The Book of Boba Fett

If he needs all this Bacta to survive, how did me make do while wandering around for 5 years?

I agree that his time both with and after the Tuskens is probably longer than the show suggests. But I also agree with MaxZHun - they are trying to cram way too much into these episodes, and it makes the pacing and timing of events feel “off”.

Like, how long was Boba wandering around before he decided to try and reclaim Slave I? (Oops, I mean his Firespray gunship.)

Was he really just putzing around the desert for a few years without any earnest attempt to exact vengeance on the swoop gang? And that Pyke leader, who probably tipped off the swoop gang about the Tuskens? I wouldn’t expect Boba to let all that go unanswered just because he couldn’t get to his ship.

On a different note, who is “the bloated pig that double-crossed” Boba? Is it that Pyke leader? He hardly seemed like a “bloated pig.” Bib seems to fit that description far better, and a double-cross would explain why Boba just walked in and killed him without a word, but when did Bib double-cross him?

Was Bib in cahoots with the Pykes? Did Bib/Pykes wipe out the Tuskens and pin it on the Kintan Striders? I feel like there are pieces missing here.

I think he spent the majority of the time with them, & was fine living with them until the slaughter. After that it was just the 2 of them & he spent that time, however long it was, planning his revenge, with step one being getting his ship.

From everything I've read it's been far more entertaining than the show too. Does anyone here have publishing contacts? We could try and get this thing in print!

Well it certainly is more entertaining then the actual show

I don't think he needs it to survive, I think he needs it to thrive.

He needed the tank after going into the Sarlacc unprotected to get his armor. His armor protected him before since he had it on.

Just seems like if Boba could take out all those miners at Tosche Station with no prep and nothing but a blaster and a gaffi stick, he could (and would) have done some damage to the swoop gang without needing a ship?

I will admit, it was pretty sweet seeing Slave I descend from the sky and pick them off. I just don’t know why Boba would have waited that long to exact vengeance. Some carefully-planned ambush combining his BH and Tusken skills….

I feel like Favreau is sometimes rushing to get to cool moments that he wants to see on-screen without really thinking if these story beats - or how we get to them - make sense within the story itself.

Sneek peek for Wednesday. Fett takes his new biker gang to Kamin

The thing is “Slave” doesn’t necessarily have to have a negative connotation. What if Slave I was just one of several like patrol ships (Slave II, Slave III, etc) that were somehow slaved to a master/control ship once upon a time. I am thinking more of a technical usage of the term rather than a reference to human bondage. That seems like that would be a viable and inoffensive explanation they could use.

I wonder how they teach hydraulic systems today without the analogy of slave & master to solidify understanding. Can vocational training still use male & female?

 

[sbaxter]

I’m willing to bet we never hear anyone address the ship by any name..

Well, it's tradition!

In other news, Daryl Hall and John Oates released "Maneater" as the first single from their album H2O back in October of 1982. Yes -- the song will be 40 years-old this fall.



I'll be out back, listening to Hall & Oates while I dig my own grave!

Or it could be a throwback to Legends’ “Open Seasons” when Jango was sold into slavery, and he named his ship “Slave I” as a reminder to always be in control and never let that happen to him again?

Also, am I the only one thinking they didn’t hire Jennifer Beals to just stand around and look pretty, dropping exposition as needed? There’s got to be more going on there.

 

[Usagi Pilgrim]

Pure speculation here, but how would you feel if this show was setting up Mando getting the ship? He'd rename it & they'd kill 2 problems with one stone.

Granted that Boba gets a worthy send off.

Not that there’s a problem with her standing around looking pretty.

 

[Wolfsburg]

It def does seem like an odd bit of casting for no more than the character has done thus far. Maybe Favreau always had a crush on her or something. Lol

 

[CopperRevan]

I have a question (not an opinion) for clarification. Boba's dreams in real time are successive right? Anyone else thinks it's weird that his first dream he remembers being out of the Sarlacc in his armor and the Jawas stripping him of his armor and that this dream he doen't remember where his armor is but thinks it's still in the Sarlacc....Then gets out of the bacta tank and is fully healed?

I honestly wondered if that was gonna happen by the end of season 2 of Mando. I do think an insider said Mando’s new ship is really cool but is it Slave I? Who knows…

Absolutely not.

I told my wife Mando was getting the Slave 1 after season 2 of Mando

Episode 7 of The Book of Fennec Shand, co-staring Temura as Boba Fett.. 6/10. (I lean more towards a 5/10 tbh)

“Help me recover my Firespray gunship” - Boba Fett

“Shes called Slave I” - Jango Fett

Sighhhhhh
None of the characters in this episode act with any logic at all. They just DO thing..
They even have the audacity to make it so that Fennec is the one who kills the Sarlacc.. like ****..
Boy im sure glad she knows her way so well around this ship shes never been in before
Meanwhile Bobas just “there” in the scene failing like usual. Did the impact with the Sailbarge injure his brain?

Bk just attacks and maimes random patrons in the casino unprovoked.. and the logic of the owners isnt to call security or anything but rather to offer to pay all his debts?? Riiightt

StarWars has been slowly transformed into a walking satire of itself.. The grueling, dirty, lived in Universe footed in realism is all but dead now, largely driven through the desire not to offend…

Well, they did kind of waste Amy Sedaris in the other show, too……
