This new show is not doing to touch that scene, or any scene from Rebels where Obi-Wan cameoed. I feel very confident that Deborah Chow is not going to retcon Filoni's work from only a few years ago.
I don't think we need an Obi-Wan series, though obviously too late for that, but an adaptation of the Darth Vader ongoing comic? Yes, adapt that please.

Book of Boba Fett is the highest budget straight-to-video-sequel TV show I've ever watched, jesus
did anybody have a plan for what they wanted to do with this show? it feels like a bad TTRPG session
I forgot because they seem to have attached these to the wrong show, but one of the recaps put tense music behind a bunch of no-names deciding to stay neutral.
That’s a top-notch parody of the prequels, but I’m not sure it was essential information.

Which one? There's the Kieron Gillen 2015 one, which is set between new hope and empire, and it's excellent and I'd kill for an adaptation. There's some good marterial featuring Vader and some other fun imperials from his run on the star wars comic
There's the one that was set at the dawn of the empire. It was... Okay. Did some interesting stuff, but ultimately, not amazing. Still, lots of good marterial to adapt
And there's Greg paks currently on going run which is not particularly good
I just saw a youtube about the storyboards for RotJ...apparently Fett was supposed to shoot Chewbacca and then get his hand lopped off by Luke. The lightsaber was also supposed to damage his jetpack, not Han's stick thingy. I wonder if they changed it to be more kid-friendly.
The stuntman who played Fett says that there was a bunch more footage shot of that fight which didn't make the final cut.
And somehow, even what they put on screen apparently got retconned to “Bib sabotaged the jetpack.”
And also Bib got retconned to getting off the barge.
That's been lore at least since Tales From Jabba's Palace.
Yeah, I don't think Bib was ever on the barge. He had important Major Domo work to do back in the palace.
No time for Bib to go watch executions, he's a busy twi'lek.

When in doubt go back to literally the least interesting setting in SW
Hey now, Tatooine is still better than Naboo
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
Now that the sarlacc is dead, we're going to find out it was an imported pet that was released in the ocean when it got to big. Invasive species, hordes water for itself.

The sarlacc isn't necessarily dead, they're some kinda mesh of plant and animal and there's supposed to be a sort of root system that goes quite a ways. Apparently they spread by spores and can live just about anywhere, so they're supposed to be on many worlds and extremely hard to really kill. That particular sarlacc was supposed to be a pretty old one, though. Or at least that was once the case, no telling how much of that info they'll keep.
I dunno how much longer Star Wars can continue without telling us what happened to water on Tatooine, actually. The Tuskens claim they have lived on the world since before the water disappeared, but we see Tatooine is a total desert even four thousand years ago in KotoR; that's a long, long, long time to live on a total desert world. If all the surviving local life is there because of adaptation, then the loss had to be somewhat slow. Otherwise, all the life we see now is either imported because everything died or the species that lived in the deserts of the original world. We know that it had plenty of trees or something like them once upon a time, as the Tusken seem to be able to readily find wood to burn and craft weapons despite virtually all the plant life being dead for thousands of years. And they seem to use it in preference to what is surely an abundance of heating devices in the setting that could last a lifetime; even junk from the Jawas could get them a portable oven or something that would mean they don't have dig up ancient wood to cook dinner.
Five bucks says they make it some important, bigtime planet in the distant past and it was laid waste by some Sith antics.
In Legends, Tatooine is the human homeworld, insofar as humans have a homeworld, because they're one of many genetically modified slave races made by the Rakata--one derived from abducted Tuskens. At least, I think that's what I remember the implication being from KoToR/SWTOR/wiki dives. And who knows if they ever want to revive any of that for canon.
A. Take the saber, chop off cgLuke's other hand, then take the armor.
Or
B. Take the armor, reach for the saber, laugh when cgLuke's saber crashes helplessly against the armor, take saber
Or
C. Swarm cgLuke with frogs, take both, and leave, pile of frogs struggling behind him.
"Let's take a look at the scores! The girls are at the square root of Pi, while the boys are still at a crudely drawn picture of a duck. Clearly, it's anybody's game!"
It's such a fitting metaphor for this show to take a beloved character like Cad Bane, and with basically little to no setup, have him get killed in such a completely unsatisfying way. Just a masterpiece of utter shite.
Rest of the episode was pretty bad too; from the lame "everyone is actually alive and here (besides the pigs)", to the bad shoehorning in of Grogu, to the completely predictable betrayal by the three families, to the kinda lame Rancor fight. But man, the Cad Bane stuff was just the utter crap cherry on the shit sundae. Imagine if the entire season had been leading up to that moment instead of it being basically the the second interaction those two have had all season.

This better not mess with the Maul duel.

It’s a bad fanfic.

After 45 minutes into the writing they decided they'd rather watch Mando too
Fans tend to write their chosen characters ass badasses not tired washed up losers.

They are; you're just mistaken about who the chosen character is...

Ah so it’s something written by Paul then

10 years after RotS, 5 years before Rebels. Does that overlap with any of the comics?

Gotta say, this track is a real banger. Maybe the best thing about the first 4 episodes.
They stopped giving any fucks after season 2 or so. Entire flashback episodes, weird force shenanigans, wooden lightsabers, it's all good.
Just inject more Domino Squad into my veins.
When I presented that choice to my daughter (whose is 6), she naturally said she would just take both, with like a 'yoink' motion.
Your daughter has what it takes to survive in this dangerous galaxy.

I'm 98% Grogo shows up with the saber, then has a Frodo mithril moment after getting shot or stabbed.
