Bad Wookie better kick some Boba ***.

I love the Hutts and Wookiee. Unfortunately I don't see myself looking at them as anything other than cool "What If" villains due to their association with the fake Legacy character that this show is named after.

 

[Khev]

Yes this new Boba is super into getting revenge against people who wrong him like when he let the mayor's aide insult him in his own palace and then sent him on his way with warm thoughts and well wishes.

Sadly, the chances of a Hot Toys version of these Hutts is greater than their releasing a Jabba. We got a damn What If? Ultron and Captain Carter coming, but no C-3PO to be found.

In five episodes, I'll be accepting your apologies.

Hopefully it won't be me in five episodes time saying 'so have I'.

Until then, 'like a bantha'

I feel like the only direction they give Morrison is "more teeth."

This show is midichlorians AF.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Nah bruh. Gives new meaning to the term 'uncanny valley'. No thanks.

You will love her 'uncanny valley'.... every morning.

This show is wizard AF.

Is Boba's luminous smile the reason he always kept his helmet on in ESB and ROTJ, to avoid dazzling everyone. I guess outside under the hot desert suns it doesn't matter as much hence the helmet comes off more? Perhaps Boba was going to take off his helmet when Han accidentally activated his jet pack, explains why he was caught off-guard. Glad to see BOBF syncing up with the OT.

Don't you already have a version of canon that counts the animated shows? If so, this Fett fits seamlessly in that one, making Krrsantan and the incest Hutts no less canon than any other character from that version of SW (like Ahsoka).

Since the version of Fett that you grew up with would never have organically developed out of the TCW honor code and grief trauma portrayal, you sacrifice nothing by sliding all of BoBF right into that already-existing canon.

i would like to slide Blubber Fett into a cannon. But I think we'd end up in a Winnie the Pooh situation.

Boba's so daft he thinks it's better to remove a hat or helmet when exposed to the sun(s). And this after being burned/scarred by his time in the Sarlacc pit and then continuously exposed to the desert suns during his time with the Tuskens. It would be fitting that this version of Fett dies from something as mundane as skin cancer lol. It seems to have already spread to his brain...

And on that note...

Here I thought Favreau was going to “fix” the PT….

Not looking good for Vader.

I do have quite the multiverse of compartmentalized SW canons (lol) but what's fun for me is trying to construct the largest possible canon of "awesome" SW.

Sure if I wanted a "perfect" canon then I'd only include the theatrical SW and ESB and call it a day but that just isn't as fun IMO.

My largest head canon that I find syncs together pretty seamlessly is Solo/RO/OT/Mando/ST. But as I've said before sometimes I like to humor a larger alternate canon that includes the PT and TCW. For the animated stuff though I always look at it as an approximation of what really happened just due to the exaggerated reality depicted in those stories. The "camp fire" versions of what "really happened" if you will. Where in those tellings Jedi can leap a hundred yards, young Boba's whininess and moral compass are exaggerated, and so on. So if something is a bit off in a cartoon it doesn't sit with me as poorly as something being off in live-action.

And I don't know if you recall but even on the days when I am feeling charitable toward the PT (due to the nostalgia that it now has, the toyetic designs, or what have you) I *still* hate what they did to Fett's backstory so usually my head canon just says that Jango named his kid after the real Boba Fett (who later kills his poser son and sounds like Jason Wingreen.)

Getting back to BOBF it's live-action so I'm less forgiving when it comes to such a blatant departure from an iconic OT character so into the multiverse it goes--way, waaaay down on the list of canons.
