I knew I heard that scream from somewhere! :)) good one!
A young Yoda. I wonder if Frank Oz will be back.
Currently watching the 2008 film.
If this does not improve quick it will be a dud for sure. Despite its short run time I got bored the acting was flat and not sure what they were thinking with the monster near the end. Rodriguez is often hit and miss, not much character depth here at all.
I think the show is attempting to make the viewer care, its not working for me its committing the worst sin in TV and Film, its boring..
I'm not bored at all...I think they are making a good attempt at reengaging the older fan base. Favreau is doing a great job of writing these and bringing in the EU stuff...there has only been one episode, give it a chance to pick up pace, it's a TV series not a movie.
There has been two episodes and I have watched them both, this falls well short of The Mandalorian in quality on just about every level.
I watched the Original Star Wars Trilogy back in the 70's and 80's hundreds of times and then some, The Book of Boba Fett is more like the Prequel Trilogy rather than the Original. I like the Prequels admittedly though Book of Boba... for me is lazy and dull.
Everyone goes on about how Boba fett is a cool character. Really? Why? “He’s badass” really? Why? He has 3 lines in the original trilogy.
He’s nothing more than a costume imo
Some of the EU novels and comics give quite a lot more development to the character
Episode 2 however was much better. The pacing and the action were pretty damn good. While it’s interesting to see how Boba got from Return of the Jedi to season 2 of the Mandalorian, I’m more than ready to see him rule as a crime lord and how he fights for his power. I just hope they don’t do something stupid like he’s only doing this to bring peace or to help out the Tusken Raiders or something. It’s okay for him to remain an antihero.
Not a lot of people delved into that stuff.
This is a problem I had with certain EU stuff coming into S2 of THE MANDALORIAN. The show assumes I already like Ahsoka or those armored characters that pop up, so it doesn’t think it needs to do any work for it.
I never bothered with any of the animated junk, so Ahsoka literally means nothing to me, and the show is just wasting my time assuming I’m already invested in characters I don’t care about.
It’s even worse for Boba Fett, because in the OT he was definitively a bad guy and was meant to be killed off. Now this show is apparently trying claim he has an honor code and that makes him okay? That’s BS.
If they wanna make a redemptive story for Boba Fett, at least pair him up with Dolly from MOONRAKER.
This is just mediocre this far. Boba is about as edgy as a sphere and now seems to be another thief with a heart of gold. Describe his character based on empire and Jedi, even the holiday special, then do it based on this and the two are poles apart.
Considering the fact that there were 15 years between ROTJ and TFM there were no films to fill in the blanks or continue the magic for the fans who stuck around. I see nothing wrong with the additional content. I don't disagree that the original content was designed to be a film and not a book but creators filled a need to help develop characters better for fans of the characters that were not the main cast. The Mandalorian itself is literally "fill in the blank" content for the space between ROTJ and TFA. So in essence it is the EU whether you want to admit that or not.
Retconning deaths has become one of the worst traits of this franchise.
Funnily, I’d happily accept Ben Solo’s death undone. But that’s more due to the actor being that good and Ben Solo having more potential. That was never really there with Boba Fett or Darth Maul. They were just cool henchmen that died like all henchmen are supposed to. And as much as I like Ian McDiarmid, having Palpatine come back from the dead was a pointless endeavor as well.
Well there was a novel written not long after ROTJ that explained how Bobe Fett did not die which was outlined exactly in Episode 1 of The Book of Boba Fett...additionally, there were several novels written prior to TFA about Han and Leia's children and the sequal trilogy crapped all over that continuity...so honestly at this point it is all about taking sides on which content you just happen to like. The movie industry these days seems just as good at dividing as the politicians are.
It was a bad idea then, it’s a bad idea now,
Fair enough, you'll just have to wait for TV or movie episodes that won't provide you with fully developed characters that you can "discuss" in forum posts later :)
The problem is not with Boba Fett, Jabba explained that the Sarlacc digests its victims over a thousand years, what you have to take into account is that Beskar armor is the hardest substance known in the SW universe for armor, which is why the Empire exploited and nearly destroyed Mandalore to acquire it for ship building. The Sarlacc was not going to be able to digest it which is how he survived...it was explained in the novel as well as outlined in episode 1. Perfectly logical when you take it all into account...now it would have been a different story had he been killed before he fell into the pit.
All of the stuff with the Tuskens, prior to the events of The Mandalorian, I think is great.
What happens to Luke after ROTJ.
He is one of motion pictures greatest heroes.
Not the garbage they portrayed him as in the sequels, living on a deserted island on his own didn't do him justice.
