The Book Of Boba Fett's Final Battle Was A Mess

thegamer.com:

Major spoilers ahead for Chapter 7 of The Book of Boba Fett.

Everything in The Book of Boba Fett has been leading up to this moment: the final showdown between Fett and his allies and the spice-running Pyke Syndicate. It promised to be an exciting, explosive finale to a show that has, overall, been pretty good. Instead, it was one of the most laboured, low energy, and bewildering battle scenes in the history of Star Wars.

But before I dunk on it, there are a few things I liked. Mando being reunited with his tiny green pal in the middle of it all was wonderful. When Grogu leapt into his arms, I'll freely admit that I was hit with a swell of emotion. I don't care if just a stupid puppet—I felt it, man. I love that little freak. I didn't think we'd see this until Season 3 of The Mandalorian, so that was a nice surprise.

I also liked Boba riding his new pet Rancor into battle. The rubbery stop-motion puppet in Return of the Jedi never fully got across how powerful these creatures are supposed to be, but here it's an absolute beast. I enjoyed watching it rampaging across Mos Espa and tearing robots apart. I didn't even mind when it climbed that tower in an on-the-nose homage to King Kong.

Mando and Fett fighting together was great too. It's always a fun time when these guys go full Mandalorian, and both characters made use of pretty much every weapon and gadget hidden up their Beskar sleeves—including Fett utilising his helmet's rangefinder to launch a back-mounted missile, and an always satisfying appearance from Mando's whistling bird.

But the praise ends there, because in every other respect this battle was a complete washout, thanks mainly
