The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I find it hilarious that Luke keeps a miniature lightsaber in a box.

Follow your heart Grogu...

 

[matticus]

I'd prefer him to die too quick... than to turn heroic underdog ally friend pal.

Fett: Thank you.

Bane: No need. *turns and walks away into the desert heat... raises a T2 thumbs up for Boba*

Which makes one wonder - why tf is everyone just walking around in the desert? Fennec with a prisoner, Cobb hiding behind some moisture vaporators to bust a drug deal, Cad in excellent shape walking miles in a hot desert with no sweat off his back. Western for Western sake.

Boba’s contribution to the final battle has leaked…

When you consider that the two suns would most likely vapourise and destroy all life on that planet, best just to accept that they are content walking in the desert.

I wonder if the backpack straps are meant to match Grogu's colour?

How agonizing is this current show, that seeing this just about makes me tear up?

I wont be forgiving Filoni/Favreau/Rodriquez for this BULLS*** anytime soon.

Luke searched the galaxy just so he could put that monkey on his back again for old time's sake.

One episode left and you'll be free from your pain.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Really? Thought at least one narrative had Bane offed by Fett

Indeed. That was too much like right back then to hit the screen, and its too much like right now. That's why it wont happen. Everyone in this EXCEPT Boba has plot armor, and once again I call BULLS***.

 

[Ramatuelle]

I am giving serious thought to just not watching.

I probably WILL watch, but I'm still mulling it over meanwhile. They are going to do something [or several things] so unbearably stupid in that finale that I'm not sure I need this stress level in my entertainment.

Anything good with SW comes with more bad. Just the cruel way SW is nowadays.

tbf is been like that since 1983

 

[Wor-Gar]

Cobb Vanth, really? He's parking enforcement. Wasn't he instructing the guys in the beginning to park their ride somewhere else?

 

[matticus]

I like my EU and it has been overwhelmingly good. But that was for various media besides live action.

For live action and animation, totally true.

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

There's nothing "original" about Ahsoka, she's sort of Filoni's version of trope fan fiction. Inexplicably hooked up with a young Jedi who isn't exactly stable; spectacular athlete, brilliant strategist; has mildly annoying qualities but she's just endearing anyway; everyone luvs her; unfairly accused but deals with it with nobility, unkillable...and if only she had been around Anakin she could have saved him
shows up everywhere and now even friggin' Luke Skywalker looks to her for reassurance

She's the SW version of a lead female elf, like Peter Jackson needed to bend the world around, whether it makes any sense, or not. Dunno what it is with these grown men coming up with stuff like this. Give me Fennec, Cara, or Asaj Ventress any day. Even Leia was actually, yah know, believable. Except for the Mary Poppins stuff. But I'd never blame Leia for that *besmirchment*.

All I know is that seeing OT era Luke wielding Yoda's PT lightsaber did more to canonize those films for me than probably anything prior. Though it's hard not to chuckle imagining the extended version of that scene, lol.

"This is a lightsaber. It belonged to my former teacher, Master Yoda. He lost it when dueling Palpatine in the Senate Chamber. How did I come by it you ask? That...is a story for another time."

This should be considered a plot hole since it was show in the Vader comics that Palpatine goon destroyed Yoda's lightsaber the next day after the rise of the empire.

Filoni created her to be none of those things. His idea for TCW was to follow the stories of a completely original cast of characters but George looked at his pitch and told him to ditch everyone except the Twi'lek padawan and to link her to Anakin.

Luke searched the galaxy just so he could put that monkey on his back again for old time's sake.

I really like how Luke took a lot of Yoda's sayings and made them his own ("You're trying too hard, don't try, just jump") but always with a compassion and softness seemingly different from prior Jedi Masters.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

The last two episodes were very good SW shows. However, as a whole, the first season of the BoBF has been awful from a storytelling POV.

4 mediocre episodes where the protagonist does very little or nothing, when he's not being incompetent, and two great episodes that completely neglect the protagonist of the show.

Maybe an episodic style SW show would be better.
