The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[Asta]

Where's that guy that took out the squad of stormtroopers and their ride?

He's sitting it out in the bathroom with Axe Woves. (Separate stalls though).

I feel like in a world where we're given Book of Boba Fett, The Eternals, Wandavision and Falcon and Spring Soldier... no wonder Spiderman: Greatest Hits is doing so well. Maybe Spiderman is actually just an OK retread?

So the final fight is going to be Fett riding the Rancor into battle (with the aid of his army of Power Bike Rangers) against the Pykes...

Yeah, it sure seems that way. If you just consider "Fett riding the Rancor into battle" and no of the context around it, sounds pretty cool. The fact that they had to ensure everyone knew the Rancor was on Paxil was just dumb. Say something simple like, the Rancor, while fierce can be tamed and controlled to a certain extent (Maliki was implied as doing so in ROTJ). The depth they went with the rancor emotions was just unnecessary.

I would never bundle the Marvel stuff with this. All those you mention at least attempted to do something interesting and failed, this isn’t even trying. A baby with a crayon could do better.

There isn't time for much else. He still has to talk his Rancor out of depression and learn how to ride it. Maybe he can just get some Zoloft from one of the emo kids. The next episode is bound to be 90% flashback where he again channels his inner Arnold to retaliate against The Sons of Anarchy for wiping out the Sand People who supposedly "outnumbered them greatly".

At the pace they are going they won’t even get to that point. Booba will have just started as The Rancor Whisperer.

Yeah, it does sound cool. All down to how much faith you have in their execution of it.

Interested to see what he names his Rancor.

Expert snipers last week. Dead the next.

Derp.

Derp.

Like with the Vader scene in RO, I am happy we finally got Boba Fett kicking ass and using all his weapons. That's all my teen self ever wanted to see.

I'm done now.

One wonders how Rogue One writers would have handled Boba Fett. One can dream…

With the Tusken lady snuggled against him, and probably the kid, as the new and improved emo Boba, face reddened not by the sand, but by the slaps the fed-up Fennec gives him in private (while singing I'll Make a Man Out of You yeah Disney), barrels out on the sensitive Rancour in a monumental cash grab (gotta have the Lego set $$$$).

Wasn't even a huge fan of Boba but grimly considering cancelling the Monk set; need some brain bleach for the faux sumo wrestler vs. Bigfoot scene. WTH happened to the Mando Boba - this armor was my father's etc.

People have been bending over backwards for the last two weeks trying to justify the Tusken storyline. Truth is it always sucked. Once the real Boba Fett escaped the sarlaac he would have immediately killed whoever was necessary and stopped at nothing to retrieve his armor and the Slave 1 as soon as possible.

I enjoyed last weeks episode, but this one was back to being a mixed bag. The space-mods are just so out of place and frankly looked ridiculous.
Also where the feck are Disney finding these third rate British actors? They seem to be infesting everything Disney are producing, we do actually have people who can act in this country, try hiring some of them for a change please.
Rodriguez seems to be on a real off phase, it's hard to believe the same guy who directed Sin City directed this and the first episode, he's way better than this.
Apart from that, liked the Wookie, the flashback and the Rancor, let's hope the show finds it's feet soon.

 

[The Buffinator]

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

Star Wars meets Spy Kids.

More like The Jetsons meets Spy Kids.

Hot Toys reveals Boba Fett on Derp!!! Fans go wild!!!!

Well we know he does retrieve it eventually, just takes his time doing so.

Would have been fun to watch him hunt down and decimate the Jawas.

RR is incapable of being consistent his entire career is almost’s, not quite’s, good god what was that?
