My favorite thing in BoBF was the tusken tribe. They were so cool that i wish they hadn't all been killed off. Maybe they can introduce some more in season 2? I think Boba Fett as Mandalore sounds like a great idea. But maybe he needs to work on his military tactics... 😂

Thank you for putting a positive spin on BobF, of the few other Star Wars KZfaqrs I follow they just played Debbie downer, only focusing on the negative. This is why I started following you, thank you for keeping things positive and putting out great videos that make me think.

As a man-,aged father, for, and a retired army officer, I I saw a lot in this show that related to me. Bobas change because of age and circumstances was very deep and I think many people missed that. Also, he was changing gears from being a solo operative to being a group leader, and that takes an entirely different perspective… And he said that several times.

We need a Jango fett series. Jango was the ultimate bounty hunter and the series would bring in the mandolorian wars

Yep this series was all about Character development and evolution, Boba changed from a solo warrior into a leader of his own clan. What I'm looking forward to now is Clan Fett, this is what I'm hoping will be the next chapter for Fett.

What people don’t realize about BOBF is that the Tuskan arc is symbolizing Boba coming to realization of his Mandalorian heritage

The only thing I liked from BoBF was Madam Garsa. So sad they killed her off 😢

Boba's transformation with the Tuskans was excellent! I just wish that Shand did the talking for Fett.

I never thought of Boba Fett as showing weakness. To me, I thought he was following Teddy Roosevelt's imperialist policy: "Speak softly and carry a big stick." So I wasn't surprised when that stick wiped out all the enemies in seconds.

I liked the book of Boba Fett but I genuinely think about 20-30% of the issues people have with it could be solved just by changing the name to "The Mandalorian: The Book of Boba Fett". Also I liked BoBF more the second time I've watched it.

I wanna see boba and grief interact with similar roles.

Even the Rat Catcher knows you don't mess with Boba Fett! #BobaasMandalore

One of the reasons Book of Boba Fett failed for me was that it did not show the full transformation of Boba from evil villain into a good person. You have payoff without setup. If we saw how treacherous Boba was before he changed his ways the payoff would have been more satisfying. Not to mention with such a setup we could have moments when Boba is torn between doing the right thing and reverting back to his villainous ways - which would be tempting given the position of power he holds now. Imagine the flashbacks to young Boba training under Cad Bane, learning all the wrong lessons about life, and becoming the villain we know from the ESB. Then he goes through his arc where he struggles with his dark impulses but in the end overcomes them. Finally, his struggle is culminated with in the duel with Cad Bane. Alas, a missed opportunity. Still, I'd watch season 2 of Book of Boba.

If anyone called Boba weak, they weren't paying attention to the show. He was older and wiser. He learned how to become diplomatic. The amount of time he spent in captivity gave him plenty of time to think, Especially about the things he did wrong and what he would do if he had another chance to live

Finally some respect for the book of boba fett…. 😁

"I always knew you were a killer" - Cad Bane when he realizes Boba is calling the shots.

I will go back and watch BobA Fett again, with your words in mind. Your conclusion does make sense and explains Fetts actions. The 2 episodes with Din ruined the flow of the series so much that the last episode felt rushed.

I really loved the show. Some of my complaints were for one the Mos Vespa mod gang aesthetics. Their colorful bikes clashed with the Tattooine aesthetic so badly. They would have been ok in Nar Shaddaa or the lower levels of Coruscant but not Tattooine. If they had used regular speeder bikes it would have been much better. The other way bigger issue was Din stealing two whole episodes. I liked the idea of having Din come and help Boba fight the pykes and the "I'm with you until we both fall. We'll both die in the name of honor" scene and the following fight with the pykes was my absolute favorite moment in all of Star Wars history. But that should have been all of Din's part in this show. As Boba's ally and somebody who helps him embrace his Mandalorian heritage though his loyalty to him. The whole part with Luke, Ahsoka and Grogu should have been left for Mando S3. It was unnecessary to have the Grogu reunion here. I think Boba Fett should have been the one to calm the rancor and save Din. My final complaint was Boba removing his helmet so much. I like the idea that he only takes it off in front of his closest allies. I don't want him to be like Din's cult and never take it off but, when he does, I want it to have more weight and meaning. Now one thing I really did love was that this show was the first time we heard Mando'a in live action (Aliit ori'shya tal'din) and it was for Boba in his own show, not for Din in the Mando show. This meant a lot to me and yes I do hope Boba can still become Mand'alor somehow. I wrote a whole Twitter essay about it too.

...Boba Fett's near death experience changed him...

He was partly a side character in his own story, that is my main problem.

I love this channel. The positivity is very refreshing, the videos are always entertaining and I genuinely look forward to a new video showing up in my feed. Please keep doing exactly what you have been doing. May the Force be with You!

I feel the same way. Just hope Cad Bane is not really dead. I know they keep bringing back characters supposedly dead but Bane has unfinished business with Omega!

May the force be with you on your journey to 50k

With the Mythosaur signature in Bokatan's I just thought of Boba Fett. Boba fett is just Calm terror.

What would be great is that if some of the scattered mandalorians start congregating around Boba because he grants them sanctuary, and he winds up accidentally becoming leader of a mandalorian faction

Great take on Boba Fet. In 1977 I came home on from the Canal Zone Panama, stood in line with my HS sweetheart and saw Star Wars. I've been a diehard fan ever since. Keep up the good work.

I like BoBF. I have a minor defense for the scooter gang. The slow speed chase and battle twirl were cringe. No contest. I’d also say that using the scooters as an homage to another of Lucas’s works, was probably a bad choice. However, the scooters do make sense. It’s a world colored by earth tones and muted palettes. These guys are the counter culture. They’re punk rockers on a world dressed in drab. Having them love vibrant colors and flashy chrome on equipment modified to stand out already, makes sense. Boots, battle jackets, and Mohawks would’ve just looked like some other alien.

Loved the Blazing Saddles clip. Another insightful video. Thank you.

After this, I'm going to have to watch the book of Boba Fett again 👍

In my opinion tbobf sometimes feels like a school ceremony, the dude has 2 pigs to defend the whole palace, and recruits roboteenagers

He never was my favorite. That was his own show that made me fell in love with him

The rebel uniforms look like they Naruto run to the water fountain at recess

Never thought about it like this🤔Thank you for the new perspective!! This is the way. I have spoken….

Thanks for this. Perspective makes a huge difference. They could have done a better job of conveying these ideas in the dialogue probably. I'll have to rewatch the season again.

He probably freed Moff Gideon just to piss off Bo-Karan. I hope I’m wrong.

Yeah, I was kinda looking for that angry kid from the Clone Wars. But I could see how being adopted by Tusken Raiders might have mellowed him out. Communing with nature and all of that.

👍🏼good vid I watched every episode 5 or so times. I loved the beginning of BOBF. And I loved alot of the great parts in it. To me the story just went weird. Boba was fine to live his life w/the tuskins. Tuskins got killed, so that unleashed the old Boba. Gets ship back. Gets armor. Infiltrates crime scene to get to and destroy EVERYONE involved in the tuskin deaths. Some Mandalorians hear about stuff and come to help. They win the big fight; tuskin deaths avenged and in so doing becomes the hero of the town and the lead of a small group of Mandos. That’s kind of what happened but not really. Tuskin deaths seemed to be forgotten and it never really showed that the town cared either way about spice. I was disappointed in the over all show. Sorry for being negative. I waited 40 some yrs for Boba not even knowing that I was waiting until it finally happened. My hopes were very high. My hi hopes and love of Boba did not let me just enjoy the show for a fun/cool Star Wars space adventure like I should have. I still have hopes for Boba. I’m still mostly loving The Mandalorian. Every mando I see; I see Boba. :) But no Boba. Feels like he’s being left behind during important mandalorian lead to leader stuff. At the same time Bokatan could be a good leader and Djin is doing everything a mando leader should. But come on Boba!!! Ok I think that’s it from me. :) Keep making good vids 😁

I liked BoBF. I'm noticing people dissin on Mandalorian Season 3 which I'm also digging Gerald. Btw Good Morning from Pueblo Colorado!

Yeah, a lot of people misunderstand TBoBF. The whole point was that the sarlac nerfed him. I seem to remember several times where they talk about how Boba needs to heal. Also notice by the end (when he is fully healed) he starts doing as good as Mando. (Btw it has nothing to do with age. He isn't that much older than Mando, and I think Fennec is older than him. So if they could still be fast and agile I don't see why Boba couldn't.)

I loved the Book of Boba Fett probably because I see it the way you do. He's a mafia leader and mafia leaders cant have the mentality of a hitman or a stick up kid. They have to be beloved by the appropriate people and feared by the appropriate people. They move and operate on a different level. There's a code they follow. It would have been corny had he operated like a Bounty Hunter

Book of Boba Fett could have been so much better. While episodes 5 and 6 were great with Mando. They should have started off Mando season 3. Din could have come back to help Boba in the final episode, but he should not have brought back Grogu. I love the little green guy, but every show set in that time period does not need Grogu.

Challenge accepted! I reckon I'll binge it for the flow. I'm not sure weekly releases help shows like BOBF & Andor.

Great look back at Book of Boba Fett!! I do hope he shows up again in The Mandalorian. And maybe I’m the only one but I want another season of this show.

Bobba's is whealling and dealing in the pirate and bounty hunters sub world! The crime syndicates can bring a phenomenal Web of plots to SWs and hope they will bring us just that in a season 2 of Da Book! Thanks

I totally agree with what you say in the whole video. I’m looking forward in seeing the whole mandalorian people with din and bo katan to seek a real location to rebuild with boba in jabba’s palace. I still believe John and Dave will make Boba the Mandalor - maybe we see mace windu getting his ass kicked by boba closing the loop on the rightful ruler (maybe not this haha) but… yeah, I’m enjoying the shows so far.

I hated the mod gang.🤣

liked bobf myself, mando season 3 doesn't need him tbch so he isn't there, might have own stuff goin on, but thoughts on mando season 3 and before really, hear me out-thought 1- have stuff back this-omega just might be the armorer, she has designs on her helmet that is from hunters, and all the newer mando armour is seemed to be based off more of the bad batch type armor vs the old mando armor (remember clones was mandalorian deep down, some said to copy and join the mando's) like the some shoulder pads are directly copied crosshair and hunter's pads, and knee pads, plus the new mando's wear storm, shore, clone trooper pieces,/ 2- far left field but.....what if.....quin voss started or help start the children of the watch?? simply based off throw away lines from obi wan,

I liked the show, he's old now ppl evolve, things change. Loved the Tusken flashbacks, Boba's dynamic with Fennec, and the return of Cad Bane. It's a shame Kathleen wanted the show to be usurped by the Mando/Grogu/Skywalker story arc.

I definitely agree with ur take of Boba Fett. I am def going to re-watch it. And yes the scooter gang was cringey, i live in Albuquerque, never seen any vehicle stay shiny so long in the desert. But the scooter gang as cringey as they were, they do they make sense...we have seen people have cybernetics be added after losing limbs all throughout star wars, i bet there's a subculture in the universe that are cyberpunks. We got force sensitive monks, helmet wearing warrior tribes, and clones, why not people addicted to cybernetics?

Hey Fanatic, I watched episode 1 of BOBF today and really enjoyed it. Made me want to re watch it all again which I will. I enjoyed it the first time around. Felt the same regarding some of it being a bit corny. But most star wars is corny in parts. I hope to see boba show up at some point in the last episodes of Mando S3. He has to figure in filonis film too?

Well, I personally like/love ‘The Book Of Boba Fett’, and I love how they have inter woven it with ‘The Mandalorian’! I guess haters have to hate, but if you ask me apparently their not looking at the big picture. The Mandalorian & BOBF are in the same time line, and in the same area, so they’re bound to be inner woven in many ways! I love the fact of how they show in his backstory, after what he had to go through, and how it changed him! Can anybody really say they are the same person they were 10 years ago?! If they’re being truthful, of course not, because life experience makes us who we are! It changes and molds us, hopefully into a better person then what we were before! Both physically, and mentally stronger!

another thought, baby dragons on mando mines, could they be baby or small/young mythosaur's?? mando and grogu go right by them no problems, grogu goes by one chase him, and if his pram is beskar could add up more, then bo and grogu walk right by them again, no problem, and their heads look just like mythosaur, without horns

I loved it I hope thay make a bunch of seasons

Thanks for the coverage! I like TBOBF except for the mods.

I luv how no one ever mentions that The Mandalorians ripped off the Cylons in full knowledge of who bo katan is. shameful

...Homer Simpson as Darth Vader choking Bart Simpson as Crewman...

You got me in the first half with that negative statement lmao, I agree with all your statements and he was also weak since he needed bacta to heal until he could fight like he did back in return of the Jedi.

There were definitely things about BoB that I don't like the main thing was some of the things about the scooter gang. The flashy weird scooter for one. Another is that they seemed so weak for henchmen. As far as boba I think a lot of the events make sense if you remember that he is tired of how people do things. A lot of the things that we'd expect him to do when slighted are things that characters like Darth Vader or Jabba would do. You know... bad guys. His decisions show that he's trying to do things a new way. I thought the overall story was good. I felt like Disney got scared and forced those 2 Mando episodes in. Which I feel was a slap in the face to Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen as well as the story trying to be told.

I think you're absolutely right and if so there has to be a second season of Boba Fett.

14:51 I’m fine with Luke being around, but he should be used sparingly. These episodes not only were out of place in BoBF but took away from The Mandalorian. They should have been released as part of season 3, as a season 2.5 or a miniseries. These two episodes would have been better spent convincing us that Boba was motivated, worthy, and able to lead Tatooine.

Glad to hear another had my thoughts on DV and BF from ESB. Love the Mando culture and read the EU with it. More so than the Sith culture.

I liked the first time I watched and I still do(execpt episode 6 as I have said many times before). I still think the pacing is the major issue, and I would have liked to see some Tusken(namly the femake one) survived. Showed free town traiding with the Tuskens and starting to see a more united Tatooine. Boba is more akin to a warlord or a shogun rather than a mob boss. Returning to episode 5 and 6. Those could have been used to give more mandalorian lore and Boba views on it. We didn't need jedi, Andor proved it can worke despite most trying to find things about them there.

So would Boba have to bathe in the living waters and take the oath to be part of the children of the watch? Or to become Mandolor?

I thought the thing. I didn't however get over the scooter chase scenes and the John Woo spinny spinny thing. All were cringy and laughable. I also thought Boba is in the running for Mandalorian's top spot in the upper echelon because he does know how to lead. Bo can lead also. Two Alpha's and Din is a lone wolf but can handle his business but doesn't like to lead. A Sigma trait. My thought's are can the Mandalorian people accept a clone to lead them? Will we ever see a live action of his sister Omega and the Bad Batch in these series?

Jango Fett was the Mandalore in legends. I see no reason as to why his son will not fill the mantle of Mandalore as well.

What's awesome is he's gotten better than what he was in the Clones War and the Galactic Civil War. He releasing he was expandable as a Bounty Hunter, the people he worked for didn't care about him. He was a lone Loth-wolf and as you know they're in packs, not alone. He socialising with the Tuskens helped him become noble, the Tuskens taught him how to be apart of a tribe\community, provide for others, be respectful, be loyal, and be honorable & have honor. That's love people, that's family. The Tuskens are so much like the Mandolorians that's why it works when he lives among them as their own. So would you call that weakness after seeing what he does in Mos Eisley? Oh you so little faith, cause you weren't pay attention then?

dave has said a few times he grew up loving boba fett, and it made him the big mandalorian fan he is today, he had to fight hard to get them into clone wars, i didn't think boba was weak tho in his show, would like know why he wanted to kill blow fish guy, have thoughts, think he thinks he was betrayed by him and left him for dead,

In the Boba/Cad Bane duel, it looks like Boba shot first and missed. Did he hit some part of Cad Bane's armor?

I'm glad you went over this

This is exactly how i feel about tbobf, they compeletly robbed 2hrs of his season.. 2hrs that couldve been better spent showing back story and dealings with bane. I going to see the great man at super nova next week hopefully get his helm signed

I liked when Din was in it.

Little late the the party and it’s been awhile, life’s been…life. So after watching this video and taking in your thoughts and views on BoBF. I had another thought to add…what if Boba’s dreams in his tank means more than meets t he eye. Dreams are ambiguous and it’s about your brain space at the time. What if it wasn’t him dreaming about his dad Jango, but he is dreaming about his personal clash of Mandalorian teachings from Jango, versus him not wanting to accept them because that way of life got his dad, Jango killed? Edit: grammar, typos, and brain moves faster than my fingers. Sorry.

I agree with a lot of what you said… I’m the dude pumping up the Book of Boba numbers of Disney Plus rewatching Episodes 1 and 2 over and over…. He racked up one helluva body count for his series… things that ruined it was the Vespa crew… they should just be bad ass thugs on old school speeders… and Mando and Luke episodes should have been Mando season 3… and NO Grogu return this series… finally BIG issue… his escape from The Pit… should have been long and brutal… like in the EU….. not just 10 seconds.

Thought it would be cool if migs mayfeld, fennik shand, and Cobb vanth became foundlings for dins own clan. And of course boba fett

100% agree. Keep up dear Gerald!

Subscribed on the intro

I also loved it

The title you didn't take . Pastor of Star wars religion

6:10 I never thought he looked weak but it did depict him as inept and unworthy of respect. In addition, the show didn’t have a convincing motivation for him to become the leader or know how to earn the respect of the people. The big reveal was he didn’t want to follow idiots’ orders? So lame. Not to mention this “motivation” has zero to do with the flashbacks, and it’s not like Boba proved to be some great tactician or planner (i.e. his stupid tactics cost a lot of his biggest supporters their lives). It would have been way cooler if the show would have explored his kinship with the Tuskens and showed him brokering a peace between all the tribes of Tuskens on Tatooine. When he came riding into the last scene on the rancor, it would have been so much more triumphant and impactful if he had been joined by hundreds of Tuskens. Giving the Tuskens a seat at the table also would reflect the more egalitarian leadership style he wanted to project, and a peace between the settlers and the Tuskens would have been something that could unite all the peoples of Tatooine under his leadership and earn the respect of the people. The partnership with the Tuskens would also have played nicely with a similar arch from The Mandalorian _and_ link directly to the flashbacks. How could he ever hope to go up against the might of the crime syndicates in the future without the support and respect of every person on Tatooine? What a lost opportunity.

hes a true mando 😢

Hi Gerald I totally agree that Boba was not weak, he as the domio gave the orders to have the other leaders to be killed and it happened he was just as strong has he was as a bounty hunter now as the boss he gives the orders and I hope there is another series I did not like the biker gang I think they spoilt it ok I think this was another great video Star Wars Fanatic

Thankyou I subbed sorry I'm late

...Boba Fett gets his armour back...tests it out on some Stormtroopers...

og rebels do look like pro speed walkers tho 😂

My fave was Boba and Fennac in Slave I at the mighty Sarlaac Pit

Boba Fett used to have a neck.

I like the Book of BF. Sure it has some cringy stuff, like the final battle, but it is worth watching, especially the Paterson cut.

I really liked BoBF. It was not masterpiece like Andor or quite as good as Mandalorian but way better than Obi Wan in my opinion. Really good analysis.

They lost me at the moped gang. Totally out of place on Tatooine

I have nothhing against the Book of Boba Fett, i enjoyed it a lot, tho i should agree that the bike power rangers gang is a bit cringy, nontheless i still liked the show, particularly his time with the Tuskans, that was quite a character development the went through.

I enjoyed it, except for the power rangers and too much time on the Mando story. I kept thinking of mafia bosses and wanted to see him be ruthless from the beginning. But that's not his story. Challenge accepted, Sir. I'm going to watch it again

Boba needed more personal space in his own series. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Feels like boba fett is going to find his fellow clones and cloners and rebuild Camino?

I agree with everything you said in this video. I already came to the same conclusion. IMO, BOBF was great, minus the stretched out Din Djarin part. I think that still does not belong in there. Otherwise, right now Boba Fett for me is the most fitting person to sit on the throne of Mandalor. He has by now learnt everything necessary to be a truly great leader.

Love it

Boba Fett : Last of the True Mandalorians. The "Get off my lawn!" old man take on BoBF isn't surprising. I thought BoBF was great (well, the episodes that actually focused on Fett). It's good that IH convinced you to reconsider your BoBF hate. +1 for an old dog learning a new trick...😉

AGREED

Book of Boba Fett was good for first 3 episodes plus the Mando eps plus the Cad Bane eps. Way better than Kenobi and Andor.

I’ve just finished watching BoBF for the second time,and actually enjoyed it more the second time! Biggest moan was the teenage biker gang I thought boba was too nice but that’s Disney for you! I don’t think it’s as bad as some people say but tbh I actually didn’t really enjoy andor!!! Shocking I know! And kenobi was a massive disappointment! Such a shame but each to their own!

I feel like this channel is the last bastion of Star Wars positivity. I like that, even if you have criticisms of the franchise, you don’t just go “okay, it done! Time to throw Star Wars in the trash! It sucks now!” Star Wars has become large enough that it’s come to function kind of like a comic book universe, like DC or Marvel. There a lot of different lore, different writers, different characterization, and some of it is contradictory. If you’re gonna be a fan, you need to figure out which parts you jive with and which parts you don’t. You don’t have to like all of it, you don’t even have to read/watch all of it. Just don’t try to ruin someone else’s fun.
