The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[Wor-Gar]

Fett was a villain - no more

Tuskens were villains - no more

Thanks Disney.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I get what they’re trying to do with this new take on Fett.

Strip the bad *** armor exterior and expose the real warrior underneath.

The gear, helmet and weapons doesn’t make a warrior it’s his desire to be someone.

It's kind of like the first hour of Batman Begins, except Bruce wasn't ********.

Boba Fett is racist. He is appropriating the Tusken culture as a non-Tusken being. Wearing their robes. Carrying their sticks. Dancing their dances. Then he degrades the robes by wearing armor over them. The plight of the peaceful Tusken’s needs to stop now Disney!

Had someone told me before this show was announced that we would be getting a Boba Fett musical where he actually dances I would’ve thought you were crazy lol

Character building before the final battle.

He isn't white though. That's ok to do unlike these horrific people:

Fett was a villain - no more

Tuskens were villains - no more

Thanks Disney.

They weren't bad, they were just drawn that way.

There's still potential there for Boba And the Tuskens to go on a murderous rampage across Tatooine in search of his stolen armour.

Fett's got more curves now than Jessica Rabbit.

Did anyone notice - When they use the binoculars to look at the train, the range display is regular numerals, not alien or SW style.
Look at 27:50

It's like they're not even trying in some areas. Attention to detail Disney.

 

[Dave_W]

Even Lucas remembered to change the tractor beam language...27 years later.

EDIT: Well, the binoculars in ANH still have regular numbers too.

If the show came out when I was a kid I would have loved every second of it (almost), back then I was hanging off every scrap of info I could find out about these characters and this world and now we get to see it again semi-regularly in a live action mini series. Watching the second episode definitely appealed to the kid in me again.

If you are onboard with the PT characterisation and origins of Boba then this series does seem to fit more readily with the established character - however, if you only like the ESB Fett (and bits of other media around that time) then I can understand your disappointment and reluctance to accept it. It would be cool if they ever did a second series if they continued with the story telling in two different time lines but next time had younger Fett around the time of the OT so that we can see more of the cold ruthless disintegrating Fett voiced by TM but with a more suitable body shaped stunt double in the suit with helmet on.

I think I need to manage my expectations of what to expect from the series.

I appreciate what they're trying to achieve with the Fett and Tuskens backstory however I do hope they eventually move away from the flashbacks and concentrate on the present.

Shall we continue with the gross inconsistencies.

One second the Tusken is Female brigade are helpless victims next second they are Call of Duty expert snipers taking out baddies behind small window slits on a train moving 500mph. Why even assault the train just use your expert snipers!

About that train!

It was going 8,000mph across the desert YET when it crashed it stopped right next to the Tusken platoon who arrived at the train instantly WTF lol

That train should’ve been at Chicago by then!

If a Mos Espa train departs the train station at 5pm going 8,000mph with 25 Pike gangsters onboard and 19 more jump onto the train at stop # 2 how many gangsters were in the train at stop # 3 lol

Hahahaha I did think of both of those points when watching it. Especially the train, yep that's going to take them a while to catch up to it oh no my mistake here they are. Think the train was driving in a big loop because the droid driver was scared, just ask Khev it's what he told me honest.

I need HT to release Snowspeeder Luke to remind me of the True Meaning of Star Wars.

 

[ZE_501]

No it's true.

Disney is the path to the dark side. Disney leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate...leads to abandoning fandom.
