You can watch The Book of Boba Fett episode 5 right now, and we're hoping this one improves things a bit. While a war is brewing for Boba Fett and Fennec Shand, online sentiment about the show continues to sour. Meanwhile, some are fixated on the tiny Book of Boba Fett mistake caught on TikTok.

We're hoping that he and the incoming war between Fett and Pyke’s syndicate bring this show to a boil. Here's everything you need to know about watching The Book of Boba Fett episode 5.
