Starts December 29th.
It is flashbacks though even if it comes in dreams
I don’t what sparingly using flashbacks means. Arrow devoted a fair chunk of each episode to true flashbacks. It was neither excessive nor inadequate - it was t r amount they needed. It wasn’t used sparingly. It just used what was needed.
Same for Lost.
I don’t believe there was any part of the flashbacks so far that was unnecessary
you seem to think - which but do you think is too much?
I wasn’t expecting the show to explain what lead Fett to this point - as I assumed it was a lust for power and wealth so I was looking forward to gangster shenanigans and a lot of power plays and shoutouts
however once they started showing the Tusken culture and that Fett was adopted into the tribe (as someone aid earlier Dances with Tuskens - there are a lot of other old westerns with the whites join the natives - and I was hooked on that too.
now you aren’t even posting about the show
com on - spill the beans on how you have so much free time to spend decades hating Star Wars
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder!
I would hope it doesn't go that far and that it's just a deep respect between two warriors, and maybe there's some tragic element to it where she dies and it's related to Bib Fortuna in some way.
I don't think that's what's going to happen. Apparently the Sand People are hideous under all that wrapping. So hideous even a 60 year old fat bloke would pass on them. 😄
Maybe someone can tell me if I’m wrong but the Tusken who is teaching him to fight looks female.
If this goes full on Avatar/Dances with Wolves then he will have a love interest in the tribe.
Using the term flashback was incorrect because there’s nothing flash about them. This whole episode seemed to be in his dreams.
I’m ok with flashbacks being used sparingly to explain why someone is doing something in the present. Shows like Arrow season 1 done it fantastically. You have the protagonist make decisions in the present and the “flashbacks” help explain their motivation.
I just think they are trying to tell stories in two timelines in parallel in large chunks and I’m far more interested in the present day timeline than spending more time in the desert with the tribes.
Episode 2 was a serious step up!
That whole section on the train loved it! I still find the whole two stories takes you out of things a bit....he doesn't half spend a lot of time in the bath healing up!
It's a strange show. Very little dialogue, and the main plot about Fett trying to keep power doesn't interest me at all. I am enjoying the flashbacks though and it's compelling enough for me to stick with it.
This is why Star Wars fans can't have nice things
Find nothing wrong with this show so far , it's a slow burn that is moving through two timelines past and present for 30 years people have wondered what happened to Fett after falling in the Saarlacc pitt , flashbacks are showing this and how he got to the point we last saw him and Mando
and also progressing where we last saw him at the end of said show , also before Mando Fett has had 6 or so minutes of screen time and was always that looked cool , he's had no literally no characterisation at all till now
Did you write this? 😬
Well that went right over your little head didn't it.
🤣
This is crap. Beta Fett being a good samariton and forming good relationships with the sand people doesn't interest me in the slightest. He was better off back in the sarlacc's gut.
I don't get the "really bad costume design" point, it looks pretty good and faithful to me, but okay.
The story appears to be about how and why Boba decided to take over Jabba's seat of power on Tatooine and the aftermath of seizing power from Bib Fortuna. The flashbacks in the bacta tank are showing how his growing respect for the Tusken's and their way of life is changing his mind about how things are done on Tatooine and feels they have been disrespected, marginalised and misunderstood. Not just them, either. The swoop gang terrorising the moisture farmers was focused on in the first episode. Boba wants a change with how things are done. His "Jabba ruled with fear. I intend to rule with respect" line says it all, really. Whether it works, or not, remains to be seen.
If course there is a story. Every movie and TV show has story. They might not have a story you like, or understand or that is any good but there is story.
If it bores you then why watch it.
I really don’t understand why people watch TV they don’t enjoy. If I watch part of a movie movie that I’m Not enjoying and I give up I annoyed that I lost 20/30 minutes of the day but a half hour or hour every week?
I would love to know how you folks have the time. seriously. I can’t even figure out how you guys have time to post here outside of work. I only come on this site when I’m at work.
Can someone tell if there is an actual story here and what it is because if there is I am failing to see it and it's boring me to death
Maybe its the paper thin story line that is making me notice the really bad costume design on the aliens
Yes it is “LOL” because they don’t thank you. They are confused by you.
As much as Disney suits and shareholders love the money, they too are perplexed by people who pay for something just they can complain about it.
Any way, the Disney shareholders thank you for subscribing.
LOL 🤣
Yeah right.
Now that was really good. Cracking sequence with the train. Love the theme music at the end, very morricone-esque. Also noticed that Dean cundey is the DP, the same Dean cundey who was the DP on The Thing, Halloween, back to the future to name but a few.
It is never specified who or how many he disintegrated.
It may have been only one and the individual or the situation became famous. And it may not have been a person or people.
There are no prostitutes in Star Wars. Just a bit of incest.
And I think it was the action figure that trigger the cult of Boba Fett. I read something about it years ago and I think that was the conclusion.
What is the scum bag profession?
Not all bounty hunters in Star Wars work for or are willing to work for criminals. Not do they all hunt people for money.
A bounty hunter is a gun for hire.
And young Fett is shown with a decent streak.
I don’t know where you get the notion that Fett kept anything “deep down”. He barely gets ten minutes of screen time in the OT and even then is just standing around looking cool. He shows no personality nor anything of substance. Hence why I said nothing in those films shows him as a remorseless killer or that he doesn’t have a decent streak. He is pretty much a black canvas for this show.
As Ming Na Wen said, Fett and Shand are neither good guys or bad guys. They are something else.
I think phrased some of that badly.
I didn’t mean that he thinks it would be a bad idea to kill the Hutt twins, the mayor, etc
What I meant was he thinks about the situation first. He isn’t going to be shooting rivals for fun or killing minions for making mistakes.
I like the Hutts are portrayed as being clever too. Probably weren’t prepared for Fett to stand up to them. Smart enough to think it through as well.
What Shand said was intriguing - if Fett is going to take on the twins he is going to need permission. I wonder from who? Hutt leadership or does there need to be a meeting of crime cartels where he’d have to make a case for going after them.
I liked the opening episode. Was fun.
Good ol Boba Fett disintegrating people and working for a whore master. I kinda forgot why he was such a favorite amongst fans.
Boba Fett is a scumbag with a scumbag's "profession" who was famous for disintegrating his targets, so much so that even Vader had to tell him not to do it. He works for an even bigger scumbag in Jabba the Hutt, who fed people to a monster for entertainment, kept sex slaves and ran drugs. Even as a kid Fett was a little shit.
If Boba Fett has a "decent streak", he must have kept deep down inside.
Next up, 'The Book of Dengar', in which we see that he's actually a jolly old fat man with a wife and two kids that absolutely adore him and who gives presents to the local charity during Life Day.
he isn’t quick to kill people like the Gamorreans or the mayor or going to war with the twins because killing them and going to war might not be the best option - he thinks.
He doesn't think, he knows. Killing a Hutt brings down the wrath of all the Hutts. Kinda like killing a made man in the mafia. He isn't ready for that.
He is a crime Lord and a killer so I would not call him a goody two shoes
and he doesn’t like seeing the Tuskens suffer or get pushed around - he has decent streak
but he is still a crime Lord and a killer
Nothing on Empire or Jedi showed him as quick to kill or that he didn’t have a decent streak
An improvement over Ep.1 for sure. Some nice nods to 'Lawrence of Arabia' and the CGI hutts didn't look half bad.
Goody two shoes Boba Fett still isn't sitting right with me though.
What I meant was is it Tocshe staion or is it Anchorhead? I’m fairly certain Tocshe Station wasn’t in Anchorhead but in the delayed scenes it looks like a garage of sorts - this was a pub.
was it fan service? Fan service is giving fans want they want - I don’t know if anyone thinks about these deleted characters.
Anyway the scene requires some innocent bullied locals - no reason it can’t can’t be Camie and Fixer.
They haven’t filled in the blanks.
Fett emerged from the Sarlacc while the barge was still burning meaning it was probabky only hours.
Fett’s time with the Tuskens so far is most likely only moths of even that long.
Mandolarian season two is still years off at this point and it is obvious that living with this tribe leads Fett to take Jabba’s throne. Plus they are showing us what kind of a person Fett is.
I think life with the tribe will be told up until the season finale.
What is it about the flashbacks that you don’t like?
