The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 4 - The Gathering Storm Episode Review 

Bomar monk monastery unlikely to have a designed garage for starships?

exactly, a Fett would never unlearn how to fly their Firespray

they literally said this in the episode lol. " I can't see a thing"

it was indeed very clear to me, that boba could fly, but he couldn't move or get out cause of the way his ship works

Aye

Even Fennec's line of "The sand people made you soft" addresses that, as if predictably.

...Do you watch Star Wars Fanatic? I think you would appreciate his stuff😄🤙

Lol when you say “first couple episodes” its funny to me that people forget we only have 2 episodes left. Very little has happened in this show so far. I still very much enjoy the show for what it is. Just I would’ve assumed a little more would happen. Still, love the pacing just wish it was longer

@@dylan10011998 Three, actually! This was the middle chapter out of seven. 🙂

Agree

I wouldn't call what Boba is building a crime syndicate as much as a feudal city state autocracy.

Also, the shot when the sarlacc “burps” in the special edition has no beak present. So in fact, it’s actually ironing out an inconsistency for it to have a retractable beak

@@Tom-bn6pr Omg you're right! Same goes for the CGI tentacles that were added in the SE. They also retract together with the beak!

You deserve top comment.

damn I dind't know that I always thought that beak was a little off

I much prefer the theatrical cuts but there are certain things the SE do better and the Sarlacc beak is one of them. I'm glad both work, because it just adds another layer of character to the Sarlacc.

And slightly disappointing since Gonks are supposed to be walking fusion reactors and so when a Gonk blows up they are supposed to REALLY Blow The Eff Up!

@@weldonwin it was a double/twin gonk too so I reckon the hangar and more would’ve become dust 😂

​@@weldonwin That was a P L U N K droid, instead of walking war-criminal batteries they carry fuel around, probably to commit more war crimes

Nice to show him dealing with failure, even having the victory of his ship back, it still doesn't get him what he desires. Not everything is MarySue for him.

It also shows how ferocious the Sarlac pit is and it's not a creature to underestimate.

Yeah, this was my 2nd favourite episode so far

100%

YES! Thank you.

Aye 🙏🏻👌🏻

Preach 🙌

Morons just can't let go of their myopic headcanon of what their idealized version of what their Fett should be. His reason to not work for idiots sounds like an appropriate attack on fandumbs.

your meat cleavers will make a fine addition to my collection

general cleavous, after some redditor

All hail General Cleavous

Your vibroblades will make a fine addition to my collection

Me too. Had to be intentional

Good catch.

@@acnash27 Not exactly a catch since it was pretty explicit.

Didn't even think about that but you are so right, she would recognize him as a clone

I suspect it's not much of a secret. By this point, Boba's name and reputation probably has a lot more meaning to it than his association with the clone army.

And all other surviving clones except possibly Omega has died to violence, accidents or accelerated aging.

I definitely noticed the lightsaber sound, but I couldn't immediately place what scene it was from.

The sound is also heard on Exegoll att the beginning of TROS

I’m hoping we see Vanth soon. It seemed like the flashback was setting it up, but since Boba doesn’t need the bacta tank any more, I’m not sure how it’ll work

It doesn't really need to be "solved". Vanth was putting out notice he needed help all over the area. It would have been easy for Fett to have heard about some dude with Mandalorian armor. We really don't need to have every little detail spelled out on screen.

Init it annoys me he's not getting the recognition he deserved . I freaked out when Thundercat appeared it was hype

I must ask who is Thundercat?

@@Zay9xx an amazing bass player/ music artist , his music is amazing ! and is such a cool person to listen to in interviews :)

I thought it was gonna be like a Snoop Dog cameo, so I'm not surprised its a music artist seems like the perfect fit for the role.

I thought that scene felt very out of place in Star Wars, but ended up enjoying it. With the characters and the music, it felt more like a scene from Cyberpunk. But like I said I came around on it, because why wouldn't there be a bunch of different "scenes" in Star Wars, not everything has to have the late 70s feel.

Especially as the table was set on the trap door grate with Bobas chair visiby on the solid floor...

Absolutely agree, best episode for me. The only thing I found bizarre was the Sarlacc scene, I loved everything else

@@pietropietro5466 must cook it to be it

Turd character referring to other turd characters. Yaaay.

@@totalrobot Thanks for that cerebral take.

Also, the ride Mod Scooters. Just wondering if there is a "Rocker" subculture to be their rivals

@@weldonwin well the speeder bike gang are obviously inspired by the rockers to some extent. At least that's what I thought. Part Biker Gang, Part rockers ...the leather jackets n all.

@@EzekielGarf same

Underrated comment

General Cleave-us

Aye 👍🏻

I loved seeing the flashbacks get us caught up to present time & hearing Mando's theme made me super excited to see Din Djarin again. Can't wait to see what Boba thinks of the Dark Saber!🤩 As for the kitchen scenes, loved the droids, got a huge laugh from them.😂

@@beanbag_3711 haha well there you have it!

I didn't like RoS and thought it threw out so much of what TLJ did, BUT I will admit, one of the few times IX did seem to respect what VIII did was placing emphasis on solidarity and the idea the every person coming together and banded is the only thing that can stop evil. Poe's speech that Zorii inspired and his exchange with Lando after Leia dies are great. I think it's very easy to imagine an Episode IX where Johnson's changes are mostly kept in tact (Rey Nobody, no Palpatine, no Final Order, light and dark coming together, stoic Luke, and Kylo going mad) where both of those scenes exist still in tact.

I did want the flashbacks to be showne less and more pressent day scenes. I didn't minde the flashbacks too much though. His storry with the tuskans explained his charecter and told the story of his new charecter development but I'm glad it was not focussed on that so much.

George made Starwars about stories and charecters from the beging. The pacing and charecter development with flashbacks is much closer to the classics. I have heard severall complaints about bad writing and ruining Boba's charecter in this show. You want bad rwiting? Look at the sequels. And what's rwong with Boba's charecter here? He is trying to do things diferent. Fenecc sed the sand people made him soft. Boba sed they made him strong. I agree. This has not ruinned his charecter. He oneley apeared in two movies. Four if we count the prequels and young Boba. So his charecter is not obvious. Some people oneley know of him in movies and maby some books and video games. His charecter is hardley as knowne as Luke' Liea or Han. i even have no problem with his eu charecter developing to this. If you still disagree with the show stop watching it and go finde a show you enjoy.

You might be right, but I think we will see a scene relating to Cob Vanth and the armor at least.

Yeah, its why he and HelloGreedo are the only Star Wars channels I really watch. Level headed, constructive, and very chill. In my experience most of the other Star Wars youtubers are overly opinionated and unnecessarily negative.

It made perfect sense. If you named your Chevy "Sally" and met someone else and asked them to help drive you back to your car, you wouldn't say, "drive me back to Sally". You would still say, "Drive me back to my Chevy" because then they'd know what to expect.

Maybe it rules out them meeting and working together directly, but he knew who she was and she knew who he was. I don't see why they can't show up in the same scene in Bad Batch, maybe something like the OT scene with Boba and the other bounty hunters reporting to Vader.

Boba wipl be dead of old age by the time the huttlet is mature so its all good

Yeah, he doesn't remember the Jawas robbing him, since he was kind of messed up at the time, so he goes back to the last place he remembers having it

Can you imagine Temuera Morrison playing all the Bad Batch characters?

@@l0ll3rc04st3r I just want to see him playing Wreaker

He was barely conscious when they mugged him, so it makes sense imo that he doesn’t remember it

I love the flashbacks but im so excited for present day lol i find myself happy with the flashbacks but wanting more presrnt day. I guess i wish the episodes were longet

I love both present day and flashbacks

assuming that it is him and not Mandalorians in general

Eh after what Boba did on Tython i think it's fair to shed the spotlight on Din just for the next episode, it'll make them even lol

@@darthvaderdylan It was his musical motif at the end, it would be very very odd if it wasn't him.

Yeah, a forever catch 22, damned if you do, damned if you dont 😅

i completely agree with that ranking so far. i’m unbelievably excited for the next episode after hearing that song at the end

I loved this episode, I'd probably rank them 4>2>3>1. I didn''t think Ep.3 was that bad (although it was definitely off), and I thought Ep.1 was way too short and kind of felt kind of worthless on its own (it should've been combined with Ep.2 for a long series premiere, like Bad Batch).

I personally won't rank the episodes until I have seen them all and can relate them to the entire "Book". Really love this series so far!

I thought he said "former bounty hunter", which was telling Krsantan that he was his own man.

he actually said "take it from an ex-bounty hunter", he's specifying that he's out the game and might have some wisdom to offer Krsantan who just got abandoned by his employer. I don't think they've forgotten or even retconned the comics at all, I think the way Boba and Krsantan's interactions are happening in the show, it allows for the best of both worlds. People who haven't read the comics and aren't aware of Krsantan outside this show can see their interactions as reasonable, Boba only knows this giant Wookiee as an immediate threat that he's dealing with by showing him respect and giving wisdom, the same was a boss in a company might try impart wisdom on someone lower down in the workchain even if they don't have a personal relationship. People who have read them can see their relationship as more layered, they've worked closely together a few years ago, probably have, or have had similar viewpoints and life experiences, but just like with Fennec, Boba is trying to convince this bounty hunter and there's more to life, they can be more than tools who get discarded, they're on opposite sides now yet Boba is reaching out with respect. And I like your idea that it was other sand people, might play into the subtheme of "when you try change what you are and try change the world around you, the world will react negatively". I like Boba as a crime lord, but maybe him learning that he's only doing more harm than good with convince him to take his future endeavours off-world. Getting increasingly tired of Tatooine

Its Legends now, but I recall one character, a former Imperial fighter pilot, from a highborn family, who lost his leg in combat. He's actually ashamed of his prosthetic leg when another character discovers it and he explains that in the core worlds, Cyborgs are looked down on. It makes sense to me that The Mods, are rejecting those Core Worlds attitudes, not only getting cybernetics, but making them obvious, taking pride on their modifications.

Aurra Sing is dead by this point. The rest would be great, though Cad Bane and Boba hate each other so not sure there.

@@Orthus100 fair, though I feel like if they can retcon Black Krrsantan and Boba working together, they can retcon two characters statuses.

Oh that would’ve been cool, that definitely should’ve happened

that was the gate to the hanger, which is different from the gate to the main entrance. we saw that in previous episodes and it did open correctly.
