The Book of Boba Fett
Season 1 Chapter 1

Darry: 2/5
Brian: 2/5
Title: “Stranger in a Strange Land”
Directed by: Robert Rodriguez
Written by: Jon Favreau
Release Date: December 29, 2021
Summary
Boba Fett barely escapes from the sarlacc that swallowed him and is left for dead by Jawas who steal his Mandalorian armor. He is captured by Tusken Raiders and fails to escape their camp. Sometime later, Fett and Fennec Shand have taken control of the Hutts’ criminal empire on Tatooine, including Jabba’s Palace. They receive tribute from local business owners and gain the services of two Gamorrean guards. Fett and Shand visit the Sanctuary, a cantina in Mos Espa run by Garsa Fwip, who also offers a tribute. Outside the cantina, the group is ambushed by assassins who they fight off. Shand captures one of the assailants after pursuing them across the rooftops. The guards take an injured Fett to the palace and place him in a bacta tank for healing. Fett has a flashback to his time with the Tuskens: he and a Rodian captive were forced to dig for water in the desert until they were attacked by a large sand creature that killed the Rodian. Fett killed the creature, saving a Tusken child who took the creature’s head back to camp as a trophy. The tribe’s chieftain then offered water to Fett.
Season 1 Chapter 2

Darry: 2.5/5
Brian: 2/5
Title: “The Tribes of Tatooine”
Directed by: Steph Green
Written by: Jon Favreau
Release Date: January 5, 2022
Summary
Fett and Shand interrogate the captured assassin who claims to have been hired by Mok Shaiz, the Mayor of Mos Espa. Shaiz denies this but offers payment to Fett for capturing the assassin and suggests that they visit the Sanctuary again. Fwip informs Fett that two of Jabba’s cousins, a pair of Hutts known as “The Twins,” want to claim Jabba’s throne for themselves. The Twins arrive with the Wookiee bounty hunter Black Krrsantan and try to intimidate Fett, but he refuses to submit. In the bacta tank, Fett remembers the Tuskens teaching him their style of combat and desert survival skills. After the tribe was attacked by a Pyke Syndicate spice train, Fett stole some speeders from a nearby gang and taught the Tuskens how to ride them. He led the tribe in a successful attack to stop the train and warned the surviving Pykes that they would have to pay a toll to enter the Tuskens’ territory in the future. To be admitted into the Tusken tribe, Fett was guided by a lizard inside his head to a branch, which he turned into his own gaffi stick. The tribe then held a ceremony to accept him.
