The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[Mondragon]

Because I have eyes.

Yet you ignore the obvious Maori references already there. And that he's proud to extend it to them.
So you can feign outrage.

You take that back!

Lets get back to talking about The Colouring Book of Boba Fett

Nothing much from them yet apart from Black Krrsantan turning up.

Spoiler

>Main antagonist is Q'ira played by Emilia Clarke. An elderly Cad Bane is her right hand man, Cad Bane is played by one of the Mando stuntmen but is voiced by Corey Burton, looks cool in live action. The duo are the big bads of the series.
>
>Boba goes around uniting the Mad Max-esque gangs and minor syndicates who are at each others throats after Jabba's demise. Crimson Dawn at the same time are trying to gain a foothold on Tatooine. They view Boba as a threat and send various bounty hunters after him, including Black Krrsantan the Wookie. Black gives Boba a brutal beatdown similar to the Mudhorn battering Din in season 1 of the Mandalorian. Boba gives it his all though and gains black's respect. Various other bounty hunters go after Boba but he defeats them all.
>
>Boba when he visits one of the cities is approached by a street girl, he views her like himself when he was young and he takes her somewhat under his wing as a protege, yes I know folks will moan at this, but the actress is really good. She's an important catalyst for later.
>
>Muchi from the Bad Batch is in the show. Bib owned her, and mistreated her. Boba tames her and uses her as a mount in an episode. Later frees her and let's her go her own way.Rex and Echo show up in episode 5 (played by Temuera too obviously) he looks awesome, he has his Endor uniform and the Bad Batch cloak/poncho thing, Echo looks good too, his skin tone is mostly normalized, he has a new hand, Despite their age, they both still got stamina. Rex's reasons for seeking Boba aren't made clear as they're interrupted by more bounty hunters lead by Bossk when they meet. Boba and Bossk fight, but Bossk compliments him for his achievements thus far in uniting the underworld and it's nothing personal. Boba, Rex and Echo and Fennec mop the floor with the bounty hunters. Boba spares Bossk and Bossk then has a drink with Boba, Shand and the clones. Rex says he'll be in contact with Boba again once Boba deals with the issues he currently has. Rex and Boba leave.
>
>After Boba unites the gangs, and various Hunters failed to kill him and Shand, Q'ira finally allows Bane to try at Boba again. Bane scouts the area and notices Boba's affection for the girl mentioned earlier, Boba is starting to view her like a daughter, Bane kidnaps her and contacts Boba, who is shocked Bane is not dead. Bane and Boba duel it out one last time, Boba wins, Cad Bane finally hits the bucket. The girl is okay and comes to live with Boba and Fennec, Boba starts to train here.
>
>Q'ira is still out there however and isn't dealt with, she decides to hold off on further advances to Tatooine after Banes death.
>
>Rex once again arrives this time Echo is not with him, he's with Din. Din tells him that they are going to attempt to take back Mandalore and Din wants Boba by his side.
>
>Continued Mandalorian Season 3..

There is zero chance this is actually real. The show has sucked too much for any of this good stuff to exist within this show. It reads like the ultimate fan service fan fiction. I love it. I just don’t see this show going from completely bad to completely awesome.

How about that no Rancor gag?

They remember it died... but not Max Rebo.

One of the most difficult/frustrating aspects of this show that I was not expecting to have to deal with is the fact that aren't trying to make a seamless continuity with OT Fett. They're obviously just pulling an "MCU" with regard to TM's recasting like with Rhodey or Bruce Banner where they don't even pretend that the current version looks like the prior version and are just carrying on as if Fett always had TM's physique. It's just so much harder to do for a character that has been established for 40 years as opposed to a single film.

It's a moronic decision. You can't just rebrand Boba Fett. You can make a Star Wars show like this about a new character but you can't call him Boba Fett. Except Disney can do this and they know a large portion of their pea brain audience will fall over themselves justifying why it works.

This is the first show following the massive success of The Mandalorian. It's the beginning of the Star Wars MCU. I'll stay on board for The Mandalorian season three, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to wish I hopped off the train at the end of season two.

That name was short for Maximus Rebound!

He just shot out of the barge and bounced right back! into a spare keyboard barrel, and he's been going ever since!

This is now canon! it's actually more epic than Fett's survival scene, and he needs his own flash back movie!

I made a similar comment after episode 1.

Mandalorian felt like a show that was bigger than everything else. You knew what you were watching was special (well most episodes anyways). It brought back that classic Star Wars feel and that Star Wars mystery that was missing since the OT ended. It didn’t feel like just another show it was THE show. This wasn’t Cookie Cutter Marvel Entertainment Number 77, this was The Mandalorian. New, exciting, different yet familiar.

The more I think about this episode and series as a whole, the more I realize that Book of Boba Fett is beginning to feel like Cookie Cutter Star Wars Entertainment Number 1. It feels like this is the beginning of the Star Wars formula that we are all so accustomed to with Marvel now.

Don’t get me wrong, I like most of the MCU, but after watching it all, very few films stick out above rest, and even fewer stick out above the genre itself. For Star Wars, the OT did that. The Mandalorian did that. And I would even argue the final season, more so the final arc of the Clone Wars, did that too. They stuck out above the rest and that is what every Star Wars product we get should do. And each of those shows did that by not following a formula.

I don’t want a formula for Star Wars. I want it all to feel like Star Wars, to feel like I’m in a galaxy far far away, but be different enough that it still feels new and exciting. I walk into a Marvel movie or show and know what I’m going to get. I don’t want that for Star Wars. The OT set the bar. The PT, for all its faults and complaints from fans, was different enough but still felt like Star Wars (for me anyways, again, not cookie cutter PT, distinctly different, but still Star Wars). Even The Clone Wars achieved this.

But Book of Boba Fett? It feels like a cookie cutter of a very watered down Mando-esque show. It isn’t breaking the mold, doesn’t feel fresh or exciting, but molded neatly to shape so the blueprint for Cookie Cutter Star Wars Entertainment Number 2 can follow.

Maybe this is far too early to judge, but man I can’t help but notice it. It felt like a Marvel show. Good, good enough, I like it, mindless entertainment and consumption with fan service, but it wasn’t the OT, it wasn’t Mando Season One, it wasn’t the Clone Wars Final Arc. It was just another product. Maybe after the ST I should be happy Star Wars has reached this place of “good enough follow the formula make good passable mediocre shows.” I don’t know, I expect more. Makes me a little worried about the future shows.

I can totally see this. It's like the Star Wars version of Ironwez.

I think I want to see The Book of Babu Frik

 

[Otomofan]

OK.....

What if Max Rebo's "**** organ"..........yes, his **** organ. Grow up. It's in the books. Anyway. His **** organ had a repulsor lift built in, and he when he heard all the shooting start, he freaked out, said "Later chumps!" to his band just fired off his **** organ and then gently convalesced to safety before the barge exploded.


Also, we don't know how long Boba was in the Sarlacc.....few hours, few days? Not long though. But maybe the very first thing a Sarlacc does is plump up it's victims a little bit, so they'll last longer. And that's why he's fat.


Anyone that was a fan in the 90s and read all the early EU material knows you can retcon just about anything if you're not a lazy, creatively dead, corporate drone at Disney.

 

[Otomofan]

Or.....maybe Boba ate all the weequays and niktos and baradas that were down there with him and got fat, and then he found the Stormtrooper just in time cause his own oxygen supply had run out.

That little guy might deliver a better central performance.

Of course.....didn't you have the toy in the 80s and pretend it was like a vehicle? He flew outta that shitshow like it was a landspeeder and got a sweet gig playing with a dude on guitar that took the Cantina song and Hispanicized it by about 85%.

 

[ebor]

Well I can identify with Temeura...because I too am a Morrison!

John Marion Wayne is also a Morrison...a long lineage of Duster Cowboys.

Temuera a space cowboy, J. Wayne a kick *** cowboy...and me a person who eats cow and happens to be a boy!

Off topic, but I need that too. Maybe he can do a directors cut like everything else he’s done.
