[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 550571, member: 7379"] Once again I must agree with all of the episode 4 comments above. Overall, I loved the episode! As stated, a return to form, and also an episode that finally starts to explain the changes we've seen in Boba. The discovery of Fennec and the filling in of their backstory was most welcome and very well done, I thought. Yes, the droid chase and the bionic youths were out of place, but at least Fennec's own mods are explained. My only real gripe is the woke pandering by not having Boba Fett correctly name his own ship! Yes, the ship is a Firespray model, but it's been named 'Slave 1' since the time of Jango. We know it, the fans know it, and Jon Favreau certainly knows it. It may never actually have been called 'Slave 1' by anyone on screen, but all of the books, toys and supplementary materials have told us what the name is for decades! However, Disney are now suddenly seemingly terrified of being accused of racism by using the established name. How ridiculous! George Lucas isn't racist, and I have no doubts whatsoever that the name 'Slave 1' had absolutely nothing to do with African American slavery when it was coined. Slavery is an obscenity, and it has sadly existed for millennia, but by no means have all slaves always been black; that's an all-too-common insular American view of it, where many Americans seem to assume 'their' kind of slavery is the only kind there's ever been. All slavery is evil and wrong, but 'Slave 1' is just a name, nothing more. It didn't hurt kids to have a toy with that name in the 80's and 90's, so why is it suddenly a problem now? *steps down from soapbox* ;) [/QUOTE]
