Delivers One of the Most Thematically Rich Stories to DateIn "The Tribes of Tatooine," Boba Fett finds kinship and purpose with the Tuskens as the Hutts threaten his claim on Mos Espa in the present.

Following a more subdued premiere, The Book of Boba Fetts Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine, delivered one of the best and most thematically rich episodes of Star Wars television to date. The episode opens on Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) interrogating their new prisonera member of the Order of the Night Wind. Under the fear of being eaten by a Rancor that no longer exists, the assassin reveals that he was sent by the Mayor, which leads Boba and Fennec on a bit of a wild goose chase.
The duo head into Mos Espa to get an audience with the Mayor, much to the chagrin of his Majordomo (David Pasquesi). Moz Shaiz (voiced by Robert Rodriguez) has the assassin killed and pays Boba off like hes hauled in a bounty, whichperhaps to the surprise of fansprompts Boba to announce that he isnt a bounty hunter. At least, not anymore. Moz Shaiz offers Boba some sage advice about ruling before sending them on their way to question Garsa Fwip (Jennifer Beals) about the assassin. At the Sanctuary, conversations about assassins are quickly forgotten when Fwip reveals that Jabba the Hutts cousins have come to Tatooine to lay claim to their cousins palace. But this wasnt a tease for a later episode. Beyond the Sanctuary, drums are heard, heralding the arrival of the twin Hutts.
All of this takes place over the course of the first 14 minutes of a whopping 50-minute episodeclocking it in as one of the longest episodes of Star Wars television to date. From there, the remainder of the episode is focused on Boba Fetts time with the Tuskens and his evolution as a person. It lays the groundwork for who he is as a leader in the present: someone willing to find a way to work together, rather than attacking when first provoked. Without his armor or his ship, Boba Fett is forced to be reborn as a new person in the most literal sense of the phrase.
For the majority of Boba Fetts canon existence, he has been cast as a ruthless, bloodthirsty, and violent bounty hunter who is willing to do whatever his employer requests. George Lucas prequel era films and the subsequent Clone Wars animated series made strides to remind audiences that he was once a little boy who lost his father, but it wasnt until The Book of Boba Fett (and by extension, his reintroduction in The Mandalorian) that this has become thematically important for who he is as a character.

(10,659 posts)1. "Dances With Tuskens"
Husband and I called it "Dances with Tuskens". I mean, I like them delving into the background of the Sandpeople. But, "Dances With Wolves" in the Star Wars Universe?
It was a pretty good episode, though. It's not grabbing me like "The Mandalorian" did.
