Spoilers.
In the past Fett plans to break into Jabba the Hutt’s palace to take his ship back. While in the present he goes about recruiting some help and taking control of his territory.
Kevin Tancharoen’s “Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm”, is as immersive as a Star Wars video game, as Boba goes through Jabba’s Palace to get his ship, with some amusing setups involving Bib Fortuna’s droids.
There’s more bacta tank dreams (or a real account of his past). You see how Fennec Shand was saved. The well staged episode offers callbacks in the flashbacks including The (complete special edition) Sarlacc Pit and Return Of The Jedi’s EV-9D9. In the present actor Jennifer Beals returns as Garsa Fwip, also 8D8, Gamorrean Guards and Max Rebo gets to play more tunes. Also there’s a seismic charge used as seen/heard in Attack Of The Clones.
Tancharoen’s Krrsantan fight scene is thankfully more fluid than in the previous episode. Finally we get to see a Wookie pull an arm off. Again Temuera Morrison as the honourable Boba Fett steals every scene especially when getting his property back and just-revenge on the Speed-Biker gang.
Even if a little heavy on the humour, Jon Favreau is on writing form joining the dots of The Mandalorian and setting up the pieces to go to war with the Pykes Syndicate, even hinting at the possible return of Din Djarin.
Overall, with scope and high production values Tancharoen delivers a great episode all-round.
