Hope everyone is living happy in this crazy time. Is there any plausible reason why Boba is played by an old man? Let me know in the comments. Did I miss anything? If you enjoyed this video or at least got a laugh, throw it a like. Subscribing and sharing the video is always a big help and will make you look 10 years younger. And hit the bell thing to make sure you don't miss a video. Cheers!
I know a lot of your videos show hate torwards Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, but I actually liked the movie. Honestly I’m not big on movies or Star Wars and I don’t really know what the movies are about in the franchise… this is the only one I’ve ever seen really, but I thought it was a pretty good movie. I liked the cinematography in a lot of areas, and just the unique variety of it all. The different locations and CGI was just incredible, and also the music was outstanding. Do you know if they are they gonna make any more movies? An episode X would be cool to make, it could show us where Rey skywalker is now.
The show has a lot of issues: the biggest is that Boba’s “character development” already happened in the “flashbacks”, and that he begins the show the same way it ended. Literally nothing was accomplished for him.
@@chief5604 Boba in this show: gives his enemies a slight warning Mando in the show: cuts someone in half in his first scene Hmmm…something’s not right here…
Growing up, Boba Fett was one of my favorite characters from anything, and the main reason why I watched EMPIRE STRIKES BACK more than the other films. I had his action figure and his LEGO minifig and the Slave I, and I always made him a badass when I played with my toys. This is not how I imagined Boba Fett lol Was hyped to see him return in Mando, and I honestly like Temuera Morrison as Boba, but this show was so hit and miss. Boba should be cold and deadly, violently taking over Tatooine one gang at a time, with Mando being the nice one.
@@hanburgundy4317 Honestly, another issue is why he just took over a section of Tatooine, and stopped. Jabba the Hutt ruled more than that, he had entire Star systems under his influence. The Obi-Wan show was already going to be 90% on Tatooine, this show (Boba’s show) could have gone to other planets like Nal Hutta, Corellia, or Falleen.
@@MTV2O2O Would have been really cool to see Coruscant especially the lower levels. The criminal underworld is a very interesting part of Star Wars this series missed an opportunity to explore it.
They should make it up to him and give him a Jango Fett series/movie. They can de-age him like they did in Aquaman. Just don’t let Robert Rodriguez anywhere near it. Haha
yea, that ambush in the first episode wasn't the best start really for the badass bounty hunter now crime lord. made him look so weak, he could have used his jetpack and started firing explosives or something than just stand and get poked.
I love that we got Morrison back but like… leave his helmet on… he looks cooler that way and that’s how Boba is shown in every depiction. They proved it worked with Mando, why change it? Also how hard would it be to have him traveling to different planets and hunting the Hutts and Pykes? Would’ve been much better.
The thing is that the Mandalorian series is the show nobody asked. Boba Fett SHOULD have that show. Tbh they just created a Boba 2.0 with the same attributes and a shiny armor instead of that rusty green one. Of course they not gonna make a second star wars series for Boba with the same stuff.
Travelling to different planets? An actual exciting, tense plot, full of twists and turns, starring the galaxy's most feared bounty hunter? Sounds way too ambitious for THIS show...
One thing I remember about seeing Boba Fett for the first time, was that his physique was not bulky. He was rather thin. It made him stick out in comparison to Vader whose height and width was imposing. Vader was a warlord, but Boba was a predator. Hungry and lean, and he carried himself in a way that fit that, being cold and calculating. He spoke only a few words, and when he did it was memorable. He never took off his helmet even when at one of Jabba's parties, and it was better that way. Somehow, this bounty hunter ended up becoming the Bubba Fett of TBOBF. He never wears his helmet, he does nothing but talk and bathe, and the justification for him changing is a near death experience, and spending time with people who refuse to have their faces be seen by others. The idea that Boba had not had any near death experiences at this point is laughable at best. He stared down Vader. Someone willing to do that isn't going to be shaken in their resolve by anything. Instead, he gets out of the pit, collapses in the sand, and spends most of the time throughout the series collapsing or falling asleep.
Never forget that the Tuskans kidnapped and tortured Shmi Skywalker in order to gauge whether the population near them was worth raiding due to an ancient ritual; as the more resilient the person, the less likely that they would have had a good raid and they’ve been doing it for thousands of years. So despite how Disney tries to portray them, they are not sympathetic whatsoever.
Well they can always say the ones in this series were a different tribe with slightly different traditions, just the fact that they were willing to talk to mando and didnt gut the rodian and boba outright says a bit... Edit: changed the 2nd "mando" for boba
This is what we call a person who doesn't understand that just because we see one tribe of an entire race on a planet do something doesn't mean every single member of that race or tribe of that race does the same thing.
@@Dutch_man20 So did the Republic when a Clone didn't want to fight they called them out for Treason despite the fact they didn't have a choice thus are a slave army. Star Wars is a galaxy full of shit people and shit status quos hence why the status quo gets shattered every trilogy.
The clone wars animated series WAS made for 12 year olds and it was infinitely more mature and intelligent and entertaining than this show. Or any Star Wars movie or show Disney has made. Daniel Logan is the PERFECT age to play boba fett right now!
If they cast Logan then you’ll have heaps of whiny fans complaining they didn’t get the original jango fett actor, even if it’d make more sense age wise, Star Wars fans will never be fully satisfied, but that’s the way of things, also clone wars was so damn good and apparently it got to mature and Disney cancelled it, but I’m glad s7 came and was great apart from ep 4-8
7:20 Fun Fact: The guy who killed Franz Ferdinand actually did stop and get lunch while Ferdinand was being driving through town before killing him. Different circumstances, since when he got lunch it was after he had changed his mind about killing him, then re-changed his mind when he saw him driving by, but still interesting. O highly recommend looking the story up.
Some characters just DO NOT work as a main protagonists. The quiet, mysterious, morally dubious, faceless secondary character is kinda hard to follow around for a story. It seems like they felt they had to fundamentally change his character to make him work as the MAIN character. He talks more. He CONSTANTLY takes his helmet off. Even his moral compass changes. Reminds me of what they did with Snake Eyes: the mysterious masked ninja who literally CANNOT speak suddenly talks INCESSANTLY and only covers his face in the last 2 second of the movie 😂
I agree and disagree. It's important to understand when your character isn't interesting enough to carry a story... but then you have to figure if that presence and mystique can be maintained if that character is nonetheless the most consistent and persistent one in the story. Something called "The Book of Boba Fett" doesn't need to follow the flashbacks, rehabilitation, and ins and outs of the character; it can be a collection of shorter stories told from other perspectives, other characters who tangle with Fett on a variety of levels.
crazy thing is, it seems really easy to make him the mysterious boss of some crime organization working from the shadows, if they want him to change from his bounty hunting ways, but sry he has to be a good guy now so no, also he just gets everything gifted for free so we dont have to explain it
The issue is, with good writing, Boba would have been an interesting main character because he wouldn't have followed the good guy plot. However, because disney just knows how to do the same story over and over again, they didn't bother trying something new and making Boba interesting. He had a ton of potential and absolutely zero of it was used.
I had a better solution for the Old Temuera Morrison problem... just don't show his face? The appeal of Boba Fett used to be that you DIDN'T see his face, he was a faceless bounty hunter, a mandalorian, the helmet WAS his identity. Hire a body double, use Temuera as the Voice Actor, and have the character be a recurring villain/anti-hero that pops up in other shows/movies, job done, easy money. But no, they NEEDED a Boba Fett show, because the fans know Boba Fett! But you can't have a kid's show be about a criminal, bounty hunter, murderer, villain, right? So change his personality completely, make him fun and goofy. You also can't have a show about a guy that wears a mask the whole time, can you? *cough* the mandalorian *cough* . So get fat 62 yro Temuera Morrison, have him barely wear the mask, and have awkward fight scenes. Great.
Yeah and that’s exactly what they did for Din in the Mandalorian. Pedro pascal is basically only in the suit when he removes his helmet and the rest of his work is ADR.
*Dengar:* "So, did Cas Yllek get booged out by your Sarlacc scars? Those things will probably never go away. No wonder you never show your face." *Boba Fett:* "This is my face."
I think Disney is doing an amazing job with Star Wars. They are moving SO far apart from the original material that right now it's just their own shitty Disney curated product. That makes me happy because I can just move on with my life and only care about the original 6 movies.
@Kuroppey, I read your first sentence and got mad because I thought you were a Disney shill….then I read your second sentence and realized you subverted expectations harder than a Holdo Maneuver. Nicely done.
lol, I've been thinking this myself of late. The further apart the Disney Universe is from the original EU, the easier it is to distinguish between the two.
I remember when I first saw Boba with his Tusken stick in the Mandalorian, I assumed he must have fought and killed a bunch of Tuskens in the desert after he got out of the sarlac pit and kept the stick as a trophy. Watching Dadbod Fett get slapped around by strong independent Tusken woman who don't need no man is not what I had in mind. I want someone to edit all the scenes of Boba helping the Tuskens in this show together, but every time he helps them and they act happy towards him, it plays the clips of him getting repeatedly beaten by them. Suddenly those moments feel a lot less triumphant now I suspect.
Lol....totally!!! His reviews are WAY more fucking entertaining than the actual show. I've given up on it, haven't even bothered with the last couple of episodes. I would rather count the wrinkles on my bollocks than watch that shite.....I honestly believe I could do a better job at writing than this shit-shower of a show... honestly!!!
Y’all need to calm the fuck down 😂 The issues with the show don’t mean the whole thing sucks Besides let’s be real RH is clearly still on that Sequel-Hate-High...which is understandable I guess but this is miles above the ST
@@harrambou9468 no, it doesn't. it sucks independently of the mentioned issues. mostly because storyline is dumb and characters are totally out of their characters.
This show would’ve been so much better if the show gave us insight into Boba’s life as a bounty hunter during the flashbacks. It would’ve made his redemption feel more earned if we saw him trying to come to grips with his past instead of completely ignoring it. They could’ve even shown the audience how not everyone on Tatooine is ready to accept Boba as a leader due to his history with the empire, all while the remnants of Jabba’s gang are fighting to seize power over Boba’s control.
This show had no intention of being any good. It is a tool for cultural destruction, just like everything else shat out by "woke" wannabe world resetters.
Imagine if they treated him like a futuristic Raymond Reddington (minus Ray's personality). I think that would've worked well for his climb up the ranks as a crime boss
Boba being a clone doesn't explain the age of him being older than he should be. It's stated in Star Wars Episode II that Baba is an unaltered clone, so even if he is a clone, he is basically the most individual clone that was taught/train by Jango Fett thus is almost like the perfect son that Jango wanted.
I’ve brought up he’s a clone before In conversation about it. But not to explain why he looks older, just to point out it would be weird for him to look like a different actor when he’s supposed to be a perfect clone of jango. I would explain the older look the same reason Obiwan in a new Hope looks like he’s in his late 70’s early 80’s when he’s only about 50. He’s been living on the harsh planet of tattooine with its two suns, so he’s aged prematurely.
@@DARTH-R3VAN thought that was implied by the sarlac acid getting inside his helmet and armor, which in turn scarred his head and body. You could make a case to why the bacta tank didn't restore his hair, but maybe the pores were shut or some shit, lol. However, it's Star Wars and you know how Star Wars be.
@@DARTH-R3VAN why did you assume he had hair? Lol . Could he just not decide to be bald? Or since his face was also fucked up maybe the acid from the sarlac permanently fucked up his hair follicles
My biggest issue: Why is Boba such a good guy?? Sure, he isn’t meant to be pure evil, but Boba is meant to be a cold blooded killer… They just made him a pussy.
You guys literally missed the entire point of Boba becoming a Crime Lord didn't you? Did you hear him state he's tired of good bounty hunters like himself, Fennec and hell even Cad Bane dying for idiots who don't know what they're doing half the time.
@befru he doesn’t commit any crimes, he has no illegal operations, he is openly opposed to running spice, and “intends to rule with respect”. Also he has almost no protection and if people attacked him it would ruin his rep and people would doubt how capable he was. He isn’t a crime boss, he is more of a weak leader
@@thomasgordon7344 which still doesn’t make sense because Boba was the one who almost got himself killed. He flew up to a Jedi point blank and got his ass taken out by a blind man. That was completely on him
@@thomasgordon7344 Boba Fett was - as Cad Bane claimed - a cold blooded killer who worked with the Empire. He stood up to Darth Vader, and was cool and calculating. He chose to hang out at Jabba's palace: one of if not the worst places for "bad guys" in the galaxy. He shouldn't be a nice guy, just because he almost died once and then hung out with some sand people.
In the Mandalorian S2 I found the being stuck in an accidy stomach partially excused some of the aging look, because they could just say being inside of the sarlacc had an effect on his body and skin, but when he came out of the bacta tank and it said "you are fully healed", I was like eyebrows and less scaring doesn't cover up that he looks twice the age he should be
The child actor for Boba Fett from Attack of the Clones is about the right age to play a post-ROTJ Boba Fett. Despite the voice, Daniel Logan looks nearly identical to a younger Temuera Morrison. With some of the magic that the studio does with Luke, Boba wouldn’t have been too difficult to replicate
Daniel Logan looks really young though. I saw him at Star Wars celebration, and he just doesn't have the physique to be the 40 year old Boba Fett we seen in the OT.
It's insane that Rian Johnson also directed Ozymandias from Breaking Bad. He spun around the feeling and tone of the show through the edits/cuts, the claustrophobic shots, and much more to make it one of TV's greatest episodes of all time.
I always imagined Manu Bennett would make a great Boba Fett. He's a New Zealander who looks and sounds a lot like the clones, and he's a badass in many of his roles, from Crixus in Spartacus to Deathstroke in Arrow.
Spot on as always! Your reviews are the best ever ever ever. And ever. The best thing about this series is the episodes without Boba Fett. The most legendary bounty hunter is now the least interesting. And he only manages to hire 8 employees in an entire season.
I really wish they had cast Daniel Logan as Boba. The dude has a real passion for his character and he looks like he could have been a clone of Temura while still being his own person.
Disney need people who are there to act, destroy the franchise further and to get payed for it. I am not pointing finger at anyone, i am sure that many who acted had good intentions, but in the end characters they played end up ruined by script. Passionate person would either reject the role or would accept but get in conflict with the script during or after the filming. Wasn't there sparks between Mark Hamill and Disney over what they did with Luke?
Funny enough, I also thought that the whole "filling his helmet with credits" thing was a set up for a double cross, since why the hell would anyone with a shred of importance in Tattoine bow down to the rando that killed off the other rando that took power? But, alas. Genious writing was at play here
@@oXRaptorzXo well, as legit as you can be when we're talking about lines of sucession in a criminal empire. Tho I concede, he was as legit as you could get back then. But Boba really should have given the thing more thought. He wants to be a crime boss so badly, but doesnt know the first thing about it. Might have been better off just working for the guy
@@lordrath9674 well a big part of his motivation is the fact that the hirers are all stupid and screw over the hunters. He’s tired of that and wants to change things. And yeah he’s a bounty hunter, he has no experience as a crime lord, he’s kind of at this point just going all in and hoping for the best
I agree with the statement, however I can't find much fan service in turning one of the most popular characters into a worthless and weak POS. They made Fennec the "skilled" character of the series..... Even more so than a wookie and Din Djarin. I thought Dave filoni and Jon favreau were supposed to save the franchise? 🙄🤦♂️
@@anthonypoole4025 its actually ridiculous how the first fucking thing we see din do in bobas show is act way more badass than boba, he gives his target and cronies a chance to surrender peacefully they don't listen and he fucks them all up, Boba just constantly goes for the pacifist approach until the end where he has no choice, I wanted to freak when fennec kept telling him to walk back when he and cad first meet in the finale and then what does he do he walks back on it only do then do the same suicide mission without fennec so now he's outnumbered even more
That's not fan service, they butchered the character. In contrast, Mandalorian is full of no logic fan service and a constant toy commercial and it worked.
When Boba lost his helmet during the fight with Cad Bane, Cad should have looked at him and said "you're not Boba Fett." Then a flashback of Real Boba being stalked by an old fat Clone Trooper (way past his expire date, kept alive with mods and sleeping in a Bacta tank). Fake Boba get the jump of Real Boba at Jabba's palace, kills him, assumes his identity, then because he is a total dumb-ass falls into the Sarlacc pit in ROTJ.
The problem with Star Wars is that it lost its visionaries. There is no one who has the confidence, competence, or authority to take the series in the bold new directions any franchise has to explore to stay relevant. It is now run by fans, people who enjoyed the series and know it well enough for superficial imitation, but are unable to see the deeper themes and nuances of the series enough to create something more nourishing than fan-service. I'm not convinced that they ever really understood it in a deep way.
Finally someone who gets it. Thats exactly what I am thinking. Lucas was willing to take Star Wars further and let it evolve and infuse it with new live. Lucas talked about the Whills and the micro cosmos and the powers behind the force. Its really what Star Wars needs not driving in circles for the rest of its existence ! How boring !
BUT NOW HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN GETS TO FIGHT EWAN MCGREGOR SO I CAN MAKE A TH-cam VIDEO ABOUT HOW HAPPY I AM THAT HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN GETS TO FIGHT EWAN MCGREGOR.
If only that were all there is to it. Those are not just clueless morons but culture destroyers. And they are going about their crime by destroying cultural icons, re-writing history, and perverting the meaning of cultural concepts precisely as outlined e.g. by George Orwell. Underestimating them as merely inept is playing right into their hands.
@@CleverGirlAAH That's what I thought too, but some disappointing news dropped recently. Hayden's role isn't going to be that big. A different guy is going to do the scenes in the suit, and he'll have a stunt double for the fight scenes. Hayden's only going to appear in flashbacks and bacta tanks. He shot his stuff in 2 weeks.
They easily could’ve casted Daniel Logan, who played young Boba Fett in the Prequels and voiced him in the Clone Wars series and apply makeup/computer FX to make him look like Tem Morrison. They pulled a similar move in the 2012 film Looper starting Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-levitt where Joseph plays a younger version of Bruce. Daniel has already played the role of Boba and is now in his mid 30’s so he’s perfect for the role!
Which is complete BS cause Cad Bane once had a shootout with Boba and it was a draw. Cad shot Boba in the head but his helmet deflected the shot. IDK where Boba shot him. If you look at Boba's helmet you can see the dent. Not sure if it's there in Disney's interpretation.
Bruh Disney is on a character assassination mission. Everybody so much as mentioned in the OT must be degraded and destroyed, whether that means killing them off or just leaving them a husk who’s sole existence is to sell toys and merch.
Have you seen how slow boba is!? Look at him during the assassin fight, he could barley move and when he was he looked constipated through the whole thing.
@@TraceguyRune They could easily have made the fight look good. Its not Tem's fault. That's basically with lots of fights in the show. If Tem did really Well in Mandalorian S2 then why couldn't he in his own show? Blame the screenwriters, not Tem
I just love your intelligent, open minded realistic and funny approach to discussing the issues with the writing of these shows and movies. Everything you say is legit the truth!
I literally had a debate on his age with a friend and he didn’t realize until I broke it down just how recent the book of Boba should have been some weeks ago. He even got it mixed up who was Jango and Boba, I knew something was wrong when I saw an old guy and this is literally the first time anyone mentioned it on YT.
I think Boba taking Jabba’s throne would’ve been cool if he then used it for his own gain. Like whenever I see his armour it just I don’t know looks menacing? Same with Fennic. You know how cool it would’ve been if Boba and Mando were enemies? And fought each other? I don’t know, having a main character that’s evil isn’t like a hard thing to do.
Imagine Disney taking any creative risks with Star Wars. The difference between marvel and Star Wars is that they can be creative and aren’t restricted by reference material like comics. As long as they are consistent with already established canon, I want them to break away from the original trilogy. But they insist on connecting every damn story to the sky walkers with little regard to previously established “rules.” Like wtf was with the dark saber stuff that made no sense
Disney will never again take a creative risk with SW after witnessing the Last Jedi backlash. SW fans have only themselves to blame. They could have said that TLJ was a well-intentioned misstep, but instead they argued that Rian Johnson committed a creative war crime. So, I hope you guys enjoy your lame Kenobi spinoff and Dooku spinoff and Windu spinoff and trash compactor octopus spinoff.
Horrible takes from all of you. I'm a veteran, if you live or experience a rough lifestyle, once you hit 40's it takes a toll. I am 39 almost 40, served two tours in IRAQ, I look mid 50's due to combat stress and mid section injuries. You age like shit in rough professions. Boba regardless of actor was going to look weathered and older. @@MaestroJericho
@@JordoF6 Gotta agree with you. 51 yo and 30 years of high stress jobs (military then cop) have effectively accelerated the aging process in myself. I eat well and exercise but the injuries and mental stress have taken their toll. I have no issues with Boba being played by Temura. The far far bigger issue with the show is the crap writing. Little character development on all fronts. Total lack of tactics in the shootouts. Lame lines by every character. Don’t even get me started on stupid scooter people. Even my eight year old points out these issues.
@@chronica6457 And Boba easily passes as late 40's. He's meant to look aged and older due to the acid burns, what part of that do you not understand? Jango wasn't burned in acid.
Daniel Logan would have made more sense age wise. "But Boba is a clone and his face would look different". Then just do what the OT did, and have him never take off his helmet.
I’m boutta get piled on because this channel is a hive for negativity but… Rogue One, The Clone Wars and Mando are genuinely good and Solo was alright.
Disney has legitimately ruined the Star Wars universe for my kiddos and me. Rogue One is our last fav, which had original characters and scenery to expand on the vast universe as well as explain a tale we holy hear a hint of in the OG trilogy. And honestly, I stopped watching after the first episode as it felt a waste watching Boba acting so timidly. Thanks for the vid, definitely hit points I hadn't looked at and inaccuracies that screw up the story telling.
Yeah Rogue One was legit the only major good thing Disney had done with it. The last season of the clone wars was a decent send off, and the Rebels show….was ok, more for connecting with other characters and stories like Rex, maul, & thrawn
I’m not gonna lie, I was so excited for this show. Was looking more forward to this that anything else I can think of and I held out all the way to the last episode thinking the next would probably blow my mind….. I don’t think I’ll ever be this excited for anything again at this degree and it’s all Disney’s fault
The Hutt litter is slow, but I can somehow ignore the use of speeder levitation tech for a display of power by getting slaves to carry their bloated bodies. What I can't understand is why the sand-people ride around on banthas. I never see the bantas carrying anything heavy, or pushing down a door, or really doing anything but loping through the sand at Wal-Mart shopper speed. Elephants can stampede at a quick run, which is terrifying if you're in their path! We never see a bantha do anything but mosey along without a care in the world for haste. And again, their strength is seemingly meaningless. Banthas are strong enough to presumably wear armor. And they fucking need some! They're gunned down like the barn sized targets they are. A rider sitting on top of one, clearly visible above the dunes, would be a similarly easy target for anyone really. I won't even speculate how much water those things need to drink. I can't see how they're even remotely practical.
That, and never mind their heavy, dark-brown fur (which, looking at real desert animals, seems to be the perfect adaptation to that environment) or those ridiculously huge, heavy horns. I assume they just went for novelty otherworldliness back in the 70s (just like with the cantina patrons) and never asked much for plausibility. Except, of course, if Banthas were nocturnal. For cold, dark desert nights, their fur would make perfect sense, and that would also explain why they're so sluggish during the heat of day. But, again, I'm probably way overthinking this.
They're actually _highly_ valuable creatures. It's a bit of a secret but it's because they produce Spice as a natural byproduct of their metabolism. Without it you cannot navigate though Hyperspace as the tolls are all payed in Spice. And once addicted to it you can't stop taking it or you lose your sense of smell for everything but farts and dead people...
The whole Bantha stuff was copied from the EU. Take it up with George. Also unrelated question but when are we going to get the sequel trilogy? If Disney has time to show what the OT would’ve looked like if it was bad why can’t we get the prequel Yuuzhan Vong war trilogy we all want?
Yeah that bantha thing makes sense, the tuskens are in constantly fighting stuff, they wouldn't want to be riding those slow things unless they are really trying to conserve energy and carry stuff. It's a wonder tuskens haven't been wiped out bc of how dangerous and un-advanced they are. They don't seem useful to anybody in the universe, darth vader may be under the emperor's control but he would at least send a squad of troopers out there to deal with them.
I am a grown ass man with college kids. At the end of the day I can only care so much about any sort of movie series. Nevertheless, it really truly is depressing to see Disney shit all over this product. It was tough enough to deal with Jar Jar Binks at George Lucas‘s own hand, but literally every last thing Disney has done with this property makes me long for the second trilogy. And certainly the fact that Jon Favreau is affiliated with this is certainly nothing to be proud of. He should’ve pulled out once the script and casting turned out this way. As for the shrinking universe, that is so spot on. I am sick of seeing Star Wars in the desert. And I’m even more sick of people applauding it and watching it and raving about it. People that rightly Savage other movie products because they actually have critical thinking and know what they are talking about, seem to completely lose it when it comes to Star Wars. The Mandalorian had its charms. It had a little bit of dirty western feel to it that was better than anything the post Lucas team had produced. But all of that is lost in the book of Boba Fett. The awesome part is that it’s so bad that it’s virtually eliminated the collectibility of newer high-end Lego Star Wars sets. If that doesn’t tell you something, I don’t know what does.
Luke wanted to leave Tatooine for a reason. Yet Disney apparently can't get off the planet for more than a few minutes before freaking out and coming back.
A moment please to appreciate that this was the man who called out Mando from day one when everyone else (hyperbole people, I’m not meaning literally everyone) said it was fine. Glad to see you kept strong.
Sooo true. RH has balls of solid steel. He was completely ostracised by fellow SW TH-camrs when he called out Mando. You're the only one who has noticed, respect!
@@kirstenb1913 it did easily if you didn’t nitpick every little detail (and it’s still pretty good if you did). I just binged all of RHs mando videos and they are 75% nitpicking, 20% invalid arguments, and 5% valid arguments
For me, the recent live action shows weren't that suspenseful compared to something like the Clone Wars. The book of Boba Fett has only been as good as the worst filler episodes of the Mandalorian. Hopefully the Obi-Wan series is alot better
You really have hope for Kenobi lmao? They couldn't even get the grand inquisitor to look right. Even the marks on his forehead and his eyes aren't the right color
They should have made the show animation. They have excellent animated cinematic at Lucas Arts. Just see the amazing new trailer for the Old republic Malgus video. Looks real. Plus it creates endless possibilities for characters.
I see Star Wars games and roll my eyes. Too much flipping and power level fluctuations... "Destroy the machine" the girl leaps into it with a lightsaber, a moment later the same guy just waves his hand and INSTANTLY obliterates it. What was stopping him from doing that before? That crap is still just as inconsistent. 🧐🤷♂
@Newsbender I agree. Boba isnt a main character, never was. Hes not even the main character in the show lol. People only started caring and even crying in sheer joy when they saw Mando, Grogu, Luke and Ahsoka. Hell they even cheered more for a BD unity than Boba lol
@@CleverGirlAAH You gotta watch the old trailers mate… SWTOR lore and optics-wise has lost its way completely since Disney/EA influence crept in further. I never liked the last few expansions and they added goofy Kylo Ren sabers an stuff. There’s like 3 proper old trailers, one on a space station, one with some troopers in a battle on Alderaan, one in the Jedi temple .
A lot of these points are what I’ve been complaining about - one of the first dumb thing I made a point to bring up was the fact The Hutts took 5 years to come for Boba’s territory, but now I see that it’s all legit….they started out 5 years ago several towns over but since they took that Ali Babba mode of transportation they’ve just arrived ! 💩
They should have had the guy who played Boba in the prequels, Daniel Logan, he'd look more believable in action scenes, he's closer in age to Boba in the show, and fans would appreciate the prequel connection. Temura is great but he's not in fighting shape.
Wait wait wait 5 years?? Where the fuck did 5 years come from? Did boba spend 5 years in the sarlac pit or did he spend 5 years with the tuskans? Where the hell did 5 years come from lmfao? I'd heard 5 years before but I thought that was a joke...
@@kurtrivero368 that makes sence 100 percent. The book of boba fett being set 5 years after is the problem. Did boba spend 5 years in the sarlac pit or did he spend 5 years with the tuskans? Because what we are shown looks more like 2 weeks max let alone 5 years.
I wasn't really a fan of the show. But a lot of Boba's changes make sense if you come from the perspective that he was totally and utterly done with being a Bounty Hunter prior to falling down the sarlacc pit, and didn't even want to return to that life, even if he could. Prior to the Tuskens, there's a good chance Boba was entirely self-centered in the sense he never cared about anyone else but himself. So outside of his dad, the Tuskens are the first time he's felt like he has any sense of family or belonging, even if it is flawed. This is what grows into him wanting to look after "his people" as it changes him. However, I think a big problem with this show is, in regards to the flashback is that there is no sense of the passage of time. To the viewer it really does feel like this happens over the span of like... a few weeks maybe? It's so drastic and sudden that it feels jarring. I was shocked to find out it was intended to be five years. FIVE YEARS. Nothing in the show gives any indication it was that long. So his change of personality over 5 years would make more sense. So it comes down to I suppose, poor writing and time management in what they prioritized showing. Heck, even just having a "young" looking Boba for the initial flashbacks would have helped show the passage of time. So I'm actually ok with Boba "going soft". However, I still have a ton of issues with the show. Being "soft" isn't the same as being incompetent. And Boba frankly comes off as an idiot for most of this show. Unable to do anything well. He can't fight well for most of it, can't negotiate, can't even operate his own ship properly, needs help opening a door, it goes on and on. It's for this reason I actually thought episode 2 was the best episode. Because it attempted to show WHY Boba is different and his intended transformation, it's pretty much the only episode which felt like something meaningful actually happened.
I loved Episode 2. Yea, him taking off the helmet on screen is annoying, let alone out in the f**king open, but aside from that, the footage with the Tusken tribe was 👌 and yea, the fight against the gang was probably the best hand-to-hand 👌
The only reference to his frustration was Episode 4. But in the totality of the story, it doesn't feel like a turning point for Boba's story, especially in the backs of the revenge for the Tusken's murder. It needed far more fleshing out than vague flashbacks to Kamino, or the Stockholm-ish relationship with his Tusken captors-turned-tribesman. It's why the flashbacks are actually the stronger plot than the present day plot, in spite of the frustrating sparks of a decent story. But that's not saying much praise.
It's been a while I enjoyed your fantastic bashing. This one hits the damn thing perfectly, very well made like the best works of you. Keep them coming.
My biggest question was why did Boba totally forget ab han, luke, leia, chewy, etc. Why did he not mention the people who sent him to the sarlacc pit in the first place w no desire for any revenge or closure at all?
I like that they brought back the Original actor tough. I dont think he‘s too old. After clonewars and rebels, its nice to see him in person again. They just need to tell him how to use a blaster properbly
I'm happy you like it but he is not really the original actor. And he is literally too old for the character. A younger Māori actor could have brought some excitement to the role👍
@@RobotHead true they could have used a younger mãori👍🏽 you even showed an actor who really looks like him. And you are so right that he def needs to calm his face down!😂😂😳😳😳😂
Thank you!!! I've been saying he was too old and a bit too chubby since the first episode... I didn't know he was supposed to be around 36yrs old though... makes it worse! 😅 Good few laugh out loud moments in this video too!
Brilliant, mate. Hope you make it to 1M soon. Love your editing, pacing, and story build-up. HA you'd think with unlimited funds at their disposal, Disney could at least connect two episodes of a show together concisely. Maybe they should all sit down and take a class from the Robot's Head, eh? 👏👌
I get wanting the recognizable voice for boba but couldn't they of kept the orginal actor for voice work but then got someone else to play the body. It's what Lucas orginally did for Vadar and Maul.
I have a picture from Star Wars the force unleashed 2 where Boba is literally 10 feet from Vader setting the perimeters on chasing down Star Killer while surveying damage done by the fallen sith clone. It is 4 times more bad ass than ANYTHING this show had to give.
It's not the years Honey - it's the mileage. Seriously, though, the real problem is A) the way the character is written (Fett has little agency of his own fate.) and B) Temuera Morrison is just not that compelling an actor. He was fine in AOTC, but he also had maybe a half dozen lines and didn't have to carry an entire show. Never un-mask your character unless you have to... especially when the mask is what defines the character.
I love Temuera Morrison, but he should not have played Boba Fett in this show. He should've done the voice, but that's it. The fact that Boba's physicality and age (i guess) was so different compared to Episode 6 kinda killed the show for me. :/
It really didn’t bother me, granted even if he was fat and 100 years old it wouldn’t be the worst part about the show. I mean if Lucas had worked with Drew Karpishym (spelling?) etc to come up with a proper Boba show or movie I guarantee we’d all just handwave the fact that Temuera hasn’t been in Star Wars for a gap 1/3 as long as his age…
I’ve been asking why the fuck is every star wars movie on tattooine, like it’s literally the worst fucking planet in star wars, it’s cool, but it’s literally the sahara desert lol bro we have seen enough of it. Same goes for this era, like you said why tf does star wars not delve into the hundreds of incredible stories included in legends
Here’s how I would have structured a Boba Fett show’s first episode: Yes I know you don’t care, but neither does Disney and at this point you could pick someone off the street to write a better show than these highly payed writers. Let’s use Disney’s chosen character arc of Boba becoming a more moral person, but let’s actually give a shit. Episode 1: The Exile We’re in Cloud City, following Boba as he tracks down Han. He runs into IG 88, (also hunting Han) in the bowels of the Bespin forges and kills it in a heated battle where we get to see him as a ruthless bounty hunter willing to kill other hunters to secure his pay check. It would also work with how the Mandalorian has set up IG models as formidable killing machines, to have boba just cap one off as a cold opener. We see him talk to Vader, where we get some dialogue on how Vader prefers the work of clones to other soldiers (hinting back to his days with the 501st), this would make a great crucible for the beginning of his character arc, since Boba wouldn’t like being compared to a clone because he sees himself as an individual. He then flies to Jabba’s palace with Hans carbonated body where we meet other bounty hunters and most importantly, Boba’s favourite boss. Here we can get some great dialogue between Jabba and Boba about how long Han and Bobas rivalry has been going on, and how Jabba’s best smuggler has been caught by his best hunter. Now we’ve seen Boba hunt and deliver his bounty, it’s time to see how he relaxes. And what better place to do that than the hedonistic Jabba’s palace. He flirts with a Twi’Lek who muses that he should take off his helmet, he refuses because he’s on Tatooine and not a total idiot. In this moment we can set up rival bounty hunters after his spot, who side-eye Boba. He retires to Slave 1 and receives a message from Vader; a new bounty has come in, the target is a Jedi who escaped order 66 and is living in exile on an outer rim planet. The rest of the episode follows Boba tracking the exiled Jedi, maybe with a flashback sequence to Geonisis where we’re reminded of Boba’s hatred of Jedi. He finds him hunting a creature for food in a jungle and follows him back to his home. He enters while the exiled Jedi sleeps and prepares to assassinate him, sensing him, the Jedi force pushes him into a wall and charges him. Boba uses his grapple wire to wrap around the Jedi’s legs and trip him up, sending his lightsaber clattering to the ground, he then shoots the lightsaber multiple times. The Jedi watches in complete dismay and realises the fights basically over at this point. Just before Boba is about to light his ass up with his flame thrower he hears a second saber turn on behind him, it’s a young Padawan. The Jedi screams, “NO MALIK! RUN!” before being shot point blank in the head by Boba, who then turns to face the Padawan. The Padawan screams out in despair and attacks wildly, close quarters and lightsabers don’t mix well so he uses his rocket to shoot a hole in the ceiling and jet packs through it, from the air he drops multiple grenades down the hole and blows the shack to kingdom come. For the final shot, the padawan crawls out of the ruins and reaches up to Boba, mirroring the final shot of the Mandalorian where Grogu reaches out from his crib, Boba shoots him and walks back to his ship. This tells the audience one thing. Boba is not the Mandalorian. He is not a hero. He is an anti Hero. The first episode plays to his ruthless nature and begins his journey to morality in a vastly different way to the show. The killing of the Jedi is reflected back on by Boba in later episodes as not so different from the killing of his own father, and this regret is what will lead him to seek redemption. If anyone bothered to read this thanks! I’m on day 6 of sitting in a hospital bed with a collapsed lung so this was really fun and gave me something to do :)
The Jedi in your story seem a bit incompetent, but other than that I really liked your mix of nostalgia and setting Boba up for change! Sounds way more natural to me to show him as we last saw him (ruthless bounty hunter lone wolf type) to slowly become sth different. Vader liking clones more is also spot on, nice detail.
@@DasBaumable thanks man! Now I’m thinking harder about it Boba could have a conversation with the Jedi that parallels Obi wans conversation with Jango, something akin to “Rumour has it you’re a Jedi” “Im just a man trying to make his way in the galaxy” Since Star Wars is all about flipping the script every movie. To have a Mandalorian questioning a Jedi would be a classic parallel to Obi wan questioning Jango, and it would enforce the regret Boba later feels for killing the padawan
Thank you for perfectly encapsulating everything wrong with the Sequel Trilogy and these brainless spin-offs. I'm just praying Obi-Wan is on-par with Rogue One and Solo and not more smoking hot garbage. I find it truly appalling that Disney aren't groveling for Gareth Edwards to come back and fix their mess.
Those shock sticks appear to be like agonizers from Star Trek. Not meant to kill but meant to inflict pain. Sigh. Also, The writing on this show clearly reflects the far lower quality of writers output from schools in the modern age. Agenda trumps all.
OMG THIS WAS SOOOOO GOOD! And THANK YOU for mentioning Rey falling for Kylo and how INSANE that was when she saw him literally murder, in front of her face, everyone who was kind to her - and then she repays their deaths by wanting to get with Kylo Ren??? AND THEN WOKESTERS THINK THIS IS THE FEMALE HERO WE ALL NEEDED???? How did they have the amazing ability to skip the part she ran straight into the arms of the abuser? How? For all the “we want equality - you are threatened by strong independent women” garbage, how did they skip the part that Rey didn’t go for the black guy who ditched the darkside - no, we went for the white dude who was a mass murderer? LUKE had a REASON to try to turn Vader - THAT was his FATHER. Kylo had ZERO relationship to Rey. ZERO. Even if the emperor was cultivating some mind meld date rape brain control formula, we all witness Rey, the most powerful untrained Jedi in the universe, get ‘dickwhipped’ by a temper tantrum whacko freak genocide monger. So she ain’t no Wonder Woman - she’s literally Leni Riefenstahl! Would sort of make sense since the Nazi director propaganda films for Hitler literally became the sound and visual basis for Star Wars and even Indiana Jones. So - Rey, the Nazi lover, makes sense. But you know, if you don’t love her you’re a misogynist.
Great video as always. Glad someone knows Disney is just churning out garbage because people will pay for it. I was hoping you'd mention the ridiculous train scene more. The mirror reflecting the sun was entirely stupid to me when you could see the train very easily and it came from the same direction as last time. You can also tell by the dune shadows in the back that the suns were behind the kid with the mirror. There was literally nothing for him to reflect.
It baffles me when anyone, including myself, tries to question a story but are immediately called out for daring to do so. Why are so many people happy to have shit entertainment?
Because Disney and Star Wars have become a cult. (And I’m not even sure if that’s an exaggerated statement.) They’ve put so much personal and emotional investment in Star Wars they see an attack on it as an attack on themselves. Not to mention critical thinking has fallen out of favor in recent years. Easier to just turn your brain off and ingest corporate slop.
Daniel Logan should have been Boba Fett he's 34 years old just seven years younger than Fett. Since they always change characters back stories in the same Disney Star Wars universe, they could've retconned Boba's story that the Kaminos actually did alter his DNA to look different than Jango but didn't give him the aging acceleration programming. Where have I heard that story before???? That's right! It was the Bad Batch with Omega. All these failed Filoni characters like Din and Omega are given Boba's backstory. If the production and storytelling is this pathetic, then make Boba's shows about him and the Bounty Hunters from Empire. Though Kathleen Kennedy would disagree, there are tons of pre-2012 Boba stories they could have used. I don't care about one character on Boba's show. If they die I don't have to worry because, "No one's ever really gone"... I'm referring to you Cad Bane. Ugh!
It could be an unavoidable effect of just being a Clone despite the skill of the Kaminoans + The Sarlac Pit for 7 years. But he does seem a bit older than he’s ought to be at the time. Edit: Someone mentioned the Sarlac Pit he was in for 7 years. Might be that.
If you want an excuse to explain his age, you could say that the Sarlacc pit took a toll on his body. ... except that the bacta tank therapy is supposed to have healed him.
Well I appreciate that Disney hire the original actor, but there's should be a compromise for recast when the actor/actress isn't suitable for the role
Hope everyone is living happy in this crazy time. Is there any plausible reason why Boba is played by an old man? Let me know in the comments. Did I miss anything?
If you enjoyed this video or at least got a laugh, throw it a like. Subscribing and sharing the video is always a big help and will make you look 10 years younger.
And hit the bell thing to make sure you don't miss a video. Cheers!
Making boba take off his mask in this tv series was the worst mistake Disney made.
I know a lot of your videos show hate torwards Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, but I actually liked the movie. Honestly I’m not big on movies or Star Wars and I don’t really know what the movies are about in the franchise… this is the only one I’ve ever seen really, but I thought it was a pretty good movie. I liked the cinematography in a lot of areas, and just the unique variety of it all. The different locations and CGI was just incredible, and also the music was outstanding. Do you know if they are they gonna make any more movies? An episode X would be cool to make, it could show us where Rey skywalker is now.
Oi prick, I hope you’re feeling better and going well. Love ya mate, cheers from Adelaide ❤️
You are spot on as usual Robot…you and the a lot of others didn’t miss a thing
@@nolsee1176 Doing well buddy!
For those who say "boba is a clone, his aging is faster"
It isn't. Jango made sure he ages normally
Yes, the clone troops were genetically altered to age quickly, among other things they didn't discuss much. Boba was an unaltered, pure clone.
These are the new fans saying this. The ones who love Disney Wars not Star Wars
@@dr.bright6272You know it.
Yeah but who's to say the time he spent in the Sarlaac didn't make him wrinkle up like a raisin?
The show has a lot of issues: the biggest is that Boba’s “character development” already happened in the “flashbacks”, and that he begins the show the same way it ended. Literally nothing was accomplished for him.
Honestly, my main problem is that Mandalorian acts like how I would imagine Boba Fett. And Boba acts like how I would imagine Mando
@@chief5604 Boba in this show: gives his enemies a slight warning
Mando in the show: cuts someone in half in his first scene
Hmmm…something’s not right here…
Growing up, Boba Fett was one of my favorite characters from anything, and the main reason why I watched EMPIRE STRIKES BACK more than the other films. I had his action figure and his LEGO minifig and the Slave I, and I always made him a badass when I played with my toys. This is not how I imagined Boba Fett lol
Was hyped to see him return in Mando, and I honestly like Temuera Morrison as Boba, but this show was so hit and miss. Boba should be cold and deadly, violently taking over Tatooine one gang at a time, with Mando being the nice one.
@@hanburgundy4317 Honestly, another issue is why he just took over a section of Tatooine, and stopped. Jabba the Hutt ruled more than that, he had entire Star systems under his influence. The Obi-Wan show was already going to be 90% on Tatooine, this show (Boba’s show) could have gone to other planets like Nal Hutta, Corellia, or Falleen.
@@MTV2O2O Would have been really cool to see Coruscant especially the lower levels. The criminal underworld is a very interesting part of Star Wars this series missed an opportunity to explore it.
I feel really sorry for Temuera Morrison, he was so exited to get a chance to play boba again only for his character to get turned into a joke
They should make it up to him and give him a Jango Fett series/movie. They can de-age him like they did in Aquaman. Just don’t let Robert Rodriguez anywhere near it. Haha
He would have been better off reprising his role in a fan made production. At least he would have been given the respect he deserved.
yea, that ambush in the first episode wasn't the best start really for the badass bounty hunter now crime lord. made him look so weak, he could have used his jetpack and started firing explosives or something than just stand and get poked.
@@j_k1tch363
Or just roast em all with his flamethrower.
He was always a joke. Jango and the whole clone army ret-con was stupid from day one.
I love that we got Morrison back but like… leave his helmet on… he looks cooler that way and that’s how Boba is shown in every depiction. They proved it worked with Mando, why change it? Also how hard would it be to have him traveling to different planets and hunting the Hutts and Pykes? Would’ve been much better.
The thing is that the Mandalorian series is the show nobody asked. Boba Fett SHOULD have that show. Tbh they just created a Boba 2.0 with the same attributes and a shiny armor instead of that rusty green one. Of course they not gonna make a second star wars series for Boba with the same stuff.
What is called the movie at 2:30 ???
@@kovblaz1763 yeah that’s fair. Still, I wish they would. I’d watch 20 seasons.
Travelling to different planets? An actual exciting, tense plot, full of twists and turns, starring the galaxy's most feared bounty hunter? Sounds way too ambitious for THIS show...
A show about Boba going around being ruthless and hunting bounties would have been the perfect Boba Fett show.
One thing I remember about seeing Boba Fett for the first time, was that his physique was not bulky. He was rather thin. It made him stick out in comparison to Vader whose height and width was imposing. Vader was a warlord, but Boba was a predator. Hungry and lean, and he carried himself in a way that fit that, being cold and calculating. He spoke only a few words, and when he did it was memorable. He never took off his helmet even when at one of Jabba's parties, and it was better that way.
Somehow, this bounty hunter ended up becoming the Bubba Fett of TBOBF. He never wears his helmet, he does nothing but talk and bathe, and the justification for him changing is a near death experience, and spending time with people who refuse to have their faces be seen by others.
The idea that Boba had not had any near death experiences at this point is laughable at best. He stared down Vader. Someone willing to do that isn't going to be shaken in their resolve by anything. Instead, he gets out of the pit, collapses in the sand, and spends most of the time throughout the series collapsing or falling asleep.
exactly. He changed so much, all in the span of about 5 years.
Laughable.
That's because he was played by a skinny British man
@@connorbaz5980 5 years is plenty of time to change.

Again 5 years is PLENTY of time to change your point of view on your life.
Never forget that the Tuskans kidnapped and tortured Shmi Skywalker in order to gauge whether the population near them was worth raiding due to an ancient ritual; as the more resilient the person, the less likely that they would have had a good raid and they’ve been doing it for thousands of years.
So despite how Disney tries to portray them, they are not sympathetic whatsoever.
Well they can always say the ones in this series were a different tribe with slightly different traditions, just the fact that they were willing to talk to mando and didnt gut the rodian and boba outright says a bit...
Edit: changed the 2nd "mando" for boba

The clone wars animated series WAS made for 12 year olds and it was infinitely more mature and intelligent and entertaining than this show. Or any Star Wars movie or show Disney has made. Daniel Logan is the PERFECT age to play boba fett right now!
A good story made for kids should also appeal to adults. Since those kids will one day become adults.
Temuera Morrison Is fine...y’all are just LOOKING for reasons to complain just because there’s a couple of real reasons
If they cast Logan then you’ll have heaps of whiny fans complaining they didn’t get the original jango fett actor, even if it’d make more sense age wise, Star Wars fans will never be fully satisfied, but that’s the way of things, also clone wars was so damn good and apparently it got to mature and Disney cancelled it, but I’m glad s7 came and was great apart from ep 4-8

7:20 Fun Fact: The guy who killed Franz Ferdinand actually did stop and get lunch while Ferdinand was being driving through town before killing him. Different circumstances, since when he got lunch it was after he had changed his mind about killing him, then re-changed his mind when he saw him driving by, but still interesting. O highly recommend looking the story up.
Some characters just DO NOT work as a main protagonists. The quiet, mysterious, morally dubious, faceless secondary character is kinda hard to follow around for a story. It seems like they felt they had to fundamentally change his character to make him work as the MAIN character. He talks more. He CONSTANTLY takes his helmet off. Even his moral compass changes. Reminds me of what they did with Snake Eyes: the mysterious masked ninja who literally CANNOT speak suddenly talks INCESSANTLY and only covers his face in the last 2 second of the movie 😂
Mando is a watered down version of Boba.
I agree and disagree. It's important to understand when your character isn't interesting enough to carry a story... but then you have to figure if that presence and mystique can be maintained if that character is nonetheless the most consistent and persistent one in the story. Something called "The Book of Boba Fett" doesn't need to follow the flashbacks, rehabilitation, and ins and outs of the character; it can be a collection of shorter stories told from other perspectives, other characters who tangle with Fett on a variety of levels.
crazy thing is, it seems really easy to make him the mysterious boss of some crime organization working from the shadows, if they want him to change from his bounty hunting ways, but sry he has to be a good guy now so no, also he just gets everything gifted for free so we dont have to explain it
The issue is, with good writing, Boba would have been an interesting main character because he wouldn't have followed the good guy plot. However, because disney just knows how to do the same story over and over again, they didn't bother trying something new and making Boba interesting. He had a ton of potential and absolutely zero of it was used.
Vader used to be the mysterious, morally dubious, faceless secondary character. Tarkin was the main antagonist in A New Hope so very long ago.
I had a better solution for the Old Temuera Morrison problem... just don't show his face?
The appeal of Boba Fett used to be that you DIDN'T see his face, he was a faceless bounty hunter, a mandalorian, the helmet WAS his identity. Hire a body double, use Temuera as the Voice Actor, and have the character be a recurring villain/anti-hero that pops up in other shows/movies, job done, easy money. But no, they NEEDED a Boba Fett show, because the fans know Boba Fett! But you can't have a kid's show be about a criminal, bounty hunter, murderer, villain, right? So change his personality completely, make him fun and goofy. You also can't have a show about a guy that wears a mask the whole time, can you? *cough* the mandalorian *cough* . So get fat 62 yro Temuera Morrison, have him barely wear the mask, and have awkward fight scenes. Great.
that's a good point, the helmet looks cool as well why not keep it on.
Yeah and that’s exactly what they did for Din in the Mandalorian. Pedro pascal is basically only in the suit when he removes his helmet and the rest of his work is ADR.
Temuera even wanted to talk less and stay mysterious, but Favreu didn't care.
*Dengar:* "So, did Cas Yllek get booged out by your Sarlacc scars? Those things will probably never go away. No wonder you never show your face."
*Boba Fett:* "This is my face."
You are 100%. In one comic Boba Fett even says "this IS my face." when he is talking about his helmet
I think Disney is doing an amazing job with Star Wars. They are moving SO far apart from the original material that right now it's just their own shitty Disney curated product. That makes me happy because I can just move on with my life and only care about the original 6 movies.

@@eliaspeter7689 yes
Thing is. He could've just done the voiceovers and they find a stuntman to play the part. As long as he DOESN'T TAKE OFF THE MASK!
I remember when I first saw Boba with his Tusken stick in the Mandalorian, I assumed he must have fought and killed a bunch of Tuskens in the desert after he got out of the sarlac pit and kept the stick as a trophy. Watching Dadbod Fett get slapped around by strong independent Tusken woman who don't need no man is not what I had in mind. I want someone to edit all the scenes of Boba helping the Tuskens in this show together, but every time he helps them and they act happy towards him, it plays the clips of him getting repeatedly beaten by them. Suddenly those moments feel a lot less triumphant now I suspect.
At this point I'm more excited to see Robot Head talk about how bad this show is over new episodes

This show would’ve been so much better if the show gave us insight into Boba’s life as a bounty hunter during the flashbacks. It would’ve made his redemption feel more earned if we saw him trying to come to grips with his past instead of completely ignoring it. They could’ve even shown the audience how not everyone on Tatooine is ready to accept Boba as a leader due to his history with the empire, all while the remnants of Jabba’s gang are fighting to seize power over Boba’s control.
If it’s go for the second season that’s what they might be waiting for
This show had no intention of being any good. It is a tool for cultural destruction, just like everything else shat out by "woke" wannabe world resetters.
I don't like how everyone has a redemption. Just make Boba an antihero and not say much while Fennec does the negotiating.
Imagine if they treated him like a futuristic Raymond Reddington (minus Ray's personality). I think that would've worked well for his climb up the ranks as a crime boss

Boba being a clone doesn't explain the age of him being older than he should be.
It's stated in Star Wars Episode II that Baba is an unaltered clone, so even if he is a clone, he is basically the most individual clone that was taught/train by Jango Fett thus is almost like the perfect son that Jango wanted.
Yes, Temuera colud play one of the clones in Empire era. Rex, for example.
I’ve brought up he’s a clone before In conversation about it. But not to explain why he looks older, just to point out it would be weird for him to look like a different actor when he’s supposed to be a perfect clone of jango. I would explain the older look the same reason Obiwan in a new Hope looks like he’s in his late 70’s early 80’s when he’s only about 50. He’s been living on the harsh planet of tattooine with its two suns, so he’s aged prematurely.

At the end of Mandalorian I was very excited to see Boba as a crime lord but instead we got this good guy who chills with a evil tribe
My biggest issue: Why is Boba such a good guy?? Sure, he isn’t meant to be pure evil, but Boba is meant to be a cold blooded killer… They just made him a pussy.
He says that he wants to be a crime boss but I don't remember him doing any crimes. In fact, He seems to be completely opposed to crime.
You guys literally missed the entire point of Boba becoming a Crime Lord didn't you? Did you hear him state he's tired of good bounty hunters like himself, Fennec and hell even Cad Bane dying for idiots who don't know what they're doing half the time.
@befru he doesn’t commit any crimes, he has no illegal operations, he is openly opposed to running spice, and “intends to rule with respect”. Also he has almost no protection and if people attacked him it would ruin his rep and people would doubt how capable he was. He isn’t a crime boss, he is more of a weak leader
@@thomasgordon7344 which still doesn’t make sense because Boba was the one who almost got himself killed. He flew up to a Jedi point blank and got his ass taken out by a blind man. That was completely on him
@@thomasgordon7344
Boba Fett was - as Cad Bane claimed - a cold blooded killer who worked with the Empire. He stood up to Darth Vader, and was cool and calculating. He chose to hang out at Jabba's palace: one of if not the worst places for "bad guys" in the galaxy.
He shouldn't be a nice guy, just because he almost died once and then hung out with some sand people.
I still think Daniel Logan (young Boba in the prequels) should've reprise his role and have Temura Morrison play the surviving clones
Nah, Logan enjoys Darth Maul’s wifes tuna taco 🌮 too much
But he would look nothing like jango, remember he is a clone
And keep the helmet on.

What is called the movie at 2:30 ???
The soundtrack of episode 7 is amazing. It has emotional Lyrics like "BOBA, BOBA, BOBA FETT", amazing creativity
In the Mandalorian S2 I found the being stuck in an accidy stomach partially excused some of the aging look, because they could just say being inside of the sarlacc had an effect on his body and skin, but when he came out of the bacta tank and it said "you are fully healed", I was like eyebrows and less scaring doesn't cover up that he looks twice the age he should be
The child actor for Boba Fett from Attack of the Clones is about the right age to play a post-ROTJ Boba Fett. Despite the voice, Daniel Logan looks nearly identical to a younger Temuera Morrison. With some of the magic that the studio does with Luke, Boba wouldn’t have been too difficult to replicate
No thanks.

Daniel Logan looks really young though. I saw him at Star Wars celebration, and he just doesn't have the physique to be the 40 year old Boba Fett we seen in the OT.

Thank god you had Robot before the word head 😂
Phrasing
Hold up wait a minute
Agreed agreed. What a treat ❤️❤️❤️
That hillbilly analogy was spot on and hillarious. "Stayed because they taught you how to arm-wresle" hahahaha
It's insane that Rian Johnson also directed Ozymandias from Breaking Bad.
He spun around the feeling and tone of the show through the edits/cuts, the claustrophobic shots, and much more to make it one of TV's greatest episodes of all time.
I always imagined Manu Bennett would make a great Boba Fett. He's a New Zealander who looks and sounds a lot like the clones, and he's a badass in many of his roles, from Crixus in Spartacus to Deathstroke in Arrow.
Manu Bennet isn't young either.
They waited 5 years to claim the territory because that's how long it took them to get there while being carried on that stupid platform.
To get from the airport to there lol
Spot on as always! Your reviews are the best ever ever ever. And ever.
The best thing about this series is the episodes without Boba Fett. The most legendary bounty hunter is now the least interesting. And he only manages to hire 8 employees in an entire season.
I really wish they had cast Daniel Logan as Boba. The dude has a real passion for his character and he looks like he could have been a clone of Temura while still being his own person.
Facts man.
Should have just deepfaked Tems younger looks onto someone else's body and used his voice again to portray Boba.
yeah he would of been perfect
Disney need people who are there to act, destroy the franchise further and to get payed for it. I am not pointing finger at anyone, i am sure that many who acted had good intentions, but in the end characters they played end up ruined by script. Passionate person would either reject the role or would accept but get in conflict with the script during or after the filming. Wasn't there sparks between Mark Hamill and Disney over what they did with Luke?
Funny enough, I also thought that the whole "filling his helmet with credits" thing was a set up for a double cross, since why the hell would anyone with a shred of importance in Tattoine bow down to the rando that killed off the other rando that took power? But, alas. Genious writing was at play here
Fortuna wasn’t a random lol. He was the legitimate ruler at the time
@@oXRaptorzXo well, as legit as you can be when we're talking about lines of sucession in a criminal empire. Tho I concede, he was as legit as you could get back then. But Boba really should have given the thing more thought. He wants to be a crime boss so badly, but doesnt know the first thing about it. Might have been better off just working for the guy
@@lordrath9674 well a big part of his motivation is the fact that the hirers are all stupid and screw over the hunters. He’s tired of that and wants to change things. And yeah he’s a bounty hunter, he has no experience as a crime lord, he’s kind of at this point just going all in and hoping for the best
My favorite part of the video is when that guy drinking beer running from cops did a no hands superman into the ground. Great stuff!
Disney doesnt care about logic, they care about Fan Service 💪
I agree with the statement, however I can't find much fan service in turning one of the most popular characters into a worthless and weak POS. They made Fennec the "skilled" character of the series..... Even more so than a wookie and Din Djarin. I thought Dave filoni and Jon favreau were supposed to save the franchise? 🙄🤦♂️
@@anthonypoole4025 its actually ridiculous how the first fucking thing we see din do in bobas show is act way more badass than boba, he gives his target and cronies a chance to surrender peacefully they don't listen and he fucks them all up,
Boba just constantly goes for the pacifist approach until the end where he has no choice, I wanted to freak when fennec kept telling him to walk back when he and cad first meet in the finale and then what does he do he walks back on it only do then do the same suicide mission without fennec so now he's outnumbered even more
@@chrisquinn3377 right?! The only episodes that were somewhat entertaining were the ones that didn't contain Boba Fett...... And it's his show!!!
@@anthonypoole4025 well you thought wrong lol
That's not fan service, they butchered the character. In contrast, Mandalorian is full of no logic fan service and a constant toy commercial and it worked.
When Boba lost his helmet during the fight with Cad Bane, Cad should have looked at him and said "you're not Boba Fett." Then a flashback of Real Boba being stalked by an old fat Clone Trooper (way past his expire date, kept alive with mods and sleeping in a Bacta tank). Fake Boba get the jump of Real Boba at Jabba's palace, kills him, assumes his identity, then because he is a total dumb-ass falls into the Sarlacc pit in ROTJ.
What?
An acceptable plot twist actually l0l
"You're not Peter Parker".
LOL WTF?
@@Insider887 Idiot, it's from No Way Home. Doc Oct says it to Tom Holland's Spiderman
The problem with Star Wars is that it lost its visionaries. There is no one who has the confidence, competence, or authority to take the series in the bold new directions any franchise has to explore to stay relevant. It is now run by fans, people who enjoyed the series and know it well enough for superficial imitation, but are unable to see the deeper themes and nuances of the series enough to create something more nourishing than fan-service. I'm not convinced that they ever really understood it in a deep way.
Finally someone who gets it.
Thats exactly what I am thinking. Lucas was willing to take Star Wars further and let it evolve and infuse it with new live. Lucas talked about the Whills and the micro cosmos and the powers behind the force. Its really what Star Wars needs not driving in circles for the rest of its existence ! How boring !
BUT NOW HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN GETS TO FIGHT EWAN MCGREGOR SO I CAN MAKE A TH-cam VIDEO ABOUT HOW HAPPY I AM THAT HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN GETS TO FIGHT EWAN MCGREGOR.
If only that were all there is to it. Those are not just clueless morons but culture destroyers. And they are going about their crime by destroying cultural icons, re-writing history, and perverting the meaning of cultural concepts precisely as outlined e.g. by George Orwell. Underestimating them as merely inept is playing right into their hands.
@@CleverGirlAAH That's what I thought too, but some disappointing news dropped recently. Hayden's role isn't going to be that big. A different guy is going to do the scenes in the suit, and he'll have a stunt double for the fight scenes. Hayden's only going to appear in flashbacks and bacta tanks. He shot his stuff in 2 weeks.
And guys that are happy to be complacent if it means they get to keep their jobs.
The Critical Drinker said it best, "Who is this confused old man cosplaying as Boba Fett?"
The greatest question ever asked.
I love that he has to show off his new teeth in like every single shot of this show that he is in.
They easily could’ve casted Daniel Logan, who played young Boba Fett in the Prequels and voiced him in the Clone Wars series and apply makeup/computer FX to make him look like Tem Morrison.
They pulled a similar move in the 2012 film Looper starting Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-levitt where Joseph plays a younger version of Bruce.
Daniel has already played the role of Boba and is now in his mid 30’s so he’s perfect for the role!
Missed opportunities everywhere
Great disservice to Daniel.
I wanted to love this show so much! The only good thing that happened was Cade Bane…..but then they killed him…. Why does Disney hate us?
Which is complete BS cause Cad Bane once had a shootout with Boba and it was a draw. Cad shot Boba in the head but his helmet deflected the shot. IDK where Boba shot him. If you look at Boba's helmet you can see the dent. Not sure if it's there in Disney's interpretation.
Nobody ever dies in Disney Star Wars. When a character dies, that's like running your IP through a shredder, i.e. burning money.
Bruh Disney is on a character assassination mission. Everybody so much as mentioned in the OT must be degraded and destroyed, whether that means killing them off or just leaving them a husk who’s sole existence is to sell toys and merch.
@@AImighty_Loaf it’s there. This is a rematch and boba won
Have you seen how slow boba is!? Look at him during the assassin fight, he could barley move and when he was he looked constipated through the whole thing.
That's because of the writers, not Tem
@@astralchaos3441 The writers made him look constipated? No. That was his acting.
@@TraceguyRune They could easily have made the fight look good. Its not Tem's fault. That's basically with lots of fights in the show. If Tem did really Well in Mandalorian S2 then why couldn't he in his own show? Blame the screenwriters, not Tem
I just love your intelligent, open minded realistic and funny approach to discussing the issues with the writing of these shows and movies. Everything you say is legit the truth!
I literally had a debate on his age with a friend and he didn’t realize until I broke it down just how recent the book of Boba should have been some weeks ago. He even got it mixed up who was Jango and Boba, I knew something was wrong when I saw an old guy and this is literally the first time anyone mentioned it on YT.
I think Boba taking Jabba’s throne would’ve been cool if he then used it for his own gain. Like whenever I see his armour it just I don’t know looks menacing? Same with Fennic. You know how cool it would’ve been if Boba and Mando were enemies? And fought each other? I don’t know, having a main character that’s evil isn’t like a hard thing to do.
It worked for Michael Corleone.
Imagine Disney taking any creative risks with Star Wars. The difference between marvel and Star Wars is that they can be creative and aren’t restricted by reference material like comics. As long as they are consistent with already established canon, I want them to break away from the original trilogy. But they insist on connecting every damn story to the sky walkers with little regard to previously established “rules.” Like wtf was with the dark saber stuff that made no sense
Actually there are plenty of comics, I’m not sure if there is much on boba after the Sarlac but they really don’t try too hard.
Disney will never again take a creative risk with SW after witnessing the Last Jedi backlash. SW fans have only themselves to blame. They could have said that TLJ was a well-intentioned misstep, but instead they argued that Rian Johnson committed a creative war crime. So, I hope you guys enjoy your lame Kenobi spinoff and Dooku spinoff and Windu spinoff and trash compactor octopus spinoff.

Horrible takes from all of you. I'm a veteran, if you live or experience a rough lifestyle, once you hit 40's it takes a toll. I am 39 almost 40, served two tours in IRAQ, I look mid 50's due to combat stress and mid section injuries. You age like shit in rough professions.

@@JordoF6 Gotta agree with you. 51 yo and 30 years of high stress jobs (military then cop) have effectively accelerated the aging process in myself. I eat well and exercise but the injuries and mental stress have taken their toll.
I have no issues with Boba being played by Temura. The far far bigger issue with the show is the crap writing. Little character development on all fronts. Total lack of tactics in the shootouts. Lame lines by every character. Don’t even get me started on stupid scooter people. Even my eight year old points out these issues.
@@JordoF6 Star Wars is not the real world though. Jango was in his 40s and he looked as such, and his life was probably as rough as Boba's
@@chronica6457 And Boba easily passes as late 40's. He's meant to look aged and older due to the acid burns, what part of that do you not understand? Jango wasn't burned in acid.
Man, that washing machine bit had me dying! Quality content as always.
Daniel Logan would have made more sense age wise. "But Boba is a clone and his face would look different". Then just do what the OT did, and have him never take off his helmet.

@@arnoldgreen4278 agreed but this new bobf sucks
@@arnoldgreen4278 I agree. Those 3 are great but the rest is disappointing
Disney has legitimately ruined the Star Wars universe for my kiddos and me. Rogue One is our last fav, which had original characters and scenery to expand on the vast universe as well as explain a tale we holy hear a hint of in the OG trilogy.
And honestly, I stopped watching after the first episode as it felt a waste watching Boba acting so timidly. Thanks for the vid, definitely hit points I hadn't looked at and inaccuracies that screw up the story telling.
Yeah Rogue One was legit the only major good thing Disney had done with it. The last season of the clone wars was a decent send off, and the Rebels show….was ok, more for connecting with other characters and stories like Rex, maul, & thrawn

Was looking more forward to this that anything else I can think of and I held out all the way to the last episode thinking the next would probably blow my mind….. I don’t think I’ll ever be this excited for anything again at this degree and it’s all Disney’s fault
Reminded me how class “The Last Samurai” was. Going to go watch it again.
“The Last Samurai” is shit. Always has been. Pedantic Tom Cruise drivel, and I like Cruise.
The Hutt litter is slow, but I can somehow ignore the use of speeder levitation tech for a display of power by getting slaves to carry their bloated bodies. What I can't understand is why the sand-people ride around on banthas. I never see the bantas carrying anything heavy, or pushing down a door, or really doing anything but loping through the sand at Wal-Mart shopper speed. Elephants can stampede at a quick run, which is terrifying if you're in their path! We never see a bantha do anything but mosey along without a care in the world for haste. And again, their strength is seemingly meaningless. Banthas are strong enough to presumably wear armor. And they fucking need some! They're gunned down like the barn sized targets they are. A rider sitting on top of one, clearly visible above the dunes, would be a similarly easy target for anyone really. I won't even speculate how much water those things need to drink. I can't see how they're even remotely practical.
That, and never mind their heavy, dark-brown fur (which, looking at real desert animals, seems to be the perfect adaptation to that environment) or those ridiculously huge, heavy horns. I assume they just went for novelty otherworldliness back in the 70s (just like with the cantina patrons) and never asked much for plausibility. Except, of course, if Banthas were nocturnal. For cold, dark desert nights, their fur would make perfect sense, and that would also explain why they're so sluggish during the heat of day. But, again, I'm probably way overthinking this.
They're actually _highly_ valuable creatures. It's a bit of a secret but it's because they produce Spice as a natural byproduct of their metabolism. Without it you cannot navigate though Hyperspace as the tolls are all payed in Spice. And once addicted to it you can't stop taking it or you lose your sense of smell for everything but farts and dead people...
The whole Bantha stuff was copied from the EU. Take it up with George. Also unrelated question but when are we going to get the sequel trilogy? If Disney has time to show what the OT would’ve looked like if it was bad why can’t we get the prequel Yuuzhan Vong war trilogy we all want?
In the desert, people ride camels. Pretty sure those are no different.
Yeah that bantha thing makes sense, the tuskens are in constantly fighting stuff, they wouldn't want to be riding those slow things unless they are really trying to conserve energy and carry stuff. It's a wonder tuskens haven't been wiped out bc of how dangerous and un-advanced they are. They don't seem useful to anybody in the universe, darth vader may be under the emperor's control but he would at least send a squad of troopers out there to deal with them.
I am a grown ass man with college kids. At the end of the day I can only care so much about any sort of movie series. Nevertheless, it really truly is depressing to see Disney shit all over this product. It was tough enough to deal with Jar Jar Binks at George Lucas‘s own hand, but literally every last thing Disney has done with this property makes me long for the second trilogy.
And certainly the fact that Jon Favreau is affiliated with this is certainly nothing to be proud of. He should’ve pulled out once the script and casting turned out this way.
As for the shrinking universe, that is so spot on. I am sick of seeing Star Wars in the desert. And I’m even more sick of people applauding it and watching it and raving about it. People that rightly Savage other movie products because they actually have critical thinking and know what they are talking about, seem to completely lose it when it comes to Star Wars.
The Mandalorian had its charms. It had a little bit of dirty western feel to it that was better than anything the post Lucas team had produced.
But all of that is lost in the book of Boba Fett.
The awesome part is that it’s so bad that it’s virtually eliminated the collectibility of newer high-end Lego Star Wars sets. If that doesn’t tell you something, I don’t know what does.
Luke wanted to leave Tatooine for a reason. Yet Disney apparently can't get off the planet for more than a few minutes before freaking out and coming back.
The mayor’s bodyguards are most efficient killers than the actual assassins xD

@@CleverGirlAAH You gotta watch the old trailers mate… SWTOR lore and optics-wise has lost its way completely since Disney/EA influence crept in further. I never liked the last few expansions and they added goofy Kylo Ren sabers an stuff.
There’s like 3 proper old trailers, one on a space station, one with some troopers in a battle on Alderaan, one in the Jedi temple .
A lot of these points are what I’ve been complaining about - one of the first dumb thing I made a point to bring up was the fact The Hutts took 5 years to come for Boba’s territory, but now I see that it’s all legit….they started out 5 years ago several towns over but since they took that Ali Babba mode of transportation they’ve just arrived ! 💩
It’s because bib fortuna was the legitimate ruler. But once he died the hutts came.
The greatest joy modern Disney has given me is all the videos rightfully dunking on them.
Temuera Morrison's age is the least of the character's problems. The twin suns would make him look older.
Daniel Logan, the guy who played kid Boba Fett in attack of the clones, is the right age. He should have played Boba.
They should have had the guy who played Boba in the prequels, Daniel Logan, he'd look more believable in action scenes, he's closer in age to Boba in the show, and fans would appreciate the prequel connection. Temura is great but he's not in fighting shape.

Awesome vid Robot Head. Keep it up man.
Wait wait wait 5 years?? Where the fuck did 5 years come from? Did boba spend 5 years in the sarlac pit or did he spend 5 years with the tuskans? Where the hell did 5 years come from lmfao?
I'd heard 5 years before but I thought that was a joke...
The beginning of The Mandalorian takes place 5 years after the end of Return of the Jedi. How do you or any other fan not know this by now?
@@kurtrivero368 that makes sence 100 percent. The book of boba fett being set 5 years after is the problem. Did boba spend 5 years in the sarlac pit or did he spend 5 years with the tuskans? Because what we are shown looks more like 2 weeks max let alone 5 years.
I wasn't really a fan of the show. But a lot of Boba's changes make sense if you come from the perspective that he was totally and utterly done with being a Bounty Hunter prior to falling down the sarlacc pit, and didn't even want to return to that life, even if he could. Prior to the Tuskens, there's a good chance Boba was entirely self-centered in the sense he never cared about anyone else but himself. So outside of his dad, the Tuskens are the first time he's felt like he has any sense of family or belonging, even if it is flawed. This is what grows into him wanting to look after "his people" as it changes him.
However, I think a big problem with this show is, in regards to the flashback is that there is no sense of the passage of time. To the viewer it really does feel like this happens over the span of like... a few weeks maybe? It's so drastic and sudden that it feels jarring. I was shocked to find out it was intended to be five years. FIVE YEARS. Nothing in the show gives any indication it was that long. So his change of personality over 5 years would make more sense. So it comes down to I suppose, poor writing and time management in what they prioritized showing. Heck, even just having a "young" looking Boba for the initial flashbacks would have helped show the passage of time.
So I'm actually ok with Boba "going soft". However, I still have a ton of issues with the show. Being "soft" isn't the same as being incompetent. And Boba frankly comes off as an idiot for most of this show. Unable to do anything well. He can't fight well for most of it, can't negotiate, can't even operate his own ship properly, needs help opening a door, it goes on and on. It's for this reason I actually thought episode 2 was the best episode. Because it attempted to show WHY Boba is different and his intended transformation, it's pretty much the only episode which felt like something meaningful actually happened.
I loved Episode 2. Yea, him taking off the helmet on screen is annoying, let alone out in the f**king open, but aside from that, the footage with the Tusken tribe was 👌 and yea, the fight against the gang was probably the best hand-to-hand 👌
You've done more thinking than the crew at Lucasfilms has, don't settle for mediocrity
Exactly where it is stated that he was tired of being a bounty hunter by Episode VI? He was barely even a character in OT.
The only reference to his frustration was Episode 4. But in the totality of the story, it doesn't feel like a turning point for Boba's story, especially in the backs of the revenge for the Tusken's murder. It needed far more fleshing out than vague flashbacks to Kamino, or the Stockholm-ish relationship with his Tusken captors-turned-tribesman. It's why the flashbacks are actually the stronger plot than the present day plot, in spite of the frustrating sparks of a decent story. But that's not saying much praise.
It's been a while I enjoyed your fantastic bashing. This one hits the damn thing perfectly, very well made like the best works of you. Keep them coming.
My biggest question was why did Boba totally forget ab han, luke, leia, chewy, etc. Why did he not mention the people who sent him to the sarlacc pit in the first place w no desire for any revenge or closure at all?
I like that they brought back the Original actor tough. I dont think he‘s too old. After clonewars and rebels, its nice to see him in person again. They just need to tell him how to use a blaster properbly
I'm happy you like it but he is not really the original actor. And he is literally too old for the character. A younger Māori actor could have brought some excitement to the role👍
@@RobotHead true they could have used a younger mãori👍🏽 you even showed an actor who really looks like him. And you are so right that he def needs to calm his face down!😂😂😳😳😳😂

Brilliant, mate. Hope you make it to 1M soon. Love your editing, pacing, and story build-up. HA you'd think with unlimited funds at their disposal, Disney could at least connect two episodes of a show together concisely. Maybe they should all sit down and take a class from the Robot's Head, eh? 👏👌
I get wanting the recognizable voice for boba but couldn't they of kept the orginal actor for voice work but then got someone else to play the body. It's what Lucas orginally did for Vadar and Maul.
I have a picture from Star Wars the force unleashed 2 where Boba is literally 10 feet from Vader setting the perimeters on chasing down Star Killer while surveying damage done by the fallen sith clone. It is 4 times more bad ass than ANYTHING this show had to give.
It wouldn't have been that noticeable if he wore his damn helmet.
It's not the years Honey - it's the mileage.
Seriously, though, the real problem is A) the way the character is written (Fett has little agency of his own fate.) and B) Temuera Morrison is just not that compelling an actor. He was fine in AOTC, but he also had maybe a half dozen lines and didn't have to carry an entire show.
Never un-mask your character unless you have to... especially when the mask is what defines the character.
I love Temuera Morrison, but he should not have played Boba Fett in this show. He should've done the voice, but that's it. The fact that Boba's physicality and age (i guess) was so different compared to Episode 6 kinda killed the show for me. :/
It really didn’t bother me, granted even if he was fat and 100 years old it wouldn’t be the worst part about the show. I mean if Lucas had worked with Drew Karpishym (spelling?) etc to come up with a proper Boba show or movie I guarantee we’d all just handwave the fact that Temuera hasn’t been in Star Wars for a gap 1/3 as long as his age…
Disney really destroyed the Star Wars saga ....
For a uncharted planet all the well known characters like to visit it often.
I’ve been asking why the fuck is every star wars movie on tattooine, like it’s literally the worst fucking planet in star wars, it’s cool, but it’s literally the sahara desert lol bro we have seen enough of it. Same goes for this era, like you said why tf does star wars not delve into the hundreds of incredible stories included in legends
Here’s how I would have structured a Boba Fett show’s first episode:
Yes I know you don’t care, but neither does Disney and at this point you could pick someone off the street to write a better show than these highly payed writers.
Let’s use Disney’s chosen character arc of Boba becoming a more moral person, but let’s actually give a shit.
Episode 1: The Exile
We’re in Cloud City, following Boba as he tracks down Han. He runs into IG 88, (also hunting Han) in the bowels of the Bespin forges and kills it in a heated battle where we get to see him as a ruthless bounty hunter willing to kill other hunters to secure his pay check. It would also work with how the Mandalorian has set up IG models as formidable killing machines, to have boba just cap one off as a cold opener.
We see him talk to Vader, where we get some dialogue on how Vader prefers the work of clones to other soldiers (hinting back to his days with the 501st), this would make a great crucible for the beginning of his character arc, since Boba wouldn’t like being compared to a clone because he sees himself as an individual.
He then flies to Jabba’s palace with Hans carbonated body where we meet other bounty hunters and most importantly, Boba’s favourite boss.
Here we can get some great dialogue between Jabba and Boba about how long Han and Bobas rivalry has been going on, and how Jabba’s best smuggler has been caught by his best hunter.
Now we’ve seen Boba hunt and deliver his bounty, it’s time to see how he relaxes. And what better place to do that than the hedonistic Jabba’s palace.
He flirts with a Twi’Lek who muses that he should take off his helmet, he refuses because he’s on Tatooine and not a total idiot. In this moment we can set up rival bounty hunters after his spot, who side-eye Boba.
He retires to Slave 1 and receives a message from Vader; a new bounty has come in, the target is a Jedi who escaped order 66 and is living in exile on an outer rim planet.
The rest of the episode follows Boba tracking the exiled Jedi, maybe with a flashback sequence to Geonisis where we’re reminded of Boba’s hatred of Jedi.
He finds him hunting a creature for food in a jungle and follows him back to his home.
He enters while the exiled Jedi sleeps and prepares to assassinate him, sensing him, the Jedi force pushes him into a wall and charges him. Boba uses his grapple wire to wrap around the Jedi’s legs and trip him up, sending his lightsaber clattering to the ground, he then shoots the lightsaber multiple times. The Jedi watches in complete dismay and realises the fights basically over at this point. Just before Boba is about to light his ass up with his flame thrower he hears a second saber turn on behind him, it’s a young Padawan.
The Jedi screams, “NO MALIK! RUN!” before being shot point blank in the head by Boba, who then turns to face the Padawan. The Padawan screams out in despair and attacks wildly, close quarters and lightsabers don’t mix well so he uses his rocket to shoot a hole in the ceiling and jet packs through it, from the air he drops multiple grenades down the hole and blows the shack to kingdom come.
For the final shot, the padawan crawls out of the ruins and reaches up to Boba, mirroring the final shot of the Mandalorian where Grogu reaches out from his crib, Boba shoots him and walks back to his ship.
This tells the audience one thing. Boba is not the Mandalorian. He is not a hero. He is an anti Hero. The first episode plays to his ruthless nature and begins his journey to morality in a vastly different way to the show. The killing of the Jedi is reflected back on by Boba in later episodes as not so different from the killing of his own father, and this regret is what will lead him to seek redemption.
If anyone bothered to read this thanks! I’m on day 6 of sitting in a hospital bed with a collapsed lung so this was really fun and gave me something to do :)
The Jedi in your story seem a bit incompetent, but other than that I really liked your mix of nostalgia and setting Boba up for change! Sounds way more natural to me to show him as we last saw him (ruthless bounty hunter lone wolf type) to slowly become sth different. Vader liking clones more is also spot on, nice detail.
@@DasBaumable thanks man! Now I’m thinking harder about it Boba could have a conversation with the Jedi that parallels Obi wans conversation with Jango, something akin to
“Rumour has it you’re a Jedi”
“Im just a man trying to make his way in the galaxy”
Since Star Wars is all about flipping the script every movie. To have a Mandalorian questioning a Jedi would be a classic parallel to Obi wan questioning Jango, and it would enforce the regret Boba later feels for killing the padawan
Cool with him killing a Jedi. Not sure about the Padawan though. Might be too dark for an “antihero”
@@Goat-t3d Anakin slaughters a room full of padawans and he’s literally the protagonist of star wars
Thank you for perfectly encapsulating everything wrong with the Sequel Trilogy and these brainless spin-offs. I'm just praying Obi-Wan is on-par with Rogue One and Solo and not more smoking hot garbage. I find it truly appalling that Disney aren't groveling for Gareth Edwards to come back and fix their mess.
Those shock sticks appear to be like agonizers from Star Trek. Not meant to kill but meant to inflict pain. Sigh. Also, The writing on this show clearly reflects the far lower quality of writers output from schools in the modern age. Agenda trumps all.
2:43 - Uhhh…did homeboy just swallow that whole bottle?? Bahahaha 😂 🤣 😂 🤦♂️
When the tuscans were massacred I had no idea it was evern his tribe other than the one kids stick he trhough on the fire at the end of the scene
OMG THIS WAS SOOOOO GOOD! And THANK YOU for mentioning Rey falling for Kylo and how INSANE that was when she saw him literally murder, in front of her face, everyone who was kind to her - and then she repays their deaths by wanting to get with Kylo Ren??? AND THEN WOKESTERS THINK THIS IS THE FEMALE HERO WE ALL NEEDED???? How did they have the amazing ability to skip the part she ran straight into the arms of the abuser? How? For all the “we want equality - you are threatened by strong independent women” garbage, how did they skip the part that Rey didn’t go for the black guy who ditched the darkside - no, we went for the white dude who was a mass murderer? LUKE had a REASON to try to turn Vader - THAT was his FATHER. Kylo had ZERO relationship to Rey. ZERO. Even if the emperor was cultivating some mind meld date rape brain control formula, we all witness Rey, the most powerful untrained Jedi in the universe, get ‘dickwhipped’ by a temper tantrum whacko freak genocide monger. So she ain’t no Wonder Woman - she’s literally Leni Riefenstahl! Would sort of make sense since the Nazi director propaganda films for Hitler literally became the sound and visual basis for Star Wars and even Indiana Jones. So - Rey, the Nazi lover, makes sense. But you know, if you don’t love her you’re a misogynist.
Great video as always. Glad someone knows Disney is just churning out garbage because people will pay for it. I was hoping you'd mention the ridiculous train scene more. The mirror reflecting the sun was entirely stupid to me when you could see the train very easily and it came from the same direction as last time. You can also tell by the dune shadows in the back that the suns were behind the kid with the mirror. There was literally nothing for him to reflect.
It baffles me when anyone, including myself, tries to question a story but are immediately called out for daring to do so. Why are so many people happy to have shit entertainment?
Because the same media corporations are telling you to like it, so the defenders have to love it to feel like they are doing the right thing.
Because they don't want to think. It can be exhausting to watch something bad and know it is bad.
Because Disney and Star Wars have become a cult. (And I’m not even sure if that’s an exaggerated statement.) They’ve put so much personal and emotional investment in Star Wars they see an attack on it as an attack on themselves. Not to mention critical thinking has fallen out of favor in recent years. Easier to just turn your brain off and ingest corporate slop.
flashing picture good. He hit bad guy with glowy stick. Girl boss say comeback. Me like flashing picture.
Oh My God I love that "Monkey Magic," Journey to the West show. It's pure fun. So shocked to see it mentioned.
Monkey Magic is indeed glorious.
Daniel Logan should have been Boba Fett he's 34 years old just seven years younger than Fett. Since they always change characters back stories in the same Disney Star Wars universe, they could've retconned Boba's story that the Kaminos actually did alter his DNA to look different than Jango but didn't give him the aging acceleration programming. Where have I heard that story before???? That's right! It was the Bad Batch with Omega. All these failed Filoni characters like Din and Omega are given Boba's backstory.
If the production and storytelling is this pathetic, then make Boba's shows about him and the Bounty Hunters from Empire. Though Kathleen Kennedy would disagree, there are tons of pre-2012 Boba stories they could have used. I don't care about one character on Boba's show. If they die I don't have to worry because, "No one's ever really gone"... I'm referring to you Cad Bane. Ugh!
It could be an unavoidable effect of just being a Clone despite the skill of the Kaminoans + The Sarlac Pit for 7 years. But he does seem a bit older than he’s ought to be at the time.
Edit: Someone mentioned the Sarlac Pit he was in for 7 years. Might be that.
He is supposed to be completely unaltered so he should age normally.
But jango specifically wanted a clone that wasn't aging faster than normal humans
Boba has no genetic alterations.
If you want an excuse to explain his age, you could say that the Sarlacc pit took a toll on his body.
... except that the bacta tank therapy is supposed to have healed him.
@@Arkanthrall also, skin damage does not look the same as age
Well I appreciate that Disney hire the original actor, but there's should be a compromise for recast when the actor/actress isn't suitable for the role
Or just make him wear the helmet all the time... like he always did. It works for Mando, why doesn't it work for Boba?
@@eliaspeter7689 like Tokusatsu show, Temuera Morrison can be on show while maintaining the presence of Boba Fett
Jeremy Bulloch wasn't in this though?
🤔
Did that lad who got tasered face dive a bottle?!
Monkey Magic was some of the greatest children's television ever.
