“Chapter 2” of The Book of Boba Fett follows the same formula of the first episode offering us the current troubles of Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) attempting to become a crime lord on Tatooine and his time with the Tusken Raiders before reappearing on The Mandalorian. Rather than jump back and forth between the two stories, this time we open with new trouble for Fett as he deals with the captured assassin and faces a challenge to his throne in twin cousins of Jabba who have laid claim to Jabba’s territory. A public standoff results in no resolution or bloodshed, but does suggest where the assassins came from and what other dirty tricks the Hutts may come up with.

The pair survive their encounter with the Tracksuit Mafia and Echo (Alaqua Cox) by fighting their way out of the abandoned warehouse and through the streets of New York (leaving quite a bit of destruction in their wake thanks to the variety of Hawkeye’s trick arrows). The arrows, and Kate’s reaction to them, aren’t the only humorous slant to the episode as Clint’s hearing aid gets damaged during the escape leading to some miscommunication between the pair.
