This episode was a masterpiece! The storytelling, the lore, the Tusken Raiders culture, the bond Boba has with the Tusken Raiders, everything was incredible! Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen are phenomenal together. I can’t wait for the next 5 Wednesdays!

Not only did Black K look great, I think this is the best that *any* Wookiee has ever looked

Remember that Din traded the new binocs for safe passage when hunting Fennec? I wonder if they’ll go back to camp and tell everyone “This guy dressed like a tin can gave us them.” and Boba goes to find them, finds Fennec instead.

With how easily it is for Banthas to be killed it’s not wonder the phrase “Bantha fodder” is a thing in this franchise. lol

Massive props to 61 year old Temuera Morrison. He's killing it in the action scenes.

I like to think that after Boba left Tosche Station, everyone just went, "Was that a batshit crazy clone?!"

I got teary when they were putting on the robes and he was making his own weapon and the music ahhh... Beautiful episode.

ohhh you just KNOW that Galaxy’s Edge will now include a Gaffi stick making workshop

The Gaffi stick is also a real weapon in the Fijian culture called a totokia...it nice to see Polynesian cultures like Maori and Fijian have influence in these shows

this episode was S-tier content. The score, the cinematography, the story, acting and ofc sound design all perfection. Really shows how good smth can be if the right people work on it

That little lizard that gives Boba his vision quest is interesting to me. I feel confident in saying it’s Force-Sensitive, which would make it another cool way that cultures have their own way of interacting with Force, like the Lasats with the Ashla, or like in the "Village Bride" Visions short, which is something I always like to see.

this was my favorite episode of all time because of tuskens and understanding their culture it was touching...it was beautiful

I also audibly gasped and shouted "Black Krrsantan!" That was such a good surprise

I love how deep they went into the Tusken lore, from mentioning how Tatooine once had oceans to the trip to get the wood for his gaffi stick. The ritualism and the ceremony was fantastic, and really built more on the Tuskens as a cool nomadic people with their own culture like in KOTOR or in The Mandalorian, as opposed to them just being portrayed as screaming savages in the New Hope, Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. I can't wait to see more of the Tuskens, especially that badass warrior (she kicks all kinds of ass) and the Chieftan.

About that female Tusken Warrior - she ws played by Joanna Bennett, a famous stunt woman. She apparently was a double for Gal Gadot, Brie Larson and a lot of others. She nailed every second in that ep. It is epic that the baddest Tusken is a female, man. And that gaffi stick piece when you said that they're made with so much ceremonial flare and they use them to clean their banthas teeth - it reminded me about what I read about dogs in Native American cultures, mostly Santee Dakota. They were used as a carrier and drag animals but also as a sacrificial feast on very special occasions (like warriors going on a warpath consumed some dog meat as a sign of faithfullness and trust on the war party leader) in some tribes, especially before NA started to use horses as their main mean of transport. So the ceremony and the most common stuff often goes hand in hand in the native cultures. And for that I love this and the Mandalorian, cause these shows made Tuskens much more badass and worth exploring more, for me at least cause I am into tribal stuff like that.

Having relatives in New Zealand and having the fortune and pleasure of visiting there, I've seen the Maori perform their traditional dances. I definitely see the influence in this episode with the Tusken people. Never shall they merely be called "sand people" ever again! I love this episode! ❤️

It's evident that the people making this show love Star Wars and all its lore, culture, mysticism. Really cool to see.

I read the Darth Vader comics and instantly recognised that wookie, great idea to meld stuff from elsewhere. Favreau and Filoni have a grand plan

FANTASTIC Episode! The Tusken Warrior is listed as Joanna Bennett who seems to be known as a stunt woman and actress for stunt doubling in Aquaman, Captain Marvel and many others, she is Badass!!! Maybe that tree was like the “ancestors” of the Tuskens, it seem to have eyes all around it kinda like the tree in Black Panther maybe. And maybe that was his consciousness merging with the Tusken collective spirituality? It was very cool! Sooooo glad that we are learning more about the Tuskens! Plus the episode shows how Boba is learning how to rule with respect. Love it and love your reaction!

Black Karrsantan appearance Boba Fett being a King of the Underworld Boba Fett becoming a War Chief(the black garbs) The Tuskan Raiders are a culture and has deep roots. Boba Fett is looking good.

I know it was over 50 minutes but I still wanted more!! This episode was amazing. Seeing the Hutts, Black Krrsantan, the Pykes & more of Jango Fett's Slave I was unexpected and fantastic!! Seeing more of the lore about the Tuskens gives me a whole new perspective about them.

This Episode was AMAZING I cant belive we are getting Black K in live action! Over all this episode just really felt like Star Wars!

My man was MVP in a multi-stage raid quest with no armor and level 1 tutorial weapons I'm really sad to see this little 'Boba Fett: Lord of the Sand' arc come to an end, hope these flashback adventures keep up

Where was Fennec while Cobb was marshaling it up? Probably recovering from dying with a new cyborg stomach, learning how to dig for black melons, teaching that dark Tusken some assassin moves. Maybe all the above.

17:26- The Chieftess, considering she stands next to the Chief both in this episode and the previous one.

I love watching you guys because I'm only a casual fan so to see the fandom talk about Star Wars sounds like a foreign language to me. But it's cool because I'm learning so much and it's turning me into a legit fan!

You guys are awesome. You are the ones I always go to due to your vast knowledge of Star Wars. Not that many people knew who Black Krrsantan was when he showed up.

Honestly before people go on and hate the series after watching the first episode, this episode tell people to shut it, sit, watch it and enjoy. We still have more to go. Honestly this episode was my favorite 10/10

i seriously cant get over this episode!!! they expanded on so much and gave everything room to breathe, and never could have i predicted that we'd see BLACK K HIMSELF in live action in this show

Awesome, this episode blew me away. Props to your knowledge about our Māori culture bro.

Duuude, we said and caught almost the exact same things in each of our reactions! I am beyond satisfied with this episode. And I love that boba breaking the branches surrounding him was a metaphorical pair to him escaping the sarlacc, and then forging his new weapon from it. Literally making what he's been through into his greatest strength as he is reborn into this tusken tribe. Adds a whole nother level of savagery to his character.

Trough all of the Tuskan scenes I was thinking "the Last Samurai". This episode was so good, I love seeing the Tuskans portrayed as an actual people.

I love it that you're one of the very few that recognized Black Krrsantan. Also, "Long Speeder" is how I'm gonna call every irl train from now on.

I love the detail that the Gaderffii sticks are burnt at both ends to temper them and make them durable, just like real Maasai war clubs.

The astronaut analogy? Dude, spot on! He is an outsider, on a planet so different from his own and intergrating with a culture so different. I cried during, and im still crying watching the reaction videos. As a Cook Islander who was raised and still lives in NZ, the indigenous plot that underlines this episode, hits way too close to home. Im glad that Tem is a representative of this culture and this episode reflects that.

Your knowledge of the lore is astounding. I always thought I knew the most lore out of all my friends and yet here I learn so much watching y’all

"Is he making a little zen garden?" No, he's combing the desert.

I Love the transformation of Boba. The visions tell us that he’s been chasing after his father’s shadow his entire life, now he’s finding himself. I’m starting to believe that Boba wants to rule Tatooine for the Sand People. Give them power and ancestral right over the Dune Sea.

Dude I tip my hat to you. You are an encyclopedia of Star Wars nerdom. Learning who lots of these new characters are from you, made this episode even better. Cheers

The train...it's gone to ludicrous speed...holy shit

I'm sorry but those drum beats looming over the town the moment after they were literally just discussing the twins and the reveal of Black K was so fucking cool.

That’s so cool ! I didn’t know that Wookie was from a comic series and also had no idea that was tosche station and Luke’s friends. I knew those places existed and I knew there was a deleted scene at tosche with Luke and his friends but ive only seen it so many times I don’t have them memorized by face. And im so happy you guys appreciated the ending as much as I did. It felt so intimate and such an honor to see. It actually made me cry a bit and it was so cool to see a simple weapon from the original trilogy be given a history and meaning 😭

I love that several of us are freaking out on Black Krrsantan appearing and noticing some The Last Samurai feels when Boba is practicing with his gaffi stick. Love it!

Last samurai vibes for days

when the guys were shooting off the train and hitting the Bantha, it reminds me of the accounts of settlers shooting Buffalo on trains and various plans to rid the Americas of Natives

this was the best overall reaction for episode 2.. ive watched them all

I like Boba's time with the Tuskens. In his entire history he has never really belonged anywhere. He never grew up or belonged to the Mandos and as soon as he could use his father's armor that became his identity for most of his life. Now he's stripped of it and had to build himself up because he can't rely on his armor anymore.

imagine Kenobi comes in with Tuskens who're like "urc urc" *shakey stick* after Book of Boba has finished...

This chapter had it all!!! New characters, new modern story coupled with his backstory, and awesome action!! Incredible!

I won’t lie I started humming “Prince Ali” as the drums proceeding the Twins’ procession were playing 😂

This gives whole new meaning to the phrase lizard brain.

For the first time ever I actually like Boba Fett as a character, not just as a cool looking background character. I loved him in Clone Wars also, but this series is really changing him and making him an interesting and awesome character.

I LOVE the costume design with the Tuskens. They've found cool little details that makes every one unique.

Fixer and Cammie, Luke’s good friends are the two love birds at the bar when Fett bust some butt and took their speeders. They are from episode 4 a new hope the original deleted scenes back in 1977!If these two are there I expect Luke to show up in later episodes and face Boba Fett! Ooooh hellll!

Fantastic episode and love the character development, especially with the Tuskens and digging deeper into their culture and expanding on it! Fascinating! Also, Black K!!! Which gives me hope for seeing live action Aphra. I have a couple of theories on the Tusken tribe: 1) I have a feeling they will come into play later against other crime syndicates aiding Boba when he needs help and/or 2) The pikes will get revenge and wipe out that Tusken tribe, giving Boba more of an emotional arc. Just a theory but not impossible. Anyway, I'm digging this show so far and love all the different homages to what inspired SW to begin with! And the cameos of Fixer and Cam!! What an easter egg for hardcore SW fans!!

that stare down Black K gave boba gave me nightmares

The lizard is like a guide and maybe releases a hallucinogenic compound to guide him. Many cultures in our world use the hallucinogenic powder or even drink. Like for example there is a Central or South American country tribe have a drink that can send you on a somewhat a spirit quest. Also, part of the drink ingredients is the Coca Plant.

im maori from nz. love that once were warrior quote and how you know about the taiaha...nui te aroha

I’ve been thinking a lot about how Star Wars “is like poetry, it rhymes”: we’re getting a lot of Skywalker notes in Boba’s story. You guys mentioned how he took down Tatooine Gordo was like Leia taking down Jabba, and I recall in Mando season 2 when he returned, we all loved the “like my father before me”. But now I’m struck by how when Boba comes back from his vision quest and is given the robes, I realized that that’s another Skywalker echo: that’s “arise Lord Vader”, but happy.

Loved this episode. Probably one of my all time favs of live action ST TV. IT ROCKED.

"I can't believe they make these weapons with such purpose, and then just fuckin' brush their Bantha's teeth with them." I mean, that kinda shows you how much they respect their Banthas.

I don’t read comics, so this is the first that I have heard of the Wookie bounty hunter, Battle Beast.

This episode blew my mind. After I watched the first one I had a feeling that the series won’t be fully realized as amazing till you see all them chapters.

@21:22 Boba really said LAND BACK

Superb episode. The plunge into Tuskan lore & tradition was an absolute treat. Great action, some very juicy reveals and the whole episode was sprinkled with the right amount of humor. Bodes very well for the rest of the season.

Such a great episode. So many firsts. And I've always dug the fact that when it comes to the Tuskens, it always had a cowboys and indians feel to it. And nowafter Mando, and BoBF we are seeing that what we've known about the Tuskens isn't all true. Seeing their culture and who they are built into this whole other substrata of the universe we all know and love is just amazing. Favreau is God!

You're right about the deserved outrage about the Bantha. Like killing a buffalo for no reason. Makes me think of Charles's rage in Red Dead 2. At first I didn't think much of it. I noticed the Bantha was dead later, but didn't realize they killed IT first! Like a calculated move to weaken the Tuskens.

Im so glad I ain’t the only one who thought of Last Samurai when I saw the Tusken Raider train Boba!

Another flashback story will be how he got Slave 1 back

About your comment on such ceremonial weapons being used to brush the teeth of Banthas, Banthas are very sacred to the Tuskens, so it makes sense to me

Saw a post on Reddit from someone asking why the "twins" took so long after Jabba's death to stake their claim to the throne. Someone else responded by saying that's how long it took to carry them there.

This means that when the fight with the Hutts come up, Boba has a tribe of Tuskens to back him up. The dream was definitely ancient Tatooine. The Dune Sea is literally the bottom of an evaporated sea. The pinpoint sniper fire of the Tusken directed at the train reminds me of The Tusken Executioner from a mmorpg played a long time ago...... SWG. Before NGE and CU, when we were one community, before the Dark Times.

I swear that "hamster" was a hoojib. Ears were smaller but it definitely had the antenna.

this was amazing. Loved the detail, the robes, the crafting, the training the flashbacks and his awesome standoff with the hutts. Boba has balls to just stand there. I wonder how he's going to take out that wookie. OMg...blows my mind.

Considering how the Hutts are referred to as simply The Twins and share a litter, I wonder if they are conjoined twins?

I f*cking love your energy (it's so contagious even when I've watched this episode at least 7 times now) & knowledge of Star Wars across everything. Well done.

Your reactions are by far my favorite. Youre so knowledgeable and pick up on everything. Ive learned so much from your vids. Looking forward to watching all of your star wars reaction vids in the future! Amazing episode

Black looks SO COOL! They nailed the look! You can also see Morrison's Mauri influence with that war dance at the end and with Boba's fighting. It's so bad ass.

Here's a rumor you guys might like. You know that couple in the bar that Boba helped out before he stole those speeders ? Rumor has it that those two grew up with the nephew of Owen & Beru Lars, before he left Tattooine with some old desert hermit to go join the the rebellion. I think the old hermit turned out to be a jedi from the clone wars days too. But it IS just a rumor. LOL

you guys are the best, as always! there's something so incredibly wholesome about boba teaching them how to ride the speeder bikes. all their interactions for that matter!

That lizard sequence makes me want to see the Star Wars equivalent of Burning Man.

This episode was incredibly good!!

That excited "Oh-Kay!" at seeing BK was EVERYTHING.

i couldnt believe it when Camie showed up lol. i loved this episode.

Regarding the Pykes, usually the Clone Wars greatly exaggerates their characters designs. So live action Pykes, looking different from their animated counterparts, is to be expected.

Loved the reaction. Awesome episode.

Those Tuskens are damn good shots. Hitting Pyke henchmen from a couple hundred yards out through a small window of a fast speeding hover train. DAMN good job boys

I love the Mauri dance at the end.

What an amazing and insightful episode! Have a whole new appreciation for the Tusken people and the details into the various rites of passage was mind blowing to say the least, to say that this blew away my expectations of this as a series is a huge understatement. What seem like such a trivial line earlier when he said he wanted to rule with respect suddenly becomes more poignant as you see how much he genuinely respects the Tuskens and how it looks like that he wants to extend that mutual respect for all on Tatooine. Can not wait to see how this all plays out, this shaping up to become yet another classic in the Favreua/Filoni era!

Good ol' Tem rolling out the 'Jake the Muss' at Tosche Station. Apart from The Last Samurai vibe, there's a lot of Dances with Wolves going on too. As a fellow Kiwi, Tem saying 'Ancestral claim to the land' carried a bit of weight. So good that they are spending the time to develop Boba Fett's honour code rather than just give a mercenary a shopping list of people to kill.

I really, REALLY want to see Bossk come into the series. Just see the cadre of Boba grow as he forms his powerbase. I love Cad Bane, but Bossk just has a special place in my heart and since they were close in Clone Wars, it'd be awesome to see him return.

During the production of "Attack of the Clones," we were teased about seeing Tusken Raiders and I hoped to see so much more of their culture than what was shown. Still, that was at treat at the time.

I'm pretty sure them shooting banthas from the train is a reference to how bison hunters in the Wild West would shoot bison from trains. While the main reason for the bison's decline was massive commercial hunting, there was also the political motivation to remove the Plains tribes' major food source, and I'm guessing the Pykes are doing the same thing here. They are leaning hard into the Space Western vibes with this series and especially the flashback stories, I love it.

Treating the Tusken Raiders with respect. Really cool seeing Hutts and Black K. Kickass action scene with the train. Need to add deleted Station scene to Episode IV now. Being a part of the tribe so amazing.

Good stuff, guys! Loved your break down of artistic styles. You are so right. And it shows the creators of the show have a certain care they put into this... makes it that much more appealing.

The forging area at the end looks like an early McQuarrie painting.

This was a great episode and seeing Kyle's reaction to Black Krrsantan was the same as mine. Also, 9:08, how fitting Ben freezes at the same time😆😆 Can't wait for episode 3.

The Tusken in Black was AWESOME! I love her ☺️

We gotta get Bendu an AV setup
