The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[Neal136]

For everyone that wanted to see Fett majestically blasting his way out of the Sarlacc ... anyone think that his jetpack would've still been broken at that point from the shot it took sending him in there in the first place? My guess is that he had to crawl out.

I think Fett is better as a side character. The episode didn't capture me like the first episode of the Mandalorian.

Parkour chase felt out of place. Michael Scott and Dwight's voices were in my head shouting "parkour!" during that scene. Looking at the storyboards during the end credits, it seems they planned for TM to be shirtless during the duration of captivity but I guess he couldn't lose the gut in time as envisioned from the art.

Those assassins looked like Mortal Kombat videogame characters and their parkour was the most non Star Wars thing in a Star Wars movie I have ever witnessed lol

It was Rose Tico Space Leia levels of bad!

Also, I mentioned this before, but nobody seems to have any answers......when he digs his way out and we see the Barge wreckage, there's a very clearly dead Sarlacc tentacle just laying there lifeless. Was the Sarlacc dead?? Probably a lot easier to push your way out of its guts if it's dead. But WHY is it dead?

If it helps make the logic of the escape more palatable to you, then just put those two elements together: the barge explosion caused the Sarlacc death.

Why not? It was a pretty big ship, so maybe concussive force, heat, and burned fuel killed the Sarlacc and made it easier for Fett to break out of it.

How Boba should have left the sarlacc:

OK, not as bad as I was expecting... but not very good. Just very meh. Very lazy. Sets, concepts, execution looked cheap and lazy.

All that was missing was some whip-cracks in the score.

As soon as they entered that bar or brothel or whatever it was in Mos Espa(?) -- I couldn't take my eyes off the potted palm trees in the doorway. Truly lazy set dressing for a galaxy far, far away.

Hey Star Wars ... do better!

 

[Bleah]

Boba: "Jabba ruled with fear, I intend to rule with respect."
Fennec: "..."
Boba: "What? Didn't I change my ship's name from Slave 1 to Firespray? Respect!"

All I could think while watching them was the guy in Casino Royale did it 1000x better.

Hey, give Jennifer Beals’ character some credit - she sent her interior decorator to a galaxy far, far away in the future for those palm trees!

 

[Asta]

Actually this being so bad it actually made the ST look even better now

It wasn't that bad.

 

[TheeWanderer]

Actually this being so bad it actually made the ST look even better now

This is probably the most overdramatic statement yet.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Someone posted Fett went into the sarlacc thin and came out fat.

Palm trees, yet no Shoretroopers???

Do these creators not know Star Wars lore???

 

[Wor-Gar]

I didn't like the Power Rangers with their red shields.

Do you think the Mayor sent them?

 

[Khev]

Someone posted Fett went into the sarlacc thin and came out fat.

He sucked so much air from the Stormie's helmet he blew up like a balloon.

What a ****** 1st episode. Not much else to add as everyone else has already conveyed most of the same feelings I had watching this.

Instead of The Book Of Boba Fett, it should be called The Emasculating Of Boba Fett...

*** whooped by female Tusken Raider, led around by a little Tusken kid on a chain, letting a Rodian belittle him, having Fennec be both smarter and a fiercer warrior than him... Can't wait till that girl on the floaty thing rides in and whoops his *** too in an upcoming episode. After all, the real fans wanted to see the new caring and understanding likeable good guy Fett, not the most feared Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy. Wonder how many minutes in total he'll actually wear his bucket. Because you know, everyone is watching this to see Temura in action, not actually Boba Fett..

This 1st episode pretty much makes me want to stop watching weekly and just wait till all the rest of the episodes are available and watch them all at once like a movie.

The Roller Coaster ride that is Disney's Star Wars...

 

[The Entity]

Well... it was not what I expected. My take on things:

-Seeing Kamino, Geonosis and the Sarlacc escape. Not a bad way to start.
-Escape was too fast.
-Always fun to see Jawas be a-holes.
-Too much Tusken stuff.
-F that Rodian. He should've broken his neck, first chance he got.
-Those damn real world robot dogs took me right out of it.
-Fennec is cool.
-Kill that ******* Twi'Lek. No, don't let him go awa... and he's gone...
-Keep your damn helmet on Boba. Not here to see your face.
-I guess Boba kinda forgot he had a jetpack when being surrounded by lame guys with shields.
-Boba was brutal in his return in the Mandalorian, here he fights like Robert DeNiro in The Irishman.
-Parkour!!
-He conveniently gets injured so he can return to the bacta tank...
-Great. More Tusken stuff.
-I can see why Anakin killed the children too...
-Hmm... a strange new monster. Kinda cool, kinda lame, kinda John Carteresque, kinda Harryhausen... yeah. At least something happens.
-I guess Sarlac acid had no effect on Boba's blinding pearly whites.
-Oh it's over already...

I'm starting to get a feeling they should've left Boba alone after his glorious return in The Mandalorian. His first appearance in his armor in that show can't be topped. I will watch this show and I hope it gets better, but so far this was as unimpressive as Marvel's Phase 4 D+ offerings.

-Great. More Tusken stuff.

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I saw some scenes from the first episode. It doesn't look that bad.

The sarlacc escape was kind of quick and underwhelming.

Boba Fett looks like a boiled egg in those flashbacks.

I've seen fan stuff on Youtube better produced. Who approved this? Looks like a Halloween costume someone's grandma sewed for them.

-Great. More Tusken stuff.

But to be fair, this is the Harry Potter glasses huge eye-pipes tribe, which is totally different to the John Lennon glasses teeny eye-pipes tribe seen in Mando. I think I'll stick with the goldilocks "just right" eye-pipes tribe seen in the OT.
