The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[Johnny Utah]

Are they ever going to make an Old Republic movie? That cgi trailer is still the best Star Wars action I've ever seen.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

The sequence was a bit blown out -- even Cobb looked more pale than usual... but I liked the lighter tone. More sickly, more nasty.

The lighter color is a nice contrast with the dark clothes.

His teeth could be less white, but I guess everyone has perfectly nice teeth in the galaxy. Nobody neglects their gums and teeth it seems.

Fett disintegrating Bane where he stands would be so awesome, and such a redemptive step not only for him, but for this whole series that we have exactly 0% chance of that happening.

I think that Bane is too good a bad guy to off this soon. He's arguably the *best* bad guy in all of live-action SW right now so I hope they keep him around a little longer.

The early spoiler, that hit a few right notes and missed others...

Spoiler

After Boba unites the gangs, and various Hunters failed to kill him and Shand, Q'ira finally allows Bane to try at Boba again. Bane scouts the area and notices Boba's affection for the girl mentioned earlier, Boba is starting to view her like a daughter, Bane kidnaps her and contacts Boba, who is shocked Bane is not dead. Bane and Boba duel it out one last time, Boba wins, Cad Bane finally hits the bucket. The girl is okay and comes to live with Boba and Fennec, Boba starts to train here.

Spoiler

Boba wins...

I'm hoping he doesn't bite the dust in the finale and remains in the show for Mando season 3 and Ashoka too.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

As many have said so much will just come down to the finale. Maybe RR is making Fett such a badass in next week's episode that it blinded him to all of the buffoonery leading up to it.

But man with so many key characters in play now; Fennec, Mando, Cobb, Krrsantan, the Mod Squad, Rancor, maybe even Luke and Grogu, I fear that there will be so much time showing everybody else doing cool stuff that there might simply be not enough screen time for Fett to even have a chance at undoing all of the idiocy we've seen thus far.

Getting the best of Bane will be a step in the right direction but he'll need to do a *lot* more than just that (and honestly I'm nervous that once again they're gonna let Fennec take out out a major bad guy instead of Fett.)

Fett flying would be one way for him to stand out. As long as he doesn't crash and burn. The last thing we need is everyone fighting while Fett is running in the background on fire.

Cad Bane always reminded me of Pox from "Destroy All Humans!" back on the PS2.

His teeth could be less white, but I guess everyone has perfectly nice teeth in the galaxy. Nobody neglects their gums and teeth it seems.

To be fair almost everyone in TGTBATU had sparkling white teeth too (especially that one dying soldier, damn lol) even Tuco who probably had never even held a toothbrush in his life so I accept it as a legitimate trope at this point, lol.

 

[ScoutingForToys]

If you told me that Boba didn't appear in episodes 5 and 6, instead the show was hijacked by The Mandalorian, before I started watching this series, I'd have been angry.
Now though, I'm happy because at least we got 2 decent episodes out of this whole embarrassing mess.

I have noticed a little link with the music and Boba's actions.

In Mando season 2 when he's destroying the Stormies or killing Bib in cold blood, you get that Boba theme, we all know the one.

That theme is barely used at all in BoBF.

It plays very briefly in that first fight with the energy shield guys. When Boba chokeslams that guy and brains him with the club thing, pulling that weird angry face (made the same face in Mando season 2 when walloping Stormies).

I'm wondering if that's meant to be a musical hint to Boba's state of mind.
A little musical indication that Boba has lost his temper and is up to his old ways.

We don't really hear again. The rest of the time he's passive, calm, let's be mates, Boba.

I'll be curious to see if that music plays at all in the final, and if it coincides with Boba finally cutting loose.

 

[Khev]

If Fett flying would be one way for him to stand out. As long as he doesn't crash.

I guess one way they could have him shine would be to have Mando taken out mid-battle (like maybe an enemy speeder bangs into him, temporarily dazing him) where he drops the Darksaber and it's picked up by Boba. Showing Boba go to town without injuring himself would at least allow him to have one single moment of competence compared to Mando.

I hope everything hits the fan in the middle of the city, that could allow for a lot of fun mayhem especially if you've got the Rancor and possibly Tuskens entering the fray. Hopefully they don't do something boring like having both sides face each other out in the desert over flat sand.

Or an airport or a parking lot.

Hoping they go full on Anchorman...

It's all the sand, sort of blasts everyone's teeth; and also manscapes Boba so he looks good in his Calvin Klein.

 

[Khev]

Not me, I never took to Ahsoka,

So which is it then, give us more Skywalkers or give us more original characters? Pick one for crying out loud, lol.

 

[The Buffinator]

I kind of wish they kept the darker blue skin tone of the original cantina Duros as well as TCW Bane himself.

The sequence was a bit blown out -- even Cobb looked more pale than usual... but I liked the lighter tone. More sickly, more nasty.

Hot Toys will spin this as the "Deluxe Tatooine Sun Bleached Version" of Cad, add $25 to the price just because they can, and we'll all happily place our orders on day 1.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Hoping they go full on Anchorman...

Hopefully, Fett remembers to wear his helmet.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I hope Disney doesn't turn Cad Bane into another lost soul who turns good and becomes Fett's new ally.

Maybe this will end up like The Prestige where the big reveal will be that there were always TWO Boba Fetts (one a badass, one a bumbling *****) who took turns wearing the armor.

It was obviously the secret third pure Jango clone, Beta Fett.
