Today, we're running through some of the coolest moments
from "The Book of Boba Fett" brought to you by LG OLED.
Life's good.
We're watching all these scenes in Filmmaker Mode
on our LG OLED TV to get the full experience.
And here to join us is Kristin Baver, host
of "This Week in Star Wars."
Welcome to the show, Kristin.
Hi, Andre. Hi, Jenny.
Thanks for having me.
Kristin, what did you think of the new series?
I loved it.
I became a huge Boba Fett fan when we
saw him in "The Mandalorian."
And this just really catapults it to the next level.
Yes, and we got a lot of answers to our questions
that we've been holding onto for quite some time.
ANDRE MEADOWS: Yep.
So let's dive into "The Book of Boba Fett."
Let's do it.
ANDRE MEADOWS: I'm not sure about y'all, but the scene
where Fennec Shand chases the assassin
to the rooftops of Tatooine had my heart racing.
Definitely.
After Boba Fett and Fennec are ambushed in the streets
of Tatooine, Fennec embarks on an epic chase
to find out who ordered the ambush.
And she finally catches one of the assassins.
Which leads us to one of the moments
that I found most exciting, the rancor pit reveal.
Boba and Fennec questioned the captured assassin
in attempt to find out who gave his orders, but no dice.
To get him to talk, they drop him into the rancor pit,
which scares him into confessing that it
was the mayor who sent him.
What the assassin doesn't know is that there's
no rancor after all.
Talk about mind games.
Next up, we have the introduction of the twin Hutts.
You might remember that Boba Fett is sitting
on Jabba the Hutt's throne.
So of course, his cousins show up to stake their claim.
See, this is why they want you to arrive on a litter
in the Star Wars universe.
It looks so regal.
And bonus moment, we get a quick peek at Krrsantan.
This had my heart pounding.
It's the hover train heist.
ANDRE MEADOWS: Talk about action-packed.
After being attacked from the hover train,
Boba Fett with the help of the Tusken Raiders
executes an epic plan to stop the train in its tracks.
KRISTIN BAVER: I love seeing these moments because Boba Fett
is not only gaining the trust of the Tusken Raiders,
but also learning new skills himself.
And then we get a truly epic fight
between Boba and Krrsantan.
ANDRE MEADOWS: Boy, oh, boy, can Krrsantan fight.
The towering Wookiee is a truly fearsome opponent,
and Boba Fett is almost bested.
Luckily, Fennec's quick thinking lands
Krrsantan in the rancor pit.
But don't count this former gladiator out yet.
Later in the episode, Boba lets Krrsantan go free
after the Hutt twins apologize.
Next, we get an epic sequence where Boba steals
a ship back from Jabba's palace in hopes
of retrieving his armor.
KRISTIN BAVER: After dealing with some unruly kitchen droids
and a whole lot of guards, Boba and Fennec work together
to commandeer the iconic ship.
ANDRE MEADOWS: Chapter 5 takes us on a different journey
as viewers get to follow the escapades of none
other than Din Djarin himself, the Mandalorian.
KRISTIN BAVER: Mando heads back to Tatooine to see if Peli
Motto has a ship for him.
Instead of a Razor Crest, she offers
a classic N-1 Starfighter-- but there's a catch.
He'll have to help fix it up, which
shouldn't be a problem thanks to some creative Jawas
and a helpful BD droid.
JENNY LORENZO: Which brings us to our next
exhilarating moment, Mando testing
out his newly tricked-out N1.
Seems to me like a pretty good upgrade.
KRISTIN BAVER: Next up is a training montage
of adorable proportions as we get
to see Grogu learn the ways of the Force from Luke Skywalker.
Jedi training isn't easy for the little one.
But remember, size matters not.
ANDRE MEADOWS: Back in Freetown, there's a chill in the air
as Cobb Vanth is confronted by the one
and only legendary bounty hunter, Cad Bane.
What an intense scene.
KRISTIN BAVER: Just before the credits roll,
Grogu is faced with a choice.
Master Luke offers him a lightsaber, which
means training with the Jedi, or Mandalorian chainmail, reuniting
him with those he loves.
Only Grogu can choose his destiny.
What a conundrum!
ANDRE MEADOWS: In chapter 7 of "The Book of Boba Fett,"
we finally get to see Boba and Mando
in action, teaming up to fight the Pyke
Syndicate in an epic battle.
When it seems like all hope is lost,
Boba Fett emerges on his pet rancor, going head-to-head
with his old friend, Cad Bane.
It was a confrontation we've been waiting to see.
And oh, man, was it worth it.
JENNY LORENZO: Boba prevails, and the daimyo
remains on Mos Espa with Fennec Shand and his new team
by his side.
Meanwhile, Mando and Grogu make the leap into hyperspace
and take off for new adventures.
Wow, so many great moments from this series.
