@@szabok1999 true, but those were more continuations of their stories or building onto what was already there. Some of the recent stuff is just completely fabricated and not good.
@@acgonzales7 Yeah it js puzzling how the writers don't seem to understand we just want to learn more about the characters the shows/movies are named after. Not the 50 extra side characters that appear out of thing air and just exist to fill up the runtime. I was really hoping this would actually be a bounty hunter show where he hunts bouties but silly me thinking Disney would do something so simple.
Book of boba fett is like that crush you've had for years until you actually get into a relationship and realize its not like you imagined. Then you realize that your other best friend, the mandalorian. Who was there for you at the worst times (rise of skywalker) was actually your one true love all a long
I think that a bounty hunter is not a good choice for a protagonists for a kids shows or well a show for every age. I think that Boba fett and the others bounty hunters and crime lords would be better for a R or maybe PG 13 rating but well is Disney so everybody have to be a good guy and a good role model.
The issue is they already turned mando into everything fett was supposed to be. And for some reason they thought they had to do something different. It would've been wayyyy cooler if he was unhinged and trying to punish every sleight with death and it was fennec who had to reign him in "if you're a killing maniac they'll fear you but they won't respect you" and his story is coming to terms with his old way not working for him any longer. Instead of "oh he completely changed from the sarlacc" except none of his aspirations denote that
Except Mando has a moral code whereas boba has always been in it for the money , they definitely could've still made a good story without changing his character
What kept distracting me during the Boba Fett series was the Tuskens use a lot of wood. Like so much wood. Their weapons, their tent frames, their fires, the things they stake prisoners to? All wooden. But there isn't a freakin tree (outside of a dream sequence) on the planet. We've seen like 50 movies and TV shots of Tattooine and not a tree to be found, but the sand people literally burn through wood like it wronged them somehow.
They are exceedingly rich and import it from other planets far away by the rocket-load. The same is true of the steam-punk masks and pre-distressed high couture sack-cloth.
Or the opposite, where you've become a level-20 badass by doing nothing but side quests, but then sort of half-accidentally start the story missions because the last remaining game mode is locked behind the final boss.
This show highlights one of the most frustrating aspects of Star Wars being owned by Disney- they can't make up their minds about how violent a show can be.

Show genuinely felt like Animal Crossing half the time. Making friends, catching animals, meetings with the mayor, walking around and talking to townsfolk. Yup, checks out.
Meet Fennec Shand, our resident strong woman, who has zero personality traits aside from standing around, looking cool and mistaking her scenes for the rehearsal takes!
The main problem was that the show was basically How Boba Lives In Retirement. It’s like if Lord of the Rings had all been how Frodo deals with obnoxious neighbors in the Shire.
"So what do we know about Boba Fett?" "Well, he's a bounty hunter." "OK so first, he won't be doing that any more." "Does he still do work for the Hutts?" "Nope, hates them now." "So just his own freelance bad guy?" "Nah, we can't have a main character be a bad guy! It's fine, people will know him from the other stuff. "OK. Well he is always wearing his armor with the helmet." "That's more The Mandalorian's thing now. So he'll almost never wear his helmet." "At least he can still jetpack around a lot?" "Well he can. But barely will." "Ah. Well this is just after *Return of the Jedi*, so at least we get to see a 40 year old badass loner." "Would you settle for a 60 year old and the friends he meets along the way?" "Perfect."
It's not like he keeps saying that he's not a bounty hunter or anything. Oh and when the actor tells the director that he feels he's talking too much and then is told don't worry about it... yeah show has issues.
Lol. This sounds like a Pitch Meeting in the making. Producer: I guess it's going to be hard to bring back a character who was supposed to have died by being eaten by a monster in the middle of the desert? Pitch Guy: Actually, it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
A wise person once said, "Do, or do not. There is no try." Jon Favreau should have taken heed of that bit of advice. If you are gong to make a TV show about Boba Fett becoming a crime boss, then do that. Don't spend four episodes skirting around that idea, with lots of thematically repetitive flashbacks, then give up half way through by shifting the focus on to another character/set of characters. Jon Favreau owes Temuera Morrison a massive apology.
This is how you pass the torch, make the original look so bad everyone forgets about him. That's what the sequel trilogy was too, those original heroes? They all suck, look here's your new younger, more diverse, better ones.
That's doubly true, in that The Mandalorian could have easily just been Boba Fett all along, just with some personality tweaks. That raised the bar too high for Boba, it seems.
@@khsuki1 Don't forget, in a way George Lucas actually made Boba Fett himself retroactively more diverse! Not sure why the umbrage over diversity. The primary gang in the original trilogy included a younger white male, older white male, a woman, a black male, two robots, and a Wookie. The sequel group was smaller, but it included a woman, a black male, a light-skinned male actor whose diversity status doesn't matter because it's Oscar Isaac, the very same Wookie, and a robot. Not really much of a difference, right?
"I find your smoothed out face disturbing," cracked me up! Along with Boba Fett not at all being the same character we know and love, I can't believe they dragged Cad Bane into this mess to kill him off with a freaking stick!
I could have gotten over how slow the show was if Fett wasn't so gormless about starting his empire. He literally just went around like "I am the new king of crime. It's my first day tho, what do I do?" This show has formally established that Boba Fett is not cunning, ruthless, or particularly dangerous. He's just a guy with armor.
Doesn’t really lend itself to the idea of the guy walking into a palace, murdering the current ruler and sitting on a throne above his fresh corpse, does it?
@@TheCoolCucumber and here I was hoping that Maybe just maybe Disney was done with doing these sorts of character re-writes. Especially on things that John Favreau is overseeing.
The writers of this show seem to have COMETELY forgotten that Boba Fett was a villain. He was a bad guy. He killed for money. He tried to murder Jedi on the spot. He worked for the most evil and sinister people in the galaxy when he knew they were corrupt. He knew they blew up planets and ran crime rings and he didn't care. Then one day the people he tried to kill and who tried to kill him SHOW UP IN HIS CITY and he immediately joins up with them (talking about Grogu being the apprentice of Luke who had many fights with Boba and nearly got him killed) literally WEEKS before the start of the show... Just what in the f*** were these people thinking when they made this??
This is why we need a Star-Wars sitcom about random Imperial middle-class citizens trying to get a raise or something, I've had enough with pre-existing characters whose interconnected stories only serve to make the galaxy seem smaller.
@@danielciocilteu3545 Dang, I haven't thought about the sitcom idea since I first posted this comment a year ago. Auralnauts you say? I'll check em out, thanks for the recommendation.
Book of Boba Fett should've been Narcos in SPACE. Crime connections, building up power, squaring off with rivals while keeping a careful balance with the populace and various authorities. It could've been great. Instead it was just... empty.
People say it was a bad idea to make Boba a main character but it would have worked if the writers actually tried and make this Narcos Breaking Bad esque show
The coolest and badass thing about Boba Fett was his helmet, and they spent so much time with him not wearing the helmet! He was literally a headshot away from being killed. Not to mention, his suit also looked so small on him, like his gut was bursting through it. Mando's suite is so streamlined and proportion to him, and just looked awesome.
Mando looks great in his armor. But it's like they picked up the EXACT set of armor from the Return of the Jedi, handed it to Boba and said "see if this still fits". Narrator: "It didn't."
It's fine, hardly anyone on Tatooine uses blasters anyway, not even the super duper Night Wind assassins. They have blasters, they just all choose not to use them for some reason.
@@leonrussell9607 yes, you are right. That's why it changes the whole things. The word brings complete different images and feelings to me, a Japanese.
All the dramatic entrances accompanied by awesome music and then here comes Grogu waddling up like a boss perfectly to the music. Just *chef kiss* amazing
The mod street gang was such a laughably bad part of the show. Showing Fennec get her mods was neat but the "gang" could have easily been replaced with regular people or retired soldiers, stormtroopers who hated the Empire, rebel fighters, other bounty hunters. Any of those would have been an improvement.
Yeah the reason they fell flat for me, was they looked like something out of cyberpunk and not Star Wars, also their bikes was spotless, what did they wash them with? Water? It's a scarce substance on Tatooine, which they had been stealing to drink, BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T AFFORD IT !!! DID THEY WASH THEIR BIKES IN THAT!! Sorry that have bothered me a lot.
So, the teenagers riding immaculately spotless floating Vespa scooters (when everyone else rides around on sand scoured, rusted out shitboxes) on a desert planet didn’t do it for you?
The Book of Boba Fett's runtime would have been better balanced if 100% of its 50% space meetings and 50% dramatic entrance scenes featured a space meeting that included a dramatic entrance.
“Maybe it was a bad idea that a childrens’ network did a crime show.” This was an amazing episode of HT among amazing episodes. Too bad Boba Fett lent itself to this roast so easily.
@@One.Zero.One101 it’s also disconcerting that Fennec Shand does all his dirty work for him. She’s actually more ruthless than even Cad Bane, who likes to do the high noon face off too much. If Vader had hired her instead of Fett, the Empire might have actually won.
Hey guys, let's make Bobba a crime lord, but let's make him S-O-F-T. That will be realistic and live up to everyone's expectations from his OT appearances!
I could’ve forgiven everything about this show if at the end Fett is in a position where the mayor or someone isn’t cooperating and he says “Screw it” and shoots him in the head or something. Heck, when Shand killed the mayor and all the other crime lords I was hopeful for a second that that was Boba. Then I remembered he had sent Shand out to do that, instead of him just going himself. So much wasted potential
This show was basically like the reverse of _The Godfather._ Evil person actively wants to be a mob boss, even though nobody else wants him to, and he becomes a better person for it.
This might be one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Not because it had to be super creative, but because they willingly gave you guys SOOOOO much material and made themselves such easy targets for a channel like this lmai
This dude contracted with Darth Vader, and a few years later he's refusing to kill, steal, harm, cheat, or generally hurt anyone's feelings. I know it's Disney but c'mon you'd think a show about a bounty hunter crime lord would have the faintest hint of an edge to it.
also the director of Alita: Battle Angel. Also the director of Desperado. Also the Director of part of From Dusk til Dawn. Also the director of Sin City, Planet Terror and Machete.
Fennec Shand lacks any kind of character development. She's the loyal assassin who's sceptical about everything Boba wants, but goes along with it anyway. If it weren't for the fact that he'd saved her life, I would have expected her to betray him. I also hoped that the Tusken Raiders would be Boba's secret ace up his sleeve for the other gang's sudden but inevitable betrayal, but that didn't work out. And how come there weren't any aliens amongst the colorful scooter gang?
Shand is my favorite character so far and she's amazing in The Bad Batch. I can definitely see the artistic issues and conflict in this show (it was heavily rumored amongst the production staff). I know they can do better. I don't know who wrote this, but please, hire me instead. I will make this show so damn ruthless and awesome.
It was just sad that in a show about Boba Fett, he shot his blaster like once or twice and didn't give us the bounty hunter reunions we had hoped for by instead giving the star wars equivalent of the power rangers.
Why do Marvel offshoots up the wazoo happen? They think they're going to make more money. That's all it's about and it shows. These films and TV shows are a jumbled mess.
And somehow they still took it easy on the show. Bobba is an INCREDIBLY bad leader. He doesn't hire troops except teenagers with attitude, he doesn't pressure or threaten the other crime lords into helping him, just meekly asking if they could please not betray him, and is shocked when they do, needs Fennec to remind him that they could just kill the enemy leaders...
George Lucas made a movie called American Graffiti that featured colorful hot rod gangs. This was supposed to be a tribute to that. It was so out of place though.
I loved that part too lmaoo and I love Fennec but they also didn't do her character justice in the show. she could have had better lines and more badass action scenes
I don't hate this show, but I WILL admit I had more fun with this eight minute trailer then I did with an average episode that didn't have Mando or Baby Yoda.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 Baby Yoda was his fan nickname from the moment he was first introduced. I assume *most* viewers understood that he wasn't literally Yoda.
Mando really is a Space Cowboy because he's gonna carry the weight of this entire series that isn't even his. Which reminds me... _See You Space Cowboy_
A Cowboy Bebop-style anthology series would have been great for a Boba or Mando series. It's a show about bounty hunters going on random adventures, where each episode has a self-contained plot. Mando seasons 1 & 2 had elements of this (going from planet to planet and doing side quests), but in the end it was all to serve the Grogu and Empire story arc
The Mandalorian should have been the standard they tried to meet with this series, but idk what they were thinking when they turned Boba into a pacifistic savior and had street bike chases that looked like they came from Big Bad Beetleborgs.
The problem isn't that its limited to being a "kids show". I'm sick of hearing that. Star Wars spin-offs have long moved away from the kids demographic and have been appealing to an older audience for a while now. Some of the stuff you see in shows like Clone Wars or The Bad Batch are proof of that No, the problem with The Book of Boba Fett is that the showrunners clearly had no interest in trying to make Boba Fett a compelling character. They only cared about the character's brand recognition Its kind of a problem when Mando, who has only ever worked for the Empire once, is the more violent and less forgiving character than the guy who made a career working for the Space Nazis to the point that Darth Vader had to specifically tell him "No disintegrations"
The show was only made to create a couple of new products for Disney to sell. Think of all the memorabilia you're going to see related to this show and characters....this show was nothing more than a cash grab/money pig set up.
I was fine with Boba Fett being a more calm character because I thought the final episode is when he was going to go full beast mode but it was such a disappointment. Also since the mandalorian is already silent badass bounty hunter that's probably why they tried to change Boba Fett when the fans were fine having two badass bounty hunters
I feel like the whole purpose of the Tuscan Raider memory-flashback back-story was to show how and why Boba Fett changed. He WAS this ruthless bounty hunter, but the experiences with the sand people changed him into something a bit more...noble.
Epic voice guy: "Learning more about a star wars character only makes them cooler" Kid Fett: "Git him Dad, git him" Me: Wow the warning signs were all there!
When is it bad for a kid saying that? At least it's better than having him in the OT just standing there and doing nothing, while he was thrown, by a blind man, into the sarlacc pit.
@@ResolvedMC To be fair to Boba, that bounty on Luke's head must have been very sizable indeed for him to focus all his attention on trying to capture Skywalker. Dude was too busy aiming his blaster at Luke thinking "money, money, money" to notice Han behind him swinging that stick. ....that would make a great meme about Disney losing the plot now I think of it just have Han be "story", Luke be "money", and Boba be "Disney" and there you go.
Fennec showing what a Master Assassin can do while taking down the Pyke leaders and local bosses that betrayed them was pretty damn badass though… Why didn’t we get more of that?!
She literally could have solved the entire conflict of the show herself if she just did that a month before. There was nothing stopping her and she ended up doing it with zero prep and 100% skill. She should be Boba's boss, not the other way around.
That tiny segment felt like it meshed with the picture setting up the series of Fett on the throne. Everything between it felt like a Bacta tank fever dream.
It was such a weird show, but definitely had it's fun moments. I've decided that the "Book of Boba Fett" is actually the paperback that Din picked up in a spaceport gift shop and read on the flight to Tatooine. Also, the "That'll do, pigs" line was brilliant!
"I find your smoothed out face disturbing." EXACTLY!!!! Many of us old enough to remember waiting for the second Star Wars movie remember reading about the car accident that damaged Mark Hamill's face! Hell, that is why Empire began with a wompa injuring Luke. To explain the facial differences and scars.
This was a ton of fun to watch, and thanks for calling out the stupid in this show. Boba was the most agreeable bounty hunter/daimyo ever, a 100% turn from the tone the character set in ESB 42 years ago (lord, I'm old).
Also he "took over" Jabba's business but he could barely control half of Mos Espa. Pretty sure Jabba controlled not just the whole planet, but all the other ones that start with Nal or Nar.
Yea but we really didn't know anything about him then. So while I was confused that he was so lenient. I couldn't really say it contradicts with how he used to be. Cuz we really didn't know his philosophy.
First off, I love y'all. This is the best HT you'll have done. Now it's time to tackle an honest trailer for Downton Alley. And epic voice dude, please say, "Would you mind staying for luncheon?"
The original Boba was a skinny guy, so his shoulder pads covered his entire shoulders. Now with a beefed-up Maori his shoulder guards are more like tiny decorations.
The issue is mostly the new undergarments on the armor. Temuera is a bit bigger than when he played Jango, but the armor is being placed over 2 layers of robes now, instead of 1 layer of form fitting material.
@@nooneyouknow13 It's what I said, plus what you said, plus compared to The Mandalorian (who clearly IS now correctly armoured) Boba is basically in Bikini Armour.
Imagine a Boba Fett version of 127 hours, with Boba in the sarlaac, it could still have flashbacks that expand his chacter, perhapes to Jango or to Cad Bane. It would be really satisfying to see him escape if he has to struggle more and longer than in the series
Some people are more visual. Good costumes in movies and TV, or good character design in games is huge for me. In The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett had a great look and great dialogue. In just a couple of lines you understand that he's ruthless, remorseless, amoral, and you think "Man, I bet he'd be really cool if he had a bigger part in the story." Hasn't really worked out that way yet.
It's because the people obsessing over Boba Fett today were the kids who liked that action figure the most back in the 90's. Given how little he was in the movies, Boba Fett's prominence in the merchandising was huge.
For me it was his stance and design at first. Then the scene where he does the really clever thing and follows the heroes when none of the other bounty hunters can. He really is a silent, serious assassin that had a lot of intrigue. But then it was the third movie where they gave him a name and then he goofily, immediately falls into the sarlac pit. That…. Should have been a sign for things to come. But he was cool in the mandalorian and I liked him well enough in the prequels/clone wars episodes. Although I did laugh when I found out his backstory, literally the most complicated character history ever xD But yeah in the mandalorian, he was so cool because even before he gets his armour, he’s this amazing baddass, the powerful assassin again, but this time with a friend and working with the good guys
Yeah, I didn't want to force my gf to watch BoBF since I wasn't enjoying it very much, but now feel like she has to before Mando S3 comes out. And yeah only the last 3 eps really need to be watched, but there are moments in the finale that I think she'd like to have context for--especially the Rancor.
That had to be intentional, right? They figured The Book of Boba Fett wasn't going to be super successful, so they intrinsically tied the Mandalorian into it, so fans of the show need to watch it.
I honestly don't want anything connecting to the sequel trilogy. I can't think of a single thing I liked from it. Other then it was pretty to look at and the first movie was okay.
@@fangwhiteclaw7089 I can see a potential connection to the sequels which could be acceptable for those who dislike them and those who like them. Make the events in the sequels just one of several conflicts in the galaxy at that point on the timeline. While Rey and Co. is fighting First Order, Mando and Co. can be fighting another threat in a different part of the galaxy (Thrawn?). It would explain why noone came when the resistance called for help, and then literally everyone came about one year later.
‘Knowing more about a Star Wars character only makes em cooler’. That was so accurate it hurt
"when will we find out more about Yoda and Grogu's species?!" Actually..... mystery is good in Star Wars.
The clone wars did a lot of characters right. Dooku, Maul, Anakin, they all got cooler.
@@szabok1999 true, but those were more continuations of their stories or building onto what was already there. Some of the recent stuff is just completely fabricated and not good.

What kept distracting me during the Boba Fett series was the Tuskens use a lot of wood. Like so much wood. Their weapons, their tent frames, their fires, the things they stake prisoners to? All wooden. But there isn't a freakin tree (outside of a dream sequence) on the planet. We've seen like 50 movies and TV shots of Tattooine and not a tree to be found, but the sand people literally burn through wood like it wronged them somehow.

Well, maybe the wood comes from plants that are below the surface and use water that us below the ground.
I always thought that there were hidden oasis that only the tuskens knew about.
Well, now you know why there are no trees. They've all been made into tent poles.
This show feels like when you've already beaten the main story and doing all of the side quests
Or playing mediocre DLC.

This is how you pass the torch, make the original look so bad everyone forgets about him. That's what the sequel trilogy was too, those original heroes? They all suck, look here's your new younger, more diverse, better ones.
THIS
That's doubly true, in that The Mandalorian could have easily just been Boba Fett all along, just with some personality tweaks. That raised the bar too high for Boba, it seems.
@@khsuki1 Don't forget, in a way George Lucas actually made Boba Fett himself retroactively more diverse!
Not sure why the umbrage over diversity. The primary gang in the original trilogy included a younger white male, older white male, a woman, a black male, two robots, and a Wookie. The sequel group was smaller, but it included a woman, a black male, a light-skinned male actor whose diversity status doesn't matter because it's Oscar Isaac, the very same Wookie, and a robot. Not really much of a difference, right?
@@redsoxu571 Maybe the real Boba was the friends we made along the way.
"a planet in a remote corner at the center of the galaxy"
This line is beautiful
"I find your smoothed out face disturbing," cracked me up! Along with Boba Fett not at all being the same character we know and love, I can't believe they dragged Cad Bane into this mess to kill him off with a freaking stick!
I could have gotten over how slow the show was if Fett wasn't so gormless about starting his empire. He literally just went around like "I am the new king of crime. It's my first day tho, what do I do?" This show has formally established that Boba Fett is not cunning, ruthless, or particularly dangerous. He's just a guy with armor.
Doesn’t really lend itself to the idea of the guy walking into a palace, murdering the current ruler and sitting on a throne above his fresh corpse, does it?
@@TheCoolCucumber and here I was hoping that Maybe just maybe Disney was done with doing these sorts of character re-writes. Especially on things that John Favreau is overseeing.
The writers of this show seem to have COMETELY forgotten that Boba Fett was a villain. He was a bad guy. He killed for money. He tried to murder Jedi on the spot. He worked for the most evil and sinister people in the galaxy when he knew they were corrupt. He knew they blew up planets and ran crime rings and he didn't care.
Then one day the people he tried to kill and who tried to kill him SHOW UP IN HIS CITY and he immediately joins up with them (talking about Grogu being the apprentice of Luke who had many fights with Boba and nearly got him killed) literally WEEKS before the start of the show... Just what in the f*** were these people thinking when they made this??

Book of Boba Fett should've been Narcos in SPACE. Crime connections, building up power, squaring off with rivals while keeping a careful balance with the populace and various authorities. It could've been great. Instead it was just... empty.
Which reminds me, Narcos is a badass show.
People say it was a bad idea to make Boba a main character but it would have worked if the writers actually tried and make this Narcos Breaking Bad esque show
Both star Pedro Pascal.
@Gian Carlo Rosero it would be amazing but you're right no way Disney would allow something like that
Welp off i go to watch Narcos
The coolest and badass thing about Boba Fett was his helmet, and they spent so much time with him not wearing the helmet! He was literally a headshot away from being killed. Not to mention, his suit also looked so small on him, like his gut was bursting through it. Mando's suite is so streamlined and proportion to him, and just looked awesome.
Mando looks great in his armor. But it's like they picked up the EXACT set of armor from the Return of the Jedi, handed it to Boba and said "see if this still fits".
Narrator: "It didn't."
It's fine, hardly anyone on Tatooine uses blasters anyway, not even the super duper Night Wind assassins. They have blasters, they just all choose not to use them for some reason.

This video was significantly more entertaining than the entire show.
The mod street gang was such a laughably bad part of the show. Showing Fennec get her mods was neat but the "gang" could have easily been replaced with regular people or retired soldiers, stormtroopers who hated the Empire, rebel fighters, other bounty hunters. Any of those would have been an improvement.
yes they were awful
@@ianism3 how are they awful?
Yeah the reason they fell flat for me, was they looked like something out of cyberpunk and not Star Wars, also their bikes was spotless, what did they wash them with? Water? It's a scarce substance on Tatooine, which they had been stealing to drink, BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T AFFORD IT !!! DID THEY WASH THEIR BIKES IN THAT!! Sorry that have bothered me a lot.
The girl was REALLY cute, tho. So that's a point in their favor.
So, the teenagers riding immaculately spotless floating Vespa scooters (when everyone else rides around on sand scoured, rusted out shitboxes) on a desert planet didn’t do it for you?
Even though the names were funny, Luke's remark on Ahsoka's statement killed me 🤣
Ah yes, the bridge fight in Men In Tights. Best stick fighting in movie history. The tension was unbelievably high.
The Book of Boba Fett's runtime would have been better balanced if 100% of its 50% space meetings and 50% dramatic entrance scenes featured a space meeting that included a dramatic entrance.

@@One.Zero.One101 it’s also disconcerting that Fennec Shand does all his dirty work for him. She’s actually more ruthless than even Cad Bane, who likes to do the high noon face off too much. If Vader had hired her instead of Fett, the Empire might have actually won.
Hey guys, let's make Bobba a crime lord, but let's make him S-O-F-T. That will be realistic and live up to everyone's expectations from his OT appearances!
I could’ve forgiven everything about this show if at the end Fett is in a position where the mayor or someone isn’t cooperating and he says “Screw it” and shoots him in the head or something. Heck, when Shand killed the mayor and all the other crime lords I was hopeful for a second that that was Boba. Then I remembered he had sent Shand out to do that, instead of him just going himself. So much wasted potential
Makes you want a Shand show, but then you remember they could only ruin her character.

The Men in Tights reference was so unexpected, and yet so perfect.
This dude contracted with Darth Vader, and a few years later he's refusing to kill, steal, harm, cheat, or generally hurt anyone's feelings. I know it's Disney but c'mon you'd think a show about a bounty hunter crime lord would have the faintest hint of an edge to it.
meanwhile, the Mandalorian cutting people in half
Exactly. This is supposed to be the same guy who had to be specifically told by Vader to stop disintegrating people.
He even tried to bomb a jedi and now he's all like boohoo that's a crime.
Omg, that last Robin Hood: Men in Tights scene was perfection.
The decisions in this show made so much more sense when I found out the 1st, 3rd episodes and the finale were directed by the director of Spy Kids.
Honestly, I'm impressed at how well the show turned out now.
Hey, Spy Kids was awesome, don't diss my childhood.
So? Dude also directed Desperado, Sin City, The Faculty, Planet Terror...
also the director of Alita: Battle Angel. Also the director of Desperado. Also the Director of part of From Dusk til Dawn. Also the director of Sin City, Planet Terror and Machete.
So THAT's how they got Danny Trejo to be in it...
Fennec Shand lacks any kind of character development. She's the loyal assassin who's sceptical about everything Boba wants, but goes along with it anyway. If it weren't for the fact that he'd saved her life, I would have expected her to betray him.
I also hoped that the Tusken Raiders would be Boba's secret ace up his sleeve for the other gang's sudden but inevitable betrayal, but that didn't work out. And how come there weren't any aliens amongst the colorful scooter gang?
Have you watched The Bad Batch?
Shand is my favorite character so far and she's amazing in The Bad Batch. I can definitely see the artistic issues and conflict in this show (it was heavily rumored amongst the production staff). I know they can do better. I don't know who wrote this, but please, hire me instead. I will make this show so damn ruthless and awesome.
@@indisummers4385 by no means did I intend to critique the character in general, just what the show did (or didn't do) with her.
Honestly, I first assumed the power ranger girl was an alien, because she was always pale and clean in Tatooine.
Princess Vespa... So many layers of awesome. Mel Brooks would be so proud.
It was just sad that in a show about Boba Fett, he shot his blaster like once or twice and didn't give us the bounty hunter reunions we had hoped for by instead giving the star wars equivalent of the power rangers.
spot on. it was awful
So true. Where’s Bossk and Dengar? I loved Star Wars but it’s time for me to move on…
I'm totally glad that they brought Boba Fett back but why did they give him his own show when they clearly didn't have a story to tell?
Theyre almost done ruining all the legacy characters to make the Feloni characters more popular.
because MONEYYYYYYY
Why do Marvel offshoots up the wazoo happen? They think they're going to make more money. That's all it's about and it shows. These films and TV shows are a jumbled mess.

That deep fake was beautiful compared to everything we've gotten in the past
And somehow they still took it easy on the show. Bobba is an INCREDIBLY bad leader. He doesn't hire troops except teenagers with attitude, he doesn't pressure or threaten the other crime lords into helping him, just meekly asking if they could please not betray him, and is shocked when they do, needs Fennec to remind him that they could just kill the enemy leaders...
Talks about respect but then does nothing to earn said respect...
My favourite part was him declaring himself daimyo... of what exactly? There didn't seem to be an organisation for him to be in charge of.
that last part from Men in Tights made me laugh, you guys are gold.
I giggled just like I did seeing Men in Tights in theaters all those decades ago!
And now that we have a third season of the mandalorian, it makes this show look amazing.
After watching Luca and The Book of Boba Fett I seriously think some producer just really loves Vespa or has a ton of its stock or both you know.
George Lucas made a movie called American Graffiti that featured colorful hot rod gangs. This was supposed to be a tribute to that. It was so out of place though.
The 'I like Shand...' bit was gold, lmao, Ming-Na Wen's character was the best part of this show
I like her, but every scene she's in she rolls her eyes and looks to the side. EVERY ONE.
She was cool, I just really wish they had given her more development, instead of introducing the Mos Vespas.
Where isn't Ming Na Wen the best part?

Mando really is a Space Cowboy because he's gonna carry the weight of this entire series that isn't even his. Which reminds me...
_See You Space Cowboy_
A Cowboy Bebop-style anthology series would have been great for a Boba or Mando series. It's a show about bounty hunters going on random adventures, where each episode has a self-contained plot.
Mando seasons 1 & 2 had elements of this (going from planet to planet and doing side quests), but in the end it was all to serve the Grogu and Empire story arc
Grogu strolling in during that epic entrance song was🔥🔥🔥
What I loved about Boba Fett was the fact that halfway through, it became the Mandalorian S3.
The Mandalorian should have been the standard they tried to meet with this series, but idk what they were thinking when they turned Boba into a pacifistic savior and had street bike chases that looked like they came from Big Bad Beetleborgs.

The problem isn't that its limited to being a "kids show". I'm sick of hearing that. Star Wars spin-offs have long moved away from the kids demographic and have been appealing to an older audience for a while now. Some of the stuff you see in shows like Clone Wars or The Bad Batch are proof of that
No, the problem with The Book of Boba Fett is that the showrunners clearly had no interest in trying to make Boba Fett a compelling character. They only cared about the character's brand recognition
Its kind of a problem when Mando, who has only ever worked for the Empire once, is the more violent and less forgiving character than the guy who made a career working for the Space Nazis to the point that Darth Vader had to specifically tell him "No disintegrations"
DARTH FUCKING VADER had to tell him to be less brutal lol. What were these writers doing? lmao
The show was only made to create a couple of new products for Disney to sell. Think of all the memorabilia you're going to see related to this show and characters....this show was nothing more than a cash grab/money pig set up.
I was fine with Boba Fett being a more calm character because I thought the final episode is when he was going to go full beast mode but it was such a disappointment. Also since the mandalorian is already silent badass bounty hunter that's probably why they tried to change Boba Fett when the fans were fine having two badass bounty hunters
He also acted morally superior to Cad Bane who at least called him out on it
I feel like the whole purpose of the Tuscan Raider memory-flashback back-story was to show how and why Boba Fett changed. He WAS this ruthless bounty hunter, but the experiences with the sand people changed him into something a bit more...noble.
The dramatic entrance with Grogu killed me 🤣. Also, say “We live in a society, in a world, in a parallel dimension, in a galaxy far far away…”

To be fair to Boba, that bounty on Luke's head must have been very sizable indeed for him to focus all his attention on trying to capture Skywalker.
Dude was too busy aiming his blaster at Luke thinking "money, money, money" to notice Han behind him swinging that stick.
....that would make a great meme about Disney losing the plot now I think of it just have Han be "story", Luke be "money", and Boba be "Disney" and there you go.
Love your choices of "stick fighting" examples.
Fennec showing what a Master Assassin can do while taking down the Pyke leaders and local bosses that betrayed them was pretty damn badass though… Why didn’t we get more of that?!
She literally could have solved the entire conflict of the show herself if she just did that a month before. There was nothing stopping her and she ended up doing it with zero prep and 100% skill. She should be Boba's boss, not the other way around.
That tiny segment felt like it meshed with the picture setting up the series of Fett on the throne.
Everything between it felt like a Bacta tank fever dream.
they wasted her character so much, it's sad. Ming na wen deserved better
The answer is: the writers are bad at their jobs.
Because we can't have strong female lead characters - too many male heads would explode.

Meet Boba, who wants to be a crime lord, except for the crime part, and the lord part.

The original Boba was a skinny guy, so his shoulder pads covered his entire shoulders. Now with a beefed-up Maori his shoulder guards are more like tiny decorations.
The issue is mostly the new undergarments on the armor. Temuera is a bit bigger than when he played Jango, but the armor is being placed over 2 layers of robes now, instead of 1 layer of form fitting material.

Who cares about that? We all just want Clone wars!(Just joking, waiting for both, sorry for my bad english)
I will never get the obsession with Boba Fett from the original trilogy
He's in it for 5 minutes and all new does is stand around in the back
Some people are more visual. Good costumes in movies and TV, or good character design in games is huge for me. In The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett had a great look and great dialogue. In just a couple of lines you understand that he's ruthless, remorseless, amoral, and you think "Man, I bet he'd be really cool if he had a bigger part in the story." Hasn't really worked out that way yet.
It's because the people obsessing over Boba Fett today were the kids who liked that action figure the most back in the 90's. Given how little he was in the movies, Boba Fett's prominence in the merchandising was huge.
My theory is it happened when Darth Vader told him "no disintegrations".
bs little boy power fantasies don't mature well when you've gotta flesh out an action figure into a three dimensional character.
For me it was his stance and design at first. Then the scene where he does the really clever thing and follows the heroes when none of the other bounty hunters can. He really is a silent, serious assassin that had a lot of intrigue. But then it was the third movie where they gave him a name and then he goofily, immediately falls into the sarlac pit. That…. Should have been a sign for things to come. But he was cool in the mandalorian and I liked him well enough in the prequels/clone wars episodes. Although I did laugh when I found out his backstory, literally the most complicated character history ever xD
But yeah in the mandalorian, he was so cool because even before he gets his armour, he’s this amazing baddass, the powerful assassin again, but this time with a friend and working with the good guys
This was so spot on! 😂 Chef’s kiss!
Imagine people who only watch The Mandalorian and up confused by season 3 showing Mando and Grogu united again after the end of season 2.
That's why I watched the 3 last episodes of The Book of Boba Fett (and only watched those).
Yeah, I didn't want to force my gf to watch BoBF since I wasn't enjoying it very much, but now feel like she has to before Mando S3 comes out. And yeah only the last 3 eps really need to be watched, but there are moments in the finale that I think she'd like to have context for--especially the Rancor.
I hadn't watched S2 of Mandalorian yet and got really confused.
There will be some sort of flashback/catch up thing
That had to be intentional, right? They figured The Book of Boba Fett wasn't going to be super successful, so they intrinsically tied the Mandalorian into it, so fans of the show need to watch it.
Honestly it's just great to hear Temuera Morrison's voice in Star Wars again
Original boba fett voice actor is 10 times better and more menacing, and he is deleted from the credits in the remakes, it's so sad
