The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[The Buffinator]

No one here gets that reference but me.

Starts with "Quad"... ends with "Rophenia".

Au contraire! But then I'm out of my brain....on the 5:15...

The "Mando" y'all originally wanted, and now have already seen.

This series will float upon nostalgia -- I guarantee it.

Boba Fett; No Way Home.

Trailers have already shown a B'omarr monk, 8D8, a strong suggestion of a Rancor in the pit again, and shots of what is almost certainly Tosche Station with Camie and Laze. And every clip altogether amounts to only a couple minutes taken from just the *first* episode.

It'd be fun to make a list of nostalgia callbacks before the show starts airing, and then we can cross off the ones that show up every week after a new episode.

Some things shouldn't be on the list because they could be necessary story-driven appearances in flashbacks (like Jabba, Han, the Sarlacc, Jango, or the ESB bounty hunters). But if we see the Lars homestead again, or a Boushh helmet, or Artoo's drink tray, or Watto's junkyard . . . those would be memberberries for the sake of memberberries, and definitely listworthy.

I got a better idea... let's make it a Drinking Game.

Every time there's a callback or a bit of nostalgia, everyone takes a drinks. We'll all get so FU'd in 1/2 hour.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Oooh, look -- Nabrun Leids! DRINK!!!!

Oh no, look, Muftak in the corner! DRINK!!!

We'll all be wasted with the biggest bit of nostalgia ever though. SAND.

Nostalgia is what's keeping Star Wars alive.

It's sad. It didn't start that way.

Nostalgia is the opposite of innovative

Very true. Going back to the well but the water is stagnant.

We'll probably all be dead within a half-hour.

That's one of the best insights I've ever seen articulated on this board.

Sneak preview below (and a good reminder to set your drinks out early in case there isn't enough time to pour between callbacks).

 

[Stront]

Man, I don't miss those days of drinking LOL
Next week lads, can't wait, nostalgia bait be damned, bring it on.

Come to think of it (as I quote myself -- whoa) ... there's deep irony in this exchange on a board dominated by nostalgic collectors.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Of course there is. I enjoy the nostalgia I get from collecting items representing some of my favorite movies from the past... but when it comes to new movies -- new memories -- I really want innovation. In hopes to create new nostalgia for my future self.

Wait till people realize certain deleted Tosche Station locals just became canon again...

Probably unnamed, throwaway easteregg, yet looks like an older Camie and Fixer are who Fett saves from the current Tatooine gangs.
With diehard OT fans FavrOni & Rodriguez involved that's no accident.

 

[Mondragon]

That's straight one of Serji-X Arrogantus gangs swoop bikes
If you are asking who, you fail at Star Wars fandom.
Now we know who Danny Trejo will be playing!

Sergio Aragonés would be proud.

That Marvel SW is garbage. All of it.

 

[Mondragon]

So said Lucas, then he re-purposed the crazy old Jedi Don-Wan-Quixote as Qui-Gon, and the cartoonish Jaxxon as Jarjar.

Also FaverOni already snuck the Rik Duel Gang in Mandalorian, as Mando's first bounties, so you know they are fans ....

Let's face it - Lucas was tapped out after ROTJ. Then novelists/video game writers made the best content for SW since. KK pulled an even worse Lucas and boxed out anything good. At least Lucas had the foresight to keep quality books/games/other media going.

I stopped at Force Snakes.
