The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

[pukunui]

And with that, there's nothing SW or Marvel-related that isn't a making of until the end of march with Moon Knight.

Obi-Wan Kenobi now has a start date of May 25:

And yes, it is also set on Tatooine.

I wondered when it was going to start,and also when I can expect "this doesn't feel like star wars" to start all over again

The media we consume is focused in the Jedi but what have we actually seen?

The Jedi mostly interact with the powerful eg rulers and on the battlefield.

They're like the SAS how many people even in a warzone actually interact with them?

So they're famous but real information is very short. There was 10000 around half died in the clone wars.

Dooku has a quote onscreen of 10000 world's joining them with your support. That's just one leader of the CIS.

Off screen there's less than one Jedi for every 10000 world's.

What is known is mostly myth and legends before the purge.

After the purge around 200 survive.

Then you have a totalitarian regimes burying knowledge of them and slandering them.

Anyone with real knowledge of the jedi keep their mouths shut if they know what's good for them.

By Rey's time there's virtually none left Luke's academy failed and it's been 50 years since Jedi in any numbers have existed.

So 200 surviving Jedi 2 million+ world's and they're in decline and in hiding.

Star Wars millennials know virtually nothing the vast majority of Gen X and older never met one and only know the pop culture stuff and those perceptions still filtered through 20 years of propaganda burying them.

The clones that served with them serve the empire along with most of the political elite who may have met them.

That leaves those reasonably few civilians from the clone wars and the occasional random on Coruscant or elsewhere that met one 20+ years ago.

The Empire didn't bury knowledge of the Jedi existing but onscreen it's shown that pre purge the Jedi weren't universally popular either.

A lightsaber is recognizable but the person seeing it probably can't tell you much beyond that.

1 jedi could(and did) travel to dozens or even hundreds of worlds helping with various problems, and not just the leaders. They were protectors, not socialites. Here on Earth we have 0 Jedi. Not one. And yet millions of us know who they are and what they do. Because stories and movies. Stories, first hand experiences, and holos would have been circulating the Republic for thousands and thousands of years.
It's not possible. Like literally impossible, for 20 years to erase that, even with an empire that everyone knows is evil trying to spread propaganda. Nothing you've said counters those things that I've laid out.

I love how Amy Sedaris said what everyone has been thinking (Grogu is a terrible name).

I laughed out loud.

The rancor was cool. So were those droids. Like droidekas on steroids (but without the rolling).

The rancor was great. The only thing I was scratching my head over is why Fett's people were shooting at it after cheering it for saving them. That whole scene with Mando, the rancor and Baby Yoda(I refuse to use his name) seemed unnecessary.

It's a pity they brought back Cad Bane just to kill him off. That said, I like that, despite how stiff and old Cad was looking, he was still faster with his gun, but then surprise! Boba learned a new trick! From those Tuskens that Cad was pooh-poohing too.

Yeah. I was hoping he'd live as well. I also didn't care for the 4 or 5 quick camera switches showing Fett sneering over Bane's body from slightly different angles.

I'm curious to see what becomes of Cobb Vanth. Fennec's cyber-guts are hidden away under her armor. Is Cobb going to be a more obvious cyborg, like the Mods, or a more discrete one like Fennec? And will he go back to being the marshal of Freetown, or will we see him join Din on his adventures in space?

Did they say he was alive. When Vanth's people show up they say he was gunned down in cold blood, implying he died.

If Boba thinks he and Fennec aren't suited to being rulers, then why did he do all that? Just like Cad, I can't figure out Boba's angle. Is he perhaps going to hand over rulership to roboCobb?

They shifted to Krrsantan when they were discussing who to give it to. I think the wookie ends up in charge.

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

He said he doesn't remember owning a droid, and he never owned R2.

Isn't he in the bacta tank in the post-credits scene?

I didn't see that, so I just went back and looked and that does indeed look like him.

I had to rewind that scene when I watched it, because at first glance I didn't recognise him.

Also, talking of unexpected reprieves, honourable mention for the two poor Gamorreans, who unlike the Mods and the wookiee were not lucky enough to get one.

Orcs always get the short end of things.

OK, so we've had "Seven Samurai" and "Lone Wolf and Cub." Who is willing to bet this won't be "Yojimbo"?

(EDIT - For the North American audience that would be "The Magnificent Seven", a movie not yet made, and "A Fistfull of Dollars"/"Last Man Standing")
