This is the second best Book of Boba Fett review I’ve ever seen👀

Young Sheev was such an optimistic youngster. "I like The Mandalorian." "I have hope for Ahsoka." Oh 2022 Sheev, you precious lil wrinkly bean...

Does anyone else absolutely despise the fact that Boba Fett, a "badass" mercenary recruits.... a scooter gang?

The thing that pissed me off about this show was how it undermined the ending of mando s2. And if you didn't care about bobba fett, you have to watch this to understand s3

The show was nothing but wasted potential

The worst defence for the show I've seen is the 'books have chapters' one.

Boba Fett is thin, wiry, cunning and totally cut throat. Not a big bulky old man who literally struggles to stand up from 1 knee. I can't imagine him allowing people to give him first aid let alone dress him. He would have either escaped or killed the sand monster before killing the CHILD they had enslaving him (wtf??) and then he would have gone back to the raiders and killed them all to get his armor back before leaving that shit hole forever. Also the angsty scooter teens were pure cringe and my eyeballs rolled to the other side of the galaxy.

im glad more are coming out about how utter trash it is, i felt like i was fighting alone after last episodes aired

This video summarized a lot of my feelings in a nutshell. A lot of people grilled me for even wanting more Boba fett in his own show. It was a ok show at best and just a terrible Boba fett show overall.

My pitch for this show would've been basically an outer space "Godfather" where Boba starts out with the best of intentions but has to sacrifice his morals bit by bit to keep his empire in tact with Fennec acting as the Devil on his shoulder. Then when he's become corrupted and realizes he actually likes the power of it, Mando and the others have to come in an save him from himself. I think that would've been a much better premise.

Star Wars fan be like: "Eh, not the best I've ever seen, didn't actually like much about it. I'll give it 8/10".

I swear, every new show with Luke Skywalker in it only exist to justify or explain how he became the way he is in the sequel trilogy.

Agreed. Really makes me worried about Obi Wan...if they tank that I’m effectively going to lose all hope for the rest of these shows that Disney insists have to exist

This show suffered from every factor Disney has put upon its content. Shitty lazy writing, time constraints, God awful directing, budget being spent carelessly, and no interest in telling a good story. Plus it was about 200% low on extras. Boba Fett was made to be a moron because DISNEY'S VERSION of Boba is WAY cooler, right? Do you see the pattern yet? All OT Characters MUST be made fools to make Disney's COPYCAT characters "better and cooler".

The artwork at the end of each episode was awesome in fact better than the actual program content

You didn't even mention that one scene where the Wookie mercenary - WHO IS THERE TO KILL HIM - successfully sneaks up on him while he is SLEEPING in his bacta chamber...and pulls him out of the chamber and throws him on the ground. Like, you were never going to get a better kill shot, and this supposedly lethal mercenary just throws Boba Fett around a little instead. Also, I'm sure the wookie's electrified knuckles were supposed to be cool, but don't wookies have CLAWS? And wouldn't those have just been better most of the time? This may be opinion, but I think the scene would have been a whole lot better - and even scarier - if Boba's bacta tank had had one last perimeter alarm that the Wookie activates, waking Boba at the last moment where he has to fight and dodge for his life. In those circumstances, they could have choreographed the fight so that the Wookie was more clearly trying to kill him, instead of just throw him around a little. If the studio executives were willing, one could easily have Boba taking some claw-related injuries in that fight as well. Being woken in the middle of the night for a sudden life-or-death situation without his armor still could have been an awesome and terrifying scene, IMO.

Yes, thank you! I'm tired of people heaping Robert Rodriguez with ALL the blame. It was a bizarre show top to bottom -- writing, directing (that chase man... oof), the utterly bizarre structure of completely shifting to Mando in the last third only to then switch AGAIN to "The Jedi Show", even the odd way Ahsoka and Luke acted given their respective "the Old Jedi Way was kinda bad" and "maybe attachments are a saving grace" character arcs only to inexplicably 180 with "let's try the same thing again!", and everything else in between. ______________ BoBF features Fett doing nothing but just rolling over for literally everyone which is so at odds with him talking back to Vader, demanding his armor back, ruthlessly killing Bib Fortuna. Every idea or tactic comes from one of his allies -- Fennec says to do this, Fennec says to do that, the Mod Squad Mos Vespa gang says to stay there, Mando says "this is the way." The only time he comes up with an original thought is "like a bantha." So... uh... there's that. Not only that, but he just lets everyone else walk all over him and he takes EVERYTHING at face value. He's honestly shocked to learn that the Pykes killed the Tuskens. Are you shitting me!? Literally the one real major character trait we learn about Boba Fett in the OT is that he's cunning as fuck. When even the Empire loses Han, Fett is the *only* one to correctly surmise Han's game and track him to Bespin. In BoBF, he can't even put 2 & 2 together to conclude that the crime empire he JUST stole from AND let everyone go free from was behind it just because they left behind conveniently placed graffiti? Come. On. And then the criminal bosses? FETT: Hey could you guys join me? BOSSES: lmao no. FETT: Pretty please? I even have a wancor. BOSSES: no dude. FETT: Okay okay, fine! Gosh. Could you like, at least pinky promise not to betray me? BOSSES: Uh sure, yeah. FETT: Well that settles things. They all seem like fine, upstanding, trustworthy gents. SHAND: Yep. And also no one will get to us, we're perfectly defended. FETT: Great. DROID: They got to us, we're not perfectly defended. FETT: Fiddlesticks. Who was it? DROID: You're never gonna believe it, but get this... it was the criminal bosses that *promised* not to betray you! FETT: *surprised pikachu face* WASH: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! _______________ Honestly, just to sum up how incredibly insane the lack of basic plot structure is... even with ALLLLL the other mounds of bullshit, they could have salvaged something at least vaguely resembling a plot at the end. They even had a few options! 1. Cad Bane confronts Fett. Reveals the Pykes killed the Sand People thinking it'll be some revelation. Fett gestures around and goes "why do you think I did ALL this?" Bane furrows his brow. "To bring the Pykes to me." Then the entire reason for taking over Jabba's criminal empire becomes a long con to get revenge on the Pykes. Sure, we still wouldn't really understand why he felt a kinship with them -- maybe they remind him of Mandalorians? I mean, this is a show that devoted like 5 minutes to a Wookiee bizarrely attacking Trandoshans which is never really explained and relies on you knowing the expanded universe lore of Trandoshans hunting and enslaving Wookiees; and never takes a minute to explain what spice is until a vague scene with Vanth in the *second to last episode.* Okay, but Boba is an idiot and doesn't know, so what now? 2. Cad Bane confronts Fett. Reveals the Pykes killed the Sand People. He then lets that sink in for a moment and adds. "Who do you think they hired to slaughter those savages?" before smiling that toothy grin. So now we know Cad Bane is *directly* responsible for the deaths of Boba's adopted Tusken family. He has a tangible connection to the plot of the show, ties the Tuskens back in (you know... like a STORY!) and becomes the main antagonist. So then when Boba does the thing with the stick -- you know, the stick thing, the thing he did cause Tuskens... NOW it's got SOME ounce of poetic justice, no? I'm not saying it's good. It's like... high school creative writing but for a simple western revenge story, that works well enough! Okay, but no, deciding to make things make less sense and not do that, they still had ONE... FINAL... chance for any semblance of basic story telling. 3. Cad Bane confronts Fett. Reveals the Pykes killed the Sand People. For whatever reason, Cad Bane is ultimately unimportant and his role could have been fulfilled by literally anyone, existing or brand new, but he at least served to reveal that the Pykes were behind the deaths of Boba's adopted family; a family he thought he had already laid to rest and gained vengeance for by killing the biker gang. Now he knows the truth. So he gets revenge on the ones truly responsible for the Tuskens' deaths. lolno, Fennec does that lmao SO WHAT WAS THE ENDING!?

It was definitely a show I could've done without. The Luke and Mando episodes were the best so that says a lot. Boba should've just stayed a guest star on Mandos show.

The show was garbage. Lazy writing, lazy directing, lazy set pieces. The show only exists because they needed filler content to keep Disney+ Subscriptions and because they could reuse the Mandalorian Tattooine set pieces, costumes, and CGI. Obi-Wan will be set on Tattooine as well, and wouldn’t put it past Ahsoka spending a lot of time on Tattooine or another desert planet in her show.

Not gonna lie, during the whole "The Mandalorian" series, I've never looked at how much time was left on an episode. During the very first episode of "The Book of Boba Fett", I kept watching how much time was left because I was bored to tears lol. It was sad that the only good episodes were the ones with Mando and Grogu. I don't really care if they changed Boba's character (as in how he act and thinks) because people change as the years go by, but they make it look like Mandalorians are nothing without their armors and that, is something I didn't liked. All in all, this show was what I thought it was going to be, just a filler while they fixed the issues they had with Pedro Pascal about making a third season for The Mandalorian.

This is like a high-budget CW show.

While watching it, I am astonished on how dumb and nonsensical of the show is. I legitimately questioning if the writers are children with brain damage or not. People liking it makes me confused that they even seen the same show as me. Yeah you liked it is cool there's many aspect of the show can be liked, but if you do not recognized what is going on in how characters act and the progression of the story then I say you're disillusion. I liked it how bad it is, "YES I go directly face on top of the pit to look for my armor(even though I come out the pit with my armor and conscious about it). OH NO I AM STUCK IN THE PIT AGAIN"

When Luke showed up in the 6th episode I was so happy but when he said that attachment bs I was so pissed. Vader literally became Anakin again because of his attachment to Luke. The people at Disney have to stop making there sequels dog shit and just make the separate timeline of what really happened. Legends is the real star wars not some bad writers rushing movies out for money. When Luke wasn’t in episode 7 of BOBF I was so pissed. Boba and Luke meeting again would have been strange but also in a way cool. That’s my opinion, the rest of the show was honestly ruining boba fett. I used to love this character now I am realizing that I might not anymore. Luckily for me the OT boba is a thing

I feel like the series should've focused more on his origins. Start on Kamino in the flashbacks, show his life through the years, they have Temuera Morrison, why not show Jango Fett or the clones. They could've used Daniel Logan to show some history between Boba and Cad Bane. After The Mandalorian S2 reintroduced him, I would've expected him to act a little more villainous after threatening to shoot Grogu.

The dumbest thing a Star Wars character has ever done? Did you not see the Last Jedi?!?

I'm a Filoni fan, and I agree with all of your points. Book of Boba Fett is stupid. No man is immune from criticism

"Deaf ears?" Nah. The Book of Boba Fett was beyond disappointing. And for many more reasons than you stated.

Love your use of the Mandalorian Funeral Music in the end, basically what this show felt like to me. The death of Boba's character.

Maaaannn I thought I was the only one that thought luke Skywalker making Grogu choose was bullshit and wAyyyyyy outta character it was Luke attachment to his father that brought Vader back to the light

so true! they basically took that one line from the unfinished clone wars episode of the boba and cad bane duel where boba says "no more people are going to die, all living locked up, all living fair" (or something like that) and turned into a show which just doesn't work. We don't have the full context of those unfinished episodes but as i saw that scene it meant that boba had unrealistic expectations, and he would later mature and not care about that anymore. I can also see the argument that since his father was taken from him that's his motivation but as cool as the unfinished episodes seemed to be it just doesn't make sense with the boba we see in the OT. It just seemed like Filoni wanted his boba to be that honorable again since he didn't get to finish those clone wars episode but the tuskens are such a lazy excuse for it. Also luke and ahsoka's scenes were so bad, like they of all people (not just all jedi but all people) tell grogu that jedi shouldn't form emotional attachment? what??

I never realized how flawed BoBF was until this video. I have to thank you for putting everything into perspective for me. You voiced my subconscious feelings towards this show. I mean, I like it, but there's just an underlying sense of dread I feel while I was watching... Now lemme add a tidbit. I cannot say with certainty, as it is PURE speculation... but perhaps the MASSIVE writing flaws in this show aren't just from the writers. As we have seen, Disney as a corporation is a money-hungry beast who want to cram anything with their branding on it down the throats of viewers and fans, regardless of quality. They oftenly do this with Marvel, as we have seen... Now, Filoni and Favreau have shown us what they can do with Star Wars. Look at The Mandalorian. We all adore that show. We love it because the characters are compelling, the stories are moving and ooze with actual substance and LIFE... that being said; with an entity like Dinsey at your back, breathing down your neck to make em MORE money with no questions asked is bound to lead to writing flaws. I am willing to bet that Disney demanded a spin off with "popular, marketable character Boba Fett" not because the fans wanted it, and not because it was necessary for the world-building and storytelling, BUT because it would give them profits. For me, the red flags about this went up with all the other spin offs announced after Mando: Ahsoka, Kenobi, Rex (?), Bad Batch, etc etc. That all being said, this definitely doesn't EXCUSE the bad writing. Hell no. They should've taken more time to proof read, edit, and polish. However, I feel like my tidbit adds more nuance to the situation as a whole. We can only HOPE that Disney and the writers will see the MASSIVE criticism it's getting and get it together to keep Star Wars going strong, and get it back on track.

I really don't think is that bad of a show, but damn it, it's still frustrating that the show about Boba Fett is more focused on other characters around him. Why is it called "The Book of Boba Fett" again?

The most Boba Fett thing that happened in this series was when he finally got his ship back and killed the nikto gang. He was straight faced and it was pure ruthlessness. Merciless Boba Fett is what I wanted to see. I didn't like the tusken raider based episodes at all. It made Boba Fett look weak and very silly a lot of the time. I'd like to see Boba Fett not get another season but instead be merged into Mando season 3 and get him helping with the Mandalorian questline. I liked the brotherhood aspect created between him and Din where Din didn't need payment to help Boba and how later Din was willing to die alongside Boba because they respect each other and its the right thing to do (this is the way) something that Boba was not raised by but begins to understand its about loyalty and mutual respect all things he wants to find in common criminals but won't. Since both of them are basically clan less now it would be awesome to see them create a new clan or something along those lines (the Mandalorian misfits). Just my two cents and great video!

This show should have been totally different. It should have been boba venturing off into the galaxy to fix unsettled scores, along the way evolving from some heartless mercenary to what this show wants us to see Boba as. Instead of getting Nar Shadaa and other seedy underworld planets, we get more sand and pointless practical effects for the sake of practical effects.

You hit the nail on the head about this show. They ruined the character and honestly I just wish they would have left Boba RIP in the Sarlaac pit. I say that as a fan of the character too. I have little hope for Kenobi now.

I think 3/10 is a reasonable rating. This show suffered from a lot of problems, especially bad writing and those increadibly forced fanservice cameos by characters that barely behave like themselves. With the Mandalorian and the Bad Batch being also just mediocre shows I have bad feelings for Obiwan and Ahsoka. I think I'll just rewatch the Clonewars and play with my Legos.

Temuera Morrison really deserved better.

*unadulterated But yeah, the brightest parts of this show were Temuera Morrison's dentures.

I couldn’t agree more. I will never watch this show again and if the Kenobi series is ruined too I will quit on Star Wars completely.

I wish it took place during the Empire's rule while he was growing up and training.

I was laughing throughout the whole show at how bad the show was and at how savagely you went in on it. You earned my subscription. 💪😎

Hi. The Future here. They managed to f’k up Obi-Wan too.

I think my personal biggest issue with the show, and I think is probably the most apparent aside from the show literally shifting into being Mando season 2.5, is the fact that Cad Bane, who was the *main antagonist* , gets introduced in the last few minutes of the second to last episode, if I were in their position, I personally would’ve revealed him much earlier on to give him time to shine as an antagonist for the show rather than saving him for the last minute just for the sake of a big reveal, as I think Cad Bane being in the show would’ve been much better if he actually got a good amount of focus honestly, that’s the issue with the whole show, a lack of focus

"And for the love of god lets hope kenobi doesn't get ruined too." aged like fine wine 🤣🤣

"And for the love of God let's pray Kenobi doesn't get ruined too." Ooof. As a latecomer to the channel... yikes. Palpy aged better than that.

I love the ideas of this show and the idea of a mature Boba Fett who knows what his morals and desires in the world truly are. But man even as an easy guy to satisfy this show barely does anything for the ideas this show wants to convey. This whole show reeks of crunched development and hesitation. What sorta makes me cynical the most is how the idea of a story could be more conveyed. We should have had an episode about Boba Fett interacting with the citizens of Tatooine and hearing what they have to say instead of just talking to 2D evil crime lords, a moment where we find out why spice is so gosh darn dangerous, the reason why Boba Fett wants to change the living style of Tatooine and a confrontation on what he actually wants to do as a crime lord and him having to prove that he actually wants to fight for people now. For a crime lord show we do not even have stakes on what would happen if Boba Fett fails and gets killed. Why do we care about a random planet being ran with spice? WHAT DOES SPICE DO??? Beyond this show I am just wondering what they can even do with Boba Fett in the first place because they barely even tried developing him having a desire to gain some power. It's like the worst thing you can ever get from a crunched Disney+ storyline. I like The Bad Batch and while there are wasted episodes at the very least I can feel like there is some natural development being given to make me wonder and theorize what could happen next.

Y’know why they made Grogu return to Din? Because otherwise the implication would be that Grogu got killed during the burning of the temple we see in the sequel. And because Grogu is such a cash cow, implying he does is a no-go

How did Disney manage to make me not care about a TV show about my favorite character in Star Wars? The world may never know. Also show don’t tell. Why is that so hard for people to understand?

I am only a casual Star Wars fan at most and this series is the only one I've watched because pop culture has said Boba Fett is the most bad ass character ever! People seem to love the Mandalorian, and I'm a longtime fan of Ming-Na Wen so I was down to give it a try and just couldn't comprehend the hype. Basically for the reasons you outlined here. He is utterly uncompelling which would be fine if the far more interesting supporting players were developed at all. Still, I wouldn't call it terrible. Confused? Sure, but I never regretted watching it. There were still some magical moments. But this series has tempered my expectations for Obi Wan and Ashoka. I have been trying to learn some lore so I won't be completely lost so I hope I come across some material that explains better Boba's ba reputation.

It’s funny because Boba literally has textbook Stockholm syndrome with the Tuskins. and you can even say this isn’t even unintended. but when you bring it up to people in Star Wars forms and Facebook groups you get branded as a “toxic hater” I mean shit.. we are really supposed to believe that being captured by the Tuskins and manipulated by them made him a nice moral person? ladies, if a dude puts you in an abusive relationship, manipulates and gaslights you.. Would you, A) reevaluate your life, becoming a moral person and trusting of everyone despite not before? B) become infinitely more reserved, not readily trusting anyone and overall becoming bitter and resentful? Point is, Boba should be more ruthless after the Tuskins than ever before. It’s a dumb excuse

They always gotta do my boy luke dirty… I hate it that’s not even shit he’d say. So I know my dad almost ruined the galaxy partially because of the Jedis flawed views on attachments, but uh let’s keep doing that sure

The bit where he embraced the tusken life style was the justification as to why he was using a Gaffi stick in Mando S2.

It made no sense why he all of a sudden had such a change of heart. Maybe he learned the importance of "friendship" from the raiders, but he can still value loyalty while being ruthless. We know even from canon lore, he modified his ship after Jango to have smaller, less comfortable prisoner cells. He froze Solo in carbonite, and even in comics we see him flat out kill an ex-empire general who just wanted to see a recording of his wife, after he didn't have the money to pay in the end. Boba in this show is a joke. I'm hoping they make a second season where they redeem him, but also afraid they will only dig a deeper hole.

I really love this show sure it had some bad parts but we saw him go through an actual character arc. He was a killer then he found a family (the Tuskens) when this family was taken from him he changes his motive. He just wants a family. Throughout the saga people keep telling him he’s just like his father Cad Bane even says this “You’ve got your fathers blood pumping through your veins.” This show wasn’t about him becoming a leader, it was about him finding a family and proving to people that he can change his fate and be better than Jango. And when he’s in trouble he ignites the killer within not to cause harm but to protect his people. When he’s attacked by assassins he spares them symbolizing that people can change. He doesn’t want to be like other rulers this is shown by his dialogue with fennec. Where she says to him that he should be carried around to show his power and he declines. He faces real struggles with the mayor when he returns the assassin when this approach doesn’t work he becomes the killer we knew him to be. To protect and serve his people. Cad Bane isn’t just a villain but a reflection of his past. And with that he ultimately defeats his past. The show takes his death not as one but as a rebirth and a chance to change.

Nailed it. I feel like they didn't even try with this one. I think Kenobi is even worse though tbh.

Everything you said on the video is spot on. Especially the bit about Luke giving Grogu an ultimatum. It doesn’t even make sense for Luke to follow Galactic Republic-era Jedi philosophy since that’s exactly the whole reason why his father became a Sith Lord? Also, when I binged BOBF, I was confused to see two full episodes on The Mandalorian and Grogu with no connection to whatever’s happening to Boba Fett whatsoever. I would have loved those episodes on Mandalorian S3, now people would have to watch BOBF to understand why Grogu is in S3 of the Mandalorian. I honestly feel like it wasn’t driven by storytelling, it was because they needed to pull casual Mandalorian fans to watch BOBF. So now they’ll have enough numbers to ensure the show does good and that is just fucking sad. Because Boba Fett in Legends was a true badass, more so than Mando. Also sad because Disney Boba seems too tired and old. Like, Disney, redemption arcs only work when you show us how the character gets there. BOBF shows us flashbacks of his time with Tuskens that enslaved him and for some reason he decides to go help them out of the goodness of his heart. Really…the guy who took Empire bounties and worked for Vader wants to save a bunch of savage sand raiders in a backwater planet because…just because?

I guess they needed a scene where he said "since I nearly died in the Sarlac...my heart is changed and I want to make things right in the world." They never did anything like this so now you have to ask yourself why he cares about Tatooine and being a goodie-two-shoes instead a one-man wrecking crew mercinary.

It's a bit of a mess. I like this Boba aside from him being too much of a goody-two-shoes (a form of weakness tbh), which is a pretty glaring fault of the series. Though I don't mind his sappy love of animals. We can only hope they kind of redeem him in season 2 by making him a morally grey badass again. It's possible. It would help to get there if he loses his position as the self-appointed protector of Tattooine, and perhaps that is the plan, with the hints that either the Mandalorian or Boba will fulfill the Mandalore prophecy (mirroring of the Chosen One prophecy) and become the grand leader. A lot of fans are tired of Tattooine and I am too, to an extent, but a big reason for it is because they're making a deliberate mirroring between Boba and Vader. I kinda dig that... even though it can be argued it's lazy and derivative of what came before. But there's always been an indication that Boba and Vader are similar to each other, starting with ESB, as there's some kind of respect and understanding between them. Not to mention, the biggest similarity between them is seen in AOTC, where both Anakin and Boba lose their only parent. Then of course in this series, Boba experiences a harrowing rebirth but it redeems him instead of solidifying his bad qualities. But he still needs to be bad, like a proper anti-hero.

📌Disney-fied version of the mob was never gonna work. The premise was doomed from the start. Hey guys instead of extortion let's give money to the poor! Do the writers know how the mob gets their finances??

7:35 The fuckers didn't even do anything! Instead of Ashoka telling Luke about his parents, training him in the ways of the jedi, literally ANYTHING, she just comes in as a home wrecker to prevent Grogu from having attachments, screw over Luke, and then leave without doing anything actually useful! XD

Luke hasn't been written properly since the original EU (Post Return Of the Jedi).

I initially thought this would just be another video bashing the show, but now that I've finished watching it... yeah, I kinda have to agree that the shows could have been a whole lot better

Saying Dave Filoni is "saving" Star Wars is like saying the sack of Constantinople during the 4th Crusade "saved" the city.

Oh, if I've learned anything as a SW fan is that we are not very smart and we all hate SW.

expectation: godfather meets narcos in space reality: dances with wolves meets mando s3 sneak peek in horrible writing

The reason why Luke is anti attachment is because he has to make the same mistakes for the sequel trilogy to happen. So yeah technically it’s not Jon or Dave’s fault…

Can you make a video about your feelings towards Vader fighting kenobi in the upcoming kenobi series?

Luke is written so badly in the show. You would think Luke who cut his jedi training short to save his friends would maybe sympathize with Grogu, and maybe bond with him. Its also a massive plot convenience that R2 just so happened to go to a hangar that the mechanic woman owns. What if R2 went to a different hangar, would R2 just wait there untill the mandalorian shows up? Also the show makes pretty much all of the mandalorian season 2 pointless.

I genuinely think that the writers just didn't know what show they were writing. As someone who does a lot of writing myself, both literature and film, I can safely say that there's a lot of things I write that I just don't know about. For example, I have to write scenes of complicated geopolitics as a person who doesn't know anything about geopolitics. Because I'm an amateur, I can sort of fly by the seat of my pants, and get the bare minimum of realism right. But in the case of this show, I feel like the writers had the same problem - none of them knew anything about criminal organizations - but didn't even try to learn before writing it. They just said "it's... like being the sheriff, I guess", and just moving forward with that idea. Compound that with the weird pacing and the Mando scenes, where it feels like they were debating whether to make this season 3 of mando, and it really does just seem like they had no clue what they were trying to accomplish.

Tbh this show had me confused a few times The Peacemaker show is even better

The worst part is they made him a chump in his own show. Hes supposed to be a bad ass but hes made be a fool constantly.

Luke's "no attachment" thing was completely stupid. All Luke does in the original trilogy is form attachments to friends. It's beyond dumb

I have a Boba Fett wallet and since this show came out all that happens when I look at my wallet now is it reminds me of how disappointing and a let down Boba was. It reminds me of the toned back lamer Boba and not the absolute G we got left with after Mando S.2. Why did he drastically change character in like a week or two? He fucking murdered the shit out of people in Mando and now he doesn’t even wanna be a mean guy lol I wanted more of him being a big ole bad ass.

I don't think it was that bad. It did have some laughably terrible moments but most of the great moments on every episode made the show decent for me.

Luke: I married my assassin and had a son with her, and developed a close relationship with my nephews and niece. Jake: aTtAcHmEnT iS fOrBiDdEn

I just can’t comprehend how many Star Wars movies and now shows have been on tattoine. It was in 2 of the originals, 2 of the prequels, mando now boba. It’s a shit hole planet in a universe where they could literally make up any new planet they desire or current ones we don’t know as much about

A good narrative. Episode 2 and 5 whete excellent. The rest....maybe 6 The point about the Tuskens is well....he completely forgets about the other Tribe and what happened to rhe female? Biker Gang attached the same aching school as Daisy Ridley

Honestly, I agree with the points you've been making. The only fight scenes that were visually engaging were the ones in the Mando episode. Probably because it was done by someone who can actually direct action, compared to the flat, overcast bs Robert Rodriguez did in Mando season 2 and in this show. It sucks too, because I like Robert Rodriguez. He makes fun movies, but the man just isn't cut out for show running. It sucks that we had to wait over a year for more live action Star Wars and this is what we got. The best moments with Boba were when he murdered an entire swoop gang in a bar fight and said nothing, and when he stabbed Cad Bane in the chest and said nothing.

Disney taking out childhood hero’s and ruining them. No reason to write something good when all they are going to do is bring back characters we loved from much better shows. That’s really all these new Star Wars are is just nostalgia.

This show was so bad 🤣🤣 like that part when the biker chick got that super epic motivational hype speech yet it’s like… ok? Who tf are you you’ve done nothing. They tried to make her all brave for wanting to stay in the city but if their goal is to protect the people of mos espa why wouldn’t they go to the heavily fortified palace 😂😂😂 this show is so laughably so horribly written so cringey Star Wars media ever

It had some good ideas but wasn't done well. You can tell it's low-budget as well which makes watching it quite 'painful' because the backgrounds and environments aren't 'alive' enough with activity - aliens/droids/creatures. Sadly we are in the times of low-budget Star wars which will always be on Tattooine because its easy and cheap to film on a sand planet.

It’s a 6/10 show with some good episodes, I only like 3 episodes of the show. I wanted it to be a stand anole project especially after his episode in mando season 2, sad to say this John and Dave putting so much effort with Mandalorian,they forgot about bobafett.

So, the whole episode with Luke and Grogu was already intrinsically flawed because it never should've happened in the first place Still, the whole concept of Luke insisting Grogu has to choose between being a Mandalorian and a Jedi because attachments aren't allowed is. . . weird. The thing is that Jedi and Mandalorians already have contradictory philosophies. The Mandalorians stress the importance of strength, honor, and self-reliance against a hostile universe whereas the Jedi, while not true Pacifists, stress the importance of maintaining internal harmony and never using The Force, their most powerful tool, as a direct weapon, only defensively. So. . .that's the contradiction right there. The writers didn't need to force any weird "no attachment" dogma

its bad to the point of parody, his Boba Fetts armor doesn't even fit him and his belly sticks out form underneath 😅

I was really pumped when I imagined this series as a Godfather homage where an aging Boba Fetteone would navigate his retirement from bounty hunting as our brutal but likeable crime boss. A psycho with a softer side learning to balance the iron fist and the velvet glove. But nope... They should have cut out the spice syndicate plot entirely and had the throughline be the Hutt's disputing Don Fetteone's rule as daimyo. I thought Fennec Shand played a good consigliere when she wasnt dumping exposition on us like a hooker in a swing above John McAfee. RIP, king. Also its too bad they got half way through the season and realized theyd lost the plot and decided to shoehorn in Mando season 2.5... SMH what else is there to say?? Goodbye, Star Wars.

You nailed it. With the exception of episodes 5 and 6. This is one of the dumbest shows outside of the CW.

What about trying to find luke and get his revenge? Would have been more plausible than to take over jabba’s palace. That’s just not bounty hunter like.

With Book Of Boba and the sequels I've made up my mind that my head cannon is only what Lucas did, no new Disney stuff. As much as they have succeeded with Clone Wars 7 and Mando I feel that the failure of episodes 7-9 and Boba don't make me want to see any of the new stuff and to leave it at what we were left, what George Lucas left us.

I am disappointed in Filoni and Faverou for this series. But hold your horses and lets not forget Mandalorian and how good that was. Idk what happened here but it seems like they lost their ability to make fantastic Star Wars entertainment after Mandalorian season 2.

I on the same side of the fence as you man; show wsa awful. The only thing that kept me watching was when Mandalorian Season 3 inserted itself into the plot, then it became so much better lol. Very sloppy writing though. Felt way too Disney-fied

You’ve been waiting ten years? Some of us have waited 30-40 years. I remember back in the day before the prequels and the unaltered original trilogy when boba Fett and Star Wars overall had mystique and soul. The good ole days

The worst crime of this show is killing my interest in the Mandalorian which is one of my fav shows. I cried so hard when Din let Grogu go and I was so excited for the future but now…Reuniting Din and Grogu completely ruins the amazing finale of season 2, so at this point..I don’t even care about their characters anymore if any random spinoff can completely ruin an amazing experience like that legendary scene. Clearly Disney ruined the storytelling to market Grogu. If Ashoka and Obi Wan are bad, I’m ditching Star Wars for good.

man I like they way you stated the facts but you missed the fact that Robert Rodriguez edited every episode except the Mandalorian episodes

Boba Fett should be a secondary or background character. He was one of the most popular Star Wars characters for decades despite him having no back story and almost no personality. Anything they do to define who he is will just go against what people have built up in their heads. Just leave him be. He can cameo on The Mandalorian every so often, but that's it.

You know, I actually quite enjoyed the early episodes where he was with the Tuskan Raiders. Then it basically got worse and worse.

Mfs grilled me for hating this show saying it's called the book of boba fett and a book has several different characters. Like bro.... wtf has happened to this fanbase??? Are you hearing yourself?? Why are we so blinded by Filoni worship that we are physically incapable of calling his bullshit??? Sure he made TCW. So what?? Lucas also made the OT and took a completely dump with the prequels. That doesn't mean anything.

Well, we all knew it was coming. But I mean, it did have some strong moments that I hope you will adress.

they did that on purpose, disney, to ruin more george lucas original characters and the og lore etc...next up obi wan

Yo can I just add this what happened to Jana the hutt's son who was the main plot point of the clone wars story? Why are "the twins" seeking claim to Jana's territory wouldn't his son be the one to inherit it. Seriously after the clone wars we never hear from him again.

Bib Fortuna COULD have taken over for Jabba, especially as a crime lord. The Godfather notwithstanding, primogeniture does not govern succession in criminal organizations. Bib Fortuna's title is majordomo. In France, after the fall of the Roman Empire, there was an official who was sort of the right-hand man of the King, called Mayor of the Palace, which basically translates into "majordomo", and by the end of the Merovingian Dynasty, the Mayors of the Palace were actually ruling and the Kings were their puppets or front men. Eventually, a Mayor of the Palace took over as the actual king, and his son was Charlemagne. So a position of close personal proximity to a ruler could pay off in claiming their throne after them. This was especially the case in more lawless times and places where laws of succession didn't matter so much as practical power. Which would also be the case with a criminal syndicate. In the case on the show, as Jabba's head of the household, and the greeter at his door, Bib Fortuna would have known everyone who had dealings with Jabba, he would have known all about Jabba's business and his schedule and whom he saw and how often. He would have been in charge of providing for them on their visits, giving him intimate knowledge of their preferences and habits and if he was observant, their personalities and strengths and weaknesses. He almost certainly would have had access to at least some of Jabba's money, in order to pay the bills and salaries. He would have been among the first to know of Jabba's death, and a lot of Jabba's courtiers would have been leaders in his organization, whom Jabba would have kept close to him where he could keep an eye on them, and thus, died when Luke & Leia destroyed his sail barge. Other leaders in Jabba's organization would have been located some distance away, and thus Bib Fortuna would have had a head start on them in claiming pieces of territory and seizing his assets. Heck, I think he was visible ON the sail barge, so if he survived it somehow, he might have been the only one who knew Jabba was dead for a while, and might have been able to do a number of things in Jabba's name that would make his own transition easier once Jabba's death became public knowledge. Another point (supported, IMO, by the emptiness of Bib Fortuna's throne room) is that Bib Fortuna did not necessarily control all of Jabba's empire, maybe just a rump fraction of it. He might have claimed the throne and some of the local businesses and assets, but other henchmen and captains in Jabba's organization, as well as some of his rivals, would have claimed the best territory and most lucrative enterprises, and let Bib Fortuna keep the title and throne, because none of them were confident enough to try to claim the whole empire for themselves against the other contenders, and decided to let this fat goober posture and draw the attention and wait to see who took him down. I am, however, morally certain, that this is a case of a stopped clock being right twice a day, and this never passed through the brains of Filoni and Favreau.
