While Episode 3 of 'The Book of Boba Fett' had its share of action, some new faces, and some nostalgia-inducing moments, it wasn't received too well from fans who were still over the moon after the close-to-an-hour Episode 2 that fleshed out the relationship between Boba (Temuera Morrison) and the Tusken Raiders. The latest episode sees his tussle with the corrupt Mayor Mok Shaiz and the Pyke Syndicate who intend to rule Tatooine in corrupt ways. A frustrated Boba makes his team bigger and takes on the Mayor.

However, the episode, with a runtime of 37 minutes didn't pack the same punch and that was a letdown for some of the fans. "Just finished episode 3 of #TheBookOfBobaFett & while it wasn't my favorite episode I did still enjoy it & didn't expect what happens in this one. If you've seen it you'll know what I mean. 6-7/10 #starwars #starwarsthebookofbobafett #bobafett #temueramorrison #disneyplus," one of the fans wrote. "The last awesome moment we saw #BobaFett in was the after-credit scene at the end of the much superior #TheMandalorian. His own series sucks so hard right now. Episode 3 is so bad...." a fan opined.

On the other hand, some felt this was a rather fun episode filled with 'Star Wars' Easter eggs and some lore. "The Book of Boba Fett is picking up steam and I’m all about it. The new characters in episode 3 were so so awesome, loved the creatures of course, colors, casting, CAMEOS, and that you can finally start to see where this is going. An episode filled with Star Wars riches." Another said, "The Book Of Boba Fett Episode 3 Was good Episode It's Little Bit Better Than Last Week's Episode I Just I Hope The Series Gets Better From Here. #BookofBobaFett."

"The Book of Boba Fett is getting crazy epic… Episode 3 while short has one of the scariest boss fight scenes and one epic celebrity cameo with some EU lore sprinkled through out. #TheBookOfBobaFett," a tweet read.
