He also might not be wrong about Grogu’s heart. “So much like your father,” Ahsoka replies, which seems rude, honestly, but Luke takes it in stride. “Sometimes I wonder if his heart is in it,” he says moments later. “It’s more like he’s remembering than I’m actually teaching him,” he tells Ahsoka. The training continues (and continues some more) via a montage sequence that pays homage to The Empire Strikes Back by putting Grogu in a backpack as Luke moves through the wilderness, only this time it’s Luke doing the instructing. “The galaxy is a dangerous place,” Luke tells him. (It really is striking how much Grogu’s Jedi training resembles dog training, at least at this point.)Īfter that, Luke (played by Mark Hamill, who’s been de-aged even more convincingly than in his Mandalorian cameo), takes Grogu for a walk and talks to him about Yoda before assisting in remembering his past, a process that lands on a traumatic memory of an even tinier Grogu witnessing the slaughter of Jedi at the hands of Imperial troopers.

He’s picked up the skills to make them float directly to his mouth and the discipline to stop himself from snacking on them. Luke and Grogu’s training appears to be progressing steadily as evidenced by Grogu’s restraint when it comes to eating the many frogs surrounding him. And she makes a pretty good case, apparently, or at least one persuasive enough to prompt Mando to leave the armor he had made for the little guy behind before returning to Tatooine. Using more direct language than R2, she, too, wants him away from approaching Grogu directly, fearing their attachment will be a distraction from Grogu’s training.

(Sadly, we know how this turns out, but it looks nice at the moment.) He’s not alone for long, joined by Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), who’s hanging out in Luke and Grogu’s general vicinity. Upon landing, he meets up with R2-D2, who plays coy about the location of Luke Skywalker and Mando’s erstwhile companion, essentially inviting him to chill while watching a bunch of antlike droids build what’s destined to be Luke’s school for Jedi.

Meanwhile, far, far away, the Mandalorian tries to check in on Grogu. Cobb’s isn’t the sort of town that has room for such stuff. Though the Pyke tells him “it’s worth more than your town,” Cobb dumps it into the sand.

With the efficiency that’s allowed him to keep the peace in Mos Pelgo (or Freetown, if you prefer), he takes out some spice-running members of the Pyke Syndicate, letting one go free to tell the tale of his misadventures but keeping his spice shipment as tribute. However, we begin on Tatooine with a visit to an old friend from The Mandalorian: Cobb Vanth, played by the always welcome Timothy Olyphant.

It’s an all-over-the-place installment filled with moments that suggest adventures to come as if the TV Star Wars wing was already looking past Boba Fett and his book. Many of the other scenes, however, seem to be setting up something else. Maybe at its heart, The Book of Boba Fett was really just setting up a finale that pays homage to The Seven Samurai in keeping with Star Wars’ Kurosawa roots.

Remember him? We spent a bunch of time watching his post– Return of the Jedi, pre- Mandalorian backstory with the Tuskens, who were central to this series until they disappeared from it? That scene - which finds Boba, Shand, the Mods, Krrsantan, the mayor’s assistant, a Gamorrean, and a late-arriving Mandalorian gathered around a map of what’s about to become a war zone - sets up a finale pitting Boba and the gang against the Pyke Syndicate in a battle for Mos Espa (and Tatooine in general). The sixth and penultimate episode of The Book of Boba Fett features one scene with Boba Fett. If last week’s episode left you confused about what show you were watching, there’s a good chance this week only deepened that confusion.
