Here we are again. Hopeful that Disney make take Star Wars or Marvell seriously in a show. Well looks like we will have to wait some more. Spoilers follow.

This could be my only comments on the series as the first episode is not what we would call "strong". Linked below are some YouTube reviews if you want more details about the episode.

First let me say, the actors were good. Temura Morrison and Ming Na Wen are both great. But once again, the writing and the execution are just not good at all.

Issue #1: Boba is Incompetent

Most of the episode makes Boba look bad. He isn't very smart. He can't fight. He can't shoot. Is this supposed to be the baddest, bestest bounty hunter in the galaxy? Please. He gets dissed by a mayor. Beaten up my Tusken kids, then a Tusken woman, and then by a gymnastics troop carrying plexiglass shields. There is NO indication that he is capable of taking over a criminal empire.

Issues #2: No Guns on a Disney Show

There is a big fight in the middle of the episode. Most of the problems that happen in the fight would be easily solved by Boba's blaster or by Boba's flying suit. Apparently, Disney has some sort of anti-gun/no gun policy throughout its TV series. Because from Falcon and Winter Solder series to this one, everyone is Kung Fu fighting.

Summary

Overall, just not very good. See the linked reviews for more details.
