The New Year has arrived and the DetBlock crew looks to start the new year with the start of their 2nd Season of podcasting.  With their 1st episode of 2022, Mike, Greg & Dustin first discuss some news and rumors that have circled around, ever since their previous recording.  However, the biggest thing and, in their opinion, the most important thing to discuss, the release of the newest Star Wars Disney+ Series: The Book of Boba Fett!

To note, this episode (along with summary) does contain SPOILERS for Chapters 1 & 2 of the show.  If you do not want to hear spoilers, please go watch the Chapters and come back and join us for our discussion!  If you do not wish to read any SPOILERS, please do not continue on in this summary.

For Chapter 1, the crew was digging the show from the get-go.  Between the simplistic and "realistic" escape from the sarlacc pit, the further exploration of Tatooine and Jabba's Palace, and all of the connecting elements to other Star Wars content, this show has already started gifting viewers with what people were looking forward to.  Then, when you throw in Chapter 2... viewers only get blown away even more.  Such aspects include a deep dive into Tusken Raider culture and society, character development for Boba Fett that reiterates how great of a character he is, an episode that is truly a romantic western set in a space fantasy (even with a train heist!), and introducing new (or not so new) characters that fit the story and pay homage to a universe so vast!  I mean, who would have thought that viewers would be gifted actual screen time with Camie and Fixer...!?  Two characters, and close friends of Luke Skywalker,  only found within the deleted scenes of A New Hope.  Absolutely amazing.  Product like this truly show fans that Filoni and Favreau know what they are doing and, more importantly, understand Star Wars.  

However, what does this all mean?  Join the crew as they discuss the things that stood out to them within both the first two chapters and how they feel it impacts not only the story of Boba, but also how it fits within the entire universe of Star Wars!
