I would love to see Johnston do something Fett related. I think he certainly understands Fett better than most anyone. He created him, was involved with him right at the ground level, and knows the guy and his inspirations through and through. I wanna say he even approached George about it years ago but was turned down at the time.
If anybody deserves a shot at directing a Star Wars project, it's Joe. Heck, I think George should've given him one of the prequels.
Lost In Space.

This is one of the reasons that Temuras piss poor 2004 redub is so profoundly detrimental to the viewing of the film…
You have a guy who you’ve repeatedly watched over the course of the film publicly strangle to death his own Allies when they fail or displease him… ya know… Darth Vader, that guy who’s our physical embodiment of evil incarnate in the galaxy up until that point… and then you introduce a new character (Boba fett) who not only repeatedly talks back to that horrifically evil character in a very combative/disrespectful tone, but rather than being killed they’re only reassured everything they want they’ll get, or be compensated for such… while simultaneously treating Lando, the owner of Clowd City who's groveling at his feet, like trash…
And it says nothing to you guys about these characters, meaning Vader and Boba, having a past history…?
I truly weep for creative writing reading some of these stupid replies

Them having a history is a valid interpretation, but that's all it is. There can be many valid interpretations.This is one of the reasons that Temuras piss poor 2004 redub is so profoundly detrimental to the viewing of the film…

You know what, you’re right, I forgot Anakin/Vader has been reduced into an incompetent awful ******* too.
Tone in conversation is Dead. Everything is meaningless monotone happy text communication now to get us from Point A to Point B

Lest we forget, this is Disney Star Wars. They don't do that sort of thing.
Sounds like Tem understands Boba more than the writers do.

As sad as it is.. i think Rogue One with all its flaws is probably the closest we’ll ever get to the “feel” of original StarWars

Totally agree! It seems absurd that Fett apparently had even more dialogue than he already has.
And I do think Boba Fett is gonna finally have his moment to shine and "kick ass" but how cool it'll really be remains to be seen. They're definitely setting up him riding a rancor which frankly seems super cheesy to me but I'm guessing that'll be part of it.
There has been talk that The Twins were hinting that Crimson Dawn/Qira has claimed Tatooine maybe with Cad Bane working as their muscle, and the Pykes working in conjuction with them as well, but I dunno.

Looked to me like the gang was riding a bunch of KitchenAid mixers:
The biggest problem with this show remains that I still don't understand what Boba wants out of all of this, and I really don't understand how he's been able to take over Jabba's enterprise so easily. Those are interrelated issues – the whole Daimyo thing feels low effort in-universe, meaning there's no opportunity to see Boba struggle and overcome and thus reveal character (I don't mind seeing him get his butt kicked, but since the personal stakes are so low, it ends up being boring). Instead it feels like he wandered into an already-empty palace (what, no squatters?) and said "sure, why not?"
His time with the Tuskens feels much more compelling, and I feel like that should have been the show and not this criminal underworld business.

Agreed. This whole mafioso stuff feels very half-baked and ham-fisted. It doesn't work for me at all. Like Din not wanting to be ruler of Mandalore, I just can't see Boba giving two-sh!ts about being any kind of crimelord. I'm still not getting his motivations there and the notion of a "benevolent crimelord" seems a bit ridiculous. I could see Fett pulling a Man With No Name, and pitting two crime families against each other while he gets rich between the two but nothing as involved as running a family himself. The flashbacks were way more interesting.
