Season 1, Episode 2, “The Tribes of Tatooine” REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett
Reviews of television shows
*SPOILERS*
Fennec takes the caught assassin back to Boba for interrogation in “The Tribes of Tatooine.” They discover he is a member of the Order of the Night Wind. He remains mute until he is thrown into the Rancor pit, at which point he claims to have been sent by the mayor. Naturally, Boba and his posse return the would-be assassin to the mayor, who assassinates him, revealing that the Order of the Night Wind is not permitted to operate outside of Hutt-space. He pays Boba as a bounty for the guy, but Boba takes it as his tribute. Boba returns to Garza’s on the mayor’s advice and discovers that Jabba the Hutt’s family have arrived to seize his kingdom. Fennec says as they walk away that Boba would need authorization to murder them. Boba reflects on his stay with the Sand People in the bacta tank. Boba leaps into action as the Tuskens are attacked by a train slithering across the desert. In a neighborhood tavern, he knocks up several degenerates, saves an outnumbered couple, and steals motorcycles. He instructs the Tuskens on how to mount and protect themselves. When the train arrives, Boba and his buddies are ready to attack it from all sides with artillery and speeder motorcycles. The passengers are found to be spice dealers after the locomotive is brought down. Boba allows them to survive, but instructs them to notify their superiors of a new fee due to the Tuskens for crossing the Dune Sea. The chief offers Boba a lizard in the Tusken camp, and it gets inside his skull. He follows it to a large tree, where he grabs a limb. The chief returns with the lizard, and the tribe assists Boba in transforming the branch into a staff when Boba returns.
“The Tribes of Tatooine” is a significant improvement than “Stranger in a Strange Land,” which was my expectation, but I’m nonetheless happy. This episode is visually stunning, and the musical composition is even better than the prior one. When Boba is in the tree, and particularly when he acquires his Tusken clothing, the music is just stunning. I also like how actual effects and costumes are used. So far, The Book of Boba Fett has its own distinct vibe while being firmly rooted in the Star Wars universe, which is one of the finest compliments I can bestow.
I failed to note that some of the supporting performances in “Stranger in a Weird Land” are strange. I’m not sure whether I like them or not, but I’m inclined to say no. The mayor’s majordomo and Garza are excellent examples, and the person at the mayor’s desk isn’t much better. Unfortunately, the situation isn’t much better now than it was in the first episode. The performance isn’t bad; it simply seems out of place and obtrusive. Of course, Temeura Morrison and Ming-Na Wen are still fantastic as Boba Fett and Fennec Shand. I enjoy Morrison and would want to see/hear more of him after seeing Star Wars and Moana. Wen is always excellent in whatever she does, and she was one of the few things of Agents of SHIELD that could be tolerated. The absence of… something – maybe enthusiasm? – among the supporting characters isn’t enough to destroy the program for me. I’m hoping it gets better with time, but for now, these performers are only serving as a distraction from their outstanding co-stars.
The Sand People have been basically redeemed thanks to The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. They aren’t only the deadly beasts shown in movies, at the very least. I appreciate how they’ve been given more character here, and the chief’s comment about tribes living via conflict says a lot. The Tuskens are seen here through the eyes of the naive local, as seen in current Westerns and films like as James Cameron’s Avatar. By the way, the better Avatar is the unrelated Nickelodeon Avatar animation. Anyway, I enjoy the visual and how Boba develops a sense of responsibility for his caregivers. This goes a long way toward explaining his present views. Following the initial train strike, the Tuskens bury their dead in a beautiful and tragic spectacle. I don’t recall feeling sorry for the Sand People in the past. Even in Attack of the Clones, when Anakin strikes them, all I could think about was how far he’d gotten. As ridiculous as it may seem, I’ve never considered the Sand Humans to be people.
I like how evenly the Tuskens and Boba exchange ideas. He teaches them how to ride bikes and fight trains, and they ultimately educate him about their culture and history. On every level, the sequence in which Boba creates his own staff and gets his attire is breathtaking. The music and photography represent this important moment for his character, and it seems built up and real. The Tuskens’ faith in Boba is further shown by the fact that he is allowed to depart with his weapons. They’ve done a lot of heavy lifting to explain his change of heart and desire in controlling Tatooine in only two episodes.
I also need to discuss the entities on board the train. They have a resemblance to the Pyke criminal family from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. They were also in Solo, but I’m not going to hold it against them. This doesn’t necessarily imply anything major, but it does make me wonder whether Crimson Dawn will be a part of the program in the future. That would be incredible. However, Maul, their commander, is dead at this time, having died in Rebels for real. I doubt they’d return to the same guy again; his appearance in Clone Wars was too much for some. That’s a pity, since it’s by far his greatest on-screen performance, and he gets some fantastic lines. But I’m getting ahead of myself. It would still be wonderful to bring in Crimson Dawn and, I imagine, Q’ira as its commander. Even though I dislike Solo, the Clone Wars previously hooked in with it, so I could see them doing it again.
In general, I preferred “The Tribes of Tatooine” over “Stranger in a Strange Land.” This episode creates suspense as to who Boba’s true foe is, since I previously believed the mayor would be the season’s villain. I’m still not a fan of some of the acting, and although I like the memories, I believe they should be balanced out with more of what’s going on with Boba right now.

“The Tribes of Tatooine” was much superior than “Stranger in a Strange Land” in my opinion. This episode creates suspense as to who Boba’s true foe is, since I previously believed the mayor would be the season’s villain. I’m still not a fan of some of the acting, and although I like the memories, I believe they should be balanced out with more of what’s going on with Boba right now.
