In any event, I've always regarded the Gamorreans as sentient beings, just beings with low intelligence and obsessed with close quarter combat.

You see a similar idea to many imperialist and colonialist civilizations in history. They thought of other societies or cultures as more primitive or lesser because they didn't urbanize, had more communal views of property and land, or didn't have cash based economies. It's the stereotypical view that societies are sliding scales of primitive --------> advanced, rather than the reality that, like in actual evolution, societies adapt to their pressures and needs.

People generally don't like being punished out of nowhere, so if they think the reasoning for their punishment is flimsy, they'll act out. The Rebel Alliance is proof of this. Motivation by reward, conversely, is far more reliable on account of people generally liking being rewarded for doing well. Basically, a crime lord hiring a bounty hunter to bring in a rival would be more likely to have them brought in alive if they promise to cover the cost of the hunter's celebratory dinner than if they threaten to cut the bounty in half if they receive a corpse.

When Fett took on the Gamorreans it somehow reminded me of when the Gamorreans are recruited in the Far Orbit Project. As the writers seem to be real fans I'm sure they've read all those old campaign books.

Besides certain aspects like the more-than-typical warmongering and the rigid gender roles (they arent the only species to do that mind you, Tusken Raiders I recall have that problem too, and our own real world ancestors for that matter), as well as other aspects, they are in fact just like our ancestors. In fact, the whole idea reminds me of how natives from less technologically advanced countries are in our world's history. They were never stupid, inferior, and certainly weren't "savages" or anything the colonizers would claim, they just happened not to advance technologically as far as the rest of the world for one reason or another, but pretty much 9/10 times if not straight up 10/10 times, they had societies that at least functioned, they were just as civilized as anyone else, and the Gamorreans and Tuskens remind me of that too in a way.

Not to argue semantics but Gamorreans are not exactly the most Sci Fi Street Smart.

We immediately see Gamoreans as beings with a big capacity of loyalty. I must admit, after seeing their crude, incompetent and somewhat dim-witted nature in RTOJ and in the animated stuff, I thought boba had made a mistake in sparing 2 guards of the same species. During the Assasin’s fight in TBOBF Ep 1, I was immediately proven wrong. Sparing your enemies when they could otherwise have been killed and then offering them to work for you can definitely work in your favour. An example of this in real life was during one of the rebellions against Henry VII. The main figure of the rebellion was a youngish person and Henry realised he was a pawn in the plan of other aristocrats. So he spared the main figurehead of this rebellion and gave him a job in the royal kitchens, and his gratefulness led him to never be part of any further rebellions.

Mandalorian= WE LOVE BABY YODA!!!!! Book of Boba Fett= WE LOVE GAMORREANS!!!! Me= Shut up!!!!

TBBF seems really... Disney. It's one thing to try building your empire around respect vs fear and another entirely to behave as though fear is something to be avoided. We see the consequences of ruling through fear in the original trilogy, and we see countless examples in TBBF in which the lack of fear from their opponents caused countless deaths (even to the point of wondering was it all worth it). Lucas and Disney have tried very hard to keep this reality from being perceived by their audiences, but in reality this is why Solo shooting first was such a monumental moment... it was the emergence of consequence vs idealistic perspectives of right and wrong. Solo had no particular culture he was trying to protect, if anything his culture was that of the smuggler (profit at all cost). Boba assumes all profit from his predecessors so it makes some sense that his goals would be more ideal, it also makes sense considering his background and his time with the sand people. However, while idealism often marks in most people's eyes the height of a civilization that perception is most often due to the overwhelming odds of said civilization crumbling soon after... it's a questionable approach to running an empire but a far more stupid approach to starting an empire (and we see him realizing this by the end, when he says that they're not right for this position... but something that simple and precedent should not have taken someone like Boba so long to realize and should have been more like second nature to his understanding of the galaxy by then). All together, while appreciated for the extension of lore I find TBBF to be an overly expositional take on rather simplistic philosophical constructs. :(

Gamorreans are more honorable and loyal than most believe.
