It's Boba as a child, a warrior and a leader. 3 main Tuskans - 3 aspects of Boba's life.
So he's going to end up murdered by desert bikies?

Appreciate thatWell, 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. Probably.
It's a bit cheap IMO.

Mandalorian moved planet to planet fairly regularly.I can't quite put my finger on why but really not loving this as much as I thought I would.
Loved Mando but just struggling to get into this one.
I did love the start of the first ep.Mandalorian moved planet to planet fairly regularly.
So far we are on a planet we already knew. It feels like a sequel using the previous show's sets and we want more.

Does it? We didn't get Jabba's palace or Mos Espa in Mandalorian, they're both new areas with new characters being explored.

I’m only speculating here, however I wonder how much of this is perhaps due to Covid productions. Perhaps they have been limited to only a few sets/stages. Which are predominantly Tatooine stages. Unable to travel around as freely with cast and crew to film in different locations etc. I’m guessing that has caused some of the limitations thus far.
It shall be on again tonight

This is the way
Do we know if this is being filmed on location? As far as I know, the majority of the Mandolorian was filmed on a sort of live green screen set up, the exception to that was the Boba Fett focused episode that Rodriguez directed, which was on location. Has Rodriguez followed that up by using location shooting as the norm in this, is it green screen again, or are we a bit more 50 / 50?I’m only speculating here, however I wonder how much of this is perhaps due to Covid productions.

Given some of the special effects have been obvious, I'm pretty sure most of this would have been filmed in The Volume, it's giant stage screen.Do we know if this is being filmed on location?

In regards to not being grabbed by the series yet, I feel similar, and I can't help but feel it's because The Mandolorian series is pretty much what I thought a Boba Fett series would be before either existed. But now that Mando exists, Boba is having to fill a different niche, and I'm yet to work out if I like that niche.
At the risk of bringing something up that will derail the thread, it almost feels TLJ-like at the moment where the story is very different to what people had made up in their heads, so people are finding it hard to connect with what is going on. TLJ was a movie though, so by the time you left you had the whole story and could definitively say "this is different to what I expected and it was a bad story because of it" or "this is different to what I expected but it was a better story because of not sticking to that those expectations". Whereas BOBF is an ongoing series so we can't make those calls yet, so our opinions are kind of in a holding pattern. That's my theory anyway.
I'm definitely still keen to watch every episode though, it's not like I've completely switched off. So it's definitely got something.

There have been a few things that have annoyed me/put me off:
For a tribe that live on the sands, the Tuscan raiders have been underwhelming.
They don't know how to hide behind a dune from a heavily armoured train (with people on board who are remarkably good shots travelling at high speed but not when plot armour requires it). Having half a tribe wiped out whenever a train passes would be a good incentive to learn to hide better.
They don't protect their Bantha from being shot. You think they would be worth a lot to the tribe, being their transport and pack animal for moving camp.
They allow a group of bikers to ambush them on their own territory. Especially after Boba beat them up so easily in the bar, a group of raiders trained to fight with their stick things on their own turf should have made mincemeat of them.
For a group who know every grain of sand in the desert they are pretty clueless.
