The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[Garlador]

So RR came up with what he calls “The Fennec Look” where she puts Fett in his place by a single look.

Great so instead of a bad *** bounty hunter RR went and just gave me my daily routine with my wife, just wonderful just what I want from SW.

How about this jem of a quote from KK:

“He (Fett) really depends on her.”

Ughh

Some people hate Fennec for being the ruthless, cunning, proficient killer Boba should have been.

And I wound up liking her since she was the ruthless, cunning, proficient killer Boba should have been.

In a show like this, at least SOMEONE had teeth and used them.

In the doc TM is all for a changed softened Fett with a cultural history (his NZ stuff) but when the show was released he was all about complaining that Fett was given too much dialogue he was talking too much especially dialogue that made him look like an *****.

Expectations vs reality.

“So you’re going to play the funniest character in Star Wars ever, a breakthrough character for CG and performance capture, in the most anticipated Star Wars movie in over 25 years. He’s called “Jar-Jar Binks”. He’s going to be huge.”

The doc was pretty clear in their message.

They decided that the Pit softened Fett he is a changed man.

Ok fine BUT then why make him a crime boss

Yeah, like Fett the mysterious and feared bounty hunter hadn't almost been killed like a hundred times before falling into the sarlaac pit. Fett would have just dusted himself off and immediately went for the Slave 1.

This "explanation" is beyond idiotic. They turned Boba Fett into an incompetent, moronic, out of shape bald simpleton New Zealander. Well done.

JF specifically said that keeping Fett the same silent criminal would’ve been boring and stale with no character growth and that’s not what Star Wars is about.

Why make him a crime boss that doesn't do any crime!

That is perhaps the most disappointing and disturbing part of all this, that Jon Favreau was involved and in cahoots. It leaves me with almost no faith in Star Wars going forward.

I would agree with Favreau that you need to have character growth - character growth in this case meaning 'becomes a good guy' - I've never had any objection to that trajectory for Boba Fett. But you have to show it happening. They skipped right to the end product and just said ''oh, it happened in the Sarlacc''.

Why does he have to be a good guy when he clearly isn't. He can be a bad guy who still has some likable qualities. The mafia for example is full of guys like that. And why did they feel the need to lie about what they were going to do with Boba Fett in his Mandalorian cameo?

The only correct explanation is that Lucasfilm is comprised of idiots. And worse yet idiots who don't understand and in some cases hate what Star Wars once was.

He must also think that Zora Bliss whatever her stupid name was in TROS was excellent character growth for a masked character.

How Mando S1/S2 even exist is a miracle that we really need to appreciate lol

I knew you would come around eventually jye. I won't tell Khev.

Nerds arguing over who is a bigger nerd...what a nerd thing to do...lol

I have not re-watched BOBF nor will I for a very long time if ever again. However, this thread is like fine wine...it gets better with age.

Hold on a second…..

Just so you know my DNA is programmed to never speak ill of ST Han, Luke and Leia it will never happen.

True I did say the other day in the Luke snow speeder thread that rogue Luke would hold better market value then ST Luke but that wasn’t a dig at ST Luk……

Crap

I can’t help it Mark Hamill is the only actor who’s aging and illness actually hurts me and makes me physically break down no other actor does that to me yes of course I was sad when Fisher and Chadwick died especially Chadwick that was devastating because of his age but when Luke Skywalker is gone I am going to be a broken person that one is going to hurt.

I love Arnold Schwarzenegger but I won’t break down when he’s gone he was larger than life he was fun and I will celebrate his fun.

But Luke is part of my DNA before I even had anything else he is one of my first memories outside of my family unit.

Nope I LOVE ME some ST Luke that will never change.

Ughh when he passes i’m going to be a mess lol

I’m not looking forward to that at all no sir.

Favreau wrote the script for BOBF. It was ****. So yeah, won’t have high hopes for upcoming milking shows. Hope they’ll give us more cool figures though!

Favreau gave us what -- Iron Man, the widely panned Iron Man 2 (although I admit that I liked it as a fun movie) some good to great episodes of The Mandalorian ... that series was uneven and had some poor choices before getting straight Filoni'd ... and the pile of hot garbage BoBF. The man is overrated at best but hey, he's laughing all the way to the bank so what do I know.

I think this comment shows our age because I couldn't stop laughing!

But so true...

 

[Mandible]

The references to Laurence of Arabia and The Godfather were the most embarrassing statements I've ever heard from a filmmaking group. I didn't know whether to laugh or vomit.

Talk about misguided, truly deluded, egotistical, ******s.
