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

Did you write this? 😬

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.

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.

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. 😄

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder!

A bit boring, and a bit watchable so far.....

Science soap opera fiction maybe ...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with slow burners. In fact, I prefer a measured approach than whizz ping. But at some point there has to be...well...a point. And we're two episodes into this and there hasn't been one yet. That leaves just five episodes to go.

However, Ep.1 wasn't necessarily slow to me. It was just extremely flat and lacklustre. Ep.2 upped things a notch, but was still kinda mediocre. It's nice seeing the slice of life moments of Tatooine and all, but I'm still left wondering what the point of the show is. It seems to me that the raison d'etre of the show is merely to redeem Boba Fett so he isn't just the criminal scumbag he was in the OT. He's now the white saviour of some desert natives and a guy who wants to use Jabba's criminal organisation...ahem..."rule with respect". As if that's going to wipe out the fact that he worked for the space mafia and the space nazis and was famous for murdering his bounties. But as Star Wars has shown, redemption is extremely easy in this universe. Even if you've been party to murder and enslavement of billions (Hello Vader), it's still all cool in the end bro.

Perhaps the story will finally get going after all the redemption flashback stuff is done away with, who knows. But I think there's more flashback stuff to come. Something's going to happen to Boba's new found Sandpeople friends. Perhaps the Pykes will be back to fuck them all up. After all, they are a powerful crime syndicate (according to the web anyway), why the hell would they now pay a toll to a bunch of backward natives to run their drugs through the desert? In fact why the hell would they be using a train anyway, when there's spaceships in the Star Wars galaxy? But that's another story altogether. But something has to happen so that Fett is left wandering the desert for a few years, as that seems to be where he came in in 'The Mandalorian'.

But as far the "modern day" story in the show is concerned, it has been terribly anaemic so far. It's obvious that Fett is going to clash heads with the various criminal elements on Tatooine, the Pykes, the Mayor and the twins (while the hell did they leave it for 6 years to make a claim to Jabba's organisation????). But if they don't develop that quicker, it may end up just looking like a flash in the pan.

It's been, easily, the best aspect of a fairly mediocre show so far.

I think this time next year is more likely.

The series is like Star Wars meets Cobra Kai meets Blazing Saddles

Enjoying it so far , similar to mando and slow build up , I agree with an earlier comment on boba , I never knew what the hype was about considering he did so little in the films, but that was the case with a lot of side characters i suppose.

Anyone else think the female sand person will be fennec ?

I wouldn't say Fennec is one of the sand people. She was in Bad Batch as well so she's been at this for a long time and was known as a bounty hunter when she attacked Mando.

Getting an insights into a few things with these series, such as the sand people and and rancors. Now to find out more about Jawas and how their origin is as seen in the Phantasm films.

A bit of a weak episode. The Wookie Bounty Hunter seemed like he could be an interesting secondary antagonist of sorts, but the fight was a bit boring as he caught Boba in his tank and ended the episode scurrying away. Hopefully see him again for some proper action. The Hutt's deciding "Actually, you've captured our bounty hunter, so we're just going to peace out because it's not worth it" was a letdown unless they're plotting to come back again later. And the Tuskan story just... ended... ended like it was nothing. Could also have really done without the Power Rangers and their Bike-Zords too.

So yeah, definitely thought it was a weak episode, which is disappointing as I have been enjoying it up until now.

This is starting to feel like "Star Wars trying to do Game of Thrones" but not quite pulling it off. Also, I know Morrison is a Kiwi but the symbol on the armour is a bit on the nose for something set in a galaxy far far away.

Episode 3....bloody hell that was pretty awful. Such a disappointment as I really enjoyed episode 2. The street gang were laughable alright. Everything looks too clean or something.

Also stupid question but is Boba Fett meant to be some big crime boss? He is in this big lair...and there seems to be a grand total of 5 people in his gang...including himself and errr a robot? Or am I reading things totally wrong?
