Yep.

@@FullFatVideos yup

@Ewan Callister yes

@Ewan Callister okay, not 20 consistent years, but just because ewan mcgregor hasnt been in a star wars project since 2005 doesnt mean he hasnt also been a massive part of the franchise for 20 years

@Ewan Callister he also replaced Jason wingreens voice for Boba Fett in the 2004 special edition of Empire, played the voice of Jango Fett, Boba Fett and the clones in Battlefront (2004) and Battlefront 2 (2005) even delivering some of the sickest 501st clone monologues during the BF2 campaign. Not to mention he reprised his role for Boba in Battlefront and Battlefront 2 (2015-17) Idk maybe you didn’t play a lot of Star Wars video games growing up but I totally agree that Tem has played a huge role in the legacy of Star Wars. more than most of the other prequel actors, that’s for sure!

Its not even as dark as the first season of Mando!

@@FullFatVideos Exactly. Even Mando's first scene in Book of Boba Fett has the kind of tone this show needed. I think this show should've been set on Coruscant or even been a show about Boba tracking down and taking out those who had wronged him like he did with Bib Fortuna. I'm actually surprised they didn't tie this into Omega from Bad Batch actually, considering she's technically his sister.

Not to mention it fell under the whole "Found Family" troupe Filoni has been pushing with The Mandalorean and The Bad Batch. He keeps going back to the same damn well. XD

Fuck Exactly ! but that is why the PG-13 + Disney's Filth is DESTROYING everything

@@AppleWasMyIdea I really hope they don't drag in Omega. That would completely kill the stakes present in the Bad Batch, which is a much better (if flawed) show. Not that ruining things just to build hype is something that they'd be averse to doing, as shown in the Book of Boba Fett.

I loved Boba Fetts cameo in Episode 6

'meMBeR bIG cHuNGUs!!?!?!

@@FullFatVideos yes, the cameos were the best

Same as Mando Season 2 honestly

Well, Filoni did kinda the same thing with Rebels. I remember season two when first there was Ahsoka, then Rex, Wolf and Greg, then Hondo, then Lando and Leya... And Wedge Antilles, Bo Katan with Maul and Obi-Wan in season three. It's like his signature move... Like he peaked good writing with "Clone Wars" and now just makes callbacks to it whenever he doesn't know what to do with his current shows.

the main theme is so damn good!

That's Jeremy Soule for you. Always knows how to compose amazing music for games.

@@FullFatVideos yes I fucking love star wars bounty hunter had such fond memories of dying over and over again to the bando gorra

They could've copied Mad Max Fury Road

He was a side character in ESB and RoTJ with one or two lines though..

@@jackrussell3084 But those movies weren't about him. This was supposed to be his show and he was apparently the protagonist despite how the show played out.

@@SefniAsheforr Exactly… He’s the title character for God’s sake 🤣

@@jackrussell3084 He wasn't a side character in ESB, he had a major role, he was basically the no2 villain of the movie.

Boba Fett hasn't been the slightest bit mysterious ever since first the damned EU detailed every possible last detail of his past and his future, and then George Lucas gave us kid Boba in the prequels and Clone Wars.

To be fair, Boba was a villain. He worked for the cruelest crime lord in the Outer Rim and then Darth Vader. He watched Jaba's slave girl be torn to shreds by the Rancor and didn't bat an eye. He almost shot Chewie in ESB because the Wookie was having a tantrum about his friend being dunked in carbonite and even Vader had more compassion there. So they could have differentiated the character by simply making him a villain, but with some standards (like his own personal code). It would have given him some honor but still kept him ruthless, and not like Mando, who deep down has a kind heart. Boba stood on his own principles but he was not compassionate. Simple, and they somehow screwed that up. Makes zero sense.

The only crimes boba commit is ONE murder (killing Bib Fortuna) and then he runs a half assed protection racket on like two businesses. What a ""crimelord""

To be fair boba fett was a cold blooded killer who worked for the empire

Sounds closer to the original line too

There lies the main problem with Boba and Bane in the show - they had no interaction in the Clone Wars show or any tie in material for that matter. There was supposed to be an arc where Bane would take Boba under his wing, but it was shelved after the show was cancelled. In other words the final enemy the protagonist has to face in this show is someone whose history with him has never been, and probably never will be, televised.

Yes. The episode should have started with Boba and maybe the flashbacks then cut to the Cobb Vanth and Cad Bane scene

They seem to have that syndrome, going from the quality of the Clone Wars to the atrocity of the first half of the last season, that was then followed up by some of the greatest Star Wars media in the entire franchise. Let us not forget they also made Rebels, it's almost like a bi-polar switch. Can't have it be consistently good, gotta throw in shit every few times.

@@imotekh6110 Wow, I think you are on to something. It actually makes a lot of sense creatively. When you try new things and go all in, sometimes it's great, and sometimes it sucks. I still prefer the highs and lows of taking risks like this, than the consistently-watered-down trash of the sequels.

@@imotekh6110 Rebels is an excellent show, first series isn’t great but it improves massively with the last two series being brilliant.

@@nighthawk6777 As much as the showing so far has been very mixed in what's put out. A part of me understands that comes with the nature of experimenting with the series. Ideally they learn the experiments in Book of Boba went poorly and correct with the newfound knowledge. It goes to show when the most well received episode of the franchise has little or nothing to do with the titular character.

For myself it absolutely makes sense as all those shows are at least 50% unwatchable soporific filler which I do not have the patience to Wade through. Mandalorian is still filled with ass characters and dynamics and a general sense of purposelessness (which has now been exacerbated by all the core story implications from s2 being resolved in… a completely different fucking show. While this is the worst of all of them, it’s hardly the huge step down people claim either. After all, favreau followed up Iron Man with Iron Man 2; he’s a bit hacky

Same tbh

I'm... not.... I wish we focused more on Boba. The Mando episodes should have been saved for Mando Season 3... I'm glad they exist but they sucked the life from the rest of the show.

Can’t all be winners 😆

2008 Favreau was a lot better than the version we've had for the past half decade.

@@SefniAsheforr Mandolorian was good though

Not true, yes there is similarities, but from wat I seen in the mandalorian boba fett was more ruthless and would have no problem doing things din would never do and all that was thrown out, it honestly doesn't mean anything any more

With the introduction of Din Djarin, Boba Fett was rendered redundant. They are both cut from the same cloth. In this situation, when you have two similar characters, they should be written as foils to each other. That was my expectation for the Book of Boba Fett. When I saw the end credit scene to the Mandalorian season 2 finale, I thought it was a stroke of brilliance having Boba Fett become a crime lord, a more organic direction for his character than his Legend's counterpart, in my opinion. I never thought Fett made a good Mand'alor, neither did his father for that matter. If Din Djarin is shaping up to be sort of a "knight king," Boba Fett, the kingpin, makes for an interesting contrast. It's too bad the series squanders this opportunity. The route I would've taken is this. While Din is beholden to tradition and honor, Fett is only motivated by pragmatism and strength. While Fett understands respect, he thinks the Mandalorian ways hold them back, shackle them from achieving total victory. Even the Mandalorian season 2 demonstrates that Fett and Din are not the same person from their fighting styles. Fett is described as a barbarian to Din's gunslinger. The series should lean into this savagery that makes Fett different from other Mandalorians. He can still rule with respect rather than fear, but he is motivated by self-interest. We can keep Din and him working together to fight the Pykes, but throughout the battle have Din realize that Fett and him are not as alike as he once thought. Fett routes the Pykes and a few of them surrender. Din leans towards sparing them. I would think it might be seen as dishonorable to kill an enemy that already surrendered. However, Fett executes all the prisoners, reasoning he doesn't have the manpower to keep them locked up in Jabba's palace and that they are likely to rejoin the Pykes Syndicate if freed. His debt repaid, Din leaves Tatooine. The next time they meet. Fett's faction has grown to be the most powerful crime syndicate in the galaxy. Boba Fett, once again, is working with the Empire. Din, assuming his duty and destiny as Mand'lor, builds a Mandalorian army and joins the Jedi and New Republic's fight against Thrawn's Imperial Remnant. Boba Fett and Din Djarin find themselves on opposing sides. This highlights how they are foils to each other, two sides of the same coin.

@@zachhecita that sounds brilliant actually, what a shame

@@zachhecita Funny how random people you encounter on the internet could come up with much better ideas than actual writers in charge

@@zachhecita wow

I’m so sick of that planet

So sick of Tattooine. And on a further note, Jakku, which was just Tattooine for the new trilogy.

@@voodoocustompickups2547 I agree, what is it with deserts? At least Geonosis actually feels like a different planet rather than a copy of Tatooine.

I completely agree. From the offset, it limits the character. Also mando was what boba should have been.

I mean you can find stuff for a crime lord to. You have characters Vito corloene and Tony soprano. It's usually about the build up to the end.

I absolutely love this and wish you had written part of the show.

I like your part about Boba thinking his way out of conflicts. But I'd rather have it be a skill he uses because he can and not because it's his only way out. It's not like Boba is has aged that much since ROTJ. It's just been 5 years. Yes, Temuera Morrison is 61 years old, but Boba himself is merely in his mid-thirties.

@@GP.Records Thank you, that means alot ✌️

Yeah but he doesn’t have anything better to do unlike Boba

Instead they waisted Bane, one of the most legendary bounty hunters and coolest characters. :'(

I honestly thought the show was meant to show the events before rotj. Would’ve been cool to see a young, brash but skilled Boba.

It better be some quick buck considering it cost them a little under 15 mil per episode (looked it up on google)

@@spacedawg0073 that's honestly pocket change for disney

Too bad they had to make it non-canon for those shitty sequel movies

What is the honest to god answer this isn’t happening. Someone please explain

And unfortunately it is something that will never be seen in a program of the magical mute of Disney with favrou and filoni.

Yeah, BoBF was kinda underwhelming but a good time nonetheless. Bounty Hunter is Legendary though. Still never beat it, but I love that game

Its from Samuel Kim, its called "Star Wars: Boba Fett Theme | Epic Mandalorian Version"

Agreed wholeheartedly. With Boba, less is better. His appearance in Mandalorian was excellent, whereas this show sucked

I totally agree. If done right it has potential to be legendary.

If they do let Rodriguez direct, they should make him direct it a certain way, not like the way he did it in the first couple of episodes in BOBF season 1.

Nostalgia.

haha thanks

Also rest in piss bozo, hope he doesn’t come back in this timeline. Cad should have only been in a flashback imo.

That game is pretty fun, even though the camera is hot Bantha garbage

Same

So true

"Kud'ar Mub'at pointed one of its jointed fore-limbs toward him. "Tell me first-or tell me again-what you think of the Guild. You know; the Bounty Hunters Guild." "I don't," said Fett. He gave a slight shrug. "It's not worth thinking about. If any of its members were at all proficient, they wouldn't be in it. An organization like that is for the weak and harmless, who think that by combining their forces they might become deadly. They're wrong." True Boba laughed - then Disney show how easy he abandon his mercenary way, and start cooperation with freaks to bring "Good" in world.

I didn't like how he tried quoting everything like a jedi, I just kinda wish he spoke of the lessons of the jedi in his own words.

so awesome to hear!

I’m gonna keep mixing it up between review of recent films on camera and the video essay style!

His face looks way too clean and hair is far too neat. Just get Graham Hamilton or a similar enough looking actor to play the character with no effects!
