- The Book Of Boba Fett, Disney’s newest Star Wars creation is all types of wrong from start to finish. Lucasfilm has killed the hunter and replaced him with a crime lord who rules over a gang of one. Boba Fett, the bounty hunter that said little and always stayed hidden no longer exists.

Hey All! A little late with this one. I’ve been fighting the big Covie for the last couple of weeks. Let me know in the comments what you think of Boba and his “gang”. And if you enjoy the video throw it a like. Subscribing and sharing the video is always a big help and will make you more attractive to potential loved ones. And hit the stupid bell. Cheers!
The teenagers are kind of stupid.
Waiting for the inevitable Robot Head Covid review...
take care buddy!
I'm shocked you didn't mention the worst part - the skittles biker gang :D
Baba Vanga reference! She would've been a better choice in the director's chair 🤣
Respect to Temuera Morrison for doing his best with what they’ve given him to work with. At 61 years old he’s doing most of his own action and you can tell he does love the character.
Too bad his character has turned into shit
Absolutely love Temuera Morrison, and love his passion.
Too bad Johnny Favs and the gang don't understand the character at all.
@Edward Lee Miller on the other hand, it was also Morrison's idea to remove the helmet as much as possible
@Edward Lee Miller
He really wasn't the chosen one. He's only moderately less awful than the others who have defiled Star Wars. The Mandalorian is extremely overrated.
@@TrueCarthaginian truly overrated
He was borderline villainous in the OT, an ice-cold anonymous badass which made his character cool to begin with. Now he's just a nice old dude in a fancy armor who takes his helmet off waaay too often.
He was in a grey area in terms of good/evil and still is. He wasn’t really that cool in those movies tbh. He stood there, said like 2 lines, died like an idiot. This show shows him way better
@@oXRaptorzXo Yeah, working alongside the worst of the criminal scum, working for the most evil man in the galaxy. Seems pretty grey area to me... Not
@@oXRaptorzXo He did kind of die like an idiot but thats just the Fett bloodline at work. However, the 2 lines he said were incredibly badass. Being able to bargain with DARTH VADER is a huge deal.
@@michaelkubicek5332 he was neither good or evil in the OT. Imperials and Hutts pay the best and that's what it's about for bounty hunters, especially for ones of his caliber
He changed.... thats what tuskans did to him... and he feels so old and damaged cuz he is sarlac fucked him up he needed the bacta to regenerate he will kick ass in next few episodes
It gets even worse when you see he interviews where it’s clear that Morrison knows how Boba should act (particularly in regard to when he should/shouldn’t be choosing to speak) far better than anyone that is credited as a writer for the show.
Got a link?
He was trying to warn us just like Mark Hamil
I think they know they just decided not to do that boba for whatever reason
@@YieM1331 maybe so
@@larniieplayz6285 Not kid friendly enough. I think we just need to accept that Star Wars will never be Dark & Gritty under Disney.
With that said I’m very worried about the Obi Wan series.
Jango's head can't be in the helmet because George himself had the shadow of Jango's head fly out during the decapitation. Amazing how much tiny detail they put onto some things but not others.
I really wanted it to fall out when Jango lifted it.
In my Star Wars it does and did! Just like the Greedo being toasted for threatening Han and the bloody arm on the floor of the Droid hating Mos Eisley.
This show was a layup. Fan favorite character. Literally all they have to do is make a show about him flying around to crazy planets in a space ship and hunting down bounties. That's it! Instead the most fearsome bounty hunter in the galaxy is pretty easy to beat up and decides to get into small town politics.
It's the only thing US audiences understand and relate to - BS politics & nothing getting done.
If they did that, if they made him "fly around to crazy planets in a space ship and hunt down bounties" then people would have gotten pissed because "It copied Mandolorian". I am willing to admit that this show has its flaws, but at this point it honestly feels like one of the only reasons people are shitting on this is because its made by disney.
@@joshuarubenstein2298 "it honestly feels like one of the only reasons people are shitting on this is because its made by disney." Are you fucking kidding me dawg? What a lazy way to wave your hand and dismiss all the VALID criticisms of this terrible fucking show, and they way it shits on a fan favorite character. Did people dump on Mandolorian because it was Disney? Maybe a few people, but the overwhelming majority agreed that is was some of the better Disney Star Wars content. BoBF is a fucking dumpster fire that should have never been made, and is a disgrace to the character, they should have just left Boba in the Sarlaac
@@joshuarubenstein2298 Disney should have realised theres no way they can do Boba Fetts character family friendly.(should have learned that from Carnage but whatever) He is literally described as the cruelest person in the universe.
@@user-pi3hd2bt3f I never heard him described as that. He was no Saint but I can easily think of so many more people who were far curler than boba. He was simply a bounty hunter who worked for the highest bidder, and in most cases, the highest bidder was either Jabba or the empire.
A crime lord that does no crime. This series doesn't know what it wants to be
What is the problem? Boba is getting money from the other families in the city! Why should he make crimes if he gets money for nothing?
BUT THE KIDS DUDE!!!!
He will rule with RESPECT... lmao
@@Julian.31.12 what is the problem is that Boba isn’t being a Savage! We saw in episode 4 Boba just monologuing wit Fennac about he changed and she said which the audience would say the sand people made you soft! Boba chasing a droid like Tom and Jerry like what’s going on with this show
@@ryuusaki7309 he fell in the fucking sarlac. He isn't healthy at this point. There are so many videos which discribe what's happens inside the saralac. And what should he done with the Droid? Shoot it? And alarming everyone? There ar moments to critisice in the show like this cyber teans I don't like them either but the show has great moments and if your read the comics and and watched the unfinished clone wars episode or the normal episode where he tries to kill Mace window you know that he isn't a killer with no honer and kills everyone who he wants.
It's such a shame. Mando is basically what we always wanted from Boba Fett.
No. Mando is not the cold blooded savage that Boba Fett truly is. So no, Mando is not “what we always wanted from Boba Fett”, speak for yourself buddy.
@@jamespratt7627 He's more Boba Fett than Boba Fett was, and they blew all their ideas on him.
@@jamespratt7627 Damn I can tell you're hurt lol. Clearly my point was that Mando's character is more like how Boba should have been. Not afraid to actually kill some people.
Nobody wanted anything from Boba Fett. He was awesome in the OT. The end. Make new characters ffs.
@@JayMaverick thank you, all facts.
We were expecting an amazing Boba Fett show about his life as a feared bounty hunter, but instead we got whatever this is.
They should have focused on his life pre-Empire and re-cast the role. Tem Morrison is cool, but he's 62 years old and not in the best shape.
@@Syklonus the problem is it wouldn't make sense if they'd recast him. Boba is a clone of Jango, who is also Tem Morrison.
@@XenoTronusWeePoo850 He's not even supposed to take his helmet off, so they could cast pretty much anyone.
@@XenoTronusWeePoo850 hate to tell you, bud, but the clones were not all played by him. Very clear shots on Kamino of another actor playing the clones at the right age for this show.
@@mentalmelt well yeah, that's true
If they wanted to do something “positive” with his character, they could have turned him into an unwitting agent of justice by having the New Republic hire him to track down war criminals. His moral ambiguity would remain intact, yet he could still be the star of his own family-friendly series, since he would be collecting bounties on bad guys.
Then you could use his mounting frustration with the New Republic (possibly seeing much of the old Empire in them), that he begins to hatch his scheme to free the hunters. That would be far more interesting than the "Dances With Wolves In Space" we seem to be stuck with now.
@@underthepale Actually, I was thinking that having him hunt down war criminals could give us some insight into how “bad” the Empire was - something that the live-action stuff hasn’t done a good job of. So far, all we’ve gotten is, “the Empire is bad because it blows up planets.”
An Agent 47-esque character. Though, there is that small obstacle that Boba captured and carbonite the husband of one of the most prolific senators of the Republic. So, perhaps an intelligence outfit related to the Republic would reach out to him instead of any official overtures.
That actually could have been cool plus get to see different locations, not just the same place.
That's actually a good idea, and could really add depth to a character, although beloved, is only one note...but of course they are Disney, and they avoid good ideas like the plague.
The Motorcycle chase in Episode 3 was so strange for me, the whole team with that speeder bikes in the different colors I had to think about a grandma on her electric scooter (I think that is the English word for those 4 wheeled electric mini cars for seniors) and it felt so slow too... I couldn't take it seriously
That was the scene that made me realize this series may be doomed. It was sooo cheesy.
“Scooter” is correct, though it’s not specific. “Scooter” without qualifiers can mean anything from a kick scooter like a Razor to something like a Honda Metropolitan. In American English at least, we typically refer to the kind of scooters you’re talking about as mobility scooters. Some people use the brand name Rascal to refer to all of them, a genericized trademark like Jell-o or Band-Aid.
At any rate, yeah, those kids were moving pretty slowly.
@@TBustah thx, I at least heard of rascal before as a name, English isn't my first language so I tried to make it as clear as I could what I referred to ^^
You misspelled cringe
Apparently they were salvaged from the set of a Spy kids movie. Which explains why they were rainbow coloured and gay as butt sex.
To say this show is being made on the cheap is an understatement.
Honestly I was pretty surprised that Boba was so old and weak, the fact he just suddenly turned into a good guy was confusing.
Book of Boba is so blind as to what the fans want. Escaping the Sarlacc should have been half an episode, Boba should be tracking enemies using stealth and tech not hulking around.
Boba fett is very watered down in this show and very safe because of course Disney can’t make a true Star Wars crime show and it has to be very child friendly and the badass bounty hunter is a generic Star Wars character that has no real character
This is exactly how I feel about it after watching the first two episodes. It's not exactly horrible, especially compared to most of the other new Star Wars slop, but it's so safe and sanitized of literally anything that could be perceived as problematic by Kathleen Kennedy and the gang that it just seems so boring. The extremely low stakes, obscenely generic enemies, and boring tropey side characters straight out of any animated Disney movie from the last 25 years certainly doesn't help either.
@@thehoerscorral8565 i agree, but i dont mind the low stakes. not every story need to be saving XYZ, "the galaxy" or massive war. it seem to be they are trying to make a "breaking bad" story. start from nothing to a empire.
Even the original Star Trek show was able to get away with disintegrations.
@@RandomPerson-tz7wk While I agree with you about it not needing to be 'save the galaxy' stakes, I can't help but feel like there should have been some middle ground reached between 'blowing up another death star' and 'slowly walking around and collecting money from boring criminals on Tattooine while padding the runtime with unnecessary flashbacks to a bunch of dumb stuff with the sand people nobody cares about'
@@thehoerscorral8565 I agree with you. It's kinda dumb. But they have to show jango at rock bottom rising back to the top. At this point of his life, he is older than his father and don't want to die like him, dying for money. Got fed up with follow stupid order like a dog for credits to giving order and having people under his wing. Which ain't great, but at least it's different than how Darth maul build his empire in the clone war
“We Mandalorians have a saying. A warrior who doesn't hope for battle has no hope during battle.”
- Canderous Ordo
For clan Ordo!
And thanks to TOR he died waiting for that battle.
@@Ivan_Berni bioware fucking ruined the old republic with that game
But boba is not a mandalorian
@@thecommenter578 boba is not boba in this show
Here is a huge mistake the writers of this so-called Boba Fett show made that no one has mentioned. Boba dug his way out of the Sarlacc wearing his armor. He roamed the desert for a few miles then collapsed and passed out from a series of conditions including but not limited to exhaustion. The Jawas came by and stole his armor. Fast forward to episode 4 and we see Boba return to the Sarlacc looking for his armor. Why is he looking for his armor inside the Sarlacc when he should have known he was wearing it when he escaped? Seriously this has to be one of the worst continuity errors ever made.
Did all that time in the desert fry his brain or what? He should've been shaking down any Jawa he met for his gear
Loads of people have mentioned that. It was dreadful and I agree with you. Just not the bit where you’re saying nobody mentioned it! It’s all over this site
I love how it’s “Disney” instead of John fav, but when mando succeeded it was John and not Disney.
The "writers"
Every episode ends with "Written by Jon Favreu" yet people will never critique his writing and just blame the singular entity "disney" because they're an easier target.
Yeah, that two guys are pretty overrated.
@@sectorgovernor overrated? You seen their track record? One miss on a show doesn’t take from that lol
@@isaiahgarcia163 I agree that it doesn’t ruin their reputation but such an abysmal showing of their skills certainly knocked them off the pedestal they were on before hand.
They need to be held accountable for their failure as writers or else there will never be a need for them to try.
@@shard7549 well I’ve seen what he can do when trusted and free in things like iron man. I genuinely believe it to be disneys fault because it all feels so safe hitting the most easy points, I feel like Disney may well be shooting down any creative ideas after things like episode 8 and solo cost them so much money for letting the writers do what they want
Mando in the very first episode that we see him is closer to how Boba should be in this show as a Crime Lord/Bounty Hunter, he should also be making examples of people who keep disrespecting him instead of letting it slide because it makes him look weak all things considered.
I suppose that this unfortunately may be the reason why Boba is going into another direction.
Dude, EXACTLY and I said the exact same thing! Mando in the first episode seemed more like Boba Fett than this new boba. They should’ve made him just like that and I had felt like they should’ve kept Mando ruthless instead of turning him into such a light hearted hero.
@@zakhoyt7771 i think that's the whole point of how they are handling the bad guys in the show. They want to keep them bad enough but mostly the anti hero with a heart of gold.
However, Bobas new out take in life isn't that wired for the character. During TCW you seem him struggling a little with his good side.
Here he's decided to keep a balance. Kinda further pushing the themes of SW as a whole
@@drnobody418
At least you understand.
Boba Fett wasn't really a character in the original trilogy. And he should've not be brought back. Him dying in the Sarlacc Pit was good enough ending to his "non story"
Mando: Keeps his helmet on at all times even when trying to connect to his idiot baby
Boba Fett: Takes his helmet off when surrounded by enemies on rooftops
Lets be fair, there was money in that Helmet and he didn't bring a bag.
Boba isn't a Madalorian so there's no reason to keep his helmet on 24/7; however, they have him wandering around helmetless when he should be. Terrible writing.
@@readhistory2023 He had the helmet on at all times in Mando once he had his Armor back, it just feels anticlimactic without it.
@@readhistory2023 Boba may not be a pure Mandalorian, bit that's because Jango considered modern Mandalorians cowards and traitors. Both Fetts carried Mandalorian culture, just one that didn't follow the Death Watch.
@@ZeroB4NG Are you serious, or being sarcastic?
Why would you go get money and not bring anything to put it in?
Temuera Morrison is giving it all he's got, and his excellent physical shape for his age (60!) juuuuuuuust about hides the fact that the character magically aged 20 years overnight because the studio wanted to keep both the character and the legacy actor. (That Sarlaac juice and Tatooine sun must be really harsh on the skin)
Temuera Morrison should simply be the voice, he's way too heavy, and old to do the action scenes, He should be taking his mask off as much as Dinn has with Morrison doing like 2 scenes maskless tops... They should have a sleeker guy wearing it.. he looks, and feels like a bad cosplay. He gained weight, and strength in the pit? Also whats with the Darth maul outfit? Why'd they make him a tuskan raider...
He's supposed to be a stealth, sharpshooting, gadgets using, jet pack using masked bounty hunter who is super efficient, and deadly, who will do anything for the right price with no remorse... Not some huge, super strong bald barbarian with a curly stick who's this nice guy with an honor code.
Hopefully they make him ruthless in season 2, change his costume to more accurate, make him wear the mask more, slim him up, show him using his jet pack, blaster, and gadgets how he should, and hopefully they change that he had a plan all along, and he's always been this ruthless bounty hunter...
@@randomrecipes5007 let's not hope for a season 2. This show has been a shitshow
@@randomrecipes5007 agree with everything you said. Lol “Curly Stick” I’m not fond of his new appearance either.
He's fat af. I don't know where you're from, but being fat is far from excellent physical shape for a 60 year old. Liam Neeson is 70 years old and he looks great. Heck, 10 years ago he was still great.
And made him the only actor I know of to play himself and his son
Never underestimate Disney's ability to fuck something up.
As long as they get the money to the bank before closing time it's all good.
Indeed
To be honest, I feel kinda bad for Morrison. Up until now, his claim to fame was playing the “father” of a fan favorite character that was effectively ruined by the film he starred in. BTW Boba Fett a few years after ROTJ should look about the same age as Jango Fett in Episode II (Morrison was in his early 40s at the time).
No kidding. Daniel Logan's still an active actor and closer to Boba Fett's own age.
Clones age differently, I guess?
@@phatmantv He was an unaltered clone. No accelerated ageing.
@@DioBrando-jm7uf Yea, well... you're nitpicking. The sarlac aged him in it's gut. It gave him brain damage too. Stop crapping on my Star Wars.
My favorite Temuera Morrison role is Jake Heke from Once Were Warriors. Amazing film.
I love Boba Fett but it feels like he's a secondary character in his own show.
So true 👍
This is a requirement for any Disney product now, which is why they're so boring. Hawkeye? Loki? Thor Ragnarok and probably other MCU movies I'm forgetting? Even Falcon and Winter Soldier? Funny how all of them have Strong Female Character who is badass and strong and independent (and most importantly to Disney, has no weaknesses at all) to help those big bumbling dumb men evade capture or find the bad guys or whatever, and inevitably ends up with more screen time than the literal TITULAR character.
@@thehoerscorral8565 The funny thing is is that as a women I completly agree. I understand it's fantasy but the characters should only be able to do what from their experience, training and size.
They did this on the Witcher tooo
We'll, he does have more screen time than the Witcher.
I’ll say that in the Clone Wars, even in deleted scenes, Boba didn’t like innocents being killed. It was why he had a disagreement with Cad Bane. So him caring about people now isn’t too far fetched, since it was established already.
Weren't the innocents his clone brothers though? Not just innocent bystanders.
@@matthewminelli He did spare that girl who was forced into an arranged marriage in Clone Wars.
Maybe; but not to the extent this show goes through to show he cares about people.
@@matthewminelli nope, it was in the episodes that didn’t make the cut before the show got canceled, right before he got the dent on his helmet
In the Clone Wars he discovered that a cargo he was defending had an innocent woman being kidnapped, and he didn't give a shit. Just wanted to give her to the kidnappers, get the money and dip. Asajj Ventress freed the woman and beat the shit out of Boba, it's kind of ironic.
Him being a crime lord was a cool concept I was looking forward too, the whole sand people thing didn't bother me too to much, but yeah everything else is a bit of a letdown, more so when you realize Mando who is new but has outshined the badass bounty hunter we all knew for 30 years.
Judging up to 4 episode I can conclude that this isn't Boba Fett from episode 5 and/or 6. There's no enigmatic and mysterious Bountry hunter just some quirky Disney Star Wars(tm) protagonist
to be fair, he dint do much from the movie and just some background character. his legend is from the comic/novel which Disney made noncanon.
@@RandomPerson-tz7wk That's correct. One big mistake of Disney to decanonized old lore.
I mean, to be fair, he ISNT the boba fett from episode 5 and 6.
I do think he might have realised that his life that he had led to this point may have been the reason he ended up in the sarlacc pit, eventhough its a pretty cliché and stupid reason (the only real reason that he got sarlacced was that Han is insanely lucky) but its still kind of a reason to change his ways.
@@RandomPerson-tz7wk That's part of why he was great, though. You don't want to overuse/milk something. Even Darth Vader wasn't constantly in the movies, which made things feel even cooler when he was (Rogue One, for example).
Is there no other planet in the Galaxy other then Tatooine? Wasn't this the planet farthest from the center? Why couldn't we get a show based on Corusant? There are literal levels to the planet. A cyberpunk Starwars setting with urban warfare would be interesting.
Imagine Fett doing Fett shit on the deeper levels of Coruscant, like Karl Urbans Dredd. Instead we got Fett on Sesame Street.
Also, Tatooine is controlled by the Hutts. Why would the Hutts allow Boba to take over for Jabba? Wouldn't they have one of their own, another Hutt, take control of Jabba's territory?
Or steal some world building ideas from Valerian and the city of a thousand planets.
@@G360LIVE Not to mention, the Hutts have a pact with one another to destroy any threats threatening any of them, and destroy anyone who brings harm to a fellow Hutt. Where the hell are the other Hutts? After Jabba's defeat, they would probably kill Fett just on the basis that he is even sitting in Jabba's seat. You're correct in thinking they'd send a Hutt to at minimum hold the place in control until they can figure things out. It isn't just a dead Hutt, it's also loss of tight control of a region of space.
@@ForTheOmnissiah Disney completely forgot that many planets are controlled by the Hutt Space
I was baffled when a friend of mine said to me, after I pointed out how ridiculous the show is, that he'll like it no matter what and that he'll support everything they'll do.
I’m sorry for your loss
Unfortunately how a lot of fans are these days. Same thing with halo too.. “I’m a fan so no matter how bad or stupid it is, I’m still going to support it because I love star wars/halo soo much... even if it’s trash it’s still better than other media so I’m going to support it”. It really really sucks
@@Brett77902 I‘m always wondering whether or not people have forgotten what a good game / a good movie is.
@@One.Zero.One101 As well as social media. See "Cancel Culture" and all the other shit!
People prefer living in their cozy little delusional bubbles
Diseny did a great job at turning what was supposed to be one of the galaxy's deadliest people, one that went toe-to-toe with Darth Vader with a lightsaber, into a complete joke.
I had problems with this show within the first few minutes. Everything looks so clean. Disney really doesn’t understand the rebellion/ post rebellion era. Why is a crime infested city on a back water desert planet so clean looking?
...have you seen Tatooine dude
It looks as clean as tatooine always has and these criminals have cash and loads of it, so it's not difficult to understand the potential for them to be able to clean it with scifi technology.
Have you seen a new hope dude?
Also I don't what it is but the camera work just looks so lifeless, crisp and boring. If you look at Tatooine in the OT then in episode 1 it just feels vibrant more cinematic more alive. I would guess that basically film cameras from that era just have an edge. And sometimes as technology pushes forward I think their is a thing as "too much" clarity it leaves nothing to the imagination and everyone just looks like amateur actors standing round in make up and cheap plastic clothing.
I love when fans know better than producers. They’re busy making a series while you’re typing on CZcams.
I assumed when Boba slaughtered everyone in jaba’s palace that he had committed to a plan set to quickly grab power. But apparently his plan just ends after sitting on the thrown. Makes Boba look pretty incompetent.
It's honestly impressive he has the gall to be mad at mayor for not wanting to pay him tribute, my man boba was running a protection racket with two guys
Maybe it's just some random guy with Boba Fett armor than the real Boba Fett will show up and defeat everyone until the power of friendship prevails.
How?
@@One.Zero.One101 they know what he can do they should fear him
Bobas' return in The Mandalorian was legendary and I was very skeptical when they revealed TBoBF. They really didn't need to bring him back and especially not for an entire show. A movie like Rogue One would've been enough imo. The first two episodes is all I needed from his story really. Why can't Disney just grow a pair and experiment a little, like making a movie or series about TOR. Fans are dying for it and have been doing so since the release of the games. I'm so sick and tired of the prequel and OG timeline.
@Force without form yeah but they did it in a horrible way. What I mean is they should follow the source material and not try to come up with new stuff that doesn't make sense
No way they touch The Old Republic
Was with you until tor. Who?
@@isaiahgarcia163 Kinghts of "The Old Republic". A Star Wars video game.
I don't think many fans want Disney to even touch KotOR or TOR considering their... **ahem** track record. Leave those to bioware.
They could make him "good' by making him retire from bounty hunting and returning to his mandalorian roots. That would get them the required morality and preserve coolnes of character. And in the EU mandalorian culture is created very well, interesting and thought-provoking. But that takes imagination what Disney lacks.
Fun fact about the Mandalorian Krayt Dragon scene: the whole "lure it out with banthas and kill it with explosives" was taken right out of Knight of the Old Republic. Go ahead and search Knights of the Old Republic Krayt Dragon death and you'll see how original Disney is
or it was an omage form Dave and John to that very scene from the game. But I get your point
Bro marvel does the exact same thing with their films and Boba’s escape was directly copied from one line of his comic books. They’re using the source material they have, which is all the Star Wars comics.
At least it was made by people who care
Allow me to just say that when I saw The Mandalorian, I saw it as an homage to the scene from KOTOR and I thought it was one of the best episodes of the series as it was executed extremely well.
The point of my comment was just to point out that Boba killing the unnamed beast was Disney ripping off something they had already done, which itself was something that had been done before
This 'see how original Disney is' shtick is getting tiresome.
I remember when I first heard they were making a sequel trilogy, the first thing I said was "Who's gonna play Kyle Katarn?" I was jacked to see Kyle, Jan Ors, Mara Jade, the Solo twins ... then I heard the original cast (all pushing 70 or older) were returning. That's when I had a bad feeling. And then Lucasfilm just tossed all the novels, comics, and games out of canon like trash.
Seeing any part of the EU adapted to film in any way should be awesome, should be what we wanted, especially AFTER KK pretended it didn't exist at all. I hate most of what Disney has done with Star Wars ('Solo' was the absolute worst, and that's saying a lot). But I'm not down for bashing a company for any made up reason just because it's in fashion to hate on them. The krayt dragon episode was one of the better ones, and that scene was way better than what we got in 'KOTOR' (I played that game thru 3 times and barely remember the krayt dragon). The krayt dragon battle on 'Mando' was a rare win, let's take our W's where we can get them.
I noticed that Boba has become really naive and ignorant about the world. For example he wants to rule a crime planet not with fear but with respect and Fennec rightfully said that FEAR was the only good way to rule these people and she was correct. His approach about everything reminded me of those RPG games where you can make morally good decisions everytime and things will go your way no matter what. Basically he went for the Paragon path in a world filled with treason, corruption and violence. Realistically he would have been done for a long time ago.
Also that teen gang didn't sit with me right. They looked like they belonged in another sci-fi world, not Star Wars. Cyberpunk yes, but Star Wars no. That speeder chase was awful as well.
Boba is really incompetent as well for some reason. First, why did he approach the Sarlacc so closely? What did he expect to find? His armor lying just there waiting for him? If he lost it to the Sarlacc it would be in it's stomach, not outside where the mouth is... And again Fennec proved more competent than Boba because while he struggled like an idiot with the controls against the grip of the Sarlacc in a stalemate, she actually knew his ship better and made the smart move to feed it a seismic charge. Why didn't he think of that???
And why the hell he had a lot of money in his palace but made the"not having people to fight for him" an issue?
Geez i wonder how would a guy with a lot of money find muscle in a planet filled with mercenaries and gangs? I guess a BOUNTY HUNTER wouldn't have any idea how to fix this "problem".
And again Fennec said the obvious - oh i don't know, maybe HIRE people?
....
Because a man can't have the good ideas or solutions to problems. Need to have a woman tell him/solve it.
Also despite being a relatively short distance away from a "hive of scum and villainy" no-one attempts to burgle the palace while he's out and about with his only compatriot leaving everything in the palace undefended.
Imagine in real life having a mansion in the bad side of the town then going out alone leaving all your doors unlocked lol
Im honestly thinking the stupid way he “died” in ROTJ is what they have interpreted as his primary personality trait. A bumbling incompetent fool.
Can someone tell me why tf is he helmetless?!!
@@YouPube_X I mean. Seeing how he dissapeared in that movie. He may as well have become a character that suffered a joke death. Soooooooo...
What’s frustrating is they nailed him perfectly in the Mandalorian season 2. Thaw character in that show and this show are totally different.
Ironically, it's when the Mandolorian essentially hijacks the show, that I've found the Book of Boba Fett to begin to get interesting
It’s not really ironic. It’s an aberration. They just stuck two episodes of a better show in the middle of it
Boba shooting a missile at the man hanging off the side of the building and vaporizing him with no blood or guts was unintentionally hilarious
What’s even more hilarious is that this self-proclaimed “ruler” walks around with a missile on his back.
@@donkeystyle3200 thats not dangerous though. Explosives dont explode if they are deactivated. So unless he shot the missle its not dangerous
@@miguelzurita3216 its a missile. Its packed with explosives. The explosives dont just magically appear in the missile after its fired..
If you shoot any explosive regardless of whether or not they're "deactivated" they will most likely explode... thats why they're called explosives.
@@firstlast6437 Explosives will only be dangerous if activated. Nukes are dangerous i they are activated if they aren't they can be damaged without being set off. C4 can be set on fire and it wouldn't explode.
There is better criticism to be made about this show:
Like why would Boba Fett even step foot in Mos Espa if he knows his competition is a threat?
Why would he even let the the mayors assistant leave the lobby in ep 3?
What's with the constant contradictions Faverau and Falolini? One moment you say the mayor has all the power and in the next you say he doesn't!
Only positives so far are Tomera Morrision and Danny Trejo
@@donkeystyle3200 look up the tech in an RPG. The warhead doesn't activate until it's a certain distance from the shooter.
It’s crazy how much more interesting and intimidating Cobb Vanth in Boba’s old armor was compared to actual Boba with the armor back. Cobb used the armor much better lmao
Ngl I thought you misspelled cad bane for a second there 😅😂
@@alexwheelhouse4530 same, also seeing Cad Bane made me very happy
No he didn't. Vanth looked so weird in the armor. Boba in Mandalorian Season 2 was perfect.
@@animatedink2529 When did I say he looked great in it? I said he used it better. Boba just sat around in it, Cobb was using it to defend a small defenseless town from any threats to protect his people. That’s a damn good use in my eyes.
You know whats really ironic, this show started getting really good when it stopped having boba fett in it
Yeah and what’s also funnier is the fact that in the latest ep when cad bane mentions boba as being a cold hearted killer when he worked for the empire, that was boba fett he was referring to, not this new Disney boba we see in the show, like it just sucks that Disney turned boba into a bitch, I get he wants to rule with respect but to get respect he has to show others whose boss
@@BRONZALiVE yea exactly, I loved Cad Bane in the clone wars, and I was hyped to see if he and boba fett would have a pistol duel. Knowing disney though they'll probably make boba win and then show mercy, THATS NOT THE BOBA FETT I KNOW
@@nikotsapaliaris4919 Real boba fett is a killer. He has a heart, but he isn’t a weak snowflake.
@@MackingCheese99 I mean sure, he has a heart, but if you've seen the clone wars boba, is supposed to kill bane,
@@nikotsapaliaris4919 I know.
The biggest issue I have with this series so far is that the episode quality swings from good to terrible so wildly between episodes that each week I have no idea what to expect.
Boba also needs to quit letting people blatantly disrespect him to his face so much. OT boba was a cold, calculating, ruthlessly efficient killer that wouldn't hesitate to blast a hole in your chest if you got in his way. He needs to have a line that people don't cross. Instead of just sitting there taking it.
It's also a big red flag that the best episode so far didn't have boba in it at all. If this show has to rely on characters from other shows to keep it afloat, it won't survive past the first season.
I love how you shred the Disney lack of imagination & creativity, as well as the "As a TRUE fan you have to like it even if it sucks" mentality of it's defenders. Keep up the good work & honesty.
The people who are bitching about this series don't have any imagination or creativity. Hence, why they are on CZcams raging about content creators creating content.

You almost forgot, seeing him walk…a lot to see the mayor, didn’t think Disney could top that. Then seeing him ride to the town on that desert animal, then back again was awesome. Then seeing him ride back to town at night was just as riveting.
"Would you like your helmet serviced?"
Best line in the series.
So for your torture part. Boba fett has been know to try and be honorable where he can. Even in the clone wars he was shocked the cargo he was delivering had a girl inside.
For vader torturing Han, it wasn't him directly. He learn to mind his business, so as long as he isn't the one doing the torturing then he is not going to interfere.
He didn't give a shit about the girl, since he was glad they were going to get rid of her. + he wanted to see Han Solo's execution, he wasn't paid for that. He definitely wanted to see him get eaten by the sarlaac.
Him gunning down the biker gang is pretty much the only real boba I’ve seen in the show
And he did it from behind like a b!tc#
I think they realized about their errors and want to fix them, there was a mention in that episode about him becoming such a pussy, and then there's the scene of the wookie, where they gave him a monologue about times being more civilized now just for that wookie to rip off his arm, for me it was like the kind of backlash they inserted with Ahsoka and Luke about Rey's training, for me what that Twi'lek lady said represented what Disney is up to, and that wookie's response what F&F have in mind
@@Mrc4t987 I have a strong feeling that this is all intentional, you can't have Boba going full ham in every episode, then it gets old really fast, this was supposed to be a Movie, he tries the respect thing early on, Fennec tells him he got weak, that Water guy tells him Nobody respects you! ... Boba will eventually flip his shit and go full ham in the final stretch and then everybody gets the Boba we want to see.
Which still doesn't excuse the lame direction in that bike speeder chase or that awful set piece with the shield guys.
We are 4 episodes in and Boba has not even shot anyone with his Blaster yet.
@@YouPube_X and the Bikers that turned around to look what was going on didn't even react, did not speed up, did not hit the breaks to let the spaceship pass, did not split up in 8 directions, did not even turn around and shoot with hand guns... nothing, they just kept driving in formation, straight forward at the same speed so Boba could easily pick off the rest of them.
Man, even when a action sequence is cool and Boba feels like Boba, there is still a Nitpick with it because of dumb unimaginative or rushed direction.
@@ZeroB4NG This is a short series. There’s no time to redeem this turd and as bad as it is, I doubt there will be a second season. This to me is like the sequel trilogy. It never happened.
I kinda wanted him to be more of a badass. They were able to make Mando literally hand a guy from a lamp post be devoured by space wolves and literally cut a man in half with a blast door, why can’t Boba do that?
I honestly think Disney's trying to 'kill' Boba as a character, so everyone wants Mando to be the 'new' one.
Mando series was originally supposed to be about Boba, that's why
I love mando, but that’s because he took what I’d want from boba fett
So badass when it happened off screen with no blood
Because Mando's already done it. Can't write 2 bad ass dudes....way too much work and imagination required
The funny thing is that the flashbacks are the best parts of the first 3-4 episodes lmao
I now believe Boba Fett, like his father before him, is forever cursed to be the coolest guy in the room that has the stupidest things happen to him
Dear lord I didn’t realize just how pathetic bobas “criminal empire” was until you pointed it out. Not to mention they’ve completely ruined everything that made him a badass. He’s not cool anymore and he seems weak.
As someone else said, Disney wants a crime lord show but won’t let him commit any crimes… it’s a lost cause
When was boba ever proved to be strong, he seemed to be a good pilot in Empire strikes back but he was defeated to a blind han solo with a stick, and he missed a point blank shot on luke.
@@sneakylike333 if you know even a LITTLE bit about Star Wars then you would know that he’s supposed to be the best bounty hunter in the entire galaxy
@@sneakylike333 In Legends
And before you say "But Disney decanonized it!", they stole Thrawn, the Dark Empire plotline and many other things from Legends, so they have no excuse letting fans down like this
You’re right in old Star Wars canon people would be fearing Bobba but in his own show he’s disrespected by almost every character he comes across.

As a Bulgarian, that Baba Vanga reference made me chuckle.
Disney: Lets reboot Jaws.
Everyone: Nobody is asking for that though.
Disney: We think Jaws is misunderstood and needs a redemption story.
Totally agree - taking off his helmet and making him the "hero" is just not the right path. Bounty Hunters are rogues, out for themselves, out for the next bounty. Would love to have seen him battling for his quarry against the likes of Dengar and Bossk and having the dogfighting be part of it. Him taking over for Jabba just doesn't feel right at all for his character. He knew he was smarter than those leaders and profited greatly off of them and their needs - he never needed to be one. If anything, his goal should be getting back those who put him in the Sarlaac - namely Luke and Han. Disney knew all this and knew it wouldn't end well for Boba and that they'd have to bring back Lucas' heroes who they try to avoid at all costs. Super lame...
Actually I think they just decided to make him replace Jabba because 1. The concept of him sitting on the throne looked cool, and 2. They had basically given the bounty hunter role to Mandalorian. If Boba continued to be a bounty hunter they would have 2 shows about the same thing featuring identical protagonists. Anyway, something you said which is very perceptive is your first sentence. The reason Boba was so cool is that he was essentially a background character, so he could do whatever he wanted. Now, as the protagonist, the story arc has to follow specific formulas, he's not even an anti hero, he is a good guy who has to get beat up a lot so that there is a pay off when he finally wins. Its basic and boring and formulaic. I hate that this show is so disappointing, I really wanted it to be good, but I saw that the premise was ridiculous a mile away. The trailer for the show showed him killing bib fortuna and sitting down on the throne, and I immediately thought "ok, what now? Hes just going to sit there and replace jabba?"
The whole point is that he doesn't want to be the hunter anymore🥸
@@dylanfarnum4121 Dude even if you don’t like the show the concept isn’t ridiculous at all. Why would Boba want to do other people’s bidding his entire life?
100% agree, this should COMPLETELY missed the mark, he was already not treated right in Mando Se 2.
bruh yall just hate character development
Don’t want to be that guy, but in Attack of the Clones you could see the shadow of Jango’s head fly off after being beheaded by Mace. Hope this doesn’t automatically make me a Disney defender though.

Boba was never a bad ass. Watch Return of the Jedi and clone wars. Jango was the bad ass. Boba not so much tho he did bad ass things some of the times. Doing bad as things does not make one a bad ass.
Boba was never a baddass
@@Gh0stbumbles OT boba was limited by the technology of the time yet his character was still recognised as an insanely skilled, ruthless and effective bounty Hunter and assassin. Would Jaba have kept him around for so long if he wasn’t? Would Darth vader have even bothered paying boba to find Luke and the others? The answer to both of those is no. As for the clone wars, it showed him as a young naive hot head trying desperately to live up to his fathers reputation and surrounded himself with the most dangerous bounty hunters in the galaxy, cad bane beating multiple jedi with ease many times. Do you really think he wouldn’t have learnt how to handle himself against the most dangerous of opponents after so long with said bounty hunters?
@@Gh0stbumbles he was a bad ass LOL. its just disney trying to make bad male characters into pusssay soft wheenies. thats it. its all about ideology and agenda.

I know Star Wars is space fantasy, but it's still feels weird that all these *GIANT* creatures can survive in the desert when there's barely anything to eat. I can sort of get banthas, because they're like space camels (but much larger, and therefor need more food). But a krayt dragon is the size of a whale and isn't sedentary, so how is it getting close to enough calories to stay alive?
Boba Fett in this show is honorable and bland to a ridiculous degree. He doesn't even punish the other criminal lords that refuse to support him. I think Boba is going to be handing out Thanksgiving dinners to sick puppies in the next episode.
Why would he punish them? That was the smart thing to do instead of becoming the enemy of every other crime syndicate on the planet, why do people want Boba Fett to be a murderous lunatic?

Man, don't you just love how Disney has such skill assassinating characters. I wish we could have seen the show where Boba ends up becoming Mand'alor and leads the Mandalorians to glory like he did in the OEU.
That would take too long, no one’s watching four seasons of boba getting his ass beat by Han Solo or acting like a bitch to his family, because that’s all that happened before he became mandalore

Disney Boba Fett is a chump in his own show. He was smarter and more skilled in his Mandalorian appearances. Nothing in The Book of Boba Fett is consistent with his OT or PT established character, or even consistent with his Mandalorian Character. Also, supposed to be 41 years old, but played by and as a 61 year old dude
It is explained both in legends and in canon that the pit gave him cancer, just straight up cancer

In the Clone Wars movie the head flies out of the Helm so it is actually empty when the boy raised it. Would be one hell of a weird scene if he lifted the severed head instead.
I’ve seen people say that the recent episode with mando is the best one so far, that just shows how SHIT this show has been. How tf do you mess up boba fett lol
Boba should have turned that wookie into a coat, here's why:
1. he's killed wookies before due to those hair braids he used to wear on his armor
2. it would fit the mobster movie vibe the show is going for ex. the horse head in The Godfather
3. it would look sick asf

It might have covered one of Boba's legs.
But that would mean that boba isnt a loving respectful docile man. Cant have that.
@@Quincy299 Why would Boba Fett care? Everyone else are expendable commodities to him.
I was very skeptical about this show. They exhausted their bounty hunter character in the Mandalorian. Boba Fett is literally the same type of character but they were pussies and didnt want to use him but after seeing the show's success they decided to give it a shot. Terrible idea.
tbh Boba should've been way more brutal than the mando
He’s done the dirty work of the most villainous characters in the franchise. Your telling me he’s a goody two shoes? He doesn’t need to be evil but a bit of cynicism and self preservation of others would be a great starting point for his character.
Memorable moments from episode 1:
-Boba being surrounded at ground level and forgetting he has a jetpack
-Fennec holding the last assassin hostage... by pointing a melee weapon at him, in an open space, where he's free to just run away
Shooting a explosive at the shield a meter away from his face was a fun one
That intro had me thinking the music was coming from those tatooinians 😂😂
Disney nailed it with Boba Fett! He's the Incompetent, naive and soft character we've come to love. Nothing says crime boss like vespa gang cyborg henchmen/henchwomen, skinny pig warriors and regular spa treatments (I know, bacta tank). I think the inly thing they are missing is a wookie mercenary.

Imagine thinking you know everything about a character based on 6:32 minutes of screen time and four lines spoken.
I love that you used the Jason Wingreen voiceover from "Empire" and not the Morrison voiceover. I like Morrison as Jango, but Wingreen's voiceover was so much more menacing and the voice I always associate with Boba Fett.
Indeed. He sounds more menacing and actually sounds threatening. While Morrison sounds less threatening no disrespect.
I’ve been waiting patiently for content! Thanks Robot Head!🤩😎
Lucas always considered the hunter dead after he fell into the Sarlacc Pit.
This is what happens when a quality director and a good writer are overused to the point where they can't keep up the amount of creativity in good ideas it would take to be showrunners for another property at the same time they're trying to run their first successful show
Let’s be honest. The only real reason they’re going hard on this Boba as crime lord thing, regardless of whether it fits his character or not, is so they can keep the action in one location, because they don’t have the budget to change it up!😂🙄
Blew it all on the Mandalorian, which should have been a Boba Fett show in the first place.
@@aceambling7685 the creators of the Mandalorian feel the same, they originally wanted to do a boba fett show, but Disney didn't allow it so they made the Mandalorian. Disney eventually allowed a boba fett show. (after the episode 8 & 9 fiasco)
@@aceambling7685 Honestly, now that you say it Boba would have made so much more sense. You could instead of Mando have Bobba be the bounty hunter. Start him off as an extremely morally grey character. Imagine the weight of the line “I can bring you in warm or cold from Bobba” and even show him take the shot without hesitation as well one of the times.
Now instead of him breaking with the bounty hunters guild make it that the bounty is taking Grogu to the Jedi. You can then have a similar story to god of war 4 the hardened soldier has to reclaim his humanity to become a father.
@@charlybr0wn226 thats a very good idea, I like the concept of Boba initially rebelling because of his hatred of the Jedi but coming to actually care about the child. Learning how to be a dad because Jango wasnt around to lead by example. Plus its actually a morally grey conflict, Mando is just your typical Star Wars; plucky rebels vs evil empire. Criminals vs Jedi, with a focus on the hypocrisies and unethical practices of the Order, could be very interesting. Blaster battles in Coruscant's undercity, cat and mouse manhunts with noir aesthetics, creative anti-jedi tactics, etc.
@@aceambling7685 Absolutely, you would also be able to maintain his badass status as well. Him getting his ass kicked all the time and looking naive about underworld politics just makes him feel like a rookie. A story about him regaining his humanity allows him to make the transition from soldier to wise elder. You don’t have to make the character lose ground so he can go through character development.
That speeder chase in Episode 3 was essentially an airlock that sucked out any good this show had. At least to me. True, Episode 4 is a good start to make up for it but I feel like the reason this show has so many issues is that the writers aren't anywhere near as smart as they think they are. In truth they're kinda... well, dumb.
probably have to do with budget. they cheap out on certain part to throw it else where.
@@smugplush it's call being financially responsible. They don't get to multi billion company by over spending on projects, which they have first hand experiencing many2 times.
Too bad Lucas sold it to Disney for $$$. if everything was great he should have keep it within the family estate. Like the Tolkien.
Just like with the Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett shows just how much Favreau loves Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess.
In the story board pictures Boba Fett is shown shirtless wearing rags around his loins, which helps with the Conan the barbarian look they were going for, but in the flimed scenes he is wearing white long johns. Why the switch? He looks like he is ready to fly to Neverland with Peter Pan rather than strangle a monster with a chain, and are we expected to believe he was wearing those long johns daily as he was hanging around Jabba's palace?
In less than 10 minutes Lucas accidentally created a legend that stood the test of time. Within less than a handful of episodes they managed to completely destroy that mystique.
Yeah that's the thing 6-7 minutes of Screentime and he is supposed to be this careless bounty hunter forever and you can not change him up?
With Luke yes, it does make sense to critisize the Sequels on how they handeld Luke, because he was an established character! We knew Luke but we didn't know Boba.
So this "UHHH DISNEY KILLED BOBA", is kinda stupid.
@@hmrdev-billnye8166 There was lots of material for Boba in the EU, not to mention he had quite a lot more Screentime in Clone Wars (granted, as KID version Boba, but that still is the same character), Boba in Mandalorian was also absolutely brutal and ruthless, worked perfectly fine (despite some nitpicks with plot devices like the Jetpack or that boulder in that episode, the action scenes were awesome and bad ass and 4 episodes in into Book of Boba, i don't think he has even used his Blaster yet. There are always only glimpses... like when he blew up the Bikers with Slave 1.) ...i don't have a problem with the Story or the plot... but the action scenes always feel lousy in some way. We do have an established Sandbox with Characters and Toys, when the audience can think of 3 tools Boba can use on his Armor that will get him out of a action sequence easily ...and they don't use that, then that looks bad. If you ignore those expectations then those are fine choreographed action scenes with maybe a bit bad direction and weak sauce CGI and sound FX here and there.
It is the same problem as with Iron Man 3, if you don't give the Hero strong enough enemies to fight, you need to dumb down the Hero's ability so the action sequence isn't over in 2 seconds. Like, do you seriously believe these guys throwing sticks and exploding would be a problem if Iron Man just hovered a few meters more in the air and rained a barage of Repulsor blasts down on them? ...pfff ...nah he must go in punching distance all the time and his Armors miraculously keep falling apart while it could take a Tank Shell in IM1.
That didn't make it a bad movie, but my god the action scenes sucked!
And it is the same here, Boba just isn't allowed to use all his toys and go full ham or the action scenes with those weakling enemies wouldn't last very long.
And it is obvious what they are doing, they do the whole "rule with respect thing", Fennec told him "you're time with the Tuskens made you weak", the Water shop guy told him "Nobody respects you"...
What he is trying is not working, he will absolutely flip his shit near the final big battle and then go full ham, ride that Rancor through town, bite some Cat fish people heads off and THEN everybody else will respect him.
The real problem here is that the show is terribly paced with those back and forth flashbacks all the time, just do it chronologically, it is serialized so every episode is just a part of the story and doesn't feel like it has a start, middle and end, like every episode of Mando did!!! (which is why it was awesome start to finish).
And we get a full week to piss and moan about every little "Nitpick" and inconsistency that no one would give a flying fuck about if it was just dumped all at once for binge watching.
They've been doing that with nearly every character. I'm sure Ahsoka is going to get ruined next. Maybe even Obi-wan. No one is safe from Disney's lazy and non-sensical writing.
@@hmrdev-billnye8166 IF Boba never did anything in the OT, this argument would work. However, we see enough of him to know that he is a ruthless person. Vader specifically tells him that he doesn't want him to "dissintegrate" people. We hear him torture people. He puts his mark in carbonite and parties in front of the body. He chills with Jabba, a murderer and slave trader. Now we see him claim he won't be killing anybody and doesn't want people to fear him, after we previously saw him torture people and hang them up on walls for eternity. If they spent the whole show giving him an arc where he changes, sure. They didn't, though. They skipped all the leg work and now he's suddenly a good guy for little reason other than "he came close to death" which could realistically make him even more ruthless since he's unwilling to let people hurt him.
@@hmrdev-billnye8166 careless? he was pretty focused on his job. He outwitted Han Solo and stood his ground with Darth Vader in the process. Yes if you want to develop his character then by all means do so it has been done to varying success in the EU and prequels. The key is you actually have to set that up and tell the story the writers just made his character do a complete 180 because they needed it. He went from a hired gun that worked for some of the worst people in the galaxy and had to be warned “no disintegrations” by Vader himself to “go make bantha babies” and let’s street punks walk all over him without any redress. The actor himself said he was talking to much and was out of character and he wasn’t even in the original movie.
I miss the Boba Fett that had to be told “No incinerations.”
No disintegrations
No investigations.
No associations.
No Russian
No negotiations.

Temuera Morrison waddles around, falls on his back too much, looks sad and lumpy in the armour, and his shooting stance looks so wobbly. He does 0 crime as a crimelord and gets fked over by everyone in Mos Espa.

Well in some EU he stripped it off as he was crawling out cause of the fact he was covered in acid… he was basically naked.
Only thing he knows is he woke up enslaved by Tuskens and they clearly didn’t have it..
So only solution is to start at the point of origin.
Huh? When the Jawas hit him? My point is he likely doesn’t even recall that or even how he got out…
I haven’t watch a Disney plus show since Loki and I’m pretty sure I haven’t missed out on anything
Wow the Sarlacc pit must have completely changed Boba, into another character entirely.
To be entirely fair.
Do we really want another show about a bounty hunter making their way in the galaxy?
Like honestly. What would be the end goal for Boba Fett?
He's an old man that is more comfortable at a dinner table than in a suit of armor. His posse looks like discount Power Rangers
The issue is Boba is not a character with self determination or any wants, needs, or goals.
He is fucking flat, with people coming to him for anything to happen and Boba being the exact opposite of proactive
-His underlings have to tell him to go collect tributes, a mundane foot soldier job.
-assassins come for him and he doesn’t win against them, his goon squad bail him out. He does NOTHING in retaliation to assassins being sent to kill him. It’s forgotten about entirely
-The huts have to come to him to threaten him, a go nowhere conversation.
-the people have to come to him to plea to stop shitty cyberpunk gangs operating on his territory. He pays quarter what they owe then offers them a job. In an attempt to make him look “diplomatic” he’s just pissing on his own people he’s meant to be taking protection money for
-The Wookiee krrsantan has to show up to his place to attack him. He gets beat up and his goon squad have to protect him
-it’s Fennec who suggests to him to get more than 8 dudes to run a crime syndicate.
Since becoming a crime lord he’s a lazy fuck of a non character. With Fennec and Garda fwip having to lecture and brow beat this legendary bounty Hunter into doing anything.
It’s frustrating and impossible to watch when your main character is a plank for motivation and a wet wipe in “diplomacy” forgiving insult after insult making no proactive moves.
Boba Fett never had much of a character to begin with, He literally just looked cool in the original trilogy, and then got anticlimactically killed off like a loser.
Yes, but a premise like that could still work if it has smart and intelligent plots. Boba needing to resolve all kids of disputes and conflicts in ingenious ways could be quite good. There is a star wars graphic novel about Jabba the hut that contains three short stories in which Jabba deals with rivals and problems and it was very interesting. Can't remember the name sadly.
Props to you for using the OT footage of Boba with the original audio!
They actually had the nerve to put Boston Dynamics robots in the show. (13:00)
I am proud to say i havent watched the show. When I heard the show was coming out, I said, “Great. They just destroyed his character.”
Same.
I kept telling myself "disney is gonna redeme themselves with this, noway theyre gonna fuck up", then the show came and i was blasted back to reality
What ever do you mean? I always wanted to see cyberpunk reject youths with 50's brightly colored vespas partake in literally the slowest "chase" ever put into a motion picture. I love that boba fett is a goodie macgoodface now and has literally only shot a blaster once in 4 out of 7 chapters. I was absolutely extatic when boba just kinda forgot he has a jetpack, a flammenwerfer and a blaster on his hip, and instead chose to fire a high explosive rocket at an enemy standing 2 feet away from him holding a shield. I am paralized with joy to watch how boba, instead of mowing down anyone who gets in his way (as he has been established to do in cannon and the EU) chose to reenact Dances with Banthas for more than half of the series, supporting the tuscan raiders (despite the fact George made it clear the tuscan raiders are murdering pillagers, who also happened to kill Shmie and kick off Vaders ark). My absolute favorite part was when boba told fenec he needs her help to "retrieve my fire spray gun ship", might as well have said I need your help to retrieve the NOT SLAVE ONE. GET IT? It used to be called Slave One, but now we can't have that! That's a baddie word! We wouldn't want to hurt anyones precious little feelings now would we? IT'S NOT SLAVE ONE ANYMORE GUYS!!! YOU CAN CALM DOWN! PUT AWAY THE PITCHFORKS! WE SOLVED RACISM BY CHANGING THE NAME OF A FICTIONAL SHIP IN A FICTIONAL WORLD! (fuck my ass, mouth and tits! such bullshit I swear...) {Fun fact, it's still called Slave I in Star Wars Battlefront 2, so suck my dick disney cunts} And who can forget how african american Chewie went to assassinate boba and only bothered to bring what appeared to be taser knuckle dusters?(what the fuck?) despite the fact we saw him carrying a big fuck off gun earlier. Amazing stuff all round.
Fight coreography looking like an 8 year old child came up with it while bashing toys together in his room.
They should have called the series: "Lawrance of Tatooine, but worse... way way worse"
Dont think about it, just consoooooom - Disney to gullible normies.
This entire series has been a disaster, like mandalorian and the sequels, and it's breaking my heart, but what's even more heartbreaking is watching Temuera Morrison in interviews saying how unhappy he was with the writing and plot points, which reminded me about how unhappy Mark Hamil was about Luke!
As if I didn't have enough shit to be depressed about already... fml
At least EFAP are tearing this shit apart and providing a small amount of satisfaction.
Guys, its a bad guy from star wars, of course disney would ruin it somehow.
Another great bad guy to add to the list of losses.
Stormtroopers;
Grievous;
Darth sidious;
Dark troopers;
Boba fett.
Anyone else has a name to add to the list?
