Laughed out loud when Cad Bane asked Boba “What is your angle?”, even the characters in the show don’t know what the fuck Boba’s arc was supposed to be

Why did we get 15 minutes of Mando building and testing his new ship, but ZERO scenes of Boba learning to ride the Rancor and bonding with it? In a Boba Fett show! Hell, even in Mando S1 they devoted time to him learning to ride the mount.

You know they fucked the show up when you have people literally wanting Cad to just shoot Boba in the face.

What about the wookiee? He goes from almost dying and barely standing to hand on hand combat with a robot in almost 5 min. Regeneration skills 9999

Cad is like: “watch out for your own skin. Thats my final lesson” Also Cad: “all my forces are defeated, and our opponent has a rancor. This is my time to strike!”

Dude, the last episode of Boba Fett was similar to a kid who took his toy box and threw the content on the floor and had Starwars themed toy war with everything he could think of: monsters, robots, cowboys, heros, indians, soldiers, jedis, ships, fishes, scooters, orcs.

I love how at the end, Boba tells Fennec "we are not suited for this" after Boba spends the entire season trying to be Daimyo and convince everyone he's suited for it. This show (while it had it's good moments) was a spit in the face to fans of Boba Fett

I felt so empty watching most of the combat in this series. Especially ep.7. The mods shooting their little squirt guns, all the Pyke target dummies standing in the middle of the road, everything feeling like it's in slow motion. Not to mention the city-destroying droids that can't dent a mud wall after blasting it for 30 minutes lol. The writing and directing gave us an absolute snore of a show.

Wookie fur is blaster proof. No "good guys" died this season. Show felt like a Spy Kids movie at times.

Im honestly just sad for Temuera Morrison, dude's a fucking legend especially in Star Wars fans' eyes. And what did he get? A shitty script, basically no real badass moments, and a different character taking over his own series...

I appreciate Joe holding his own, he's definitely a big Boba fanboy, probably even more than me. And AJ has been really doing a good job listening to everyone's perspectives and having a good debate. This channel's grown, boys. Also good call bringing Ray on.

That mod spinning and twirling scene did it for me. I just laughed out loud and cringed so hard.

Cad Bane's death really irritated me. He was introduced way too late and killed off way too early. There was absolutely no reason for that role to be filled by him.

Rancor: oh no fire! Runs Also Rancor: Flamed right down the throat and doesn't give af

When Boba left to get the rancor, I thought he was going to get his ship, cause that's a pretty big motif in SW, a ship comes in and blows up a tank that's kicking everyone's ass, especially common in the clone wars series.

Another problem was with how inconsistent the speed of the droids walking were. It was between a snails crawl to faster than a transport droid.

I loved the fact that everybody was shooting the robots, but as soon as their shields were down, everybody suddenly stopped shooting at them for no reason.

Just saying whoever directed this episode deserves to get fired for the droids aiming alone. When Bobas fighters were all running at 2 mph in a massive huddled up group and the droid hit the roof of a building I completely left the moment of the scene

Alex is on fire as always: I was yelling at my screen: "Why do you keep shooting the shield?" The second the shields go down, they watch the Rank or: " Why aren't you shooting the bots?" They stand in the middle of a road without cover and dont get hit critically. They fly in on their jetpacks but then just stay grounded and get pummeled

I think there’s absolutely something to directors that genuinely seem to love and understand Star Wars (Dave Filoni, Bryce Dallas Howard) and those that love themselves and their own style more than anything (Robert Rodrigez, Rian Johnson)

Robert Rodriguez is definitely the problem it’s no coincidence the worst episodes are his. It’s also hilarious that no other director wanted to include the stupid mods and Robert just kept trying to push them into the damn show for some reason

I think the scene I laughed the most at was BK struggling to reach them..foot dragging uselessly behind...taking multiple shots...on the literal edge of death. Then Boba promises him a bath and suddenly he's able to run away completely fine when the droids show up a minute later.

Honestly if you guys could, you should add Ray to the show. He is a welcome addition for sure!

"They're butt raping Star Wars." My wife at the end of Book of Boba Fett

I actually fully agree with Alex's take on the season. There are some very good moments in the season, but unfortunately most of those things happened in episodes 5 and 6. On another note I actually burst out laughing when that guy did a full 360 and then shot. That part was hilarious.

My “favorite” part was where the chick “distracted” the killer droid, drawing it’s fire, while the girl she’s supposedly attracting fire away from is literally standing next to her! 🤣🤣🤣

The writing was terrible from start to finish, some of my favorite moments: - Boba saying the Tuskans "took him in" after they had beat & enslaved him, then morally judging bikers for potentially destroying these tuskan RAIDERS who again regularly take slaves and try to kill people - The wookie assassin failing to take out a defenseless sleeping target because he threw Boba around rather than shooting him or tearing out his throat - The wookies spiked & electrified fist hitting Boba's exposed face full force head on and doing zero damage, not even leaving a mark - Boba literally driving his ship into the Sarlacc pit and nearly dying because he forgot he still had his armor on when he left the pit initially. Also, looking for his armor by crawling inside it rather than using the drone Fennec had used in the same episode to scan Jabba's palace I could go on, but the point is that behind all the amazing special effects is a MESS of bad writing. We shouldn't love Star Wars just for the label of Star Wars. Star Wars, and its audience, deserves better

I agree with EVERYTHING you guys said here... Other than episodes 5 and 6, this was bad Spy Kids fan fiction. Only thing that couldve redeemed this show was that it was Boba who took out the crime lords at the end (because it would have put some strength behind Cads monologue) ... But of course, that was taken from him as well in order to prop up a Disney made character... We can like Din, Fennec, AND BOBA at the same time Disney... You dont need to bring down legacy characters IN THEIR OWN SHOW

Got to love how Mando and Boba have a discussion on how to deal with the droids when standing right beside them right out in the open. RIP the Gammorans. They were loyal and hard working grunts.

I agree with you OJ! Boba completely disregarded "Those droids will destroy the city" and released a damn Rancor that throws the droids and speeders into buildings and goes full Kong.

The fighting in all the Rob directed episodes feels like MMO battles… you know that really out of place fighting experience where they just stand and shoot with numbers flying up in the air… that’s how it felt to me every episode… like especially when those stupid mod peeps are behind that wall taking fire and firing back.

RIP Ray.

Are there limitations to the jet packs? There were many times where Mando and Boba could have escaped peril by simply jet packing away and creating distance.

I like how everyone has almost unanimously agreed that our problems with the Mando episodes were not because they were poorly written (since they were amazing) but because they are out of place in BOBA FETT’S show. 😂

Rest easy Ray, you will be missed

The fact that Boba says no to going back to his own gigantic palace where you know every nook and cranny, have more guards, have a big ass metal door, a Rancor, and Slave 1. But you let the Zoey 101 Vespa Scooter Gang convince you otherwise who have no place speaking and also left anyways lmao

The lamest thing ever is when one of the mods does a 360 spin before shooting after helping Krrsantan to some cover. Like he was already looking at the Pyk but had to spin

One of the strangest series I’ve ever watched so all over the place. Some terrible moments and some truly amazing ones, such a strange show

You can always tell what Alex thinks of a particular review just by his body language 5s into the video.

Fun fact, the crazy lady with the pit droids was using a CA-87 (blunderbuss), a gun used exclusively by Jawas! Great little Easter egg because she said she dated and speaks Jawa! Also, the cycler rife is iconic in star wars unlike what OJ said, farm boy Luke in Episode 4 uses one and it's common in Tatooine.

I feel bad for Temuera. He does a good job playing the character but gets saddled with a lame script, and the lukewarm reception to Boba Fett may be interpreted by Disney to mean we don't want more of this character, but we do; just not the fanfic revisionist version of him that we got.

This was the most up and down series ever. The highs were extremely high with the Luke and grogu stuff. But the lows, oh boy were they low....thanks Robert Rodriguez!

Pretty much everything I was shouting mid-episode watching this finale was in this video. The only thing missing was the Mod saying she'd "distract" the robot for the sniper literally 2 feet from her on the same rooftop by shooting at it. Then when they *both* have to run as the robot shoots back I'm shouting "of course that is what would happen, do you not know what cross fire is?!" My wife just smiled and looked at me until I remembered it's just a TV show. I feel like I got worked up because it kept teasing the idea of being a cool, satisfying finale and then having the seasoned characters make calls that even CoD playing teens would know are stupid. I don't know if it was a production fail, a budget issue, or if this was the best the people involved thought possible. It's very disappointing.

Lol I love Rey’s sassiness he brings some funny shit in this show him and OJ pure comedy relief and pretty much our targeted audience Alex being the straight forward hard hitting super critic and then joe being an all around reviewer but video games he hits hard movies and show review is just like a side job

I love how the cat went around the table giving everyone some cuddles

Not having Boba kill the betrayers at the end was the nail in the coffin for Bobas character portrayal, these people betrayed HIM not Fen so it would have been so much more meaningful for him to kill them all. The show made Boba a complete mockery of the characters legacy, the first few episodes of build up got completely forgotten and the rest of the season played out like a completely different show. Very disappointed :(

Love to rewatch the reviews after watching the series again. Just want to say Rest in Peace Ray ❤️

Alex has the most accurate review of this show. It's fan fiction that feels as if it was written by a 4th grader. No clear direction. Corny dialogue. Rushed plot. Useless characters. No one wanted to see Boba Fett like this. What were the directors thinking? 4/10

Bringing Grogu back so soon was a mistake, in my mind. It takes a lot away from the past Mando seasons. And Boba didn't even have a back up plan just in case the other gangsters betrayed him. He actually took their word for it. It is just naive. And if Cad Bane is truly dead, it was a wasted character. Fitting for a show full of wasted opportunities. Watching the entire show is just unfulfilling. For those of you who enjoyed it, I'm happy for you. Me, I am so disappointed, I'm almost speechless.

Don’t forget that through this series, it basically reverts what Season 2 finale of Mandalorian did with Grogu and Luke. Now Grogu is back with Mando already and we won’t get what we expected and were left to speculate by the end of Season 2 of Mando. 😑

The worst part isn’t Boba asked the other crime lords to stay neutral, it’s that he seemed to honestly believe them and be shocked when they betrayed him.

I lost my shit when the Scorpinek droids came on screen. Having read and re-read the Star Wars Complete Guide to Droids as a kid, the Scorpinek droid was one of the coolest designs that was never adapted to film or show until now. I was completely not expecting to see the Droideka's big brother in the Book of Boba Fett. I'm very disappointed though that the guns on those walking tanks can't even penetrate stucco walls.

Killing Cad Bane so quickly is a huge mistake, how are they going to kill such a badass bounty hunter already next episode after being introduced Here's hoping he's still alive

I love how “I’m gonna distract the droid” draws fire to the person you’re distracting for ….

How would you have felt if Bane came back to his boss, killed everyone in that room and when Fennec arrive to kill them, he is the only one left and says " you took too long"

I feel like this episode really should have been two parts. One focusing on fighting the Pikes and another one on the conflict between Boba Fett and Cad Bane.

We needed less Grogu and Mandalorian in a Boba Fett show and more Cad Banes development with Boba Fett. cad should’ve been around since episode one. Episode one should’ve been the scene of Cad shooting the Timothy Olyphant character and establishing Bobas obstacles early. This show was so poorly written it’s crazy.

There's never been a time I've been rooting for Cad Bane more than Boba itself. They could ve had a Obi Wan- Anakin moment but more tough love. No but they done fucked it up.

I would be amazed if this show gets a second season after how disappointing it was. Aside from Mando 2.5, this show was wasted.

The Clone Wars (CGI show) introduced a counter for those types of shields, just roll a detonator at them. But it was weird that Santo couldn't just step inside the shield.

Yeah I was also confused as to why the crew stopped shooting at the droids when their shields went down

Had Cad Bane taken out most of Boba's allies it might have added more tension to the battle and the confrontation between the two of them would've been more satisfying. Boba would come out as the shining badass, the last man standing and the hero we all wanted to see. But, the only casualties on Boba's side were the Gamorreans. Without this tension no one was worried if Boba would live or die in the end.

I felt so betrayed by the fact that Grogu and Mando reunited in such a chaotic moment. We waited years to see them come back together and the reunion felt SO rushed. It was literally about 20 seconds and then that woman says something like "save your tender moment for later!" ESSENTIALLY TELLING THE FANS THE SAME

I do understand that it wasn’t great for hardcore fans but I watched this with my dad who watched the original Star Wars when it first came to theaters and he love every second of it which made me enjoy the show much more.

This 4 person review series is perfect. Ray and Alex are perfect foils to the hyperactive Joes

My favorite part was boba complaining about how his arm hurt as he walked around watching the townspeople try to repair their houses and shops at the end

I feel like this is one of those shows that needs at least 13 episodes to resolve the multiple plot points it introduced while still giving Boba some spotlight. Hell, I don't even know why this had less episodes than the Mandalorian. TV series are getting shorter and shorter every year.

They did such a disservice to Cad Bane, it was awful, I hope he maybe survives but if that’s truly his death, I’m gonna be so more disappointed than I already am. This should have been spread out over another 3 episodes with more development. I don’t think this will get a 2nd Season, hopefully we get more Andor instead

Just onnnnnnne small thing at 7:10 , this technically works. In the Clones Wars in the Season 5 arc where Anakin Obi Wan Ahsoka and Rex train the Onderon rebels, they are shown training against Droidekas. They specifically point at, the grenades have to roll in at just the right speed or else they bounce. Also that scene in 2nd battle of Geonosis, where Rex slowly pushes his gun into the Droideka shield to kill the rolly boy. So technically, that is based in lore.

I wanted Boba to be like when I saw him in the Mandalorian. This show could have been 10 times better that way. But Mando and Luke needed to be here to save this show. 5/10 but just because the 2 episode without Boba.

This open table style of review was so entertaining! Good job guys!

The plot armor, bad shooting and poor decisons were strong in this one .. Especially moments like in the end where the conspirators who are located in a closed building are shot from the ceiling? A closed ceiling ... what?

I am 50% sure that Cad is still alive, a weird beeping noise is coming from him after Boba leaves him. So either it's a distress beacon that's going to call Todo to come and save him or it's a signal to somebody else letting them know he's dead and whoever that is will show up in either Mandalorian Season 3 or a Book of Boba Fett Season 2. I would not be surprised to see Cad come back since he did survive a blaster bolt to the cranium from Boba way back then.

The series had some cool moments, but it really felt like it needed more time. It's like they had this concept of Boba taking over Jabba's empire and becoming a crime lord in lieu of him becoming Mandalore, then had no idea what to do with it. For four episodes they barely did anything at all, the flashbacks were cool but didn't really provide anything we _needed_ to know, and ended rather abruptly as well. I thought for sure we were gonna see one more dream of Kamino (along with finally hearing that sweet-ass John Williams score). They used up two episodes on _Mandalorian_ season 3 (really thought Din visiting Grogu would be the opening of season 3 and that he'd just show up in Mos Espa next episode), and then in the last episode they were suddenly at war. It felt like they did all ("all") of it just to end up at the point they were at before the series even begun. It felt like they made the series only so they didn't have to explain Din's new starfighter, why Grogu is with him again (and so people won't complain when he gets fatally shot but turns out to be all right 'cause he's wearing mithril underneath his robes) and why Boba's a respected daimyō when Din inevitably visits him or needs his aid. And that sucks, 'cause with this series they've weakened both season 2 and season 3 of _The Mandalorian_ imho. I was looking forward to seeing Din without Grogu, just 'cause it would be so interesting after spending the majority of two series with them together. I was looking forward to seeing how he would cope, perhaps having scenes of Luke training Grogu spliced in, and then finally seeing them reunite after being apart for so long... And we didn't really need to see how Boba became this respected daimyō. We already saw him take Jabba's throne, in a scene that perhaps proved too badass for the show's own good. That's really all we needed. At least if all they were gonna have him do was dream and walk around, without much payoff. Boba was a badass in the last episode, him riding his rancor was awesome, though I am a sucker for anything pet-related, no matter the medium. In an alternate reality they would've had him ride the rancor in an earlier fight so we could get to see both the rancor and Slave I in action (outside of a flashback). I'm also gonna be really shocked if Cad Bane's actually dead. If only because Dave Filoni didn't direct it, and I would've thought for sure that he'd take on the directing job on an episode killing off such a big character that he helped create. I'd also completely forgotten about Fennec's mission. I love her, I truly do, but man, was I disappointed when they revealed who killed the leaders and it wasn't Boba. It makes sense she'd be the one to do that, but the series sorely needed more moments for Boba to be the badass we all know and love, and season 2 proved him to still be. That scene, and Fennec's awkward exit (which they seem to have a problem with, here's looking at you, Krrsantan), as cool as it was (exit notwithstanding), felt like something they added at the last minute 'cause they realised they forgot to show it. Honestly I feel like this should've been a film, or a mini-series, which it technically was (last time I saw they were calling it a one-off and _The Mandalorian_ season 2.5 at least), but they rushed Boba's story and wasted time on (presently) unrelated characters and plots.

Did Disney really think that this shit is what the fans wanted? When you think Boba Fett, the "most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy" do you think fat old man with a stick and robes who "rules with respect", makes stupid decisions constantly and is bossed around by women? No you think lone wolf bounty hunter who is dressed in Mandalorian armor, doesn't show his face, uses all his gadgets, is mysterious and a total badass. The problem is that character already exists and he's the Mandalorian.

A small part of my childhood died watching book of boba fett. They really made him a beta. Edit: book of beta fett.

45:20 ??? Bane literally says “I’ve known you a long time Boba” and also implies that Bane has been a mentor to Boba in the past by saying “Let me give you one final lesson”

I still don't get why the Cyber Gang looks like some sort of snobs, they don't remotely fit on a desert Planet...

The strangest thing I found about the show was that the Boba Fett we saw in The Mandalorian was completely different than in BoBF. When we saw him I’m Mando, the dude was ruthless, terrifying, and badass CRUNCHING (with an absolute capital C) Stormtroopers faces in, both in and out of Armour. He was the formidable bounty hunter we imagined him to be. And then at the end we saw him shoot an unarmed Bib-Fortuna in cold blood and claim his still warm throne. This made me think that BoBF was going to be about a ruthless bounty hunter deciding to form his own cartel and reclaim his former employer’s power and influence through fire and blood. And instead we got a… good guy. A surprisingly benevolent and just ruler, that rules through respect, which is nice and easy to root for, but doesn’t work for Boba Fett and doesn’t fit with what we saw before hand. 6/10

The problem wasn't Robert Rodriguez, it was "Disney" who "hired and allowed" him direct the most important episode of the series. Fantastic.

This whole series was me just (and all of us) consuming brainless Star Wars content instead of actually watching a well written Star Wars story.

22:04 and that's what made me laugh, expecially at the end when people seemed grateful to Boba Fett, even if he was in fact the reason for all the chaos 😅 And another funny moment was when the Freetown reinforcements arrived.. they were like 5 people! I was like.. that's it?? lol

They could of done Cade Bane one of two ways : 1) show him leading the crew killing the Tskugns 2) if want to redeem him or show him how he is in the animated when he finds out they killed them leave them or join Bobba . If you at least have him leave and say he didn’t sign up for that he could come back later. Instead they kill hon off one episode later what a waste

If you cut out the flashbacks, Mando, and grogu training. Youd have about an hour of Boba being useless. Great show 10/10

Yeah, from the very first scene with the scooter ranger gang telling Boba to stay in the ruins, i knew it was going to be stupid, and was just bracing myself for a disaster, all the potential that the previous episode was setting up, all ruined

I’d probably go 7/10 w/Mando episodes and 4/10 w/o. I liked what they tried to do but Boba is just so boring and absolutely outshined by most anyone else on screen. It isn’t Temeura’s fault at all though; it’s all the goofy writing. Boba just seemed like a chump. There are so many missed opportunities right and left. So many questionable decisions, like Boba scolding Fennec for flashing her gun. Ridiculous.

Was a HORRIBLE way to end Cad Bane’s character… so dissatisfying.

In addition to everything said, this show does the worst job I've ever seen of helping the viewer suspend disbelief. There are 0 consequences for any of the characters actions and nobody ever dies.

With this wrap up it felt like Ep5 & 6 were infact Mandolorian episodes they repurposed. There was a lot to like but a lot not to. One thing I didn't think of at the time but am now is the planning. They just placed people in different parts of the town, no planning beyond that, from two cold blooded killers in Fennic and Boba. No droids, no asking the town for help, but expecting Freetown to help? No warnings or traps which all could have been done with the resources at his disposal. In the Clone Wars episodes they made it clear that even as a child Boba was a good planner, he had contingencies he was not a haphazard guy but he seems ill-prepared for every situation he is faced with the entire show. The Rancor was cool to see, but it didn't fit. The situation called for speed being of the essence he decides instead of calling his ship which he can do from his gauntlet he instead flies off to get a Rancor that he has maybe had a week or so, and can ride it? He could have just used the Slave 1 to strafe the droids and knock them out quicker and with less overall damage than the Rancor caused.

It’s so funny hearing people like ‘oh, yeah, can’t WAIT for Andor’ all sarcastic lol We all did it

Hope to see more of Ray. Seems like a really chill guy.

Instead of riding the Rancor, why didn’t he fly in Slave 1? You know, where he wouldn’t be exposed and actually has weaponry.

What made you angriest about this series?

Cad Bane is still ALIVE. If you listen closely, his heart monitor starts beeping on the closeup shot after Boba Leaves.

Really liking Ray in these reviews. Compensates the other guys really well, hope he appears in more discussions like this!

The Book of Boba made me doubt their ability to do justice to Kenobi and Vader. Now I'm more worried then excited for the show.

I would've loved to see the Tusken Raiders involved in the last episode fight scene - Boba riding a Rancor with an army of Raiders would've been legendary. Also think they made a huge mistake not having Cad Bane be the one who massacred his Tusken Raider clan.

Honestly, you guys should add ray into more vids he’s pretty cool and it adds more discussion between you guys

I’m 100% with Ray on this. And I thought the exact same thing too with the whole slow blade penetrates the shield…lol.

The "musket" sniper rifle is a standard Tusken Sniper Rifle, its been around forever OJ.
