Dear Disney

[Wolfsburg]

If they wanted to turn Boba Fett into the Lone Ranger, they should've at least been upfront about it. The benevolent crimelord that didn't seem to have any desire to benefit from a criminal enterprise didn't make much sense at all. They never sold me on the idea that he'd want a position of leadership anyways...

He should've been a darker, colder reflection of Mando, tracking bounties, keeping his head down (and helmet on) and living by his wits. I would've been just fine with that. I would've loved to have seen Andor's production team tackle TBOBF. They seem to get so much more right, especially with the overall vibe and feel that a Boba Fett show could've benefited from.

It seems as though Disney now likes to hire writers who, when they see a BIG RED BUTTON, with a sign that reads, "DO NOT PRESS," they press the @#ll out of it.

...and only "good stuff" is their fault.

I heard the price hike was due to the price of bananas going up,fearing a writer’s strike Disney caved and gave the writers a 4 banana increase. I don’t blame Disney for calling people toxic who see though their BS,that is easier to deal with than monkey writer’s hurling feces at them.

I remeber when people used to say, "get a team of monkeys on typewriters and they will eventually produce the works of William Shakespear."

and then, one day I thought about it.

and I realized how false that is. Monkeys would crap on the typewriters, throw them, jump up and down on them, just the odds of a monkey holding a [shift] key for a upper case letter has got to be astronomically IMPROBABLE.

And remember, just because it *IS* possible doesn't mean it is probable. But they are actively pursuing the improbable and crying when called on it.

I think the old EU portrayed him the best. He kept hunting and when Mandalore wanted him to lead, they had to really convince him. He really didn't want anything to do with them or other Mandos. Boba Fett was also feared well into his older years. There was no scoffing at his presence like those idiot scooter dorks. I mean when anyone in Mando armor walks in, people take notice, but when it was him they freaked out thinking he was there to get them.

Yes! Exactly!

This sort of reminds me of a definition to (imo) a misunderstood word.Definition-(adjective) A state of awareness only achieved by those dumb enough to find injustice in everything except their own behavior.The word rhymes with joke,which it really is.

Been watching it too. White guy playing a Spaniard.

Hey, that’s Mr. John Robinson to you!

Besides, the original Zorro stories were written by an American white guy, not a Spaniard. So there’s that.

Did you go to Spain lately?

The Book of Boba Fell Flat on his Face.

"The Book of Boba Flatt" that's the next installment

They should've just never done Boba Fett to begin with. Fett needs to be a bad guy, or at least an anti hero. But, they already did the anti hero thing with Mando. No way Disney is going to produce a Star Wars show about a bad guy, it just isn't going to happen. They should've just left it alone.

You made my eyes water while I was smiling.

Thank you!

Oh the look on the butler's face when he said, " I don't speak Spanish, in Spanish". Love that movie !

Agreed. I honestly thought, when it became evident Boba Fett was being brought back into the fray, that he might be used as a dark foil of Mando, a vision of the brutality Mando could be capable of if he had made different decisions. I thought perhaps Gideon (or Thrawn himself) would recruit Boba Fett to track down Mando and Grogu and we'd be in for a tense, cat and mouse game between the bounty hunter with a heart of gold, and the calculating, ruthless bounty hunter that was capable of anything to catch his quarry. Maybe in the same vein as a Terminator, to use that analogy. In my mind, that would've been fun and exciting to see. I really thought "Oh, Mando is in trouble..." when I saw that glorious shot of Slave I streaking across the sky. I was completely blindsided when Fett only cared about retrieving his armor and once he got that back, actually decided to help Mando. Lolwut? Then TBOBF continued down the weird, do-gooder track and just went off the rails...

This way Boba is a Bounty Hunter *AND* a dazzling dancer. A Bounty Hunter-Dancer.

This way the audience has TWICE the investment in the character. If they die, you lose the equivalent of TWO PEOPLE!

I don't know if audiences are prepared for another loss of that magnatude.

Yes? It's only, very logical, since Spaniards tend to be... white.

Should have said, typical white American actor of the time. Much like the Charlie Chan movies.

As 90% of Europe
