This ain't the Boba Fett they introduced in the Mandalorian... Fett literally shot Bib Fortuna in the face in The Mandalorian but in this show, he's just soft & weak.
I just see this as Disney creating fanfictions with characters like Jake Skywalker and Bango Fett. None of these characters have anything in common with the characters George Lucas created.
Hiring those "cyber punks" as his personal bodyguards really threw me off. If he hired them as his eyes and ears out in the street, feeding Boba Fett information, it would've been so much better.
the car and motorbikes? chases also looks bad, when i watched somehow it feels very slow. the bikes move awkward, there's no sense of speed and weight. man what a bad episode.
Boba should have walked straight into the mayor's office without even addressing the assistant. He already established in a previous episode that he didn't care about appointments.
@@Deodank No it doesn't. It's just a well-meaning fan giving an opinion on an episode that clearly disappointed a lot of people. (And I'm not overweight.)
I've been very forgiving of the show, but this episode definitely rubbed me the wrong way. The speeders/cyberpunk kids were the biggest offense. Tatooine, a lawless place where people are either slaves or selling water, or junk for a living. Meanwhile this frat pack of kids with freshly waxed hotrods and body augments is just chilling in town. It's like going into downtown Detroit with a Lambo and not expecting to get mugged/car chopped. Nonsense.
They made Boba into a joke, everyone just gets away with knocking boba around and disrespecting him. He is too reserved, the least he could’ve done was beat the shit out of the mayor’s assistant for wasting his time and making constant threats but nope. Fennec is just a nothing character so far, her one job is to protect Boba and somehow the wookie gets past her
Fennec will probably betray Boba towards the end of this series. There's no way Black Krazy Stan could sneak his big ass into Fett's HQ without alerting the "master assassin" Fennec.
@@carnagerulez312 there's a theory that she let the Wookie in because he somehow got into Jabba's fortress that was supposingly made with high security/safety in mind.
I can't believe there are still people who shill for Disney Star Wars. It's completely dead and I can't wait to laugh my ass off when they fuck up Kenobi. I'm sure he'll get his ass kicked more times than we'd like.
What I wanted was The Mandalorian show, but with Boba. That show was exactly what I always wanted, and I think they really shot themselves in the foot because now they're trying to make Boba complete different.
Let’s remember this is the Boba Fett that plain out shot Bib Fortuna to take his place as a crime lord. The Boba Fett in this series would’ve politely asked Bib to please let him become the new crime lord.
@@Kanglar *get surrounded by people with shield* Boba: Oh no! there is no where to run, what could I do ? If only there was a way for me to get away from them!
I'm convinced the multi-colored bike things were added so they could be turned into a ride at Disney. It just sticks out so hard, I can't think of any other reason why they're in there.
In episode one of the Mandalorian we get Mando cutting a guy in half with a door within the first two minutes or so. That alone made him a more ruthless bounty hunter than what we are seeing Boba Fett portrayed as. It’s also why that show really got me invested to watch. It had some edge to it without being graphic. I know I personally want to see Fett with more bite to him.
It makes zero sense for his character and I'm very close to removing this show from my head canon entirely unless the rest of the show is Boba being the badass he should be.
Dude... It's STAR WARS. STAR WARS is for kids! May I remind you that literally in those original 3 movies, all we got of Boba Fett is him getting his ass kicked and just sorta looking menacing in the background. Some of ya'll need to remember that kids need entertainment too, and not everything needs to be about "Star Wars being more gritty and adult", that's actually the last thing I want from it.
Don't you want kenobi to have a pink light saber though and the best part is disney wil probably have. Some cyber punk diverse kids to jump him and beat him up lol
Boba fett seems naive as hell in this show. He leave the sand people alone to go collect money and the people he thinks are capable of protecting the train get wiped out by the snall biker gang who dont have bikes any more because he took them. then he just thinks he can become the new mob boss, but he doesnt do anything to protect anyone or prevent any petty crime or even keep himself protected. He sleeps in a bacta tank with no guard. Hes just so stupid.
Can't really blame Boba for the raid on the Tuskens. It's not like he knew how big the biker gang is or if they would bother targeting the Tuskens. Tuskens are no push overs. They have been known to give people serious problems. They are also known to be great sharpshooters. They sniped Pikes on moving train from a distance. Tuskens really didn't need Boba babysitting them
As DestructableMe said, the Pykes likely wiped out the Tuskens, part of their plan to take Tatoonine and just made it looks like the bikers did it. A little throwback to Stormtroopers making it seems the Tuskens attacked the Jawas.
I’d just like to point to another character who was done right when he was setting up his crime empire: Maul. When he went to the black sun to gain their support and they declined. His brother beheaded all of them. That’s how it’s done.
Thank you, finally someone else mentioned that they did the same storyline in the clone wars, but much better and concise. In 20 minutes we got farther in the clone wars then we did in 3 episodes of Boba fett.
The "car/bike" chase was the worst, I could ride faster on my push bike than the speed they were going and it made it worse that they where trying to portray it being fast with the direction and editing. It was almost comical.
Calling them a "gang" is its own atrocity. It's 4 kids. The whole show is feeling anticlimactic to me. Building and "army" to go to "war"? What army?? What war?? Boba's got 6 little henchmen and a Rancor. It's gonna be a playground scuffle at best, calling it a war is a stretch and a half.
Boba hasn't aimed his rifle once this season, not including the tusken one. He's only the flamethrower once, the jetpack one. The rocket hasn't been used at all. The cyber punks had no money for water but had enough money for Vespa speeders and body modifications 🙄
@@Razzrazz90 nah nah I need that jet rocket. The wrist rocket was very cool but I feel like that was the only cold moment from Boba that we've gotten so far
@@shuheihisagi6689 Star Wars has been dark, what are you talking about? What part of people getting limbs constantly removed, Darth Vader constantly living in physical and emotional agony, Leia being forced to watch her *planets genocide,* the betrayal and extinction of the Jedi, Anakin mass killing children, killing his own wife and then getting all his limbs amputated before slowly being burned alive, ISN'T dark?
I saw a comment yesterday from someone who said that watching Boba Fett in this show is like watching someone pick all the "good" dialogue choices in Mass Effect. I thought that was a good description. Boba Fett is pure paragon. No renegade interruptions. Ever. lol
Disney can't do antihero protagonists. This is the same problem that doomed Rian Johnson's take on Rey's path to failure. Kids are watching, so the chief protagonists have to be saints.
Darth Vader "NOOOOO DISINTIGREATIONS" After the meeting* "Darth Vader really thinks disintegratations are that bad... What would my father think of me.... I'm just a man trying to make his way across the universe!" I genuinely believe that's what the series is leading up to
The funniest part about the speeder chase to me is that none of the vehicles involved ever go faster than like 15mph… who’s decision was that it looked terrible and hilarious lol
I think this was actually an editing error. The way they film chase scenes can usually hide the speed issues but there must have been some technical reasons they couldn’t speed it up
Offscreen massacre of his tribe was a mitstake, the character assassination of Boba is unforgiveable and the bait and switch with the Hutts to Pykes is just utterly disappointing.
@@KingKeno777 that’s how we get these company’s attention. We’re just expressing disappointment, because this has massive potential. Even if you think the show is good it could easily be 10 times better.
Hope you enjoy all the blackwashing, retcons, "strong female characters" and "cool speeder bikes", because that's what all the yee of complaining has resulted in. Your apart of the problem dude
I was just so annoyed that they could've gone with the Tuskens joining Boba in ruling over Tatooine, developed some of them like the kid the leader and the woman to be more interesting characters, and maybe included some of Boba's old bounty hunter companions. But instead they killed off the tuskens, they wasted the one bounty hunter fight so far and then dismissed the character, and now his army is a bunch of spy kids we know nothing about with 0 motivation to care about Boba's cause. And that’s even without mentioning the wacky design
@Siberian ideally boba wouldn’t need their approval since he’d be the feared and respected crime lord, but yeah given the current way it’s going it probably wouldn’t have happened that way lol Edit actually even the current situation should allow them to be like his army or something if not involved in his rule
I watched ep. 3 two times now but are both the Tussen raiders' matriarch and the kid dead-dead? Because AFAIK there's no visual of both the matriarch and the kid, (except perhaps for the stick and the Tussen weapon)?
My only thing is, this is a sequel before his appearance in Mando. I’m hoping that this is him building himself back up mentally and physically and have it end at the moments before he shows up in mando. Explaining how he went from weak and out of the Sarlacc to the roughy and tough image. This story route would explain the weakness in the beginning of this season. Hopes are still up
@@JoeGrizz1y only the flashbacks are before Mando, and I don’t even think he’s physically weak (see how he fought the gang and the pykes) but he’s holding back for political reasons, a bit too much for me. I’m not even that concerned about that as about their wasting certain characters and halfway through the season still barely seeing Boba grow into his new role
I think you guys are looking too deep into that. Jokes like that have been made in all sorts of movies/tv. i.e a character saying "break a leg" to a guy that has a prosthetic, forgetting that he has a prosthetic. This isn't new.
Like, I can totally see these characters living in a place like Coruscant, which is essentially a cyberpunk megacity, especially in the lower levels. But it's so out of place here in a setting that is otherwise more like an Old Western frontier type city.
@@nialllappin4159 Different is fine. No SW fan would say no to a show or movie that centers around a squad of Troopers a la Band of Brothers style. But different doesn't mean it gets to be bad. If you're gonna try something new, you still gotta fucking make sure it's actually good....
This feels like a different Jango clone. The fight with Black Krrsantan was conceived completely wrong. Boba should never have been that vulnerable in the bacta pod to begin with. BK should have wrecked shop with the Gamorreans and Mod Squad then Boba - in his armour - should have come to save them. Instead Shand is the one who traps him and Boba comes down in his robes, gimme a break
@@izilladkilla I mean sure, but he can't "suit up" in the like 30 seconds it took for Shand to end that encounter lol. So that's not very realistic to want.
@@excessmaterial same time very realistic to take an electrified brass knuckle to the naked face by a massive ape like alien and not have his jaw shattered and brain zapped.
Its very underwhelming tbh. When we all saw the Mandalorian season finally and we saw Boba sit on his thrown. In his full glory we thought we were going to see him as ruthless as ever but still keeps his honor in tact. Instead... we got a wannabe crime lord who takes everyone's disrespect and power ranger vehicles with spy kids riding along side with him. We have 5 or 4 episodes left.... I still have hope that there can be some grit and ruthlessness within this character but the chances are very very slim.
Yeah...the combat scenes before episode 3 was pretty questionable as well, and now that episode 3 is out, I agree; underwhelming, and it does not look like it is going to get better. I'm still annoyed about the "fight"with the wookie. In reality, and as mentioned in the video, Boba lost the moment his neck was grabbed in thr bacta tank. Any seasoned killer would have ended it right there.
@Austin Ivey I have a theory for the following episodes. Bobas patients is tested by everyone and he gets to his breaking point and let's loose. Because at this point, Shand is starting to question Boba and its not looking good.
@@xaviermartin390 Right?? Boba just took over Jabba's Empire, irks the Hutts in doing so, receives threats when meeting them, and in the following afternoon, he slept in bacta completely unguarded. This show is giving us too many nitpicking opportunities!
It really is weird - in “The Mandalorian” Boba is a total badass and so is Fennec, but in His Own Show Boba is just so incompetent, and is so utterly passive (I get it rule with respect, but barely winning any of his fights by skin of his teeth w/ help from his bodyguards doesn’t rouse any respect), thus making Fennec carry all of the weight and is the one with actual “balls” to get the job done. Boba totally “died” in that pit, whatever crawled out was humbled by the Tuskens and the writers elude that Boba is still a harden fighter, but The Book of Boba sure as hell shows me otherwise. Maybe he should just leave the whole underworld thing and just hunt remnant Imperials, he does a much better job at that then trying to play Daimyo.
The other issue is that Boba has years of experience being a bounty hunter and it feels like he is an infant and needs to relearn how to survive. It's insane how bad it is.
It could make sense if you take it as he's still fresh from the sarlac and still needs bacta but.. 1. It doesn't seem that he spent a long time in sarlac as they put all props there as if he just left right after he fell down and Luke with friends went away. 2. Even if he was there a year and now he's really weak - fuck that nobody wants to watch a weak Boba Fett
@@raukoring I could understand being weak after fighting through the sarlacc pit but there has been more then enough time to recover after spending so much time with the sand people. He didn't need a tank with them and near the end could best their best. So a major flaw there. Plus it's not like he lost his memories. It would make more sense if he might have ptsd or something and hates Solo for what he went through but it's like none of that happened.
@@raukoring they may as well have us watching him go about his day buying groceries, washing dishes and flipping through the holonet for new shows. It's not only dumb, it's boring. How the hell did you manage to make Boba Fett boring??
As much we love Robert Rodriguez for making movies such as desperado and from dusk til dawn ...we might have to acknowledge we're dealing with Robert Rodriguez who made spy-kids, shark boy and lava girl...
It's just so weird that Boba is only starting to recruit goons now. I know he used to be a bounty hunter but he's worked for criminals before, so shouldn't he already know that he needs henchmen to actually run a criminal organization? If he's going to protect his territory, he can't do all the fighting himself, his enemies have henchmen and they can attack more than one place at a time. Also, the Vespa gang has to be set up to for slaughter. They're a bunch of punk kids, how are they going to stand up against actual criminals with blasters and ships who have no problem murdering people that get their way? And Boba just recruits them without seeing what they can do first? If a gang recruits new members, don't they need to know if the new guy is competent? Don't they need to know if the new guy is good at fighting or stealing or spying on rival gangs so they can put him to good use?
And isn’t it bizarre that no one seems to know who he is (except for a few explicit call outs)? You would think people would already fear his name. It drove me nuts in Mando when Boba walks off his ship and Bill Burr’s character is intimidated at first because he thinks Boba is Mando. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
@Andrew-~ I fear it's worse than mid. I'm seeing a lot of "white male stupid and weak, needs to always be saved by women". What other reason would justify them COMPLETELY neutering Boba. He's now Beta Boba
Forget about needing goons, who's doing the paperwork, who's actually running the organization. What's Boba shipping, Selling, what's his actual organization FOR?
The fact that boba fett recruited emo punk cyborgs who ride space mopeds, shows he’s desperate, and in what world would those little scooters keep up with an actual speeder
Those kids have money for shinny scooters and to mod themselves(not because they lost limbs but because it makes them "cooler") but are too poor for water. People who write this stuff don't think one palm beyond "wouldn't this be cool?" Btw the answer is no it's not cool in this case.
@@sevach how was that bad writing that's literally the point on multiple levels but an obvious one that you're clearly not seeing is the Absurd cost for water on this planet it's not bad writing its people being completely irrational and blind to the story for no reason
@@msbkaioken136 Even if we go off the assumption the man is the only person in the city charging for water (which I doubt) and its highly expensive, I don't think those scooters and modifications were any cheaper, give them third rate looking mods and beat to hell speeders and I would buy it instantly, but they look far to clean and "cool" to be in the position they claim to be in, its like a guy with a new iphone/nintendo switch pulling up to the food pantry in his Ferrari for handouts, Maybe some details will come later that explains this but right now these characters presentation conflicts
My first red flag of soft boba was when he offered to cut the ropes for the Rodian in episode 1 when escaping from the tuskens. IMO it just doesn’t fit his character especially before he was taken in the tribe and had character development.
There's a saying, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. In Boba's weakened state, it would make sense for him to want to some help, especially if there's a chance he's going to be hunted down by Tuskens in the desert
The Mandalorian was basically what Boba Fett would have been but I feel since they basically did that, they have made this Boba a completely different character for the worst mostly. Its possible it could get better but so far, I'm not even sure if he has even shot his blaster so far.
Thats what I felt. Boba Fett is too like Mando in this series. He's got exactly the same values and honor and stuff. I thought Boba was going to be like the Punisher to Mandos Daredevil
I was looking forward to this show expecting to see a badass Boba Fett being a vigilante. Yet he is useless! He could have used his Jet pack and back pack mounted rocket to stop the car. However we got one of the worst chase sequences I have ever seen.
I don't think he ever fixed his jetpack since mandalorian. He flat out misses his actual target in that series because of it, only hitting the other ship through luck
Loki was interesting and some of wandavision. What if’s only good episode was 4. Other then that the last big blast of a marvel movie was no way home so I don’t expect anything to be on those levels of endgame and that for a good while
I really thought mando would be the "rule with respect" light side mandalorian, and that boba could be the badass mercenary from his scenes in the mandalorian. But instead Bobas character in the show could have been literally anyone, the story isn't built for him.
They could have fixed that in one simple way. Have them start with ratty clothes and dinged up bikes with totally worn off paint. Then after helping boba for a while they upgrade their bikes and their clothes.
Even IF Boba's recent sand raider fam "made" this a soft Boba, that explanation wouldn't give reason to the direction given to the "hardcore Boba" we got in the Mandalorian. Great writing doesn't mix with bad directorial
We really haven't seen boba do much himself in his own show. We saw him kick ass in the mandalorian and haven't gotten anything even close to that so far in this show. Boba has been nerfed massively and it's really causing me to lose interest
This show is holding so much back everything feels clean and polished when tatooine and the criminal underworld should be dirty and scummy. Those vespa speeders and the riders do not seem like they belong on Tatooine, they maybe would work on coruscant or nar shadaa but they feel out of place on Tatooine. I was pretty disappointed that Krrsantan didnt destroy at least one those cyperbunk wannabe's or one of the gamorreans, it would have been a nice call back to when Han Solo said "That's 'cause droids don't rip people's arms out of their sockets when they lose...wookies are known to do that..". Overall I think this show is missing the mark of what a criminal underworld should feel like.
"but they feel out of place on Tatooine." It's a HUGE galaxy and living as a rebellious teen on tatooine must suck. I am sure that they found those things to be cool and ordered them on the star wars equivalent of amazon xD. I read about those "vespas" before I watched the episode and tbh, I would not really have noticed them that much if i would not have read about them beforehand. Yes, they stand out. But not THAT much...
@@jean-lucpicard581 "Water is too expensive. We need it to wash our clothes and space scooters. Plus we need money for these useless cybernetic augmentations"
What bugs me most about those kids is that they stole because they thought it was unfair that they had to pay those rates for water, yet I'm sorry, compared to all other people on Tattooine, these kids have no right to bitch and moan and should be paying more. I mean hell, the way they dress, those cybernetics, and those stupid speeders all look like things someone from the higher platforms of Coruscant would buy, not a bunch of homeless kids in the slums of Tattooine.
Boba fett is literally filler:the show. Everything that has happened up until this point has either been unimportant or could’ve been explained in literally 5 minute flashbacks
I completely, wholeheartedly agree man. This show has been useless, but ohhhh the last episode is gonna "blow everyone away" It's like okay.....we get it. Han Solo is gonna return, that isn't gonna fix the pacing/story of the show. The show is dull, with no real heart and direction to where it wants to go and who it wants to be because it's so boringggggg. Literally what I've realized they've tried doing is connecting the flashbacks with the present similar to how Arrow did, except this show poorly executes it cuz it DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT WANTS TO BE
@@purefoldnz3070 It's just annoying as hell cuz like I was expecting world building from this show like maybe more planet exploration and killing and cool action scenes but none it's all dull ;/
It would have been much more interesting if Boba recruited a unit of stormtroopers who managed to survive after the fall of the empire, and went on as some kind of gang. That would actually make a lot more sense than what we got in this episode. The cyberpunk teenage Vespa gang was beyond awful, and it almost made me hurt myself whenever I saw them on the screen. They are bad actors, have the most stupid gadgets and outfits, and don't fit in with the Star Wars universe, at all.
If you are interested in a story about a squad of stormtroopers no longer part of the empire, there is a star wars book called Allegiance from the Old EU that is worth a read. Not a stormtrooper "gang", but they do some vigilante work against criminal elements after they are forced to go AWOL from the empire.
I just don’t understand how they keep missing the mark with not being As just in your face a bad ass as the first episode of the Mandalorian. Are we forgetting that the dude straight up cut someone in half with an automatic door barely a few minutes in. Yet here we are with brightly colored floating Vespas what the hell is happening
just wait, i am feeling like theyre going to end this season with the "space power rangers" saving Boba Fett. When its done, boba will ride the red vespa over the sand dunes during a dual sun set. Then suddenly Boba turns to camera and says " Im Boba Skywalker". End scene
This should have been an absolutely easy slam dunk. Coming off the hype and love for The Mandalorian, Boba is a character everyone loved who was a blank slate they could have gone anywhere with.... Any one of us in this comment section could have written a better story for Boba Fett, yet these "professionals" thought adding Power Rangers and neutering Boba was the way to go. Well, if that was their goal, congrats to them, because from now on I'll see Boba as incompetent and soft. Meet Beta Boba everyone!
Yeah. So dumb. And it doesn't even make sense, because people have all sorts of strange physical features in Star Wars. A bionic eye is nothing. Boba wouldn't even care.
I see where you're coming from. Personally I think they're really afraid to touch on the more violent half of Star wars. Boba Fett is a crime Lord and before that he was a hired killer. The man's body count is probably higher than a Warframe's. For him to act so soft is a little strange. this is coming from someone who doesn't know him all that well aside from the movies and a few games.
He's feared across the galaxy as a cold-blooded contract killer, he should be portrayed as an antihero. Him being this reasonable, kind-hearted guy who wants to rule through respect makes no sense.
cold blooded is exactly what I remember him to be from the games. There's some fan made stuff that dives deep into the violent half of Star wars, especially concerning the bounty hunters. it's a shame they don't touch on it much because those would make some darn good movies and shows.
Let’s be honest if they don’t make Boba Fett more lethal and I mean right now, this show is going to fail I mean one more episode like that and we’re going to be there
Thank you for reviewing this episode, you guys nailed ever issue I had with this episode. I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking they are ruining boba fett with a PC disney fuck fest.
@@vidmasterK1 the fact that every one of them in the group is a different race or minority? That only the women can be seen as tough badass and yet boba (the most deadly bounty hunter in the galaxy) is a a useless wimp who just makes light hearted humour? All disney produces now a days ticks a bunch of PC check boxes. It's not about the story anymore.
@@Greggor295 well the only PC thing I do see is the renaming of Boba's ship from slave 1 to Firespray. Because the original name might make white people feel guilty or otherwise uncomfortable about the past and American history. You know how it is.
Trying to be a crime lord who rules through respect instead of fear is like wanting to run a business on good feelings instead of making money. You're in the wrong business if you don't want people to fear you.
In principle, I agree, yeah. But it makes sense if Boba wants the "Daimyo" thing more than just a name. If he manages to reform the system away from "crime lord" to "feudal lord" like the Daimyo title originally was, it would make more sense. He'd have to reform or subjugate the other as-yet-unnamed Daimyos tho, to get them on-board with the new way.
Eh, it's a balance. If you just base it on fear, then everyone is gonna stab you in the back the first chance they get. They've gotta recognize that siding with you is the best for them, not just for what you'd do to them otherwise, but for what you offer.
@@Osmosis909 I'm getting tired of this argument. Disney produces the shows, they don't write or direct them. It's 100% the fault of the creative team for how it's being handled.
After seeing the tone of the 1st episode I knew the rest were going to be "disneyfied," and that we're not going to get a serious mature Boba Fett story. The Mandalorian's more of a badass bounty hunter than Boba Fett.
Boba is very soft in this show (kindness and gets tossed to the ground A LOT), and everyone around him does everything for him. I would have rather had a Boba Fett show of him doing bounties and stuff rather than some boring ‘’crime lord’. Also, this Disney Boba would never commit actual crimes, he’s only going to commit robin-hood crimes where he steals from people that seemingly deserve it. AND while I'm nitpicking - I hope theres some explanation for the watermelons buried 3ft below the sand in seemingly random spots in the desert. AND why Boba Fett didn't escape while he was digging for watermelons and only a small child sand person was guarding (it's established in this scene Boba doesn't want their respect yet).
I don't think he's TOO soft, what I'm struggling with is how he is managing to be 'Daimyo' when it's just him and a gang of like 2 pigs and the lady, and now a handful of cyber punk kids with vespas lolz. Like they sent one wookie and damn near destroyed his entire 'syndicate' lmfao
Imagine making a TV series about criminals but trying to make the main crime boss an honourable, kind, loving and forgiving man. This should not have passed the drawing board.
The cyberpunks were so bad it almost felt like a farce; it was just so cliche having the plucky, diverse, orphan gang trying to survive. Its something id have expected in a modern spaceballs.
I always thought everything was dull from being sand blasted and not getting the most supply's. With the empire in pieces I would think finding shiny new implants and scooters would bee very expressive. Yet here they are complaining about bottle water prices
@@brianbagnall3029 I don’t know for sure but I’m guessing that guy has a local monopoly on water. One, its Tatooine so water is a valuable commodity that everyone needs, two, he says that he is the middle man for the vapor farmers, and three, if you think monopolies wouldn’t exist on a crime ridden backwater then you are incorrect. A vapor farmer trying to undercut the monopoly pricing would probably get thugs paying him a house call. Sometimes there is no competitive option
I still don't know why he needs a bacta tank? he kicked ass in The Mandalorian, then arrives at tatooine and needs a bacta tank for some reason. Did he fell from some stairs offscreen?
Very good point! Had not even thought about it. In Mando he goes what is assumed days of time without even mentioning or needing one.. To all of a sudden needing to hop in after every time he gets punched
Episode 4 establishes that he'd still been healing from the Sarlaac. Which makes no sense given the show's timeline. The Mandalorian is set 6 years after Return of the Jedi. How long was Boba in the Sarlaac pit? 5 years? The flashback events couldn't have taken more than a few months, maybe a year. He couldn't have been with the Tuskens for 6 years and *then* decided to see about getting payment from the Pykes for the Tuskens.
100% agree about the spy kids. I IMMEDIATELY hated them the second I saw them on screen. Then that hate turned to absolute disgust the second I saw them on color coordinated power ranger scooters. I was expecting them to form together to make an anime robot at any second. An anime robot with a starbucks coffee in one hand.
Boba fett is just seems like an old man who can't do what he should be able to do and the world around him just caters to his whims. Why the hell is anyone listening to some guy with 3 soldiers??
BINGO ! thats probably my biggest problem with this whole thing....how the fuck is he a fucking crime lord he has no soldiers ! He has no clue what he is doing at all...trying to turn boba fett into a hutt was a really stupid idea in hindsight ! Also yeah he has no soldiers so the wookie just sneaks up on him ? The vast majority of people don't even know who he is either sooo... so far the tusken flashbacks have been enjoyable but the modern day story is falling flat on its face ! Hopefully they fix it but they dont have that many episodes to turn it around
I'm amazed he's survived in power for more than 5 minutes. Nobody respects him, he's not a particularly great fighter (he gets beaten up all the time), he's naive, and has a light bodyguard. You have to switch off your brain to follow any of it.
@@RS-ni3lj whats with all the people trying to kill boba fucking fett with their fists or melee weapons ? Is attacking someone using blasters banned on tatooine ?
The thing that baffles me is that I’ve seen people saying this show has them gripped and on the edge of their seats. I mean you’re free to like what you want but this is far from anything super exciting, people need to not set their standards so low.
I mean I feel like Disney holding the license means it's gonna be all pg and no risks, and while rogue one was pretty good I think for Star wars to feel right it needs to be owned by someone else
@@AndreNitroX On the ground? Disrespectful much? Disney worked really hard digging to the core of the earth to put that bar down. Jokes aside, after Mandolorian finished up and they announced the Boba show, I knew it was gonna be bad. I could feel it.
When Boba took a beating "Kirk vs Lizard" style, allowed his guard in his healing tank, spared the wookie and then tried to pet a rancor, I really lost my faith in him as a character. He's not an awesome hyper-dangerous mobster we used to know and love. He is a PG rated, elderly softie, a joke of a mobster, and a painfully average fighter altogether. I really hope this is rock bottom and that it's gonna change. Because if it's the actual direction the whole show is going, it's gonna be sequel level bad.
Of course they want him weak, they want to replace him as soon as possible with his assassin partner who is better in everything. Nothing will change, this is the Disney-Formular.
That's true, at many point in his own show, Mando had no problem killing anyone who was a danger to Grogu, it's really weird how they seem to be too afraid of making Boba Fett (always portrait as a bad guy in every form of media) actually killing people in cold blood, and he's suppose to be a Crime boss ???
Boba's father Jango was a badass, used many of his awesome weapons like the Flamethrower, Rocket Missile, had his badass dual wielded blasters, poisonous darts, so much more, every clone was Jango but meant to follow any orders given to them, Boba is also a clone but modified to be just like any other human being, no rapid growth/ageing. There was this PS2 game called the Bounty Hunter that you play as Jango and it's a story that happens before Star Wars 2 and how Jango got to take part in the whole cloning program, not sure if it's canon but to me it is, one of the best games I ever played.
If you read the comics of both Jango and Boba it makes this show even more unforgivable. Jango for a short time was mandolore the ultimate and Boba nearly become the ultimate. They took down so many opponents that I could see jedi get wrecked from . There is zero reason anything that went wrong went wrong . This is why canon is something I don't count as a actual thing . Because it's a excuse when you out stuff from canon to say oh that never happned .and yes that game is awesome and not canon which is why I say the use of the word canon is a excuse company's use to only make things count when convenient . If people like this show that's fine more power to them . I just don't see this show turning around its 3 episodes in and he's done almost nothing combat wise this whole 3 episodes.
What would've been really cool in the first episode is if when boba Fett was attacked, he flies up and burns all the assassin's. One survives but is badly burned. So boba signals to the guards to get the badly burned assassin to that healing tank thing. Then some exposition untill the assassin is able to be revived enough to talk. Boom. Hundred times better already.
I can't believe how quickly my opinion of this show has changed. I *loved* the last two episodes, and I was confident that Jon Favreau understood Star Wars fans fully. But this episode felt like a return to the dark days of the sequel trilogy. The CW biker gang was awful in every conceivable way, and Boba is being completely defanged -- dare I say humiliated. I hope this is just a bump in the road and that next week's episode is great, but right now I'm concerned.
I'm still hit and miss on this series. I get that Fett is on a different journey now after his near death experience post-sarlacc. But, it's getting too far from his core character when he takes lip from street punks without some sort of rebuke to correct their ways. "No disintegrations" as Vader had once said, implying that Boba didn't play around. The vespas looked too clean and too much like team Voltron or the Power Rangers for my taste, and they moved too slowly. Lucas always made it a point to make Star Wars vehicles move very fast. Danny Trejo bringing in a new rancor was awesome, though. However, being that this is on Disney, we'll probably never get to see it do anything but be a big puppy dog.
Only because it has bugged me for years - I always heard "No disintegrations" aimed at ALL of the bounty hunters, Vader just says it to Boba because they have an established relationship so it makes for good theatre. I never actually believed that Boba Fett would have ever tried to collect a bounty on a disintegrated corpse, didn't seem to fit with the "competent bounty hunter" vibe.
I think the vespas would have looked fine.... on Nar Shaddaa! Also, Vader killed, no, slaughtered the entire Hutt council not too long ago, so the Hutts are weakened at the moment. They are certainly not picking a fight with Leia and the New Republic.
When that's the case, that the Hutts are in a weakened state, then maybe that's something they should have mentioned in the Book of Boba Fett. I hate when movies or TV-Shows don't tell you such crucial information for the story. You can't expect everyone to have watched and/or read every important sorce material. The understandability of a story should be measured by the information given within the story.
I completely agree. If Boba went off planet to Coruscant to deal with the the twins & happen to run into these guys & brought them to Tatooine.... that would've worked waaaaay better. Either Nar Shadaa or Coruscant would've been perfect. These guys definitely don't belong on Tatooine.
Would make sense to be owned like some snooty little rich fuck from that casino planet and to never been seen beyond maybe 3 seconds in the background parked somewhere near a bar
I know we're only 3 episodes in, but I'm gonna be a bit cynical and say this series will be an afterthought in the end for most fans. The tone of the series is all wrong and it's not something you can fix with a few more episodes. The overall concept is solid, but Boba should have been written more like an underworld mob boss as that's the role he's attempting to fill, not some benevolent usurper who wants to solve everybody's problems. Mandalorian borrowed influences from spaghetti westerns, this show should have borrowed from everyone's favorite mafia films.
I didn’t even know it was possible to have a lame biker gang. When they said this “gang” used cybernetics to upgrade themselves that was not what I imagined. Who tf gives themself a extendo boot? Why didn’t Boba chase them with his Jet Pack
Does it REALLY matter how the gang looks, or how their bikes look? I just saw it as Boba recruiting people to work for him. He isn't stupid and is just going to take one person's word for things. He's going to check things out first before making a final decision on the matter. As for not chasing the majordomo, the kids had the faster bikes. Boba didn't. Seemed simple enough to me.
He didn’t use the jet pack in the episode where he was surrounded by those guys with energy shields either. I don’t think it works, or they don’t want to put the jet pack effect into the budget
I agree that the "Spy Kids" would fit better outside that Dex's Diner from Attack of the Clones, so yeah they have no place on this show in terms of design Also the Boba vs Wookie fight made him look like Frank from It's Always Sunny in Philedelphia
You can tell Robert Rodriguez directed this because there were certain shots with the cyber kids that had the same style as spykids 😂 it threw me off guard and lost me
I think what annoys me the most with this series is how, again, they try to cater to "modern audiences" instead of actual Star Wars fans. Lucas's universe is vast, yes, but it has lore-built rules, so to speak. The "Teenage Cyber-Bikers from Outer Space" is just as slap-in-the-face as turning one of the most feared Bounty Hunters in the galaxy into some would-be benevolent crime lord. Dulling the edge of Boba Fett is like giving your teenage kids plastic scissors because you're afraid they'll cut themselves otherwise.
Yeah, cyberpunk was a garbage game and the least we need is more gen Z, short attention spamming content for casuals that don't care about star wars after a day.
I’d have to seriously disagree with the sentiment of lore built rules. It’s one of the reasons why Red Letter Media was so spot on with their opinion that anyone who does new Star Wars is fucked, cause Star Wars is just aesthetic. At St! Lightsaber! Stormtrooper!!
@@DeathMetalThrasher cyberpunk the game doesn't have anything to do with those characters. Not even an inspiration. Cyberpunk genre has been around for decades and cyborgs have also been in Star Wars before. The problem is that those characters are a bit out of place and their prosthetics were kind of useless. The writing was also bad
The book of Boba Fett is coming off like a kids show. Campy action, no real life or death stakes, basic bubble gum @#$&. What a waste! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I am genuinely worried for the kenobi show, I feel like it's gonna be "disneyfied", I get that it's a different director but these things got approved somehow
I suspect Kenobi will be fine because Obi-Wan's not an anti-hero. Disney only knows how to write Captain America-style full paragon heroes, which suits model jedi Obi-Wan just fine.
@@Vahig7 Pssst hey guess what? You are allowed your opinion, you can like this just fine Just allow OTHER people to do the same too If they don't like it, allow them that freedom just like you have yours to like something
Wookie: Incompetent Rancor: a Depressed Rancor really? I guess this was coming after good guys Tusken Raiders. Power Rangers... i don't even at this point, btw they can afford mods and shinny new scooters but not water?
Bruh, how can you miss something so obvious, the power ranger vespas are going to combine and turn into an equippable megazord armor, which Boba's pet Rancor will equip, while Boba rides the megazord rancor on the streets of Mos Espa to assert dominance.
Yeah, definitely had some really weird vibes from this episode and the show overall until now. The vespa spy kids this episode are the pinnacle. I figured "this whole show so far feels kinda weird, I hope Rodriguez endgame is for it to fit and make sense." We don't know yet where he's going with all this, so hopefully it'll all be fine in the final episode. I'm afraid it won't tho. :/ The cyberpunk-aspect: ok, that's fine, let's say there are people like this in Star Wars, fits the world. The four vespas, all different colors, gave me MAJOR spy kids vibes tho ... really don't like this. Also, the whole setup with these people is flawed: They complain that guy overcharges them for water but HOW MUCH do their vespas and cyberpunk-parts cost? The look like they cost A LOT.
Yeah, and the one guy even says he paid a lot his cyborg eye. It must be specialized work, done when necessary like Luke’s new hand or in extreme situations like General Grievous and Darth Vader.
I'm trying to figure out how a 7' tall bigfoot in gladiator armor got past everyone without any alarms going off, no one saw him. He got straight to Fett and pulled him out of his lazuras pit jacuzzi. This is not a tight operation Boba has obviously.
Imagine if this was a mob series and the mob boss shows up one episode with four teenagers on color coded tricycles, trying to shake someone down for an outstanding loan
This ain't the Boba Fett they introduced in the Mandalorian... Fett literally shot Bib Fortuna in the face in The Mandalorian but in this show, he's just soft & weak.
I just see this as Disney creating fanfictions with characters like Jake Skywalker and Bango Fett. None of these characters have anything in common with the characters George Lucas created.
I know it's so weird seeing that and now see a complete 180 on him.
He's not though
He seems woke
Where's my disintegration rifle? Mando gets one, but where is Boba's?
Hiring those "cyber punks" as his personal bodyguards really threw me off. If he hired them as his eyes and ears out in the street, feeding Boba Fett information, it would've been so much better.
This makes SO much more sense!!!!
Imagine hiring the cyber punks as your bodyguards but not even tossing the idea to Krrsantan after the Hutts abandon him.
This is the same bullshit they did with Kingpin in hawkeye where he hired the trackuit mafia for some reason
the car and motorbikes? chases also looks bad, when i watched somehow it feels very slow. the bikes move awkward, there's no sense of speed and weight. man what a bad episode.
@@Dummy666 wouldn’t the wookie owe him a life debt after being spared? I expect to see him back

People complain about high water costs. Same people also decked out in cybernetics and brightly colored scooters.
“We don’t have money for water!”
They said with pimped out rides that are clearly newly washed.
I've been very forgiving of the show, but this episode definitely rubbed me the wrong way.
The speeders/cyberpunk kids were the biggest offense. Tatooine, a lawless place where people are either slaves or selling water, or junk for a living.
Meanwhile this frat pack of kids with freshly waxed hotrods and body augments is just chilling in town.
It's like going into downtown Detroit with a Lambo and not expecting to get mugged/car chopped.

They made Boba into a joke, everyone just gets away with knocking boba around and disrespecting him. He is too reserved, the least he could’ve done was beat the shit out of the mayor’s assistant for wasting his time and making constant threats but nope. Fennec is just a nothing character so far, her one job is to protect Boba and somehow the wookie gets past her
He was died comically in Return of Jedi, so it's not out of Canon.
@@artimuos903 everyone criticizes that moment. And they're supposed to be remedying that, not making it worse
Fennec will probably betray Boba towards the end of this series. There's no way Black Krazy Stan could sneak his big ass into Fett's HQ without alerting the "master assassin" Fennec.
@@carnagerulez312 there's a theory that she let the Wookie in because he somehow got into Jabba's fortress that was supposingly made with high security/safety in mind.
Also Boba should have destroyed some droid limbs when the cyberpunk teens insulted him. After that threaten to aim more vital parts next.
All we wanted was a Dredd style movie starring Boba.
Instead we get an old man having bad dreams in the bath.
This is the best summary I've seen yet to describe this show 🤣
this made me laugh. should be the official synopsis.
They got our hopes up when he was kicking ass in mando season 2
I can't believe there are still people who shill for Disney Star Wars. It's completely dead and I can't wait to laugh my ass off when they fuck up Kenobi. I'm sure he'll get his ass kicked more times than we'd like.
What I wanted was The Mandalorian show, but with Boba. That show was exactly what I always wanted, and I think they really shot themselves in the foot because now they're trying to make Boba complete different.
Let’s remember this is the Boba Fett that plain out shot Bib Fortuna to take his place as a crime lord. The Boba Fett in this series would’ve politely asked Bib to please let him become the new crime lord.
Or Fennec would have shot him and Fett would've asked if that were necessary.
At this point Fennec is even more merciless than Bobba. WTF!

@@yoda301 Yep. Easy repaints and switching some smaller pieces.
gotta have those rainbow colours represented in a sand world of beige and oranges, utter vomit worthy.
I almost turned it off seeing that stupid chase scene
In episode one of the Mandalorian we get Mando cutting a guy in half with a door within the first two minutes or so. That alone made him a more ruthless bounty hunter than what we are seeing Boba Fett portrayed as. It’s also why that show really got me invested to watch. It had some edge to it without being graphic. I know I personally want to see Fett with more bite to him.
It is probably because the showrunners are different.
The Mandalorian is more Boba Fett than Boba Fett
It makes zero sense for his character and I'm very close to removing this show from my head canon entirely unless the rest of the show is Boba being the badass he should be.
In Boba Fett’s first episode he choked out a 4 armed beast with a chain naked. That’s way more badass imo
Dude... It's STAR WARS. STAR WARS is for kids!
May I remind you that literally in those original 3 movies, all we got of Boba Fett is him getting his ass kicked and just sorta looking menacing in the background.
Some of ya'll need to remember that kids need entertainment too, and not everything needs to be about "Star Wars being more gritty and adult", that's actually the last thing I want from it.
The way Boba is being Disneyfied is making me really concerned for how they'll handle Kenobi
Don't you want kenobi to have a pink light saber though and the best part is disney wil probably have. Some cyber punk diverse kids to jump him and beat him up lol
Obi Wan was already a teddy bear pacifict. No change there.
@@Charok1 don't underestimate disney
Oh no, Obi is gonna be their posterboy, hes gonna be OP and very woke and Disney approved
Kenobi series were he's running an old age home and donated his lightsaber
Boba fett seems naive as hell in this show.
He leave the sand people alone to go collect money and the people he thinks are capable of protecting the train get wiped out by the snall biker gang who dont have bikes any more because he took them. then he just thinks he can become the new mob boss, but he doesnt do anything to protect anyone or prevent any petty crime or even keep himself protected. He sleeps in a bacta tank with no guard.
Hes just so stupid.
Can't really blame Boba for the raid on the Tuskens. It's not like he knew how big the biker gang is or if they would bother targeting the Tuskens. Tuskens are no push overs. They have been known to give people serious problems. They are also known to be great sharpshooters. They sniped Pikes on moving train from a distance. Tuskens really didn't need Boba babysitting them
The Pikes probably took out the town, bikers too the blame.
I think alex mentioned it in the first episode. He walks down the streets like he turned god mode on or something.
As DestructableMe said, the Pykes likely wiped out the Tuskens, part of their plan to take Tatoonine and just made it looks like the bikers did it. A little throwback to Stormtroopers making it seems the Tuskens attacked the Jawas.
For real, even Vader had guards while he was in his bacta tank because he's no fool
I’d just like to point to another character who was done right when he was setting up his crime empire: Maul. When he went to the black sun to gain their support and they declined. His brother beheaded all of them. That’s how it’s done.
Thank you, finally someone else mentioned that they did the same storyline in the clone wars, but much better and concise. In 20 minutes we got farther in the clone wars then we did in 3 episodes of Boba fett.
It's like Disney figured people like Boba because he's hard and so they made him soft. We're not supposed to like legacy characters.
Jon Favreau wrote this show.

Awful lot of stupidity in this thread to condemn the guy.

The whole show is feeling anticlimactic to me. Building and "army" to go to "war"? What army?? What war?? Boba's got 6 little henchmen and a Rancor. It's gonna be a playground scuffle at best, calling it a war is a stretch and a half.
I'd call it three stretches. And the show is a disjointed mess.
Let's hope they can pull a clone wars season 7 and give us the best episodes right after the worst ones.

I was just so annoyed that they could've gone with the Tuskens joining Boba in ruling over Tatooine, developed some of them like the kid the leader and the woman to be more interesting characters, and maybe included some of Boba's old bounty hunter companions. But instead they killed off the tuskens, they wasted the one bounty hunter fight so far and then dismissed the character, and now his army is a bunch of spy kids we know nothing about with 0 motivation to care about Boba's cause. And that’s even without mentioning the wacky design
@Siberian ideally boba wouldn’t need their approval since he’d be the feared and respected crime lord, but yeah given the current way it’s going it probably wouldn’t have happened that way lol

The worst is Boba APOLOGIZES for saying "keep an eye on them..." Since when a bounty hunter cares about hurting feelings ?

I can tolerate the vespas and punks, but not this.
Disney in a nutshell
The worst is that guy speaks as if he’s still in London. Took me out of Star Wars
I think you guys are looking too deep into that. Jokes like that have been made in all sorts of movies/tv. i.e a character saying "break a leg" to a guy that has a prosthetic, forgetting that he has a prosthetic. This isn't new.
At this point, this show is going from a weekly watch to a “I’ll wait until all the episodes drop” before I watch.
Like, I can totally see these characters living in a place like Coruscant, which is essentially a cyberpunk megacity, especially in the lower levels. But it's so out of place here in a setting that is otherwise more like an Old Western frontier type city.
There are Japanese webs that grew up in a land far away in a desert.

This feels like a different Jango clone.
The fight with Black Krrsantan was conceived completely wrong. Boba should never have been that vulnerable in the bacta pod to begin with. BK should have wrecked shop with the Gamorreans and Mod Squad then Boba - in his armour - should have come to save them. Instead Shand is the one who traps him and Boba comes down in his robes, gimme a break
Precisely my problem, Boba shouldn't be in his robes, he should've suited up immediately and kicked the crap outta Krrsantan.
@@izilladkilla I mean sure, but he can't "suit up" in the like 30 seconds it took for Shand to end that encounter lol.

To be fair, its smarter for BK to attack him sans armor. He just didn’t kill Boba the 9 instances he could have.
Its very underwhelming tbh. When we all saw the Mandalorian season finally and we saw Boba sit on his thrown. In his full glory we thought we were going to see him as ruthless as ever but still keeps his honor in tact. Instead... we got a wannabe crime lord who takes everyone's disrespect and power ranger vehicles with spy kids riding along side with him. We have 5 or 4 episodes left.... I still have hope that there can be some grit and ruthlessness within this character but the chances are very very slim.
The Disney effect
Yeah...the combat scenes before episode 3 was pretty questionable as well, and now that episode 3 is out, I agree; underwhelming, and it does not look like it is going to get better.
I'm still annoyed about the "fight"with the wookie. In reality, and as mentioned in the video, Boba lost the moment his neck was grabbed in thr bacta tank. Any seasoned killer would have ended it right there.
@@jamesarnold2027 who was guarding him😂
@Austin Ivey I have a theory for the following episodes. Bobas patients is tested by everyone and he gets to his breaking point and let's loose. Because at this point, Shand is starting to question Boba and its not looking good.
@@xaviermartin390 Right?? Boba just took over Jabba's Empire, irks the Hutts in doing so, receives threats when meeting them, and in the following afternoon, he slept in bacta completely unguarded.
This show is giving us too many nitpicking opportunities!
I was hoping Fett was going to keep the Wookie in the pit and use him as a replacement rancor, but that would probably be too dark.
I thought this too!! Thought boba would starve him and feed him people! But noooo
That would have been an awesome power move for Boba. But slavery bad and disney no wanna show that
@@DillsyYourDaddy67 If HBO had star wars they would give us what the fans want
That would be awesome. Fffcf Robert Rodrigues!
Lol
It really is weird - in “The Mandalorian” Boba is a total badass and so is Fennec, but in His Own Show Boba is just so incompetent, and is so utterly passive (I get it rule with respect, but barely winning any of his fights by skin of his teeth w/ help from his bodyguards doesn’t rouse any respect), thus making Fennec carry all of the weight and is the one with actual “balls” to get the job done.
Boba totally “died” in that pit, whatever crawled out was humbled by the Tuskens and the writers elude that Boba is still a harden fighter, but The Book of Boba sure as hell shows me otherwise. Maybe he should just leave the whole underworld thing and just hunt remnant Imperials, he does a much better job at that then trying to play Daimyo.
Boba died. It's bullshit they brought him back. He's dead. This is as canon as the sequel movies
The worst thing it's that in The Mandalorian Boba was still ruthless, precise and kinda snarky after escaping the Sarlacc.
The other issue is that Boba has years of experience being a bounty hunter and it feels like he is an infant and needs to relearn how to survive. It's insane how bad it is.
It could make sense if you take it as he's still fresh from the sarlac and still needs bacta but.. 1. It doesn't seem that he spent a long time in sarlac as they put all props there as if he just left right after he fell down and Luke with friends went away. 2. Even if he was there a year and now he's really weak - fuck that nobody wants to watch a weak Boba Fett
@@raukoring I could understand being weak after fighting through the sarlacc pit but there has been more then enough time to recover after spending so much time with the sand people. He didn't need a tank with them and near the end could best their best. So a major flaw there. Plus it's not like he lost his memories. It would make more sense if he might have ptsd or something and hates Solo for what he went through but it's like none of that happened.
@@raukoring they may as well have us watching him go about his day buying groceries, washing dishes and flipping through the holonet for new shows. It's not only dumb, it's boring. How the hell did you manage to make Boba Fett boring??
As much we love Robert Rodriguez for making movies such as desperado and from dusk til dawn ...we might have to acknowledge we're dealing with Robert Rodriguez who made spy-kids, shark boy and lava girl...
and machete and planet terror
It's just so weird that Boba is only starting to recruit goons now. I know he used to be a bounty hunter but he's worked for criminals before, so shouldn't he already know that he needs henchmen to actually run a criminal organization? If he's going to protect his territory, he can't do all the fighting himself, his enemies have henchmen and they can attack more than one place at a time.
Also, the Vespa gang has to be set up to for slaughter. They're a bunch of punk kids, how are they going to stand up against actual criminals with blasters and ships who have no problem murdering people that get their way? And Boba just recruits them without seeing what they can do first? If a gang recruits new members, don't they need to know if the new guy is competent? Don't they need to know if the new guy is good at fighting or stealing or spying on rival gangs so they can put him to good use?
And isn’t it bizarre that no one seems to know who he is (except for a few explicit call outs)? You would think people would already fear his name.
It drove me nuts in Mando when Boba walks off his ship and Bill Burr’s character is intimidated at first because he thinks Boba is Mando. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
@Andrew-~ I fear it's worse than mid. I'm seeing a lot of "white male stupid and weak, needs to always be saved by women". What other reason would justify them COMPLETELY neutering Boba. He's now Beta Boba
Forget about needing goons, who's doing the paperwork, who's actually running the organization. What's Boba shipping, Selling, what's his actual organization FOR?
@@1_underthesun He's not even white, fuck are you smoking?
@@Obdimus Fine, remove the word "white" from my post. Doesn't change anything
In Disney's attempt to sanitize Boba Fett for a tv show, they've completely washed away everything that made him interesting in the first place.
The fact that boba fett recruited emo punk cyborgs who ride space mopeds, shows he’s desperate, and in what world would those little scooters keep up with an actual speeder
You act like Boba actually decided to do this and not the writers
Those kids have money for shinny scooters and to mod themselves(not because they lost limbs but because it makes them "cooler") but are too poor for water.
People who write this stuff don't think one palm beyond "wouldn't this be cool?"
Btw the answer is no it's not cool in this case.
@@sevach how was that bad writing that's literally the point on multiple levels but an obvious one that you're clearly not seeing is the Absurd cost for water on this planet it's not bad writing its people being completely irrational and blind to the story for no reason
@@msbkaioken136 Even if we go off the assumption the man is the only person in the city charging for water (which I doubt) and its highly expensive, I don't think those scooters and modifications were any cheaper, give them third rate looking mods and beat to hell speeders and I would buy it instantly, but they look far to clean and "cool" to be in the position they claim to be in, its like a guy with a new iphone/nintendo switch pulling up to the food pantry in his Ferrari for handouts, Maybe some details will come later that explains this but right now these characters presentation conflicts
I know people who Just Bet away all Money they get, earn. Some of them make Double what i do, but for some reason...he lives Like a homeleas bum.
My first red flag of soft boba was when he offered to cut the ropes for the Rodian in episode 1 when escaping from the tuskens. IMO it just doesn’t fit his character especially before he was taken in the tribe and had character development.
There's a saying, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
In Boba's weakened state, it would make sense for him to want to some help, especially if there's a chance he's going to be hunted down by Tuskens in the desert
Bro Boba Fett isn’t just some jerk he’s gonna show respect to others he would be a hypocrite if he left the Rodian without offering to free him

The Mandalorian was basically what Boba Fett would have been but I feel since they basically did that, they have made this Boba a completely different character for the worst mostly. Its possible it could get better but so far, I'm not even sure if he has even shot his blaster so far.
Agreed
Thats what I felt. Boba Fett is too like Mando in this series. He's got exactly the same values and honor and stuff. I thought Boba was going to be like the Punisher to Mandos Daredevil
Fennec is literally Boba's balls in human form. Stop looking I found them.
Shes more badass than he is at this point. I want boba to have a whole john wick scene against an entire group.
Omg , your comment made me laugh So hard, MasterJack ! 🤣 - epic
Fennec for crime lord 2022!
Yeah shes fuckin Fettin it! I felt BK had that vibe up until now, specially how he jogs away like a fuckin gag
I had this image of Boba in my head, kinda like a tough Judge Dredd antihero type.
Image shattered. He's just a weak, naive, and now slimy old man.
Judge dredd. Exactly like that actually
I was looking forward to this show expecting to see a badass Boba Fett being a vigilante. Yet he is useless! He could have used his Jet pack and back pack mounted rocket to stop the car. However we got one of the worst chase sequences I have ever seen.
I don't think he ever fixed his jetpack since mandalorian. He flat out misses his actual target in that series because of it, only hitting the other ship through luck
im glad angryjoe is reviewing this show on the regular instead of doing the entire season in one video. hawkeye took forever to come out
Post Endgame Marvel will be like Yamcha
Loki was interesting and some of wandavision. What if’s only good episode was 4. Other then that the last big blast of a marvel movie was no way home so I don’t expect anything to be on those levels of endgame and that for a good while
The lamest chase scene I have ever seen was in this episode.
It looked like they could have gotten off and ran faster.
Robert rodriquez is a clown
@@senate2674 how is it his fault?
@@xUseTheForks He directed it?
@@CdrRogue exactly he didn't write it
I really thought mando would be the "rule with respect" light side mandalorian, and that boba could be the badass mercenary from his scenes in the mandalorian. But instead Bobas character in the show could have been literally anyone, the story isn't built for him.
Hard to believe this is the same Boba that Vader had to specifically tell “no disintegration’s”
I mean, he did disintegrate that one assassin and I’m sure it won’t be the last
Vader said that to Boba Fett. This is Bobby Phet who has an issue with dissing integration.
Okay it was not just me. When I first saw those colorful hover motorbikes I was like "uhhh....this seems off."
They could have fixed that in one simple way. Have them start with ratty clothes and dinged up bikes with totally worn off paint.
Then after helping boba for a while they upgrade their bikes and their clothes.
It stylistically clashes with the environment of Tatooine. If this was somewhere like Coruscant, maybe it wouldn't look as bad.
Yeah, they don't really fit in starwars. Especially on Tatooine.
Yeah, I'm looking at them again and I can't believe I didn't notice how out of place they looked! What is this, Power Rangers?!
Even IF Boba's recent sand raider fam "made" this a soft Boba, that explanation wouldn't give reason to the direction given to the "hardcore Boba" we got in the Mandalorian. Great writing doesn't mix with bad directorial
There are so many people out there now working on movies who’s only talent is ruining pre-existing properties that we all love.
We really haven't seen boba do much himself in his own show. We saw him kick ass in the mandalorian and haven't gotten anything even close to that so far in this show. Boba has been nerfed massively and it's really causing me to lose interest
Hes weak as fuck. Also I turned the tv off when the gay teens came in to save him from the wookie.
@@chiefkaha5650 Gay teens, omfg haha. That is probably the most accurate description of this episode. Gay Teens Save Boba.
fml
@@MrMrTravman your reply cracked me up hahaha. Why did they back to the 70-80’s era type cars and culture lol
This show is holding so much back everything feels clean and polished when tatooine and the criminal underworld should be dirty and scummy. Those vespa speeders and the riders do not seem like they belong on Tatooine, they maybe would work on coruscant or nar shadaa but they feel out of place on Tatooine.
I was pretty disappointed that Krrsantan didnt destroy at least one those cyperbunk wannabe's or one of the gamorreans, it would have been a nice call back to when Han Solo said "That's 'cause droids don't rip people's arms out of their sockets when they lose...wookies are known to do that..".
Overall I think this show is missing the mark of what a criminal underworld should feel like.
"but they feel out of place on Tatooine."
It's a HUGE galaxy and living as a rebellious teen on tatooine must suck. I am sure that they found those things to be cool and ordered them on the star wars equivalent of amazon xD.
I read about those "vespas" before I watched the episode and tbh, I would not really have noticed them that much if i would not have read about them beforehand. Yes, they stand out. But not THAT much...
@@jean-lucpicard581 Na they stood out man. Those bikes looked nothing like anything in star wars.
@@jean-lucpicard581 "Water is too expensive. We need it to wash our clothes and space scooters. Plus we need money for these useless cybernetic augmentations"
What bugs me most about those kids is that they stole because they thought it was unfair that they had to pay those rates for water, yet I'm sorry, compared to all other people on Tattooine, these kids have no right to bitch and moan and should be paying more. I mean hell, the way they dress, those cybernetics, and those stupid speeders all look like things someone from the higher platforms of Coruscant would buy, not a bunch of homeless kids in the slums of Tattooine.
To be fair, I think they have literally nothing else to their name.
They probably stole that too
Here's a better idea everyone should get off Tatooine and leave the tuskens in peace it's the Jawas and Tuskens planet in the first place

The show is dull, with no real heart and direction to where it wants to go and who it wants to be because it's so boringggggg.

What kinda crime lord does side quests?
It would have been much more interesting if Boba recruited a unit of stormtroopers who managed to survive after the fall of the empire, and went on as some kind of gang.
That would actually make a lot more sense than what we got in this episode. The cyberpunk teenage Vespa gang was beyond awful, and it almost made me hurt myself whenever I saw them on the screen.
They are bad actors, have the most stupid gadgets and outfits, and don't fit in with the Star Wars universe, at all.
If you are interested in a story about a squad of stormtroopers no longer part of the empire, there is a star wars book called Allegiance from the Old EU that is worth a read. Not a stormtrooper "gang", but they do some vigilante work against criminal elements after they are forced to go AWOL from the empire.
I just don’t understand how they keep missing the mark with not being As just in your face a bad ass as the first episode of the Mandalorian. Are we forgetting that the dude straight up cut someone in half with an automatic door barely a few minutes in. Yet here we are with brightly colored floating Vespas what the hell is happening
They lured us in with a false sense of security and comfort before destroying our childhoods
just wait, i am feeling like theyre going to end this season with the "space power rangers" saving Boba Fett. When its done, boba will ride the red vespa over the sand dunes during a dual sun set. Then suddenly Boba turns to camera and says " Im Boba Skywalker". End scene
Not happening.
Seems that maybe Mandalorian was a nice accident the more I see Book of Bobba
This should have been an absolutely easy slam dunk. Coming off the hype and love for The Mandalorian, Boba is a character everyone loved who was a blank slate they could have gone anywhere with.... Any one of us in this comment section could have written a better story for Boba Fett, yet these "professionals" thought adding Power Rangers and neutering Boba was the way to go. Well, if that was their goal, congrats to them, because from now on I'll see Boba as incompetent and soft.
Meet Beta Boba everyone!
What worried me the most, is that Boba apologized for the eye joke towards the punk kid. That is not how crimelord should act
Yeah. So dumb. And it doesn't even make sense, because people have all sorts of strange physical features in Star Wars. A bionic eye is nothing. Boba wouldn't even care.
Yep. Completely out of character.
Boba is wayy too nice here, he just feels like a generic hero here, not a badass cutthroat bounty hunter
Boba feels like those fighting game bosses that are so badass then you unlock him and they nerf him into the ground
I see where you're coming from. Personally I think they're really afraid to touch on the more violent half of Star wars. Boba Fett is a crime Lord and before that he was a hired killer. The man's body count is probably higher than a Warframe's. For him to act so soft is a little strange. this is coming from someone who doesn't know him all that well aside from the movies and a few games.
He's feared across the galaxy as a cold-blooded contract killer, he should be portrayed as an antihero. Him being this reasonable, kind-hearted guy who wants to rule through respect makes no sense.
It is Disney man. Soon they gonna add in Mickey mouse in it
They had no problem in The Mandalorian cutting someone in half and vaporizing a half dozen Jawas. So why are they so timid now?
@@jedimario22 sounds like KK sticking her hand in the cookie jar more this time around where it don't belong.
that's just my guess...
cold blooded is exactly what I remember him to be from the games. There's some fan made stuff that dives deep into the violent half of Star wars, especially concerning the bounty hunters. it's a shame they don't touch on it much because those would make some darn good movies and shows.
Honestly i haven't been enjoying this nearly as much as i did The Mandalorian
Same but episode 2 was close
Let’s be honest if they don’t make Boba Fett more lethal and I mean right now, this show is going to fail
I mean one more episode like that and we’re going to be there

@@Greggor295 well the only PC thing I do see is the renaming of Boba's ship from slave 1 to Firespray. Because the original name might make white people feel guilty or otherwise uncomfortable about the past and American history. You know how it is.
Trying to be a crime lord who rules through respect instead of fear is like wanting to run a business on good feelings instead of making money. You're in the wrong business if you don't want people to fear you.
In principle, I agree, yeah. But it makes sense if Boba wants the "Daimyo" thing more than just a name. If he manages to reform the system away from "crime lord" to "feudal lord" like the Daimyo title originally was, it would make more sense. He'd have to reform or subjugate the other as-yet-unnamed Daimyos tho, to get them on-board with the new way.
Eh, it's a balance. If you just base it on fear, then everyone is gonna stab you in the back the first chance they get. They've gotta recognize that siding with you is the best for them, not just for what you'd do to them otherwise, but for what you offer.
It’s Disney, their fault.
Ruling with respect is fine, but there needs to be a limit to the amount of insolence you'll tolerate.
@@Osmosis909 I'm getting tired of this argument. Disney produces the shows, they don't write or direct them. It's 100% the fault of the creative team for how it's being handled.
I liked Ep 3 for the most part but the chase at the end was so bad it made me laugh out loud
After seeing the tone of the 1st episode I knew the rest were going to be "disneyfied," and that we're not going to get a serious mature Boba Fett story. The Mandalorian's more of a badass bounty hunter than Boba Fett.
Every single flaw and problem with this show can be summed up with the phrase 'it's a Disney show'.
Boba is very soft in this show (kindness and gets tossed to the ground A LOT), and everyone around him does everything for him. I would have rather had a Boba Fett show of him doing bounties and stuff rather than some boring ‘’crime lord’.
Also, this Disney Boba would never commit actual crimes, he’s only going to commit robin-hood crimes where he steals from people that seemingly deserve it.
AND while I'm nitpicking - I hope theres some explanation for the watermelons buried 3ft below the sand in seemingly random spots in the desert.
AND why Boba Fett didn't escape while he was digging for watermelons and only a small child sand person was guarding (it's established in this scene Boba doesn't want their respect yet).
I don't think he's TOO soft, what I'm struggling with is how he is managing to be 'Daimyo' when it's just him and a gang of like 2 pigs and the lady, and now a handful of cyber punk kids with vespas lolz. Like they sent one wookie and damn near destroyed his entire 'syndicate' lmfao
they gon made him woke again
*A LOT
Quit combining those two words when they've never been together.
Imagine making a TV series about criminals but trying to make the main crime boss an honourable, kind, loving and forgiving man. This should not have passed the drawing board.
The cyberpunks were so bad it almost felt like a farce; it was just so cliche having the plucky, diverse, orphan gang trying to survive. Its something id have expected in a modern spaceballs.
I always thought everything was dull from being sand blasted and not getting the most supply's. With the empire in pieces I would think finding shiny new implants and scooters would bee very expressive. Yet here they are complaining about bottle water prices
Hey I have some water bottles to sell you, that will be 50 bucks for one.

@@brianbagnall3029 And with their shiny vespa they can go anywhere lol
@@brianbagnall3029 I don’t know for sure but I’m guessing that guy has a local monopoly on water. One, its Tatooine so water is a valuable commodity that everyone needs, two, he says that he is the middle man for the vapor farmers, and three, if you think monopolies wouldn’t exist on a crime ridden backwater then you are incorrect. A vapor farmer trying to undercut the monopoly pricing would probably get thugs paying him a house call. Sometimes there is no competitive option
Yup, just doesn't track does it....
Hopefully, this epi is a rare misstep 🤞🏾🙏🏾🤔
I still don't know why he needs a bacta tank? he kicked ass in The Mandalorian, then arrives at tatooine and needs a bacta tank for some reason. Did he fell from some stairs offscreen?
Very good point! Had not even thought about it. In Mando he goes what is assumed days of time without even mentioning or needing one.. To all of a sudden needing to hop in after every time he gets punched
Episode 4 establishes that he'd still been healing from the Sarlaac. Which makes no sense given the show's timeline. The Mandalorian is set 6 years after Return of the Jedi. How long was Boba in the Sarlaac pit? 5 years? The flashback events couldn't have taken more than a few months, maybe a year. He couldn't have been with the Tuskens for 6 years and *then* decided to see about getting payment from the Pykes for the Tuskens.
Joe's hair going out of his frame as he rants is making me laugh my ass off lol

What a step back from episode 2 😔
Episode 2 was art!
Episode 3 was just...bad
1 and 2 felt kinda slow but they were on track for something maybe really good, now 3… my god idk what this is
Hopefully the next few episodes are better maybe this was just setting something up
Let’s hope the clown hang dies next episodeX they’re ruining the show
All the episodes sucked so far honestly, I’m still asking “where is boba fett?”
100% agree about the spy kids. I IMMEDIATELY hated them the second I saw them on screen. Then that hate turned to absolute disgust the second I saw them on color coordinated power ranger scooters. I was expecting them to form together to make an anime robot at any second. An anime robot with a starbucks coffee in one hand.
Boba fett is just seems like an old man who can't do what he should be able to do and the world around him just caters to his whims.
Why the hell is anyone listening to some guy with 3 soldiers??
BINGO ! thats probably my biggest problem with this whole thing....how the fuck is he a fucking crime lord he has no soldiers ! He has no clue what he is doing at all...trying to turn boba fett into a hutt was a really stupid idea in hindsight ! Also yeah he has no soldiers so the wookie just sneaks up on him ? The vast majority of people don't even know who he is either sooo... so far the tusken flashbacks have been enjoyable but the modern day story is falling flat on its face ! Hopefully they fix it but they dont have that many episodes to turn it around
I'm amazed he's survived in power for more than 5 minutes. Nobody respects him, he's not a particularly great fighter (he gets beaten up all the time), he's naive, and has a light bodyguard. You have to switch off your brain to follow any of it.
Once again, theyre Luking another badass classic character
Funny enough, Boba is actually 42 by the time of this show. Tem Morrison is 61...
@@RS-ni3lj whats with all the people trying to kill boba fucking fett with their fists or melee weapons ? Is attacking someone using blasters banned on tatooine ?
The thing that baffles me is that I’ve seen people saying this show has them gripped and on the edge of their seats. I mean you’re free to like what you want but this is far from anything super exciting, people need to not set their standards so low.
Sadly Disney brought the bar all the way to the ground
I mean I feel like Disney holding the license means it's gonna be all pg and no risks, and while rogue one was pretty good I think for Star wars to feel right it needs to be owned by someone else
I'd find it exciting if I was like 80 years old and in a nursing home.
@@goofball1_134 that’s true, and I feel like it’s more apparent in a show based on the criminal underworld…that just can’t work in a PG setting.
@@AndreNitroX On the ground? Disrespectful much? Disney worked really hard digging to the core of the earth to put that bar down.
Jokes aside, after Mandolorian finished up and they announced the Boba show, I knew it was gonna be bad. I could feel it.
When Boba took a beating "Kirk vs Lizard" style, allowed his guard in his healing tank, spared the wookie and then tried to pet a rancor, I really lost my faith in him as a character. He's not an awesome hyper-dangerous mobster we used to know and love. He is a PG rated, elderly softie, a joke of a mobster, and a painfully average fighter altogether. I really hope this is rock bottom and that it's gonna change. Because if it's the actual direction the whole show is going, it's gonna be sequel level bad.
You mean like the original STAR WARS movies?
Of course they want him weak, they want to replace him as soon as possible with his assassin partner who is better in everything. Nothing will change, this is the Disney-Formular.
Mando was more "hard edge" than Boba and that's extremely sad; Mando should be the "soft one" of the two.
That's true, at many point in his own show, Mando had no problem killing anyone who was a danger to Grogu, it's really weird how they seem to be too afraid of making Boba Fett (always portrait as a bad guy in every form of media) actually killing people in cold blood, and he's suppose to be a Crime boss ???
Boba's father Jango was a badass, used many of his awesome weapons like the Flamethrower, Rocket Missile, had his badass dual wielded blasters, poisonous darts, so much more, every clone was Jango but meant to follow any orders given to them, Boba is also a clone but modified to be just like any other human being, no rapid growth/ageing.
There was this PS2 game called the Bounty Hunter that you play as Jango and it's a story that happens before Star Wars 2 and how Jango got to take part in the whole cloning program, not sure if it's canon but to me it is, one of the best games I ever played.
One of the greatest star wars games ever. A true gem that definitely deserves a remaster
If you read the comics of both Jango and Boba it makes this show even more unforgivable. Jango for a short time was mandolore the ultimate and Boba nearly become the ultimate. They took down so many opponents that I could see jedi get wrecked from . There is zero reason anything that went wrong went wrong . This is why canon is something I don't count as a actual thing . Because it's a excuse when you out stuff from canon to say oh that never happned .and yes that game is awesome and not canon which is why I say the use of the word canon is a excuse company's use to only make things count when convenient . If people like this show that's fine more power to them . I just don't see this show turning around its 3 episodes in and he's done almost nothing combat wise this whole 3 episodes.
i played it on gamecube as a kid, and yeah that game fucking slapped! a remaster would be oh so nice
Boba loses nearly every fight in this show. He always ends up been saved by someone else. What a joke from his EU counterpart
@@Wodro they released it on ps4 upscaled a little bit . I would love to see a full blown remastered from ground up treatment .
What would've been really cool in the first episode is if when boba Fett was attacked, he flies up and burns all the assassin's. One survives but is badly burned. So boba signals to the guards to get the badly burned assassin to that healing tank thing. Then some exposition untill the assassin is able to be revived enough to talk. Boom. Hundred times better already.
The stomach acid of the sarlacc didn't just soften Boba's skin, but also his heart
The acid gave Boba brain damage😂
I think he suffered brain damage when the Tusken raiders knocked him out.
@@RS-ni3lj the jawas hit him pretty hard when they took his armor too
It burned off his balls.
I can't believe how quickly my opinion of this show has changed. I *loved* the last two episodes, and I was confident that Jon Favreau understood Star Wars fans fully. But this episode felt like a return to the dark days of the sequel trilogy. The CW biker gang was awful in every conceivable way, and Boba is being completely defanged -- dare I say humiliated. I hope this is just a bump in the road and that next week's episode is great, but right now I'm concerned.
yeah same for me, hoping episode 4 calm me down
Remember, favreau isn’t the sole director. A lot of this episode felt like Robert Rodriguez’s influence more so for the worst.
@@brian.jrmontoya3227 favreau hasn’t directed an episode yet
This is absolutely NOT sequel trilogy territory. Maybe prequels. The concepts here were fine, even if people don't like the execution.
@@me2olive exactly
I’m so glad they turned Boba Fett into a joke. Was worried they’d turn him into a crime boss or something..
I'm still hit and miss on this series. I get that Fett is on a different journey now after his near death experience post-sarlacc. But, it's getting too far from his core character when he takes lip from street punks without some sort of rebuke to correct their ways. "No disintegrations" as Vader had once said, implying that Boba didn't play around.
The vespas looked too clean and too much like team Voltron or the Power Rangers for my taste, and they moved too slowly. Lucas always made it a point to make Star Wars vehicles move very fast.
Danny Trejo bringing in a new rancor was awesome, though. However, being that this is on Disney, we'll probably never get to see it do anything but be a big puppy dog.
Only because it has bugged me for years - I always heard "No disintegrations" aimed at ALL of the bounty hunters, Vader just says it to Boba because they have an established relationship so it makes for good theatre. I never actually believed that Boba Fett would have ever tried to collect a bounty on a disintegrated corpse, didn't seem to fit with the "competent bounty hunter" vibe.
@@jollyrayda He was telling all of them he wanted them alive, and told Fett specifically no disintegrations, implying he'd done that before.
Im curious, how TF did they keep their Vespa's so clean on Tatooine.
Its literally breaking my brain. They must wash them every 5 minutes.
@@MrMrTravman With the water that's too expensive.
I think the vespas would have looked fine.... on Nar Shaddaa!
Also, Vader killed, no, slaughtered the entire Hutt council not too long ago, so the Hutts are weakened at the moment. They are certainly not picking a fight with Leia and the New Republic.
Yeah, it would have looked far more natural in the urban city type areas lmfao
When that's the case, that the Hutts are in a weakened state, then maybe that's something they should have mentioned in the Book of Boba Fett. I hate when movies or TV-Shows don't tell you such crucial information for the story. You can't expect everyone to have watched and/or read every important sorce material. The understandability of a story should be measured by the information given within the story.
The vespas look like they belong in Spaceballs. I couldnt believe that this was done seriously.
I completely agree. If Boba went off planet to Coruscant to deal with the the twins & happen to run into these guys & brought them to Tatooine.... that would've worked waaaaay better. Either Nar Shadaa or Coruscant would've been perfect. These guys definitely don't belong on Tatooine.
Would make sense to be owned like some snooty little rich fuck from that casino planet and to never been seen beyond maybe 3 seconds in the background parked somewhere near a bar
I know we're only 3 episodes in, but I'm gonna be a bit cynical and say this series will be an afterthought in the end for most fans. The tone of the series is all wrong and it's not something you can fix with a few more episodes. The overall concept is solid, but Boba should have been written more like an underworld mob boss as that's the role he's attempting to fill, not some benevolent usurper who wants to solve everybody's problems. Mandalorian borrowed influences from spaghetti westerns, this show should have borrowed from everyone's favorite mafia films.
I didn’t even know it was possible to have a lame biker gang. When they said this “gang” used cybernetics to upgrade themselves that was not what I imagined. Who tf gives themself a extendo boot? Why didn’t Boba chase them with his Jet Pack
Go go gadget Stampy stilleto 🤣🤣😭
Does it REALLY matter how the gang looks, or how their bikes look? I just saw it as Boba recruiting people to work for him. He isn't stupid and is just going to take one person's word for things. He's going to check things out first before making a final decision on the matter. As for not chasing the majordomo, the kids had the faster bikes. Boba didn't. Seemed simple enough to me.
He didn’t use the jet pack in the episode where he was surrounded by those guys with energy shields either. I don’t think it works, or they don’t want to put the jet pack effect into the budget
@@samhunt3835 this is exactly what I was thinking bout it. When did Star Wars turned into inspector gadget?
I imagined bikers similar to the ones he fought, not back 2 the future cyber punks
I agree that the "Spy Kids" would fit better outside that Dex's Diner from Attack of the Clones, so yeah they have no place on this show in terms of design
Also the Boba vs Wookie fight made him look like Frank from It's Always Sunny in Philedelphia
"I'mmmmmm PUREEEEE" lol liked ur reference, I also thought the same
"Can I offer you this egg in these trying times🥚?"
@@z6316 Bacta is hand sanitizer confirmed??
I saw someone said he looked like Joe Rogan fighting the wookie after an ice cold bath lmao
You can tell Robert Rodriguez directed this because there were certain shots with the cyber kids that had the same style as spykids 😂 it threw me off guard and lost me
I think what annoys me the most with this series is how, again, they try to cater to "modern audiences" instead of actual Star Wars fans. Lucas's universe is vast, yes, but it has lore-built rules, so to speak. The "Teenage Cyber-Bikers from Outer Space" is just as slap-in-the-face as turning one of the most feared Bounty Hunters in the galaxy into some would-be benevolent crime lord.
Dulling the edge of Boba Fett is like giving your teenage kids plastic scissors because you're afraid they'll cut themselves otherwise.
The cyberpunk kids could have worked on another planet like Courascant
@@batalorian7997 this. Or nar shaddaa. Or any other heavily industrial big city planet. But not tatooine
Yeah, cyberpunk was a garbage game and the least we need is more gen Z, short attention spamming content for casuals that don't care about star wars after a day.
I’d have to seriously disagree with the sentiment of lore built rules. It’s one of the reasons why Red Letter Media was so spot on with their opinion that anyone who does new Star Wars is fucked, cause Star Wars is just aesthetic. At St! Lightsaber! Stormtrooper!!
@@DeathMetalThrasher cyberpunk the game doesn't have anything to do with those characters. Not even an inspiration. Cyberpunk genre has been around for decades and cyborgs have also been in Star Wars before. The problem is that those characters are a bit out of place and their prosthetics were kind of useless. The writing was also bad
The book of Boba Fett is coming off like a kids show. Campy action, no real life or death stakes, basic bubble gum @#$&. What a waste! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I am genuinely worried for the kenobi show, I feel like it's gonna be "disneyfied", I get that it's a different director but these things got approved somehow
"I have a bad feeling about this."
@@30aragon I sense a great disturbance in the force a plot to destroy obi wan
I suspect Kenobi will be fine because Obi-Wan's not an anti-hero. Disney only knows how to write Captain America-style full paragon heroes, which suits model jedi Obi-Wan just fine.
Obi-Wan is their only hope.
Wookie: Amazing. Rancor: Amazing. Boba Fett: Always great. Vespa Scooter Cyberpunk Power Ranger gang?: God no why please how could this happen?!?!?
God dammit I knew people were going to be pissed off about that smh this is my favorite episode
The Wookiee who failed to kill an unarmed, sleeping man and also forgot to bring any lethal weapons to his assassination attempt.
@@Vahig7 Pssst hey guess what?
You are allowed your opinion, you can like this just fine
Just allow OTHER people to do the same too
If they don't like it, allow them that freedom just like you have yours to like something
Wookie: Incompetent
Rancor: a Depressed Rancor really? I guess this was coming after good guys Tusken Raiders.
Power Rangers... i don't even at this point, btw they can afford mods and shinny new scooters but not water?
Bruh, how can you miss something so obvious, the power ranger vespas are going to combine and turn into an equippable megazord armor, which Boba's pet Rancor will equip, while Boba rides the megazord rancor on the streets of Mos Espa to assert dominance.
Yeah, definitely had some really weird vibes from this episode and the show overall until now. The vespa spy kids this episode are the pinnacle. I figured "this whole show so far feels kinda weird, I hope Rodriguez endgame is for it to fit and make sense." We don't know yet where he's going with all this, so hopefully it'll all be fine in the final episode. I'm afraid it won't tho. :/
The cyberpunk-aspect: ok, that's fine, let's say there are people like this in Star Wars, fits the world.
The four vespas, all different colors, gave me MAJOR spy kids vibes tho ... really don't like this.
Also, the whole setup with these people is flawed: They complain that guy overcharges them for water but HOW MUCH do their vespas and cyberpunk-parts cost? The look like they cost A LOT.
Yeah, and the one guy even says he paid a lot his cyborg eye. It must be specialized work, done when necessary like Luke’s new hand or in extreme situations like General Grievous and Darth Vader.
Espey keeds? Are you insane? These are obviously power rangers, u blind?
@@roque87 Those kids looked so clean, like they just arrived from their cyberpunk game.
I'm trying to figure out how a 7' tall bigfoot in gladiator armor got past everyone without any alarms going off, no one saw him. He got straight to Fett and pulled him out of his lazuras pit jacuzzi. This is not a tight operation Boba has obviously.
Imagine if this was a mob series and the mob boss shows up one episode with four teenagers on color coded tricycles, trying to shake someone down for an outstanding loan
*with attitude
Recruited by zordon fett.
This series feels like the walmart version of The Mandalorian
As soon as I saw the vespa gang the first thought i had was "you are way too clean for tattooine."
Yeh, left a weird taste in my mouth a bit,, those…. Guys that he hired with the the power ranger scooters and the chase scene mainly
