This article contains spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett episode 7.
The Book of Boba Fett has now delivered its final episode on Disney+ and its story – a mashup of Fett flashbacks, Tatooine politics, and between-season Mando adventures – has polarized Star Wars fans, many of whom wished it would simply concentrate on just one of its chosen narratives throughout its run.
In its season finale, The Book of Boba Fett gathered together all its major post-RoTJ players, including Fett, Fennec Shand, Mando, Grogu, Peli Motto, Black Krrsantan, Cad Bane, the mod biker gang, and Chekhov’s Rancor, for a showdown on Tatooine that would establish Fett’s dominance in Mos Espa against the fearsome Pyke Syndicate, who were out to steal Jabba the Hutt’s old territory from the retired bounty hunter so they could easily trade spice on the desert planet.
Fett found himself surrounded by his supporters in the final conflict, but they were rather outgunned by the Pykes’ fighters and weaponry for the most part until Fett triumphantly rode his new Rancor pet into battle. Then, it was up to Grogu to tame the raging beast after Cad Bane engineered a standoff with Fett that Fett eventually won using his Tuskan Raider training.
With Mando and Grogu back together just in time for a third season of The Mandalorian, Fett and Shand roaming their Mos Espa territory with a newfound gusto, and the Pyke Syndicate running scared, all the The Book of Boba Fett had left to wrap up was the fate of Cobb Vanth, and a post-credits scene soothed any nerves that we’d seen the last of the handsome sheriff, as Stephen “Thundercat” Brunner prepared to work some mod magic on Vanth’s injuries while he chilled in Fett’s healing bacta tank.
Star Wars fans had mixed reactions to the finale, with some delighted at the way it played out. But The Book of Boba Fett remained a tough pill to swallow for others who didn’t feel like all the story elements in the Lucasfilm series found a solid equilibrium overall.
Here’s how viewers expressed themselves as this week’s installment of The Book of Boba Fett unfolded…
I absolutely loved all of the Grogu and Mando content, but it sadly took over the time they could’ve used to develop more meaningful dialog #TheBookOfBobaFett

That was great. 2nd half of the season is a lot better than 1st half. Season finale almost makes up for the mistakes made this season. #TheBookOfBobaFett #BobaFett

That finale was predictable at times, chock full of tropes, and even questionable in its direction, but geez it was fun to watch and unapologetically Star Wars for me.
Star Wars life lesson: Love the things you got and let go of those you didn’t…#TheBookOfBobaFett

What a finale! Almost exactly what I expected to happen, but thrilling nonetheless. Some cameos I wanted didn’t appear, but that’s OK. I’m more than satisfied! 👍🙂 #TheBookOfBobaFett

I shouldn’t have waken early to watch this finale for #TheBookOfBobaFett #TheBookOfBobaFettFinale. Don’t get me wrong I loved Mando and Grogu having their moment but Boba didn’t feel like he was in his own show. Maybe Favreau or Filoni should’ve directed this finale.

Woke up early before work so I could watch the BOOK OF BOBA FETT finale without having it spoiled for me.
I should have just slept in.
Underwhelming and creatively lackluster — what a “meh” note to go out on. pic.twitter.com/hjUIy0Sszb

Now that the Finale’s over, I think how I’d describe my feelings on #TheBookOfBobaFett is that it had a ton of cool moments and there’s definitely a lot to appreciate, but as a whole, wasn’t nearly as satisfying as either season of The Mandolorian. Though either way, I’m still

The final was ok. But not great. Didn’t like the fact that Grogu is back. Or that Bane died. Wasted potential. Underwhelmed.
There shouldn’t be another season. The Jedi or Mandalorian story is so much more interesting than Bobas.

my final thoughts on #thebookofbobafett (which i say as a huge fan of many other filoni projects) is that it tried to be too many things at once, and managed to do none of them well 1/

Overall I enjoyed #TheBookOfBobaFett, I think going forward I need to lower my expectations and let the story take me where it takes me. I had to many ideas & expectations of who would show up in the finale & where the show might go that I felt disappointed when it didn’t happen.
