YMMV / The Book of Boba Fett S1E7 "In the Name of Honor"

• Catharsis Factor: After making a career out of mass murder, torture and kidnapping of children without getting any comeuppance, Cad Bane dying to Boba in a final duel brought nothing short of much relief for many longtime fans. Even better is that he died to a Jango Fett clone after spending years killing clones.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • It's revealed that the Pykes were the real culprits behind the Tusken massacre and they framed it on the Kintan Striders just to throw Boba Fett off their trail. Not only did the Pyke Syndicate commit an act of genocide, but they did it behind Boba's back after they promised to give protection money to the Tuskens and then tricked Boba into murdering relatively "innocent" people. When Boba Fett is told of this by Cad Bane, he becomes so enraged that he swears to fertilize the soil of Tatooine with the blood of every Pyke on this planet.
  • The crime families of Mos Espa cross this by attacking Boba Fett and his forces despite promising to stay neutral in a conflict that only concerns the Pykes and Boba alone. One particular attack sees the violent death of the two brave and loyal Gammorean guards that Boba spared and offered work to. For this heinous act of betrayal, Boba sends Fennec Shand to ruthlessly assassinate the heads of the crime families along with the Pyke boss in one fell swoop.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
  • Boba Fett dueling Cad Bane is a showdown fans have wished for ever since learning it was cut out of The Clone Wars. However, in that show the duel was going to come after a multi-episode plot of Bane training young Fett, and it would represent Cad seeking to settle a score with his father Jango by proxy and Boba’s first real step as an independent bounty hunter. Here the duel comes out of nowhere and occurs when Boba’s well in middle age and Bane likely elderly. As the two have almost no interactions in prior media due to the cut arc, and only meet in this episode, Boba and Bane could only allude to shared history in dialogue without showing it.
  • After Boba Fett learns who really killed his Tusken saviors, he sends Fennec Shand after the culprits, disappointing viewers who would've found it more satisfying for Boba to punish them all by himself.
  • Din and Grogu attempting to move on from their separation, only to reunite for more adventures, goes by more quickly than most viewers expected. Having it happen in this show rather than The Mandalorian also squanders any potential behind the latter's third season using it as an emotional linchpin; not helped by how many episodes chosen instead for The Mandalorian Season 3 shift focus away from Din and Grogu. Din also fails to fulfill Grogu's requests to see his smiling face, due to the frantic context the show gives to their reunion, and/or Pedro Pascal's apparent inability to work a physical appearance into his schedule.
