Jon and Dave understand what made Star Wars click and after the Disney movies, except for Rogue One, we needed the force more than ever...and man were our prayers answered. TBOBF fully commits to the Western genre even more than The Mandalorian did but here we follow Boba Fett's rise as the crime lord of the Outer Rim. Although I personally think the first episode could've been executed a tad bit better there is no denying that this feels like proper Star Wars and I'd be lying if I said I didn't cheer when Boba escaped the Sarlacc pit or when he strangled that prequels looking monster in the desert. The flash backs were to highlight of episode one as we see Boba's journey after escaping the Sarlacc from being stripped of his armor left for dead to becoming a slave to the Tuscan Raiders to gaining the respect of the tribe leader, goes to show they are not as hostile as Episode IV would lead you to think. The main reason I have this show as an 8 is because it still has room to spread it's wings and the quality of the first episode has me real optimistic about the future of this show. Keep up the great work Jon and Dave, the fandom is by your side.
