The Book of Boba Fett

[squirk]

Speaking of Rancors, what's the deal?
ROTJ it was slow and only seemed to have advantage due to the small spaces keeping fleeing difficult.
Now it's jumping around like a chimpanzee. Did Jabba keep them drugged? Did it grow up captive and became sluggish?

If I recall correctly from the ROTJ novelization (I know, not canon, but still), your guesses are right. Jabba’s rancor was older, and also starved, abused and never let out of its pen. Luke sensed that the creature was in a lot of pain, and that he was actually putting the rancor out of its misery by killing it.

Now if that was something that George passed onto James Kahn, or something Kahn made up himself out of whole cloth, I have no idea.

So I’m not a fan of a character “dying” and then bringing him back IF the circumstances are feasible. With that, I can totally see Cad Bane coming back. Look at the spear end of of Boba’s gaffi. The tip is about the length of a small thumb. Granted, it would hurt like hell but hardly substantial enough to pierce any vital organs. Now if Boba would have in addition cut off Bane’s head, then he sure as hell better stay dead.

Shand had her guts blown out and lived...Cad Bane lives!!!!! He's just a Mod now and will be appearing on a black Vespa soon...

I think they were trying to imply a Tribe type element like back when we were young single and carefree
We were Invincible back then...Or thought we were
Driving Too fast
Drinking Too much
Doing things to Annoy the Grown Ups..

“Jumped the Vespa” will now replace “Jumped the Shark” when describing the moment when a TV series lost its direction and descended into lameness….

Half the people I have talked to so far have said the finale is fantastic and the other half have said this is the worst series they’ve ever seen.

We are gonna watch it in the next few days though! I gotta stay out of this thread until then! Just saw the tag notifications…like a bat signal for me to poke my nose in here! LOL

My girlfriend watched it with her friends they all loved it.. so strange because her and her friends all had the same exact feelings I had with all the pervious episodes

The ones that were bad were bad and the ones I thought were good so did they

I think many people get distracted once they see action…

It was awesome seeing fett use his weapons.. but other then that.. I mean even mando himself seemed nerfed..

Idk I rather no repeat all this negativity about the show.. hell with it move on to the neck one

I guess how Fett ever got on the trail of his armor and also how he tracked Mando to Tython will forever be a story for another time. Lol!

Agree. That’s why I haven’t posted in this thread since saying my piece the day after it aired. I don’t want to wallow in negativity any more.

The finale had some cool action (even some that I liked), so I think that interested a lot of people. The story and execution of the finale were terrible to me, but if you like stuff like Boba riding a Rancor more, then it may have hit the spot. I really think it stems down to this weird push/pull of trying to take the character in a new direction and also giving people what they think they wanted. If I recap a lot of the big moments they sound cool, but they were done poorly. They also were at odds with some of the cool, more in-depth storytelling that seemed to start to develop in EP2 and was then abandoned.

In either case, I’d rather just focus on what I liked about the series, hope RR never touches Star Wars again, hope Favreau rebounds in future shows, and just move on.

So that was the first, maybe the only, season of Boba Fett.
There were things that I liked. There was the second episode and the Sand People tribe. Absolutely ok, added some lore. Fennek Shand is a nice character.

But unfortunately Disney was all over the place. The series could have used a far more straightforward brutal Boba Fett who was slower to discover his "softer" side. He thus degenerated into the biggest weak point of his own series. The best episodes were therefore 5 and 6 when Prince Oberyn played the main role. The scenes with Luke were also well done, but I found it inappropriate that he made Grogo choose.

The Vesper gang was completely out of place and also the mayor and his secretary were completely childish characters that didn't fit the setting that was set up in Mandalorian.

The character Boba Fett, as we got to know him in the OT, would have been perfect for a far more serious and profound series that could have definitely used more violence and less slapstick.

What remains are the preparations for Mando season 3. Otherwise, rather a big disappointment and another dismantling of a popular OT character.

Disney has always been, and probably always will be, crap.

just came here to post this exact video

So on the prop front news, the data pad that Boba Fett writes his terms and conditions on is actually a handheld Coleco bowl-O-Matic game from the 1970s!

Now we can recreate the end scene that started it all.
