The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[chrisstbh]

Disney sure do hate their legacy characters.

• Han: Dead
• Luke: Dead
• Leia: Dead
• Ackbar: Dead
• Bib Fortuna: Dead
• Yoda: Coulda just lightning airstriked Palpatine at any moment
• Death Star: Another one
• Chewbacca: Ignored by Leia after Han dies, she hugs Rey instead
• C-3PO: still annoying as ever
• R2-D2: Kinda doesn't do anything bar being a glorified USB stick
• Palpatine: Somehow alive then dead again
• Lando: Kinda creepy towards someone that may or may not be implied to be his daughter
• Boba Fett: Absolute clown

At least Max Rebo is alive and well.

They're the worst kind of space cops. They should hit the space gym and stop with the self-righteous ticketing.

On a less tongue-in-cheek level it also serves to further shrink and cheapen the Star Wars galaxy. I can see local enforcement on the planetary level like the Cloud Car Cops on Bespin, but once again going back to ANH -- the galaxy was once a BIG, lonely place where one could get lost. Now you're just going to randomly run into space cops every time you fly around some (supposedly) backwater world?

Not only that, but it's the one *same* space cop encountering Din every time. At Nevarro, at that ice planet with the frog lady, and now at Tatooine... always the same guy (with either Filoni or this new guy tagging along in the other X-Wing).

So the SW galaxy is now basically the equivalent in scope of Hazzard County in the Dukes of Hazzard. This one dude in his X-Wing is Rosco, Filoni is Cletus, and the new guy is Enos. The Naboo Starfighter is already making crazy getaways like the General Lee. And if they ever need to go full-on parady, these shows even have their Bo (Katan) and Luke.

The shrunken galaxy logic is the same cartoon level as the mechanic lady going out of her way to note how rare the old Naboo Starfighter is, and then having Jawas easily find parts for it in no time on a backwater desert planet. Some truly amazing coincidences to move plot progression... just like in cartoons.

Yikes, they really took one big dump on all of those characters.

Imagine not putting Luke, Leia and Han in a scene together...

There was supposed to be a funeral for Han in TLJ, might've made that movie slightly better, not much though.

I doubt it. I admire your positivity though.

Like one midichlorian better.

For over a thousand generations Ajp was the guardian of positive Star Wars energy and wisdom. Ajp was capable of Khev-splaining even the most mundane throwaway moment in Star Wars in not only a canonical believable way but also increasing its awesomeness tenfold in the process... that is before the dark times, before TROS and BoBF.

Ajp is more Star Wars cynic now than blind fan, bored and insulted, using his Khev-splaining power to point out Star Wars flaws and shrinking its magic in the universe. Ajp is a good friend

 

[Khev]

Yep, that makes for an insanely small galaxy. Sure it works for a small rural location like Hazzard County like you said but a galaxy or even solar system? Ridiculous.

Khev-splaining, I like that, lol.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Khev-splain the above.

 

[Khev]

Khev-splain the above.

I already did. He's a moron whose consciousness fused with the real Fett's while inside the Sarlacc, lol.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Then the episode that didn't have Boba in it is the best episode so far.

Directed by a girl... and NOT by Robert Rodriguez

I must have missed that. So there's an ***** clone is Sarlacc's gullet... Boba Fett falls in... ***** clone mind melds with him through Sarlacc digestion... and he manages to crawl out imagining that he's wearing Boba Fett's armor... when in reality, he's wearing white pajamas the way the Tuskens found him?

Is that correct?

Yep and then as his real memories start replacing his borrowed Fett memories his newly acquired abilities (badass combat skills on Tython) start to fade. Suddenly he has no idea how to use Mandalorian equipment, fly a spaceship, remember its name, etc., and is confused about what even happened to the armor in the first place.

THIS is perfect for a spin-off of BOBF

Stormtrooper...a journey

(focuses on PTSD, Mental Health, and a Win Win Go Get 'em attitude!)

 

[Bleah]

I rewatched the last episode of Mando. In the few scenes that Boba had, he has been reliable and more threatening than all of his time in the BoBF episodes combined so far. Funny though it felt like foreshadowing when Koska said he'll be talking through a window of a bacta tank.

Holy crap, lol.

When Koska flipped him over that accelerated the fading of his Fett memories even further.

 

[Wor-Gar]

So this is not the Book of Boba Fett.... but rather the Fantasy of a Common Clone Grunt.

Interesting.... and sadly makes more sense than the show as promoted.

 

[matticus]

Book of Boba Fett? Final chapter should be episode 7. Kill this pathetic excuse for a former cool SW character (which I think is clearly the Lucasfilm plan at this point) and hand the palace over to Fennec. Mando shouldn't be sharing the spotlight at this point. When Mando dies at the end of his final season, Bo-Katan will take over and "The Force Is Female" initiative will be fully complete.

Yeah she's done a good job directing these D+ Star Wars shows. They should give her more.

Disappointed in RR. His episodes were the weakest and its not like the better episodes were all that great either.
