The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

[Paul Farquhar]

Yeah. Vanth was distracted by him when Cad Bane drew and shot. I wonder if he would have lost or lost as badly if he had not been distracted like that.

In The Bad Batch, there is a similar situation in which Cad Bane outdraws Hunter. Hunter was an enhanced clone, not some geezer from Tatooine. Vanth never stood a chance.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Yeah. Threepio got his mind wiped at least once after Anakin became Vader, but as far as I know, R2 never has. Oh, the secrets he could tell!

Anakin's failure to mindwipe R2 is a plot point in one TCW story.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Okay, here is a very left-field idea. Qi'ra is around the same age as Omega from The Bad Batch.

Which would set up the ending:

"Boba, I am your sister."

"Nooooooo...."

 

[Nilbog]

Cad bane is awesome, but I can't half wait to see him get his arse handed to him on a plate!
Sign of a good villain

Somehow, while they weren't actively bad or dull, those first four episodes

Weren't they?

The plotting is utterly basic. It's as if they don't even bother trying to convince us Fett is a believable crime lord. Everybody in Fett's circle introduced by this show is utterly cardboard cutout and one-dimensional.

How bad or dull must a Star Wars show be before you consider it actively so...? [emoji32]

I mean, I'm surprised since I was convinced these Fett-centric episodes had established themselves as the new definition of an actively dull SW show by now...?

 

[CapnZapp]

Its an interesting mix, Luke is probably stronger with the force overall but Ahsoka has had years of Jedi training, not to mention years of war as a jedi and general.

I would be surprised if Disney didn't treat Luke Skywalker as an omnipotent demigod by now. Anything else than him wiping the floor with these lesser/newer characters feels outright preposterous to be honest...

 

[CapnZapp]

Who knows?

Eh... if you won't even try to distinguish between canon and non-canon lore your suggestions will likely not be received as very insightful. Maybe try harder next time?

 

[CapnZapp]

Anyone else slightly surprised they just unceremoniously blew up Garsa Fwip like that?

Or maybe I'm overestimating"Jennifer Beals" as a "name"?

(If Fwip did die in that explosion there is nothing there they could not have used an unknown actress for. I kept waiting for them to reveal why they cast a known actress in a do-nothing role...)

And I guess that saxophone (?) player in Rebo's band is canonically dead now, since they made an effort to have the camera focus on them...

 

[Aeson]

Wasn't Max Rebo and his band on Jabba's craft when it went kabluey?

I'm disappointed in aspects of the show. It should be about Boba hunting bounties. There should have been run ins with the Empire. The scene with the rancor was cringey, and I hate using that word, so you know I mean it.

We still got the things I love about Star Wars. The universe became deeper as we learned more of the Tuskans. Droids, critters, aliens, lightsabers. The bit with the Xwing pilots was fun.

So far, I'm glad they made it. It enriches the whole, but it's not the best. Boba deserves better, but I'll take it over nothing.

How would that be different to The Mandalorian?
