The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[Knightstalker]

Well, I already suggested that shooting Bib in the face was due to his involvement somehow in the slaughter of the Tuskens. The end-game you suggest sounds about right.

And it ain't right.

I know, it sounds awful which is why it'll probably happen.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Right as Fett was about to pay tribute to his old friend he forgot proper gun safety and his blaster went off. Then when he went to check Bib's vital signs the fat Twi'lek's body slumped over and slipped through his hands off the throne. In his grief he could only quietly sit down to try and gather himself.

After Fennec left the room he headed outside to get some air.

Fennec was thinking, "What a badass! He shot him right in the face and took his throne without saying a word. I definitely picked the right man! I bet later tonight he's going to show me who's boss!"

Later that night Fennec is in bed, naked , waiting..."Any time now..."

I'm going to be one of those people that incessantly bothers Hot Toys on every FB post, but instead of Cat-Woman or Ronin, or the dog from Back to the Future, I'm demanding these figures.

That would not be one bit more stupid than some of this other HT trolling we see, especially for Shazaam.

So , I just startwd watching through episode 2.

Let me start off by saying I am not a fan of BF, I never understood the fan boy reaction to him. From the Kenner mystery figure reveal, to his (apparent) demise in ROTJ. I NEVER got it. He never did anything that impressive to me. He seemed like a glorified errand boy. So I cant get involved with the whole idea he was EVER a badass as so many think he is…..

Flash back to the PT , and we see nothing impressive either. Basically a clone, bred to be aggressive, but damaged by his father death.

So , it probably much easier to see this new series in a positive light. I think the direction they have taken the character is very interesting, much better than the typical bad boy , 80’s action hero so many fans seem to want. I had my fill of that character in the 80’s 90’s and 2000…..it just been done to death.

Now we seem to have a redemption arc going, which has also been done too much. However . I find it compelling with this series. We have a bounty hunter, who they are showing as past his prime, if he had any, returning to a world where he knows nothing of leadership and commanding a following. Essentially , I see this as a loner renegade, who failed, trying to rebuild himself , as a respected leader. This is interesting to me.

I loved seeing his bloated, broken body be rebuilt by the Tuskins and living hard in a situation with very little. The dive into Tuskin society, both in this and Mando, has been a great joy to see. I really hope we get to see more of this society building. I would love to see how the Hutts crime syndicate works.

I also like political and crime dramas, so I actually hope to see this more as a intrigue story of a crime lords rise, than an action based bad *** against the world. I wanna see him manipulate the characters into his power zone. Also hope to see him sumble in this world where he obviously has zero experience being a leader.

Really excited to see where this goes, for the first time I am interested in Boba Fett……

Also hope to see him stumble in this world where he obviously has zero experience being a leader.

I see what you're saying here, but them making out like Fett has no experience with the criminal underworld is silly. Because he DOES. And quite a bit of it. He has been consorting with criminals in power for his whole adult life. And before he was even an adult, he was seeing these people work up close. Hell, just the Bounty Hunter's Guild was bad enough. That's why he left.

Unless this series does a 180 - and if it does, RR will just blow that up in the final episode - I will ignore this series as canon in much the same way I ignore most of the ST.

EDIT: Where is the guy from THIS BOOK, where the hell is he?!! Yes this series sucked, but this one book was absolute fire. What happened, where is the real BF i am gonna quit whining about this soon, I promise. We waited all year for this and I am angry.

Because this dog**** does not even slightly resemble the mysterious and feared bounty hunter Boba Fett.

Just to be clear here, I wasn’t saying I like BOBF.
I was saying that the Disney shills always need to justify someone disliking something by calling us racists or misogynists or intolerant.
Like, The Last Jedi can go die in a fire, but I don’t go tell people they like it because they’re racist.

 

[jye4ever]

Watch skinny Tusken female be the real Fett and he reveals himself then kills the clone imposter and freezes Fennec!

Lucasfilm call me I can save this dumpster fire.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Another inconsistency is the idea that his near death experience in the sarlaac pit is something that would change his entire outlook on life. One can safely assume that he has had several near death experiences during his time as a bounty hunter. That dent in his helmet for one...

Wait until this guy watches episode 3

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

What's the bet we discover his motivation to be a crime boss is so that he can end the criminal underworlds control of Tatooine so he can give it back to the noble, oppressed, misunderstood Tuskens, which will all be revealed when Tusken Pocahontas turns up at the end to help save the day and will have all the subtlety and nuance of a sledgehammer to the balls.

The Bloat of Bebe Fatt

 

[ebor]

My favorite aspect of that Hutt scene is the dozen guys holding up the full weight of two fat slugs having to stand there while a mechanized hover slab brings the equally-heavy Rancor right alongside the whole way.

Imagine the hate and disgust going through those guys' minds.

'guys'...those slaves you mean...

You wanna know how I got these scars...er...I mean this dent?

One helmet removal too many, dropped it on a Tatooine rock...

Or Boba got pegged in the head by Tuskin jr.

 

[greygoose]

This show has created the perfect storm of unmissable TV. I can’t wait to see the next episode and then report back here for the next week of lols

Feels like it was meant to be.

Can you imagine if it was good - what would we talk about?...

 

[choombaz]

Anyone watch the vespa chase with Benny Hill music yet?

Just in my head

It would probably be all the same (weird ) posts about Boba not having *** with fennec, but it would be because he’s too busy being tough and killing people instead of being stupid and baby talking to the rancor.

So fans are still rooting for Boba to bang Fennec?

If the last couple pages of let’s say… “colorful descriptions” are any indication, then yes.

 

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

So if a major studio bought a property which included a significant supporting character that you loved, then the studio brought on a filmmaker to develop the character's show but who said your beloved character was "way more popular than he should have been" so one could "kind of do whatever you want" - ie so he clearly didn't "get" the character you loved at all - and changed that character into not only something quite different, but something you felt was lame and almost pathetic, how would you feel?

And if someone who, like the hired filmmaker, NEVER got the appeal of your beloved character at all, in fact the reverse - thought the character was an overhyped bore and denigrated people who liked him - weighed in saying how much they liked the direction that the filmmaker was taking the character, how would you respond?
