Growing Up Skywalker

• The Book of Boba Fett: “The Gathering Storm” (Season 1, Episode 4)

  As The Book of Boba Fett hits its midpoint in “The Gathering Storm” (Season 1, Episode 4), we take a critical look at its structure and debate whether this story would have been stronger told chronologically. We also sing the praises of its practical effects, talk through body modification culture in Star Wars, and discuss the horrifying effectiveness of Fennec Shand. New to Growing Up Skywalker?

• The Book of Boba Fett: “The Streets of Mos Espa” (Season 1, Episode 3)

  How about that speeder chase?If you’re all about vengeance, style, and speeder scooter gangs, "The Streets of Most Espa" is the episode for you. The Book of Boba Fett’s third episode takes on the fun topics of colonization, organized crime, and violence—and makes them thrilling, stylish, harrowing, and even somewhat silly.In our deep dive, we cover the post-World War II mod culture of Great Britain, Black Krrsantan’s outrageously scary presene, and the different ruling styles of Boba Fett, Bib Fortuna, and Jabba the Hutt. We're in the thick of The Book of Boba Fett now, and excited to see how it plays out!New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us for non-toxic Star Wars recaps from a veteran and a new fan.

• The Book of Boba Fett: “The Tribes of Tatooine” (Season 1, Episode 2)

  Is “The Tribes of Tatooine” the best live-action Star Wars episode yet?If not—it’s pretty dang close. The Book of Boba Fett’s second episode delivers a transcendent work of art that dives into the colonization of the Tusken people, ritual and rebirth, and the optics of power in Mos Espa and across the Dune Sea.In our deep dive, we parse the language of power spoken by the Hutts, the Pykes, and Boba Fett. We dig into Tusken cultural heritage and parallels between the Hutts and real-world crime syndicates. And we trace the comic-book-and-board-game-spanning lore of Black Krrsantan.New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us for non-toxic Star Wars recaps from a veteran and a new fan.

• The Book of Boba Fett Premiere: “Stranger in a Strange Land”

  The comic book vibes are strong with this one.Watching in chronological order (like we do), The Mandalorian’s Season 2 finale leads straight into The Book of Boba Fett’s premiere, “Stranger in a Strange Land.” It’s not as pulpy or epic as Robert Rodriguez’s previous Boba Fett-centric episode (“The Tragedy”), but some shots—like Boba Fett’s fist punching through the sands of Tatooine—are straight out of a comic book panel. We talk through Boba Fett’s interpretation of Daimyo and compare it to previous crime bosses, like Maul and Dryden Vos. We also discuss the state of crime in the galaxy and Ming Na Wen’s slinky approach to Fennec Shand.New to Growing Up Skywalker?

  The Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian (Chapter 16, “The Rescue”) sweeps to a stunning conclusion. Prepare to weep.This week, we celebrate THAT cameo—and the way this episode works for both new and veteran fans.
