch that baby yoda will pick the gift. Luke will take him to see Din and all hell will break loose on Tatooine  :D
