The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[ajp4mgs]

The episode is so bad that the mighty bombad AJP has no energy left to epic post about why it sucked so much ... a new low has been reached.

I just hope Khev likes it enough that we have some debate and lols here until next week. Otherwise we are all going to be like that new rancor, depressed that we have seen BOBF episode 3.

It wasn't so much lack of energy as it was actual disbelief. The only reason I know that I sat through the credits and concept art is because the screen was showing the title menu when I finally snapped out of the daze. And I wish I was kidding.

But I don't want you to feel disappointed, so I'll give you a list of my pros and cons from the episode:

Pros:

• Leaving us no doubt about Fett's lack of balls answered my nagging question as to why he doesn't wear crotch armor anymore.
• The Canto Bight Fathier chase is now only the *second* stupidest street chase in SW.
• There are at least a few Tuskens that I no longer have to worry about seeing show up again.
• I can be certain that I won't be spending a dime on merch or collectibles from this series.
• There was no Bossk in this one, so I've been at least temporarily spared from watching another OT character get nerfed and/or ruined.
• The incredible rewatch comedy value.
• The Fennec Shand character can be used in perpetuity by simply making a wax figure of Ming-Na Wen giving the side-eye look.
• Reading this thread.

Cons:

At least the show isn’t as bad as that Ash “Willams” figure

I had to rewatch TLJ to get rid of the awful taste from this episode.

 

[ajp4mgs]

This made the ST look like ESB.

I can confidently say that ajp and Khev will give me a thumbs up!

Don’t be jealous hating because I got those two titans on my side lol

Maybe that was the goal of this episode: to make every previous bad SW look better by comparison. That's how much Jon and Dave love Star Wars (and hate Boba Fett).

 

[jedibear]

Has Robert Rodriguez written all over it.

Indeed. And those moped things looked so "ride ready" for an attraction at the Disney parks. Awful.

You really got burned on that figure, didn't you?

I think that's exactly what this was -- Disnutland's new "Autopia"

Star Wars meets Spy Kids.

I always wait until my son gets home from school so that we can watch these together but I couldn't resist skimming a few comments. This episode is worse than the first two??? Worse than Episode 1???

Nah it's a fun episode, and series. Most here are sensational drama queens.
You and your kid(who it's made for) will love it.

When ChewBlackca comes back to ally with the Rancor riding Fett in a few eps. You and your kids will be fighting over who gets the figures.

I can’t believe how budget this show looks. They set the quality bar so high with The Mandalorian and yet somehow they can’t even come close to matching it.

Also when Black K jumps down the starts the soles of his feet are flat and grey and it totally breaks the immersion of it being a guy in a suit because they don’t look like feet, more like slippers.

I often try not to think much about the story, but when BK tries to deal with Boba I though ... why not stab him, why not shoot him, why choke him like an old lady if you are supposed to be a big badass Wookie able to rip off his head instantly and beat the rest of palace with it? It is some bad writing I must say.

 

[jedibear]

I wonder if when this show is over if one of those YouTube wunderkind will do a fan edit distilling it down to a decent hour or so of content?

The most frustrating thing watching this is how different in quality it is from the two seasons of Mandalorian with the same creative involved.

What happened?

Might have been wearing a pair of these...

Wookies like to feel comfort too.

Nice to know this gang upgraded to hover bikes:

 

[Wor-Gar]

There are SNIKT-like kids growing up right now who are mesmerized by this show and it will affect them for the rest of their lives.... like those of you who like BTTF2.

I can only hope the majority will grow up and discover better taste.

 

[Futurion]

Isn't Rodriguez a Ruin Johnson in disguise? Such sabotage ...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sa-Bo-Tage!!!!

It is some bad wiring I must say.

That's just a classic show/movie trope, where the bad guy throws the person they're trying to kill away.

So let me guess in the next episode they will be offered a tribute by some random denizen, Boba will have the same wet dream of growing up on Kamino, have a lacklustre fight with a lacklustre assassin (btw go and watch Eastern Promises for a great nude fight), go and visit the mayor again and have to get past really tough security and there will be some unnecessary action scene that doesn’t involve Boba or Fennec. Good cure for insomnia.
