The Book of Boba Fett was supposed to be a major moment in Star Wars history. The famous Mandalorian bounty hunter was not only appearing again on screen, but in a starring role for the very first time! Unfortunately, as Kathleen Kennedy's Lucasfilm once again dropped the ball, leaving fans with a mediocre series completely lacking in the excitement and action one would expect from this legendary clone warrior.
So what exactly went wrong? Vito is here to break it down.

Well Disney has their own royalty free replacement (the mandalorian) so if boba was the way he used to be they’d effectively have two of the same character with different paint jobs
What also bothered me is that Boba made no mention of Han Solo or the group that led him to his "death" in Return of the Jedi. He just says, ah whatever, and moves on.
You know, I think you're right, I don't think he mentions ANY of the original trio by name. Did he?
Good point and there’s a thread there with Luke being introduced in the Mandalorian with the writers of Boba Fett obviously knowing about it. What a fun show Boba Fett hunting down Luke Skywalker could have been, or at least a wrinkle to add in. And that’s pandering fan service too so it’s win-win.
I don't think there was much evidence that he was particularly vengeful before, especially if he died/failed fair and square doing his job.
@@arickle ignoring the revenge part, it's still kinda weird that he didn't even just mention them during a conversation with anyone on his team as he reminisces about the past
It wasn't Han Solo or the rebel's fault. They were fighting in self defense against an evil drug lord. They just wanted Han Solo back, but Jabba decided to murder them like the godfather he is. Boba had 5 years to reflect on his life choices.
It's kind of depressing how the animated clone wars series (which was a series for kids I might add) had far more violence than The Book of Boba Fett, a show about one of the universe's most deadly assassins.
A majority of Clone Wars was made before Disney acquired Lucas Arts.
Because Lucas was still calling the shots.
What’s funny is that blaster shots aren’t even particularly violent, it blasts a hole and instantly cauterizes the wound, same with lightsabers. If children can’t handle that then they can’t handle anything.
Heck, I think even Rebels was more violent than TBOBF lmao. (Inquisitor kills himself, Maul slashes the abdomen of an Inquisitor, and slices another Inquisitor almost completely in half.)
@@roger632 And slashes Kanan's eyes
(the damage was later retconned, but pause right before Kanan covers his face)
"Defeat my enemy and then give him a job" was actually a strategy employed by none other than Genghis Khan, and he got some of his best generals out of it. However, he certainly didn't let them push him around in front of the other troops afterwards.
I mean that concept is pretty widely used, especially in anime. Like using DBZ for example, Most of Gokus friends are ppl who once tried to kill him. The difference is that they're his allies and not employees/underlings so they can talk to each other however they want. It's hard to see Boba as a lord of anything when his ppl disrespect him the way that they do
@@toddstone230 power of friendship = Naruto
@@artnull13 =One Piece, Kingdom Hearts, Fairy Tail, it's a pretty standard thing lol
Senator Armstrong does it once.
It was also a strategy used by Tony in Scarface, winning him intense loyalty despite the odds.
I’d like to add that Grogu and Mando being in this show makes the season two finale for Mando feel, pointless. I mean I was expecting Grogu to go back to Din at some point but not THAT fast and I think the biggest clue to what kind of badass Boba Fett is in the Original Trilogy is the fact that he's the ONLY person we see in the whole trilogy who argues with Darth Vader - even getting right up in his face at one point in ESB - and DOESN'T get choked out. That alone speaks volumes.
Indeed. The emotional ending is now ruined
Totally agree! The Mandalorian and Grogu. Did not need be in that show. The show was about Boba Fett not the Mandalorian season 2.5.
Season 2 as a whole damaged the finale... Instead of a lengthy quest where we see these characters grow organically together, we just get the most expedient escort mission possible to back-door pilot a bunch of Clone Wars characters. That finale didn't feel earned. It felt like they were getting it out of the way so they could focus on part three of "the Filoni Trilogy" or whatever. But now they threw Mando and Baby Yoda back together, but WITH NO STORY. The story WAS the quest. Now the quest is over.
@@darthtenebrous965 💯💯
After the Kenobi show Vader lost some of that danger… Reva gets away with quite a lot.
I'm honestly kinda sick of star wars, used to be a big fan but Disney has been screwing it up so bad and it's hard to see past the countless flaws in their products, I'm excited to see you rip apart Kenobi.
Disney nao sabe oque fazer com star wars. E apenas um produto que rende dinheiro, um produto que pode ser usado como propaganda politica, e a disney nao sabe como o hyperespaço funciona, como os sabres de luz funcionam e nao sabem oque fazer com os stormtroopers que agora sao apenas pedaços de carnes ambulantes que so servem pra morrerem igual patetas
literally the funnest part of SW now is watching these guys tear it apart scene by scene, exposing every flaw of the characters, story, and so-called 'writers.'
It's like going in time to where you were playing Star Wars by yourself and being tied to a rocking chair as Beebop and Rocksteady force you to watch them play and record their own Star Wars movie for 3 days on Camcorder.
Imagine being you. Literally thriving off of negativity.
It’s a pathetic existence. Why do you care SO much about fucking entertainment media? It’s all fucking fiction my dude, it’s all made up. Every single thing from the beginning was basically thrown together anyway. Lucas never had an overarching plan. He didn’t even expect episode 4 to do well! He made things up as he went after that.
The only reason you hate the Disney stuff is because you have these weird expectations or ideas that you can’t seem to let go because of your childhood nostalgia. Every single Star Wars media has issues. Every single one. I recently introduced my gf to Star Wars and it was her first time seeing it all. She loves the entire story, each trilogy and the individual series. And we find it hilarious how people like to try to not pick Disney when George didn’t even know what he wanted to do.
I mean you can’t possibly forget how people said exactly what you’re saying about the prequels or even during the releases of Episodes 5 and 6.
Star Wars fans have literally been crying about it since day 1. And you know what? It still thrives. Because all the butt hurt nostalgia-tards like yourself either die or move on to actually important things in life by growing up. Then the next mantle of fans consume the media and thoroughly enjoy it because they don’t have those freaky predisposed expectations.
You should also probably spend your time doing something productive and that you enjoy, rather than watching a 30 minute long video explaining how to hate more, then making a comment literally hyping yourself up for more negativity. Why don’t you go partake in something you enjoy? Why waste the time going out of your way to cry about something you don’t like? It’s pathetic and childish. Almost as pathetic and childish as the person who wasted hours of their time to make a hate video.
@@TheSCPStudio doesn't matter what it is, be it star wars, politics, videogames, car designs, or shoes, when there's a demonstrable decline in quality then that's worth the critique of it.
someday when you're older you'll understand it better. in this case, you're confusing hate for star wars with pain that comes from disappointment when the thing you love betrays you.
but, for those of us who know about story and characters, we rebuke your, well, don't take it the wrong way, your bullshit. we're okay with you and your g/f enjoying it -- i say if you enjoy something this bad it's either on a guilty pleasure level or you're unsophisticated and easily amused probably more to do with being young than anything... and that's not a sin. you say it's pathetic, i say it's better than being entertained by bright shiny objects. most of us simply aren't the ignorance is bliss type.
this trash is objectively bad storytelling and characterization. that's important when it's being held up as the current standard. media shapes our minds, even this stuff. it really is one of those 'garbage in/garbage out' deals, when the 'in' is bad product and the 'out' is something you base much of your philosophy on, not just a pleasant diversion you spend time and money on, wasting time until you die an ignoble death and are rightfully forgotten.
these videos serve a purpose. imagine a world without critique, *that* would be the true tragedy. beyond that, it puts a sharper focus on what could be vague feelings of knowing something is terrible amiss, but you can't put your finger on it. these help you become a better critic so that you *don't* keep ingesting bullshit and lessening the quality of your life in the process. this is stupidly important stuff, and if anyone disagrees i would encourage them to do a little research into psychology for better answers.
it's also fun when you find an entertaining personality with good editing skills and makes some funny jokes and observations.
some of it is absolutely nostalgia based. so? i don't understand that argument at all, i always figure anyone who says that hasn't had *their* nostalgia attacked. i also find it hypocritical. give it time, give it time.
a person without enough heart to love something to someday elicit nostalgia is what i find pathetic, not to mention probably a red flag as that strikes me as being somewhat sociopathic.
but, like i say, to each their own.
I tapped out after last jedi.
I think the scene from Breaking Bad where Jesse is confronted by Hank, and Jesse emotionally screams "He can't keep getting away with this!!", accurately describes my feeling for Disney, Amazon, John Favreau, JJ Dumb Dumbs, and Corey Olson.
Perfectly said
Perfectly said indeed
why amazon?
so you slkipped TROS ? brace yourself for a shock.
Amen. Last Jedi was a dumpster fire. Literally the number one movie on my most hated list. All I've seen since was a few episodes of Boba Fett and I nope'd right out of there just as quickly. Star Wars is basically dead to me.
There was a severely missed opportunity for Boba Fett and Mando to act as polar opposites, and for Boba Fett to spend more time growing as a character, rather than just changing at the very beginning
💯
"Why would I want a show about Andor that's gonna suck!" Meanwhile it becomes one of the best things Disney has done with the franchise.
The best part, the Slave-1 ship (in Legends/EU) was named that by Jango Fett because he had grown up a slave before coming a foundling - it was an ironic name for his ship. In the mind of Jango, the life of a bountyhunter was liberating, he could take any contract he wanted, worked by his own rules, etc. Where Boba Fett feels this way for all of his appearances in Lucases Cannon, I do think the Book of Boba Fett explores something interesting in showing a character shift in Boba, having his view evolve after being betrayed into believing the life of a Bounty Hunter was akin to servitude. This could have been really interesting since neither view is completely true or false. It is too bad the show rushed this entire portion of character growth into flashback scenes and a lizard.
Also yes, I am sure it is also called Slave-1 for other "worse" reasons - but slavery is a pretty big theme in Star Wars. Scrubbing it from one place, something as small as the name of a ship, is ineffective in removing any references to slavery. Anakin is literally a slave in episode 1, there is no getting around Star Wars themes of slavery. Part of Anakin's arc in the prequels is how he starts as a slave, becomes free as a Jedi only to grow to think the Jedi are using him, then is ultimately is reenslaved by Sidious. Kids who are old enough to watch Star Wars are probably old enough to have learned about slavery from a teacher or their parents. Even if they aren't, do we really want to live in a society where we shield kids from the truth / themes of hard to swallow topics?
Just my thoughts, great video!
It's still named the slave 1 btw. Calling it a firespray is like calling your saturn you call "lucy" a saturn to someone who doesn't know you call your car lucy.
@@noname-bu1ux except most people don't just spit off the make and model of their boat, they call it by name
@@ntfoperative9432 I mean honestly though there's no reason for fennec shand to know what the slave 1 is. It's easier to say to someone "hey hop in the Nissan" than "hey hop in Lucy", unless they know Lucy is what you call your Nissan.
@no name sure but a ship isn't a car? It's like a boat ship you give it an actual name and use that
@@lewanbroski504 yeah, and sometimes you call it by the model so people know that your starship is THAT model. It's not a big deal really.
Andor surpassed my expectations a lot. Despite being weird backstory show for a character introduced in a spin off movie, I think it’s the best live action Disney Star Wars TV show we got
Boba's appearance in Mando S2 was done right atleast. Ruthless killer, demands for his armor, goes so far as threatening children, taking jobs and honoring agreements. His show turned him into a nobleman, his sand ppl revelation was pretty interesting, but it wasn't a gradual change and they killed them off like right away
I think in this show Boba is like an RPG character in Fallout or Skyrim or something. He’s supposed to be the ultimate badass but he’s also generous and he just recruits random people
💯💯
They needed to write Grogu out of the burning Jedi temple in TLJ.
“Star Wars” has been a a franchise that I have always held close to my heart, ever since I was born. But after The past five years, I’m seriously questioning if it’s even worth being a fan of this franchise anymore.
Not that, they had to make sure Kylo is Luke's first student, since that was a rule JJ made with TFA.
It is just to watch the movies and cartoons not this crap
I rewatched ESB last year. You almost forgot how cool Fett is in that movie, because people have been calling him "overrated" for decades. In his debut movie, he is one of the coolest and most effective villains ever.
His role in Empire Strikes Back was a glorified homing beacon.
As mentioned in the vid, the "No disintegrations" interaction, in all its 5 seconds, did more to solidify the Fett mythos than a whole season of "his" show, where he is sidelined by side chracters and Mando like a cuck in his own home.
@@masterrafferty4065 no, it was someone who had the strategic competence to not get juked by Han. And he’s the ONLY person not juked by Han. It goes over your head how meaningful that is.
@@GP.Records and then in the next movie Han defeats him entirely by accident while blind.
@@GP.Records you're projecting your own perspective into the scenes where he appears. He was objectively bland and underused in Episodes 5 and 6, and has been overrated ever since.
Yeah he was efficient, but no one made a parade out of it. He just took the chance and got to Han first than the other Bounty Hunters.
With Mando and Book of Boba Fett, he's finally a character now.
The Book Of Boba Fett was an underwhelming, forgettable, messy show that didn’t accomplish anything
I usually disagree with you about basically everything but that alternative plot you came up with was pretty badass. I enjoyed the video. Never stop doin what ya do Vito. 🤘
meh, pretty hacky, imo. had i been tasked to do this scene, i would also have had cad bane been the main antagonist all season which everyone agrees on already, but also set up a small bomb that could be planted in earlier episodes as a call-back. could be some tech he stole. plant it on bane, defeat him, in that process destroy some tech on bane's wrist, force him to leave, and pushes a button on his own wrist tech that blows the ship up as it's high in the sky.
shand comes up and removes one of the bombs on fett that bane planted on *him*. insert quippy one-liner. shand walks away, maybe fett mumbles, 'goodbye, old friend,' or something.
Yeah, not a big fan of laying it on that thick. Tony soprano didn't make speeches, he killed his friend and it was some of the hardest hitting shit ever. This StarWars stuff is for kids, they are limited by their pg rating
@@kapytanhook show was tv 14
@@kapytanhook you can get away with quite a bit with a PG rating these days. it's not the rating, it's the writing. minus out the sex scene and the severed horse head, and 'the godfather' is virtually PG today.
@@ryanbarker5217 I have trouble buying that, no gore, no casual cussing, no nudity, no Realist assault, no depth.
Go watch a real movie like Goodfellas. It needs to be rated 16 or R to even have a shot at being a good mob themed movie.
You have a point that good writing can do a lot, there are good g rated movies but they steer clear of these dark subtle genres that need realism
My problems with the Book Of Boba Fett honestly stem from one scene in the Mandalorian, actually.
Bo-Katan gets all "high and mighty" and starts acting like somehow Boba is less of a Mandalorian than she is simply because he's a clone. Then one of her companions straight up physically overpowers him and tosses Boba around.
Weird, she didn't seem to mind the Clones when they helped her retake Mandalore. She doesn't have much to say about being a "real" Mandalorian, considering her pacifist sister is half of the reason that Mandalore is in this mess, and the other half is Death Watch's for becoming servants of Maul, which she was a member of. She also clearly doesn't understand their culture, since any of those Clones could be a Mandalorian if they went through the same trials as a Foundling, and they stand a way better shot of passing than literally anyone else. Nor was she a very good leader, considering she had the backing of the united Mandalorian clans AND the Rebel Alliance, and still she somehow managed to lose Mandalore to the Empire. Again.
Boba should've thrown her friend to the ground and quickfired into her head for being stupid enough to try and square off against Boba fucking Fett without a blasterproof helmet on. That's what you get when you don't treat arguably the Galaxy's greatest bounty hunter as a legitimate threat.
After what Bo-Katan said and the shitty "I've heard your voice so much before" zinger, I want Boba to use his criminal empire to figure out how to solve the clone accelerated aging, have the mystery cure half their age, and then start training them as his own "True Mandalorians", just like Jaster Mereel did before him.
If Boba wants to rule through respect, having his own cadre of Clone enforcers to work protection on shipments, diplomatic missions, and controlled areas is the perfect way to do that. In that way, the former criminal empire that he takes over becomes more of a private security force or a private military company. They demand pay from the people of Tatooine, but they also eliminate any threat to the people. They charge a premium for their services, but they will make sure that you and your possessions are safe. Imagine Mos Espa or Freetown or Mos Eisley being patrolled by a litany of Clones in Mandalorian armor, instantly eliminating any threat to the town.
It would be like Boba being everywhere at once, because they all have the same voice. To the common people, they wouldn't really be able to tell the difference between Boba and the other Clones, so it would be like Boba Fett was standing guard on every corner. Every person who tried to screw with them would have to ask "Is that really Boba, or just one of the Clones?", making them definitely think more than twice about trying to attack him, and then realizing it doesn't make much of a difference when their attack is met with a blaster bolt between the eyes. They'd be perfect body guards and enforcers for him, it would absolutely be in line with his character, and it would be a great way to send a message to Bo-Katan and the rest of the criminal underworld.
Star Wars is dumb, what a surprise.
bo katan shouldnt even be in the show she looks way to young
@@techvidz4451 like wasn't she already in her 50s by the time of the Galactic Civil War?
@@ntfoperative9432 pretty much
That sounds awesome. Boba Fett revived the Mandalorians in Legends, seeing him do it in Canon would be great.
"We're going to make Boba Fett badass again!"
Spends 3 episodes beating the everloving shit out of Boba, making absolutely sure to knock him tf out at least once an episode and he NEVER gets back at those people. lmao
“Apology accepted”
If your enemies kill you, you win.

Your storyboard/telling on the final confrontation of Boba Fett & Cad Bane is really well developed & way way better than the actual show. Great job!👏
Much credit to the artist Corgan
I agree
I wish we got that instead, ugh
I actually got chills watching that
It's the most cliche ending to a hero / bad guy relationships ever. The hero sparing the bad guys life, so he can draw a hidden weapon, so that the hero has no choice but to kill him after all, but we can feel better about it. 🥱
I thought the same thing when Boba and the mandalorian left the high ground and flew down onto the street to fight. Why the hell would anyone who's ever been in a gun fight ever give up a tactical advantage like that?
Everyone knows it’s OVER when someone has the high ground
It was horribly incompetent. Shows how ignorant Favreau truly is.
nice nitpicking
I found myself questioning whether or not this was really "The Deadliest Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy" many, many times throughout the show. Made me so upset.
So let me get this straight.
Disney approached Robert Rodríguez, the guy from "Desperado", "Machete" and "Once upon a time in México" with the proposal of making a show about drug cartels where a bunch of space cowboys fight these giant spider mechs but they told him not to show anyone being killed?
...okay.
Only Disney could make boba fett empathetic and Luke skywalker apathetic
While watching this poorly written show, I kept thinking "Boba Fett? Where?" He was my favorite villain and they ruined him. #moredisintegrations
Boba Fett is so cool for being a character who stood around and didn’t do anything. Such a shame that he’ll never have a legitimate reason for being cool.
@@Hewasnumber1 he was not cool he died like a bitch in return of the Jedi!
He was accidentally engulfed by a giant hentai monster in the desert and to top it all of he screamed in a high pitch while that was happening.
@@nathanmitchell5217 Are you okay kid?
@@lynic-0091 oh I replied to the wrong person
Perhaps he's in Episode 6, where he's unceremoniously and ridiculously thrown into the Sarlaac Pit By a blind guy. I bet you liked that ending for him much more.
Man, back in the mid 90s, I was obsessed with Robert Rodriguez. I read his book, Rebel Without a Crew, and El Mariachi and Desperado inspired me so much, I wrote one act of a rip-off screenplay called "El Bandido" and I was going to make the movie just like Robert. From Dusk Till Dawn was amazing. Even Machete and Planet Terror were pretty good. But dude, either he got old or lost some of his mojo or something, because Boba Fett was without a doubt the single most boring piece of Disney Star Wars since... Well, since 2015.
Just sad, really
I am right there with you. I didn't think Robert Rodriguez could do any harm..as a huge fan of his myself, I just don't see how the man who made from dusk till dawn and sin city could possibly mess this up..but he did. He did royally. I think this is what happens when good old indy film makers play in Disney's sand box
I broke up with star wars a year and a half ago, and this show made me glad I did.
Every time I look back I see what was wrong and how great it was to leave.
Book of Boba was the last Star Wars show for me. I was insanely hyped for the Kenobi movie about 5 years ago, and today I didn't even watch the Kenobi show, and I don't regret it at all. I did watch a few clips on CZcams though, that's about it.
Mandalorian season 3 is still something to look forward to
How do you break up with a movie franchise?
@@realoriginalnamestudios I straight up divorced Star Wars. I can link pics of the legal papers if you want. Star Wars is dead to me.
@@brandonsmith7827 Please. Mandalorian is so overrated. It's not bad though, but it is getting repetitive.
Imagine owning the SW license and not producing a single, worthwhile thing with it.. That makes what? 5 films and 3 tv series? ALL SH*TE
this makes me worried about all the other anti-heros under disney, i highly doubt we will get a better deadpool.
Oh I've been waiting for a video for this exact topic. The most dangerous bounty hunter in star wars history, reduced to a pudgy scarred man that lived with sand people for a few years to ultimately become a "Major" crime lord with morals that made his roll in the story feel extremely miniscule in the massive galaxy of star wars.
The Book Of Mediocre Fett
He's a crimelord who does not do crime, how did no one in the writers room speak out about how lame that is? and the fact he's never respected or feared does not help, and that cyborg gang were the lamest goons ever.
@@chasehedges6775 Exactly
@@isakisak9989 Disney has just watered down star wars is all, I got so bored of the book of Boba Fett that I had to force myself to make it halfway through the episode 5. I never even finished the series because of how stupid and nonsensical it was for one of the most iconic characters in media.
@@isakisak9989 He's not a crime lord. That's who he's taking over from, and they overuse that term to simplify his position to the viewer. He's actually a "daimyo", which in Japanese means "lord of the land". He's essentially the feudal lord of Tattooine. He protects the land of his subjects and turns a blind eye on their indiscretions in return for tribute. He brings order and prevents trespassers from taking over.
To be honest the Sarlac Jumpscare actually got me and I new what was about to happen
honestly I liked this show more than obi-wan, purely because it actually made me feel something (even if it wasnt a good feeling). Obi-wan made me feel NOTHING at all.
I'd rather hate something in star wars than be indifferent about it.
Really? For me, nothing bad I felt watching Book of Boba Fett came close to how angry Bail Organa's message made me in Kenobi. He compromises the Jedi's most crucial secret, and jeopardizes the future of the entire galaxy because the guy who wasn't supposed to call him wasn't calling.
At the end of the show when Obi-Wan and Bail met on Alderaan again, Obi-Wan should have punched him right in the mouth for nearly getting Luke killed.
I really like the book up with it but I only slightly like the Kenobi show more it finally somebody that isn't hating on it for once you have a good day

The Kenobi show is just an abomination. Can't believe people praised that show.

Please god let this happen
the prequels already did that
Shilling for the mouse
@@reek4062 lmfao no
A character can only be as intelligent as the writers. Don't expect more from the fools Disney has hired to write and direct their movies.
I love these essay style videos you make man! They're always so funny and articulate. Keep making great content!
(Also do Kenobi next).
They should've added three more episodes to make the season an even 10 episodes, and base those 3 episodes on Boba Fett having flashbacks to his bounty hunter past, and we see him taking ruthless jobs for the Empire. That way, when Cad Bane accuses Fett of being a murderous bastard who worked for the Empire, we'd actually remember him doing horrible things for the Empire outside of helping Vader track Han Solo. That's not horrible, that's just being a professional. Horrible would be Fett torturing and slowly incinerating a rebel captain for info. Or Fett going after a criminal wanted by the Hutts and blowing him up into giblets with a rocket to his mouth. Or Fett trapping a Jedi Padawan into a situation where the Jedi gets disintegrated painfully, his last words being cries of mercy or calling to his master for help, while Fett looks at him with a cold stare full of disdain and hatred for the people who took his dad away from him.
I would've preferred they had the extra 3 episodes and made THOSE about his escape from the pit and the tribal episodes, leading up to the big fight for the 10th. I like the idea of his time with the empire coming back to bite, but I think that could be better done in a current timeline when he's established as the lord of the area. The biggest issue with the show is really the pacing, as someone else said, it was like they were still writing as they started the series.
Disney has the issue of thinking just throwing familiar shit at the screen with little good stories, is sufficient
You can thank the decade of OT purists whining for that.
I can’t think of a single part of this show that didn’t fail to disappoint. Literally everything from Boba himself to Black Krrrsantan, from the sarlacc escape to the show’s idea of cyborg criminals, everything fell into the negative.
It basically succeeded in its mediocrity
The cyborg goons could have been cool, in canon we do have terminator looking cyborgs, but no we got some akward looking cyborg zoomers instead, also did it bother you how no one ever use their blasters? they go in for a fist fight even when it's easier to just blast the guy.
@@isakisak9989 especially the main biker girl. She really could have been interesting
@@chasehedges6775 can't really say, she barely had screan time, but her modification was stupid, cyborg arm with flesh hand? that hand is going to get crushed if she accidentally uses it for a punch.
@@chasehedges6775 luckily they did not, there has been no leaks of a 2nd season so it obviously failed viewer and audience wise, they just won't addmitt it publicly.
I agree with most of the video except for the idea of cad bane going for a cheap shot at Boba because in one episode of the Clone Wars Obi-Wan disguised as a bounty hunter enter a bounty-hunting challenge with cad Bane and other bounty hunters but when one of the Bounty Hunter's tries to go for a cheap shot towards Obi-Wan cad Bane saves his life saying if you're going to kill him do it with honour
One thing I would like to point out, Fett and Bane were mortal enemies, not friends.
Honestly, Vito, you make a lot of extremely good points here. I do hope Disney does allow Dave and Jon to fix TBOBF so we can see him regain his former glory as an undisputed badass like he was in The Mandalorian, but I guess we'll just never know now what they have up their sleeves for the future, in terms of future Mandalorian/BOBF developements.
Indeed. Hopefully, they’ll fix it at some point but, as now, it is very uncertain
The only thing he did in The Mandalorian was beating up a few lake ass disney stormtroopers. I have much higher standards for "undisputed badass" than that. Also why the heck did they randomly turn him into a rebel? Wasnt he supposed to be a villain?
@@abraham2172 He's a Bounty Hunter, not an Imperial. Besides, Boba does have a moral line about various things.
@@chasehedges6775 You realize that it is because of them that boba fet is an essential character and that they don't even care.
Wait they just killed cad bane off like that? Bro they had a good stand off in a clone wars cut episode. Why did they bring cad back like that
Next Disney Series:
- The swamps of Daggobah
- Tatooine: secret world
- The Kalrissians
- Cheewaka Vs Maul
- Rankor!
- Dooku Vs Maul: duel of mates
- Solo 2: With a revenge
- Water Condensers for farming facilities in desertic planets (Tatooine edition)
- Sunset at Hoth
- Grievous: the musical
Can’t wait.
Honestly the worst part was what they did to Luke. The choice he gave Grogu was hypocritical and sociopathic.
As much as I sympathize with you, please do Obi-Wan Kenobi. Your reviews are better than the shows themselves.
Kenobi is perfect
@@reek4062 Lmfao Kenobi is a dumpster fire just like this.
@@lynic-0091 Kenobi is perfect.
@@reek4062 The only good thing about Kenobi is that the stupid inquisitor girl got stabbed by Darth Vader but she has plot armour so that scene kinda got ruined too

Boba Fett was god awful. It should’ve focused on individual stories and bounties of Bobo fett that may have led up to one bad guy at the end of the show not spent the whole show on the Mandalorian it was basically Mandalorian 2.5
Agreed💯💯
One thing that made me frustrated with Boba Fett was the interpretation of the Tusken Raiders: famously known to beat farmboys and kill farmboy mothers for 45 years and suddenly they act like the Talz in Book of Boba Fett?
Killing Bane so early on was such a waste of a good villain. So many possibilities. How do people with so little talent get those writing jobs? Even the fans are coming up with better ideas.
"Its a big club and you ain't in it."
I was very annoyed when people were excited that baby Yoda came back already. like that completely undoes the entire second season. why not go with season without him so we can focus on the Mandalorian more and then maybe in the fourth season the fall of the Jedi Temple can happen and he has to go save baby Yoda and then we're actually seeing the fall of the temple in real time
Disney Ruined Star Wars. It's dead to me.
Funny how people want Din who’s a badass mando to lose fights to keep it interesting, but as soon as it’s one of their favorites like Boba, suddenly it’s a crime.
pretty sure Mando was originally written as a boba show but Disney didn’t want to do big characters anymore because of Solo’s failure so Jon faverou had to basically changed boba into faceless a Mandalorian
What I’m getting at is all the cool stuff that boba would do has been given to Din, disneys interpretation of what a Mandalorian should be.
And disney Mando’s aren’t the ones that kill 6 Jedi in hand to hand combat. No no they give them jobs guys
This was released on the same day that boba fett got 4 Emmy nominations
Boba Fett died in ROTJ. Continuing to kill off characters and then retroactively saying "no, he didn't REALLY die" is so silly. And it makes all of these stories pointless, because they can just reverse everything whenever they want to (and often do). Silly.
Agreed. Reminds me of "Somehow, Palpatine has returned". It's just total BS, through and through. Pure lazy writing at it's worst.
It takes away all tension. Literally no one dies now, except for stormtroopers
Ok to me the gamorians not being killed by boba and him giving them a job actually made sense
Disney still believes that star wars are more for kids than adults. Leaving most of the mature star wars content out the window left with cheesy writing.
Soooo true.
Revenge Of The Sith felt more for teens/adults, honestly
"we like jokes" "jokes are funny" great stuff.
Dude you stole my version of if I wrote the Book of Boba Fett. I love seeing my idea of Boba fighting his past through Bane. I love knowing that my view point would have been liked by others. Thank you.
Great video! I love your commentary, humor and overall production. You can see you worked really hard on this! One of these days you gotta share your story: like your career path (youtube, card game maker, comedian, comic book writer). It would interesting to hear (for me anyway!). Keep up the great work!
It would be complicated to explain...
10:30
Calling that girl 15 is an insult to all 15 yr olds
You're on point my man! Great video! Let's hope some of the Disney hacks sees these kinds of videos and actually makes an effort to give us some sort of decent story telling with some creativity, imagination, and well developed characters. Much love from Canada my friend 🇨🇦 keep up the great work!
well it makes sense for mando to stand out (he's bullet proof) the same cannot be said about bobait would've been cool to see mando out in the open eating bullets while boba sniped them
Yeah as far as a know bobas armor is just an imitation, not actual Mandalorian armor, so it has minimal Beskar, if any
Say Vito, did you grab an old hockey video to use for sound at the start of this video? Brings me back to the 70's. Nice.
Darth Maul made a better godfather than Boba Fett. He gathered allies, defeated other crime families, and assembled a galactic underworld's worth of allies and minions for him to use. And just like with the Godfather, the life of crime ruined Darth Maul, because he literally attracted the feds' attention (Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious of all people) and he got crushed like a bug. Boba Fett seemed more like a friendly neighborhood town sheriff than a crime lord.
After finally finishing Kenobi, which was an actual chore for me, I feel I've hit somewhat an epiphany. These shows/movies are all really bad fanfiction. Or at least fanfiction quality, has a massive budget, but is really really bad. Everything(save Rogue One mostly, and much of The Mandalorian) is poorly cobbled together screenplays that are the writers' version of Star Wars. Not Star Wars with their flavor, not quite Star Wars seen through their eyes, but _their version_ of Star Wars. Star Wars has quite a life of its own, not to mention a fair bit that had already been established. The established stuff wasn't always the best, but it wasn't bad for things at the time. But now that it's in the hands of Disney, they feel they need to NOW write Star Wars how they think it should be.
**Edited to say "really bad fanfiction"
Hey don't say that, there's plenty of Fanfiction out there that's way better than this crap.
If you think it's bad now, just wait until they do a full remake of their version of the OT in a few years.
@@thefanwithoutaface8105 No, no, you're totally right. I had meant to say "bad fanfiction", but was so focused on the whole comment I neglected to add that. Consider it fixed. Thanks!
Saying this stuff is bad fanfiction is implying they were *ever* fans of the source material in the first place. While it can be said that at least some of those that work on these projects are, they are not the ones in control of the major decisions that makes these utterly abhorrent crapbowls of mediocrity. Hell, it would not surprise me that those who hate what the original Star Wars stood for are in charge, considering how they treat the material.
@@ForlanceAbice Not really, most of the people who worked on this show flat out admitted they never even watched the movies.
Yep. Totally agree man. My wife and I just recently finished watching Mauler’s (…extensive..) analysis series of both Star Wars: TFA and Star Wars: TLJ. So the trend is fresh in my mind, and The Book of Boba Fett certainly tracks along with it. I’ve been a die hard Boba fan since I was a kiddo (read all the novels and comics), so yes, it’s borderline tragic to see his character get mishandled so badly. Anyway, excellent analysis yet again. Stay safe out in the wasteland (being born out there, I trash-talk it lovingly lol). If you have to flee (as many of us have..) you’re welcome out here in AZ 😂. See ya in the next vid 🦾
I'm coming to AZ once California explodes
Wait till you see MauLer's Rise of Skywalker Unbridled Rage.
@@thesuperintendent4290 yeah, did see that one too 😂 There’s some kind of ‘Ragnar Danneskjöld’ quality in the way even his “violent” videos come across. It’s somethin to see lol
the prequels already ruined Boba Fett
“Yes Disney ruined boba fett by making two shows of a background character that barely have any lines and barely have any cool action scenes except being smacked by a blind guy and nodding his head, and having him in these two shows making stormtroopers look like chumps, made him ride a kriffinf rancor munching on aliens, slaughtering drug dealers in the streets and being an honorable leader of the galaxy’s greatest mafia. Yeah Disney ruined boba fett and I am pissed they didn’t just keep as a background character that gets bested by a blind guy with a stick. I’m very upset!”
I was the biggest fan of star wars. Played all the games. Still stuck to watching the prequels even after the first 2 movies were weak as water.
I gave up after not being able to finish watching Mando, never rewatched the sequels, never watched any of the cookie cutter baby series. I am dumbfounded and awestruck at how bad Disney's media has been and how it still manages to sink to new lows. It's amazing to me how nobody involved can say in a board meeting "hey what if the villains were competent", or "hey what if there's an actual moral dilemma that can teach life lessons"
It's THESE types of videos that keep me a patron! Please do more video essays!
Thanks man. I would like to get to the point where I can somehow make one every other month or so. It's just challenging to find time for all the editing.
@@vito I may be able to assist this summer if you need help?
I will keep you in mind, promise.
12:24 The thing that's annoying is a gang of thugs who modified themselves into cyborgs is an idea that could work and feel right at home in Star Wars. In Predator Concrete Jungle (An underrated PS2 Game) one of the enemies you encounter is a group called the Machine Men who were effectively Russian Hitman who'd modified their bodies with cybernetics to be more effective killers. We should've gotten that instead of the Sci-Fi version of The Outsiders.
Old Boba Fett: "-There's no escape from me! *pew-pew-pew*" 🆚 New Boba Fett: "-You get a job, you get a job & you get a job!"
2:52 3:19 Basically, Boba Fett is every video game player who takes pleasure in making the enemy die painful, horrifying deaths. The kind that would shotgun a man in the face, then proceed to turn the guy's body into giblets with more shotgun blasts. By the way, disintegration weapons in Star Wars are very powerful and painful. They turn you back into your constituent molecules painfully while bypassing any shields you might have. So Vader telling Fett not to disintegrate Han's crew wasn't just him telling the guy to reign it in a bit, but he's also telling the guy to not use weapons that are literally war crime levels of bad.
If Darth Vader orders a whole village to be terminated, his men would just laser/machine gun the populace. If Boba Fett does it, he'd probably burn them all alive with his flamethrower. The difference between the two men is that Vader doesn't take extra delight in making the enemy suffer before they die. Fett does. Vader is content to slice up, gun down, or strangle his enemies. Fett would disintegrate his foes, burn them alive, or blow them into giblets with rockets and grenades. That is how sadistic and cruel the old Boba Fett was in the old lore. Fett's brutality rivals that of Darth Vader, and his sadism exceeds Vader's by a country mile.
It's so weird to see Boba Fett evolve and grow. To imagine he started out as a glorified Uber driver is amazing.
he started off as a psychopathic child cheering his father on to murder a pursuing jedi.
@@ryanbarker5217 I meant in the original movies
Yeah I’m sure that’s why Vader regards him with respect. I’m sure that’s why both he and Jabba trust him to complete bounties. And of course, every Uber driver can outwit Han and rocks battle damaged beskar. What’s truly weird is that you can make such a simple minded statement.
@@GP.Records bro boba fett was already ruined in return of jedi they just made him into a dumbass and they did the same with han star wars actually fell off so hard after empire strikes back
Star Wars died when Disney bought it, end of the story.
Only in the TV shows just go watch the movies and cartoons they're good
Dave filoni might save Star Wars
Baby Yoda makes ZERO sense, given what happens after Mandalorian. As in: no one mentions a "baby Yoda" in the sequels. Ever. Man, fuck Disney-Lucasfilm, fuck Disney-Marvel, fuck Disney.
Indeed.
The Mods are also a nod to Luca, a Disney cartoon from Pixar also about a pair of boys and their Vespa scooter.
💯💯💯💯
Between Fett getting his butt whooped almost every episode to the point of comedy, to the teeny-bopper motorcycle bit, to the fact it basically becomes 'The Mandalorian' halfway through, and how strange 'fake-Luke' looks...it's a bit of an eye opener how disjointed Disney has become.
Indeed. It’s intriguingly bad
it's so jarring when we saw him kill squads of stormtroopers in mando season 2, yet in boba he's just awful at everything.
@@isakisak9989 💯💯
Luke genuinely looks great most of the time in this show. Damn impressive
Yeah...the fact that 2 out of 7 episodes didn't even have Boba in them. They took *two whole episodes* to go off on some different storyline.
I mean, i feel like either way fans would hate on this
"Oh, so boba fett comes out of a sarlacc and sees some random sand people die and than he's a changed person?"
and
"Oh, so boba fett comes out of a sarlacc, sees some random sand people die and he's still the exact same person? Where's the character development!!"
Also one thing, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY HUMANOIDS, IN THIS *”GIGANTIC UNIVERSE”*
One other thing, every character that suddenly wears a Mandalorian helmet:
*”I AM KING”*
And then they stand awkwardly still with their helmets in their hands, and speak to people whilst also disobeying “The way” as a sort of insult to Mandalorians. I find.
Andor was good. Better than anything else disney has made
Andor fucking sucks
@@Misery7531Andor was the best thing that happened to Star Wars since the (I might be overexaggerating) Revenge of the Sith
It is peak Star Wars
It's so overrated like all the other TV shows like they could should just stick the cartoons instead
24:57 well that aged terribly
20:40 i think we can all agree the cgi monster music slave dancing is better than the entire sequel trilogy combined.
Loved your treatment of the story.
One thing I would change is at around the mid-way point after Boba Fett had become a better person and leader (maybe because of a new love interest, a local small businesswoman who’s not afraid of Fett and teaches him how to be diplomatic 😉), the Pike Syndicate comes to Tatooine and tries convincing him to hand over the system to them but he refuses. This causes the representative to give him an ultimatum: We’ll be back in a month with an army. If your answer doesn't change by then, you and this town will be wiped off the surface of Tatooine.
Now, he has to go and convince the bounty hunters and mercenaries he worked with to help him defend Mos Espa. Particularly, a lot of the fan favorites like Bossk, Dengar, IG-88, etc. Most of them refuse, though, as he isn't paying them enough to justify putting their lives on the line. This will also bring the attention of Cad Bane, who thought the legendary Boba Fett was dead and gets hired by the Pikes just to get a chance to prove who’s the best bounty hunter in the galaxy.
The events transpire similarly to the show but when Boba Fett, Mando, and the last of his rag-tag militia look as though they are about to bite it, the giant war droid is blasted to bits as a bunch of ships fly over the city and landing just outside the city which kicks up a bunch of dust. Out of that dust come a literal army of mercs and bounty hunters, most of which were the ones who refused to help him earlier. They then proceed to all run in and wipe out the Pikes from behind.
Then it just proceeds to the fight between Boba and Cad you pointed out.
I actually like the show lol
I really enjoyed the show too! I really liked what they did with the character.
Consoomer
I think the only people who actually liked this show are people who just either didn’t like or didn’t care at all about boba fett
I like these kinds of videos you do. Like many others I was introduced to your channel from your Last Jedi video.
The first mistake was to make the series, to save him from his accepted death, by pretending that he was too cool to have died. He was ruthless and feared, until he came across Luke at the peak of his powers in Return Of The Jedi. It served a purpose from a narrative point of view: show how awesome Luke had become since the Empire Strike Back, and show how the threat from the monster was very real, and increase the stakes from the critical situation that the heroes were facing. His time had come.
Vito really ate his words by calling Andor bad.
I'm sure they could have did Boba Fett being soft but still very skilled but instead they made him weak
Honestly, they should've went more into a town sheriff direction than a mob boss direction with Boba. This show's direction for Boba is nothing on him becoming leader of the Mandalorians in the old continuity. That was a badass direction for Boba.
I never realized how bad Disney Star Wars could get but here we are.
💯💯
Hooray! The "GOTCHAS" are back! The "Rise of Skywalker: A Complete Cinematic Failure" video is what got me hooked on Vito, and the "GOTCHAS" literally have me laughing out loud in every video Vito uses them (to perfect comedic effect, I might add). Vito, brilliant analyst that he is, nailed every single point of contention and disappointment in Book of Boba Fett. If Vito and I lived in the same city, we would mos def be good friends. Thanks Vito for doing your part in improving the internet and for shitting on Disney at every deserved moment, which sadly is just about every project in Star Wars these days.
Turns out Andor did not, in fact, suck. The true miracle of the Star Wars galaxy
i was honestly hoping this show would have had Boba meet Mando a few times without the whole crime lord thing. There Boba could reconnect with the mandalorian ways by discussing and comparing the differences between his father Jango's views and Mando's views on what it means to be mandalorian. That way perhaps Mando can point out that despite having apparently become more ruthless as a bounty hunter, Boba still maintains a code of honour as he kept to his word to help him get the child back. And slowly but surely he remembers more and more of what his father taught him back on Kamino and any potential left over videos Jango left for Boba should he die before being able to teach Boba fully. So at the end Boba does get redeemed with the help of Mando and what Jango might have left behind as well as what Boba might remember from him. And all of this could occur between Boba just helping Mando on different jobs.
Vito, episodes like these were what made me sub to your channel in the first place.
Recently, you've not been making much of them. Please go back to making them. I love your movie analytic skills so much
Great break down Vito. You MUST do the same for the Kenobi series.
Lol, little did he know that the Andor show that “sounds terrible” would go on to be some of the best Star Wars content we’ve ever been given
Any excitement or interest on Lando show will dissappear when people remember L3 will be in it
Kathleen Kennedy actually said "there is no source material for Star Wars."
