Their inclusion reeks of a Disney executive saying we need some Theme Park/Merch tie in

Boba clearly rejigged his skill tree and took all his points off of attack and onto defense and HP prior to this series.One thing that I've noticed this series, Boba appears noticably weaker in the fight scenes so far (relative to his appearance in The Mandalorian). He seemed to be taken down pretty easily in that ambush in the first episode, needing to get back to the bacta chamber (Fennec was the difference in that fight). He was ragdolled around by Krrsantan during that fight which I guess can be largely attributed to the element of surprise and yes he didn't have his armour either. As yet though we haven't really seen him in the present day scenes do anything similar to The Mandalorian, which in terms of timeline would've been in the previous weeks prior to this show commencing.
And just on the Krrsantan fight, having rewatched it again it seems very out of place that he's punched in the face (with no helmet) by that knuckle duster contraption (which perhaps would fracture a cheekbone or something?), then caught in the bear/wookie hug of death, bones are heard cracking, hand is bitten, and then a minute later just casually reappears, puts his robe on and then enjoys a banquet feast in the subsequent scene. That's some decent healing power of the bacta tank

the knuckle duster had spikes on it too didnt it?
Enjoying it.
Who doesnt like a teenage cyborg scooter gang? Boomers clearly
when you have time, keen to read.The Wookie fight was not well choreographed but it isn't the only media to do it. Can happily explain the reasons why if anyone has a really bad quality of life.

Well, mainly it done what many shows do that feature an obviously stronger person fighting a weaker one. The fight features very few 'strikes', and mostly consists of throwing and pushing. The attacker has many opportunities where they can just choke and strangle their target, or punch them in the face, but they throw them around aimlessly instead. It's a way around braking logic I reckon. I recall the same thing happening often in Luke Cage for example. He rarely punches or whatever, probably because he'd kill someone, but what it does it gives the other people heaps of chances to get space between them, counter attack, and get the upper hand or escape, and it doesn't make sense to me watching it. A guy that loves breaking down fights in media, watching combat sport, and choreographing my own shitty little fight scenes to film with mates, it's something I notice and think about and feel about more than others.

It's a bit cheap IMO.

I think the problem is that when Bobby turned up in Mando he was whiz bang. I think we expected whiz bang. We saw a little of it in Ep 2 with the Train, but he seems as weak as a lettuce leaf at present
But that's always going to be an issue in a fantasy show like this. Either you don't have characters like Krstantan or you get around their physicality and show an engaging fight.
I know. I think I admitted that.
The other option would be to have Boba in his armour able to absorb the attacks, like Mando and the death troopers.
In general what I described is most noticeable in some things that are male vs female, the fight scenes are sometimes less rough with less punches and kicks and more throwing/pushing.
Just to me, and I admitted that it could only be me and I don't expect anyone to agree, I immediately found it not that engaging because of what was happening. It was another immersion breaker.

He just took on Black Krstantan? Dunno if he seems weak.
While limb tearing would be cool to see, Star Wars hasn't really ever been that gory. Light sabre dismemberment is the closest we get.Nah I definitely noticed it too. Commented earlier that for a species known for tearing out limbs he was very restrained.
