Since The Book of Boba Fett is technically a spin-off from The Mandalorian, an appearance by the Mandalorian himself was inevitable. But the latest episode of Boba’s series, “Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian,” took the flagship star’s obligatory cameo to the nth degree and didn’t feature Boba at all. The episode offered a fun Star Wars adventure, but it ultimately felt like an episode of a different show. Helmed by regular Mandalorian director Bryce Dallas Howard, “The Return of the Mandalorian” is essentially a Mandalorian episode crammed into the middle of The Book of Boba Fett’s run.
