As I've tried to explain to Jye before, we only needed one show about a kickass helmeted Mandalorian - and they wasted it on Din Djarin.
Disagree. I was srsly Skywalkered out after the ST. Felt like the whole world of SW sort of could never evolve. IMO the ST started with a lot of promise - not doing more with Finn, among other things, will always be inexcusable
. There was so much room to work with a character who, far as I know, was the first Stormtrooper to question all of it. Enough's been said about the ST, but *&&^%, so much was thrown away as it slid into nostalgia overrdrive
.
So Mando for me was a breath of fresh air. Raised by a cult more or less; but there's all these fascinating shades of gray. He's not a jerk. Ruthless, but can still say thank you.
Ultimately the contrast between Din D'jarin and Boba Fett should have been fascinating too - or at least how I envisioned Boba Fett to be. In a way, it's almost like Bill Burr's Mayfield did a bit - with what I thought Boba Fett would have been like - you do what you gotta.
Boba Fett being far more practical and ruthless than Din D'jarin. Why not? Din D'jarin, however harsh his upbringing was, ended up with a code, and a clan. Boba didn't even have that structure.
There should be an interesting interaction with the Marshall, who is definitely a good man. Now I wonder that that will be *&^% too
. Coz there won't be any contrast of personalities and a *&^% script. Suspect Marshall interacting with Fennec (ur piston intestines sure are pretty, ma'am, would u care for a jar of Bantha fat to keep them greased?
) will be a lot more cool at this point, than Boba looking blankly at the Marshall, and then struggling with the faux Shakespeare type lines (except Shakespeare didn't write boring lines like "then we will be ready"
no shiite
)
Guess Fennec can walk Marshall over to the aquarium, where he raps on the glass. No response. Looks at Fennec and sez WTF at the twitching, Calvin Klein brief'd Boba. Fennec rolls her eyes and hands Marshall the armor...the end credit scene is a bathrobed Boba cooing at his baby Rancour. Baby Rancour rolls over to get a belly rub and Boba shouts for the green pigs to rescue him...
I just think Favreau is overstretched. Too many shows, too many demands.
PS.
Fett should be exuding sexy menace in much the same way Mando did - yes! At 60+ he can definitely carry out that request. And yet, no! This show has neutered him. i wanted Fett to finally Get Some and nope.
Y'all are forgetting Rasta Tusken. She'll probably show up, break off the lid of the aquarium grunting the trope line of "if it weren't for u my people would still be alive but I have the hots for u let's lose the tighty whities and let me show u another kind of Tusken dance *wink wink*, coz underneath these rags I'm a hawt blue chick who can make the Kama Sutra look like mild exercise for my nana")
"Ooooh, I get it. You want to hear about my latest dream. What would I do without you, Fennec?"
