The Book of Boba Fett

Three eps in, and a boring plot that drags on and on - Boba trying to be recognized and respected, and he continues to just look lame.

No one can shoot, mercy for every single enemy, Boba can't seem to fight without others stepping in to help (he hasn't used even one of his suit gadgets, yet!), he has hired some Power Ranger wanna be's, and he's going to tame a rancor...?! :(

Also disappointing is that the episodes barely break a half hour!

I'll watch a couple more, but I have a feeling this series is best suited for either Saturday mornings, or after school specials.

Boba Fett is one of the most fascinating and even important characters in the Star Wars saga. He has incredible potential in storytelling. Unfortunately, Disney fell flat in this opportunity to explore more of the Galaxy through the eyes of Boba Fett. They did however fill in the gaps of his past, which was something we definitely wanted to see. Developing the Tuskan Raiders as a people showed creativity and risk from the showrunners.

Boba Fett's character stays consistent with what we know of him from the Star Wars films. Temuera Morrison continues to portray this with ease. Regardless of poor storytelling, we are still committed to this character.

Halfway through, the series falls flat, with a pending climax that the creators knew would not fill up the rest of the series. Thankfully, the Mandalorian saves the day. Two episodes are spent on Din Djarin and Grogu, without even a mention of Boba Fett. This makes The Book of Boba Fett essentially 'The Mandalorian Season 2.5'. The series is 7 episodes long, different from the standard 8-episode length The Mandalorian S1 and S2 followed - another indicator that the writers did not have a strong enough plot to continue the story for that long.

The rainbow biker gang Boba Fett enlists in his rebellion against the Pike Syndicate is a joke. A jarring inconsistency with the rest of Tatooine, and even Star Wars as a whole. They look like they don't belong and are useless to the plot. The character design of Cad Bane is impeccable. This is where the creators succeeded. Identical to his animated counterpart from The Clone Wars, he is a villain to fear. Unfortunately, he didn't get the involvement, development, and screen time his character deserved. So much missed potential here.

This is the first time we see the Dark Saber since the end of the Mandalorian S2, and E7 is almost entirely dedicated to developing the power and lore of the Dark Saber. If you're not going to give us the Boba Fett we want, then give us more of this.

The climax and final battle of the show seem silly and unbelievable. The 'rainbow biker gang' doesn't help with this perception. With all the build-up surrounding the Pike Syndicate, they don't put up a very good fight - and then a pair of massive battle droids that were way too out of place show up out of nowhere.

Overall, the show's purpose was to reintroduce us to a classic character, to let us know he's still alive and active in the galaxy (or just on Tatooine?), to carry the storyline of the Mandalorian forward, and to connect the two main characters. Din Djarin and Grogu are reunited, and ready for their new adventure in The Mandalorian S3.

I actually liked The Book of Boba Fett more than I expected to. After reading all the mixed reviews I didn't think it would be that good but I'm definitely on the side that think it's worth watching! The only thing wrong with it is the casting could be better. Temeura Morrison (Boba Fett) and Ming-Wa Wen (Fennec) both look out of place, you get used to it after a while but they should of chose better actors. They're just not that believable as bad asses when they fight, both being 60+ years old doesn't help. I still liked the story though and wouldn't mind seeing another season. If you're a Star Wars fan or even just a sci-fi fan then you should give this a try.

After the second season of The Mandalorian, the story of the Star Wars universe continues with the iconic Boba Fett. This bounty hunter didn't have much relevance in the films, but he became such a memorable character that he deserved to star in his own story. Jon Favreau, now together with director Robert Rodriguez, returns to using the same formula as The Mandalorian, which is to offer a science fiction story with a strong influence on the spaghetti western. Through the flashbacks in the middle of the series, we see how Boba Fett survived knowing what happened to him in Return Of The Jedi and we can also see how Boba evolves into someone with his own autonomy. Here Boba Fett wants to be a better person than he was in his days as a bounty hunter. The Mandalorian continues to have an important participation in the last episodes, which in part seems to overshadow Boba Fett, but that doesn't mean that Boba is less relevant. They really knew how to create a character that honors both the character and Return Of The Jedi. Despite the great digital effects, there are also some practical effects that can be seen in the series, which help preserve the integrity of the original Star Wars trilogy. Of the cameos that can be seen in this series, Cad Bane's is the most interesting. Beyond the fact that he is a character heavily influenced by western legend Lee Van Cleef, he cannot confirm the events of The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch as part of Star Wars continuity, but what is most interesting is that the series gives clear indications that he was once Boba Fett's mentor. That is something that was planned to be shown in The Clone Wars animated series, but it was not due to its cancellation. Fortunately, a mention of these characters was made in this series. The Book Of Boba Fett is a great series that, along with The Mandalorian, manages to show that Star Wars still has more fascinating things to offer. My final rating for this series is a 9/10.

I really enjoyed it, totallt worth watching!

Recommended.

This is not the best and not the worst of all the star wars films and series, this is however such a underrated series and I had not even heard about it until now but now I am glad I found it and watched, so totally check it out, I guess its worth the watch.

It feels like home watching star wars and you go back to the amazingly created world of that film universe, quite happy that they continue to create even more to watch and enjoy for all who wants to join their creative journey in the film making. It doesent have to be everything new to feel good to watch it so yet again enjoy!
