The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

I can’t stand looking at that mod gang lol

I literally cringed any time they were on screen.

So, as I mentioned earlier, I decided to watch Episodes 1-4 and 7 today with no pause and no Mandalorian intermission. I'm going to honestly say that I enjoyed the series a LOT more the second time around. Maybe my expectations were lower, maybe I've been suckered by the cool HT 1/4 Fett, or maybe watching it week to week just didn't provide any continuity to the story. With episodes 1 and 3 being weaker than 2 and 4, watching back to back really helped tie things together a bit more. I watched the finale for exactly what it was: a ridiculous battle royale with silly RR stunts, Rockette knee dart shots and questionable strategic decisions, but at the end of the day I can say that I'm OK with the BoBF. I think some of the questionable things that bugged me the first time, bothered me less the second time:

1. Boba crashing Slave 1 in the Hanger was better this time as the hanger door is closed, it's dark and he can't see, plus it's a tight squeeze. I see they were trying to build drama in the escape and maybe missed the mark.
2. Slave 1 in the Sarlacc. Chalk up him forgetting where his armor went to the time passed out in the desert. He thinks it's dead, so he's just trying to see inside it when it grabs on. The sonic charge was cool. Not as terrible as the first time.
3. The rabbit droid in the kitchen. Yeah, this was still stupid. This is trying to add that Jar Jar type humor but you just can't do it with Fett.
4. Like a bantha. We got a great meme out of it and in reality, he's bonding with his adopted Tusken tribe and trying to educate them on how to ride a speeder. It's goofy but I didn't hate it this time around.
5. Helmet off. I guess knowing that the helmet was coming off lessened the annoyance for me. I actually found that it wasn't off as often as I recall and it wasn't as wildly inappropriate as I remember it.

Now, bring on 1/6 Boba, Cad Bane and Black Kristin.

I don’t know who told you that those rose colored glasses look good on you but she was lying.

Yes it's true we've got our High Republic costumes picked out and everything. He's donning black face to arrive as the overweight African American lesbian Jedi and I'm going as that one rock that copilots the ship, lol.

Who is going to show up as those two shaved-head Trent Reznor-looking non-binary Jedi twins with black greasepaint around their eyes, though? asking the real questions here.....

Why did Bane think Cobb was dead? Surely he knew he shot him in the shoulder... I understand Cobb has plot armour here but in reality Bane just shoots him right between the eyes.

So Bane is alive, right? The light on his chest blinking and beeping meant he survived?

The lights are on, but no one's home.

 

[Jmek]

So who here is hoping for Hasbro to do a Vintage Collection Rancor and Boba figure, apart from me of course.

Oh and the Naboo Star fighter, Black Krstanzen, Cad Bane, but not the Mod Squad.

So Bane is alive, right? The light on his chest blinking and beeping meant he survived?

I thought the rapidly blinking red light meant his heart had stopped.

We NEED that song! Come on Weird Al!

Not even Trent Reznor looks like Trent Reznor anymore.

Yeah, but I'm never not gonna appreciate really good tech that brings something impossible to life, and the detail work to do that well.

I appreciate the work that went in for the technical achievement, but it's just not enough on its own. Which is part of the reason writing is so sloppy these days.

 

[greygoose]

This tickled me...

 

[ZE_501]

Wait!!

By Fett murdering an entire group of people for a crime they did not commit does that make Fett the ESB villain we were hoping to get

They were just aliens. It's not like he murdered humans.

If that were the case I wouldn't be selling my Marvel **** on here and eBay!

I like to think of myself as the Star Wars fan in the background. You can't make out the disgust on his face in this shot, though.

 

[The Buffinator]

It would have been hilarious if this was the opening moment of BOBF, lol.

Cue up catchy theme song that you can't get out of your head for days.

“….Believe it or not I'm walkin' on air, I never thought I could feel so free. Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me”, etc., etc…

You're welcome.
