The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[Khev]

Another interesting thing about the show is that aside from the Sarlacc it so far has completely divorced itself from OT Fett even in flashbacks. We've been reminded twice now that this character is an extension of the sad little boy in the Geonosis arena and Kamino as if his bounty hunting days throughout the entire OT were non-existent.

That's because in the OT he had his **** together...until Han turned around.

I really don't like how this show often ignores the language barrier between Fett and the Tuskens. In that scene right there he's speaking in plain English with no grunts or hand gestures whatsoever. To the Tuskens he's literally saying "bla bla bla bla, BLA?" while rocking on the speeder like an *****.

And they did that quite a bit. He'd make one tiny hand gesture and then speak an entire sentence as if that's what his gesture meant.

Now compare this to Mando S2 Ep1, where Mando acts as the go-between/interpreter for Cobb, the townspeople & the Tuskens. So much more believable.

I suppose this could all be solved by the Tusken clan leader understanding English but either playing his cards close to the vest or simply refusing to speak it. That could be a neat reveal down the road if executed correctly. So probably not lol...

I'll be honest his teeth started to bug me rewatching Ep1 and viewing E2. Nothing against TM must have great fluoride in the waters of NZ. Enjoying the show. I have enjoyed these two episodes more than the first two of Mando (minus the IG-11 scenes)

Credit to you for rewatching both episodes. I don't think any of us in here have done that yet.

I was actually rewatching Episode 2 last night & paused it when my wife returned home from work. She glanced at the screen and said "What's with that guy's teeth"?

That's when you know there's a problem.

I felt the same way initially watching the Return, but after having time to digest it, I think what Lynch did was actually great. Good stories, like good music, must need tension and release, conflict and resolution. The Agent Cooper move was an extreme example, but can you imagine a greater feeling of relief as when Cooper finally returns as we knew him. No Twin Peaks fan could have seen that without a huge smile on their face. And it's just one more thing that makes that show, and Lynch in general, so dang interesting and distinctive. His story was about a lot more than Coop as we knew him, and his approach allowed him to tell a story that you wouldn't have gotten from any other creative mind. In some ways, it was the opposite of the constant attention to fan service that Marvel/Disney/DC/etc. always shove down our throats. Lynch essentially said, "screw the fans and screw the critics, I'm making the story I want to tell." And I appreciate anyone with the balls to do that in modern times.

Pretty much what George has been doing since the beginning...
Which is why I respect him.

And that was from @15 feet away looking at a 40" screen lol...

He cleans his teeth...

...like a bantha, like a bantha...

Clearly Boba Fett is to become some type of Anti-hero, because Disney can't make a series where a murderous villain is the star.

Yikes!

Pretty much what happened to Venom.

The only way to save Book of Boba Fett...

 

[karamazov80]

. . .the way we all accepted Uncle Bob in T2.

I can see it now, an unmasked Fett facing off against the Hutts and Bad Wookie...

That scene with the sand people dancing around the fire reminded me of a Haka.

I suppose the same can be said for, say, Uwe Boll. Doing something your own way is something to respect at some level no matter what, but making the unflinching artistic choice is more what I'm referring to. I don't know all the ins and outs of why Lucas did what he did, but I'm not 100% sure that, say, neutering Solo in Return of the Jedi was done in pursuit of his artistic vision. I do know Lucas surrounded himself with yes-men. And that's another thing that's not uncommon among artists. Lynch certainly doesn't like to be second guessed by producers.

Too much time in Bacta leads to over-whitening.

Yep. Sad Daniel Logan left behind on Kamino. Sad Daniel Logan picking up his dead father's helmet. Sad Fett struggling in the Sarlacc. According to this show his entire history is one of sadness and loneliness.

As opposed to being a famous badass who had the respect of *Darth Vader* and the love of dancing girls everywhere. Okay screw the Wookiee and Hutts I'm back to hating this show completely again, lol.

Maybe they've been sandblasted - he's walked through one too many sandstorms with his mouth open lol.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

He walks funny
He's a *******
His teeth are too white
