WTF was the point?!

Watched the final episode and I honestly can't figure out who the series was written for. I'll avoid spoilers but it seems that Favreau was much less interested in doing ANYTHING interesting with the Fett character than he was with his boy Din. Throughout the entire series he gave no really interesting personality traits to Fett and no believable motivation. Hell, a full third of the series had virtually nothing to do with Fett at all.
And please, PLEASE keep that hack Robert Rodriguez far from anything but kiddie flix from now on. The seventh episode was farcical. His last decent movie was Planet Terror in 2007. Just like a tumbling ball of shit, his career has been rolling downhill ever since.
Ugh, what a waste of time and talent.

Wow. This show just fell apart didn't it? I really was all in the first episode or two. But what a waste of Jennifer Beals (she just stood around?) and Rosario Dawson. The bad guy doesn't show up until the second to last episode? That battle at the end went on forever. Folks hiding behind bins of nuts? The biker mods were not cool -- and they all of a sudden want to fight to the death. Spoilers: The shoot up the whole city, including killing half the residents and they're not pissed off at the end? In fact they're bowing to Boba? What? The cowboy backups show up and they're all in one car? That's supposed to be everyone from Freetown? And my usual complaint: Why have a ground war when you could just fly down in spaceships with lasers and do the job? Why is it the bad guys have shields but they don't? Why didn't they just send 3 robot spiders to start with instead of having most of the baddies killed before they come around? The Master Assassin: Why are you a master? Who is the blue cowboy? Is he from the prequels? Why doesn't he help fight instead of the bad guys coming in waves with him at the very end?
