The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

As seen on Facebook...

I’m coming around to your camp, Turd. Fighting the Wookiee should’ve been epic…and it’s Temura in his undies! I guess it’s good that he wasn’t wearing Lukes bacta tank diaper…

It's even better the scene wasn't modelled after Oliver Reed and Alan Bates nude wrestling in Ken Russell's Women in Love.

Jesus, what have I just watched??

There's no way this is what they had in mind when they filmed that little teaser. There's just no way. What in the hell happened between filming that and actually starting production on this thing??

I'm preferring the flashback scenes, as when it gets back to the present things are often awkward. They feel a bit like old Saturday morning cartoons, or the Droids or Ewoks series.

The flashbacks have been the only decent part. I particularly liked him bonding with the tribe last week, and I was not expecting them to be killed offscreen the very next episode. Reminds me of when I was a kid and I loved "The Ewok Adventure" and then in the first 30 seconds of the sequel the entire family got killed. I never watched either movie again. Too depressing.

I felt bad for Boba, mournfully burning the bodies of his adopted "family." Clearly the best material is the stuff that's just visual.....cause as soon as we get to the "present" and "The Streets of Mos Espa" this **** just gets bonkers.

MACHETE just showed up with a baby Rancor. And Boba Fett just lets them come inside!! Two things you do NOT want in your house are a strange Rancor and Machete!!

By the time we got to that ******** chase scene I realized exactly what I was watching....you were close when you suggested "Droids" or "Ewoks"....but no. This is straight up late 1970s Marvel Comics Star Wars come to life. I will not be even remotely surprised if Jaxxon is the next dude to just show up in Boba's bedroom.

Starsky and Hutch power slide incoming...

...and the piece de resistance...

I think the piece de resistance was actually smashing through a portrait of Jabba as two workers carried across the street, like this was some kind of Laurel and Hardy routine.

At some point I'm going to force myself to re-watch this series, but I don't think I'll ever be able to sit through that chase scene again.

I don't know what kind of lizards Rodriguez and Favreau have been snorting, but I'd like to get my hands on some.

I can't even process what I've just witnessed.

That's Ralph McQuarrie concept art too. Clearly LFL are sending a message

I missed that as I was trying to get through it faster by hitting the five second skip button.

Had to re-watch it just to make sure it was real.

The real Boba Fett is in the painting. This is all a lizard dream.

This is straight up late 1970s Marvel Comics Star Wars come to life.

Well, it *has* canonised the Hoojibs.

But even Marvel had a better resurrection scene:

Hoojib...

So that's what the Hutt was sponging himself with then.

 

[greygoose]

Not gonna lie, I'm pumped to watch this now. Feel like I'm missing out on this piece of crap.

 

[chrisstbh]

I can’t believe the went “here’s almost 2 whole episodes focusing on this Tusken tribe, they’re clearly going to play an important role in Boba’s character development going forward… SIKE! THEY’RE ALL DEAD, onto the next thing!”

 

[Otomofan]

I'm feeling rather crestfallen here.

This isn't like the Sequel Trilogy or anything....I went into that (well, the first two, never saw the last one) knowing full well to expect a gigantic turd sandwich.

But Boba's return on Mandalorian was just soooooo freaking cool. I loved it. All of it.

All they had to do was give more of that. Was that so hard??

Ugh. I actually feel sick to my stomach thinking about the lamest cyborg gang in sci-fi history and their cute little matching colored Vespas. What in the actual ....?

Episode 3 yawn. Lucasfilm have taken leave of their senses, this is the dullest, laziest Star Wars they have ever done. I would rather watch PT or ST. Everything is just so pedestrian from the writing (Favreau shame on you) to the acting to the action (never ever hire the director of Spy Kids ever again) to the shoddy effects.

I like Rebels so ok the first live action meiloorun. Big fat supersize of cheese, tropes, and bad acting. Plus some #**%% effects.

 

[Otomofan]

Well, at least my burning question about the fate of his Peyote-trip gaffi stick was answered.

It is now canon that he slipped onto the Razor Crest, put his armor on, and also carefully stashed his stick somewhere before rejoining the fight against the Stormtroopers on Tython.

And now it sits in his bedroom next to his jetpack and his Nintendo and stuff, safe and secure, except for whenever 8 foot tall Wookiee assassins just waltz in.

 

[Sassafras]

This latest episode is reminding me of the vertical smile from the other end of a horse.

Any minute now the lizard is gonna crawl out of my nose and end this hallucination. There's no way that was a real episode of a Star Wars show.

It's even better the scene wasn't modelled after Oliver Reed and Alan Bates nude wrestling in Ken Russell's Women in Love.

Maybe it's a Maori thing where you wrestle kangaroos in your tighty whities? And the blight has crept to Fennec - so the master assassin was too hung over or too exhausted from telling Fett what to do all day she doesn't notice Bigfoot?

 

[Magnusstewardson]

Speaking of that wookie showing up, did no one close the damn front door. And what kind of assassin shows up to kill someone without a damn weapon. This episode literally should have been Boba waking up to a knife in the chest and the twins moving in during the end credits.

A Wookiee shows up to kill someone without a weapon, they are the weapon.

 

[Magnusstewardson]

Had a weapon the episode before, and had he not channeled his inner wookie “death by my fuzzy hands” machismo he wouldn’t have been beat up by the Burger King Kids club. Fett dead, fat payday.

edit. This show is written horribly. Every episode feels like it’s missing 10 mins of story.

Next week on the Book of Boba Fett we further explore Temuera Morrison's heritage...

He would take his helmet off and ask the kangaroo if it needs a job.
