The Book Of Boba Fett - Disney+ (**Spoilers**)

Didn't know this was coming out! I really liked him in the Mandalorian, so this is a must-watch for me!

They told you at the end of the Mandalorian, you must not have watched the last episode past the credits.

First episode now out

1: This was alright. Could kinda feel the lack of David Filoni in the writing and directing. It didn't feel as deep and thought out as his usual work.

Decebt intro to the Boba Fett story all the same.

Hope the quality improves as they go along.

I don’t think what we see is the immediate aftermath.

I think Boba has been unconscious in the Sarlacc for a few years and it takes a long time for him to actually get out.

My guess is that the flashback scenes take place not long before he finds Fennec. That would explain why he is only just catching up to his armour in Mando season 2.

I like that Fett is clearly going to have to fight for control of Jabba’s cartel and he is just going to be accepted by everyone as the boss.

Also the armour held up pretty well in the Sarlacc - I’m wondering if Boba’s scars are not just from there but something he has gathered over the years. He clearly doesn’t need the bacta tank just for the Sarlacc injuries since he is able to walk and fight when a Tusken captive. I think we’ll find out it is years of wear and tear.

Jennifer Beals to be a regular so just give her a natural skin colour?

Was just checking and it's 7 episodes.

Slow enough start but all setup but do like seeing the pre Mando stuff.

Just finished E1 and I have to say, I can't believe how cheap it looks, which is not something you ever expect to say about Disney, whatever your feelings about them.

Maybe it was just my parents' tv, which motion smooths everything to a ridiculous degree, but it felt like I was watching a Star Wars-themed episode of the original Power Rangers.

There was one part that didn't look that great when using that screen tech they have, and that was the fight scene with the raider after he tries to escape. The lighting looked really off. The previous scene at the camp was fine as they had firelit torches and campfires.

I'm glad they didn't spend too much time on it, but you might see more later on depending on how much time he spends in the bacta tank during the series.

He clawed, burned and dug his way out.

How much screen time do you want devoted to it?

What other way was there for him to escape? Jet pack? That is the most predictable and dullest possible option. The Sarlacc pukes him out? Maybe in the Last Airbender that might happen.

That is possible but I got the feeling that it was more a case that he had tracked the armour that far and just missed it.

I have a feeling I know what is going to happen in the flashbacks - and that you are correct - he wasn’t in the Sarlacc for long but that his time spent with the Sandpeople might explain why he armour stayed “missing”.

I was very surprised when I saw Matt Berry’s name in the credits. Even more surprised on the second watch at how I missed his very distinctive voice (even when adjusted) the first time.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the more of the story unfold about the mayor of Mos Espa. He is clearly someone with power if even his minion wasn’t remotely worried when facing the new crime lord. It could add some political type shenanigans and paper plays to the series.

I’m hoping the parkour assassins don’t work for the mayor but another faction - the more enemies circling Fett the more exciting it will be. Glad that Fett is not being portrayed as a character feared by everyone.

As a fairly casual Star Wars fan I enjoyed it well enough. It helped that I'd just finished watching The Mandalorian but a lot of the significance of the various characters and locations as regards the overall Star Wars universe was probably lost on me. Bigger fans might get more out of it but it had enough in its own right to keep me watching all the same.
