I do not post in threads very often because I stay out of Star Wars discourse now and just enjoy what I enjoy from it. Mandalorian has kept my interest in new content after Rise of Skywalker pretty much stole all excitement I had for SW. Mandalorian is respectful to the lore, the fans, and created intriguing new characters and story I want to follow.
Boba Fetts return was something I was so nervous for and frankly did not want. I have a large Fett collection and he has been my favorite toy since age 5. I feared they would make him too much “the ultimate extreme bad guy who has a quip for any situation” or make him twirl his gun a lot to show how truly cool he is.
Fetts return I thought was handled great for the most part (besides his helmet removal once he got his “face” back) I was excited for this series. If memory serves, I cannot recall being this blindsided by the terrible quality of writing and directing in a long time. This show is shockingly bad. The second episode I thought was a step up quality wise but the quality overall, along with the baffling handling of this iconic character is insulting. I thought the creators of Mandalorian understood Fetts character and would give us a show I looked forward to weekly. Now instead of excitement, this feels like a weekly punch to the back of the head.
I won’t go into specifics because you have all covered them so well, I just wanted to thank you all for letting me know I’m not crazy or alone in feeling like I am living in bizarro world, witnessing a weekly toilet bowl swirly to my lifelong love of Boba Fett.
