The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

based on the last few comments




yeah

I will never forget the wisest words ever uttered as pertains to Star Wars:

"Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back someday
I'll be playing this part till I'm old and grey
The long-term contract I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
With my Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda..."

We want something new, but not too new. But also make it familiar, but not too familiar.

Vader hunted down and killed the Jedi, and Luke's told that he murdered his father. By biological necessity that had to have happened after Luke was conceived, which means the Jedi were still around until at least shortly before Luke's birth.

Luke is told that by an inveterate liar.

Obi-Wan also said he didn't know Artoo.

This was strangely off key. Too many action scenes had moments where things felt like half a second too late. And of course the complete lack of any coherent strategy, from all sides.

If i think about it, the Rancor is the show's best developed character unique to the show. I would not miss it if there is no S2.

Obi-Wan also said he didn't know Artoo.

Yeah, but we were talking about someone's perceptions of the timeline based upon when they first saw Episode IV, before we knew those were lies.

And we got the Grogu bubble, and a mid-credits scene that hints at a JustifFett series. Maybe. Overall I liked it more than the early episodes. It played out in a satisfying way, for me.

JustiFett? I like RoboCobb better.

Cobb Synth?

I just did a binge watch and give it a c, the western themes and easter eggs were fun, but it never brought anything cool and the Mandalorian and Skywalker episodes seemed weird. I would have liked to have seen more Tuskens andless Tail-head sycophant. The final battle was okay but without blood or injury a bit dry.
My mind did start plotting it out as an rpg scenario withs its 6 factions and recruitment tracks, so that was useful.
I'd be okay with a sequel featuring RoboCobb

 

[ART!]

The structure of the season is very odd. If you're going to have these massive cameos, maybe spread them out a bit more so they don't seem like aberrations. Maybe tell the story chronologically, so it builds momentum.

Anyway, the whole thing felt pretty darn Star Wars-y, for the most part, so I'm glad I watched it.

K now they have Boba setup as Daimyo (not crime lord).

Now let's get a real Season 2 where we can show Boba:

Spoiler

• learning he has a sister, and pulling a family moment that would make vin diesel proud.
• talking with Mace as an adult getting closure on that part of his life
• bringing the tuskens and the settlers in a mutally beneficial relationship.
• oh and training with his buddy Din to get him up to snuff with the darksaber with his new beskar stick.
• bringing the waters back to tatoonine, as a trial run before the restoration of Mandalore.
• setup the bounty hunter cartel so we can see all Boba's buddies in both alliance and contention (Bossk and BK alone could drive serious stories).

- and a ton of crime syndicate drama as the Crimson Dawn tries to movie in. As well as at least one episode where a 1 elderly tig fromm shows up and messes everything up.

(fun fact, he needs Cad Bane's hat in his throne room).

what the hell, if I'm in my "want a pony moment.": I want the following.

-if everybody is related to everybody, what the heck. Make the female mod the daughter of those Droid characters that own the White witch, and she just got her inheritance.

• Let's get some of Fennec's backstory and why she's so "ride and die" after some of her assassinations come back to haunt her.
• Ditto with Black Krrsantan.
• I want Peli Motto to trick out Fett's ship while being in some sort of relationship with that Twi'lek Majordomo, whose now Fett's Majordomo.
• The Ashoka / Boba misunderstanding fight before they team up against thrawn with all their friends.
• just more Danny Trejo...end of story. We need to see him with a machete trouncing a bad guy at least once.

and great gravy, no more flashbacks. Rodriguez needs to rewatch Kung Fu, Highlander- the series and Angel and write a report on them before he is allowed to do them again. Pacing was one of the biggest flaws of the series
