Episode #172 - The Book of Boba Fett: 'Stranger in a Strange Land' and 'The Tribes of Tatooine'

Scavenger's Hoard: A Star Wars Podcast

It’s the new year, and we have a new format! Going forward, our plan is to begin each episode by highlighting a few pieces of non-Star Wars media we’d particularly like to put on people’s radars - including books, films and TV shows. In this episode’s opening, Kirsty recommends the following: - The Lady from the Black Lagoon by Mallory O'Meara - Baby Face (1933), dir. Alfred E. Green - Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), dir. Tim Burton And Rachael has these picks: - Beauty and the Beast (aka The Virgin and the Monster) (1978), dir. Juraj Herz - Boiling Point (2021), dir. Philip Barantini - Wuthering Heights (1988), dir. Yoshishige Yoshida We also have a quick chat about The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, which we have now both read and enjoyed! Around the 30-minute mark, we move on to the main attraction - our thoughts on the first two episodes of The Book of Boba Fett (Stranger in a Strange Land and The Tribes of Tatooine)! We talk about our feelings going into the show, and what we thought about the opening episodes. Tune in to hear us discuss everything from Twi’lek men becoming alarmingly hot to the show’s handling of the Tuskens and how Temuera Morrison’s Māori heritage appears to have informed the storytelling. We hope you enjoy our return and our new format! We’d love to hear your thoughts on the changes, and we’d welcome any recommendations you might have.
