  • 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.

  • Thank you so much for joining us, Kristin.

  • Where can people find "This Week in Star Wars"?

  • You can tune in every Thursday on starwars.com and the Star

  • Wars YouTube channel.

  • Thank you both so much for having me.

  • This was a blast of seismic-charge proportions.

  • We are so happy to have you, Kristin.

  • Be sure to stream "The Book of Boba Fett" now on Disney+.
