Perhaps I am jumping at shadows, but Fennec was deffinitely outshining Boba, and that little droid fight made him look cartoonish, the seismic charge felt like the cherry on top of the cake.

What, nobody is going to comment on how the kitchen droid scene was a total parody of Grievous in the "Hello there!"/"General Kenobi!" scene?
Lucas was already going in that direction with his plans for Underworld, although that obviously never got made.
Okay you are not wrong.
It was hilarious, Boba needs to hire more Droids with Multiple arms. Also shouting at the droid was very funny as well.
Because a teenage girl less than five and a half feet tall can't actually reach an eight foot tall Wookiee's neck, and also because a bunch of kids aren't highly trained and experienced fighters?
I mean, you gotta give the kids props for loyalty -- Black Krrsantan is easily capable of literally ripping them limb from limb if he managed to grab/grapple any one of them *or* shattering every bone in their body if he knocks them aside with anything more than a glancing blow, he's physically tough enough to pretty much shrug off hits from their small melee weapons, and they *still* throw themselves at him to buy Boba some breathing room.
(I don't think the speeder chase was impressive, but I don't think it was *supposed* to be all that impressive. The kids aren't supposed to be highly skilled at anything; Fett's giving them a chance because they had the guts to stand up to him face to face, which is a hell of a lot more than most people in the GFFO ever do when facing someone with that level of reputation.)
And to add to this if any of you saw the Bad Batch you would realize Fenic is kind of a piloting sevant. Throw in the fact she has had 30 plus years of doing Bounty Hunter work where you would be expected to know your way around many kinds of ships just in case you needed to use them. What she did is not that unusual at all. Remember people think back to her job class and remember the skill sets needed to be a good bounty hunter.

Yep.
Think it was when her career was first getting started, though the Fennec Shand then would've (obviously) lacked the experience that her older self has now.
Yep she was in two episodes.
Who the flying fuck cares about ICS numbers? Like do people actually watch these series and think "Oh shit, how will this affect my Versus calcs!?!?!"
Actually don't answer that.
Watching that episode, the least notable thing IMHO was Fennec Shand pressing a button and dropping a seismic charge on the Sarlacc. Neither ICS calcs or Fennec Shand being shown as a Diet-Rey whose capable of PRESSING BUTTONS on a starship ever occurred to me. I mean I guess you could imply that it's more thsn pressing a button and cite endless reasons why it's more then just pressing a button, but when I saw it, the only impression or takeaway I got was that she can press buttons competently and it's a good thing she pressed a button that time around.
Like I was more bothered that Boba Fett fired a missile at a speederbike and for a split second I was like.... "Hmmm that seems wasteful," but it never occurred to me that such disproportionate usage of ordinance might affect CAS calculations for Versus debates or bring in issues of Boba Fett and his tactical acumen in regards to ordinance selection.
The big standout negatives of the last episode to me were this 'Mod' culture which is still cringe and I feel doesn't fit with the atmosphere of Mos Eisley or Tatooine at all and the design of the Mod Doctor was extremely distracting and took me out of the scene. Maybe that can be argued as Woke advocacy.
Also the bit with Boba Fett chasing the bunny droid was kinda eye roll inducing to me. Kids liked it though so... I guess it worked?
The Kitchen Droid reminded me of General Grievous as well, so that was nice. I was bummed that none of the Gamorrean mooks actually performed as anything more then just expendable mooks. I was almost hoping the one Gamorrean guard that ran onto Slave One would engage in some sort of prolonged fight scene but no, it was not to be.
Now that Boba Fett is healed he better not fight like some slow ass sixty year old is portraying him like in the first episode.

The kids probably don't have access to whatever armory is in the palace, and given how few people are currently in his service, Boba probably didn't place a high priority on restocking it anyway. The weapons they have are clearly their own possessions, hence being kinda-random and also not very effective.
(If you pay attention to the visuals, the biker girl's switchblade knife isn't even a vibroblade. There's none of the vibro-distortion effect we see on weapons like Din's vibroknife.)
I thought that was obviously intentional. Fett stopped shooting with the autoblasters and gave the guy on the front speeder just enough time to realize how UTTERLY FUCKED he was before blowing him away with excessive firepower.
I know it was intentional. I was describing a split second thought I had in my mind when watching it... as a contrast to the earlier critique made about Fennec Shand pressing a button to release the seismic charge and the extrapolations that occurred.
That's totally fair. The thought I had in my mind with that scene is, "Oh you guys are SO, SO FUCKED."

Yeah, I'd have cursed the Force for making my last moments unfold like that.
Still, what's revenge worth without giving your enemy a few seconds of sheer, unadulterated terror before blasting them into smithereens, yeah?
I wonder if they recognized Slave One. It's an *incredibly* distinctive ship, and while he's been out of circulation for years, Fett was well-known on Tatooine since Jabba was one of his regular customers.

Extra nerdy part: S1E4 is the first BoBF episode that gives us a direct timeline link to The Mandalorian, since the flashback part of S1E4 directly overlaps the events of Mando S1E5. While we already knew from Mando Season 2 that the cloaked figure that rescued Fennec after she was shot and left for dead in the desert was indeed Boba Fett, we now know that he *wasn't* actually hunting any of them; he simply saw the flares that Din and Toro had fired during their prior fight with her, and came to investigate.
This means that the BoBF flashbacks fully span the five year gap between RoTJ and Mando Season 1; Boba was some combination of "in the Sarlacc" and "with the Tuskens" for that entire period -- most likely, in the Sarlacc for several days to weeks, then with the Tuskens for the rest of the time. The time jump is probably between the Episode 2 Tusken flashback and the Episode 3 Tusken flashback. The Episode 1 and Episode 2 Tusken flashbacks are clearly back-to-back within a period of a few days, and the Episode 3 and Episode 4 Tusken flashbacks are within a week or so at the most, since the Tusken massacre clearly occurs during the *first* time Boba goes to Mos Eisley to collect protection money from the Pykes in the aftermath of the land-train incident.
There is an Old saying in the US Navy that applies to what Boba did.........
There is no kill like Overkill.
