The Book of Boba Fett

[Joek3rr]

The theme music is ....well its not star wars

I've heard a few complaints about the music, on this show and The Mandalorian. The thing is, not everyone is John Williams. Not everyone can mimic his style. And that's okay. Yes it's bit jarring at first, but you get used to it. Every composer needs to write to their strengths. It would be unfair to make imitate John Williams. It's as bad as temp scoring.

And music not sounding like John Williams, neo-classical Wagnerian style, isn't new, for Star Wars. For The Clone Wars movie Kevin Kiner used rock and electric guitars.(though technically electric guitar was used for AOTC, though it only ended up in the album release)

And Jessie Harlin gave us some un-Williams music for Republic Commando.

Maybe this is a nitpick.. Idk.. but the more i rewatch these first two episodes the more its really starting to bother me..

Why is it that Djin, a far less experienced Bounty Hunter, is more fluent in alien languages and communicating abilities in his universe than Boba Fett is, where Boba presumably still has all his OT rep as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy and has been around far longer?

Maybe its just me but i would think that knowing multiple languages would be an incredibly vital skill in said life long profession..
(That “we need a protocol droid” joke irked me to no end just because of that.. but hey as long as it makes Filoni giggle like an idiot)

This is almost feeling like more manipulative OT<ST character assassination garbage... Should i just stop talking and eat my slop?

Good question. We can assume that he knows at least Huttese. He spent a lot of his formative years learning to kill things and hunt Jedi to get revenge on Windu. Maybe his life experiences didn't include immersion training in alien dialects? Though it would make sense for him to pick up some of them. Or not. Killing/capturing beings might be easier than talking to them.

So shut up and eat your slop.

I think that Fett's rep as the best bounty hunter around is more of a fan construction than anything that was established in the OT. The only thing that we know of his rep that had been firmly established onscreen was that he apparently has a penchant for disintegrations. But that's it, we don't know anything about his success rate or how well regarded as a bounty hunter he is.

As far as languages go, it's possible that he just doesn't have a knack for languages. There are people out there who can't speak anything but their own native language even though speaking another language would be useful for their job.

Great Point!! plus Boba has spent a lot of time on Tatooinne. All we know from onscreen is Boba was used by Vader and Jabba to kill 2 birds with one stone...and that stone being Han. Draw Luke in, give Jabba his prized possession. ("No dissintegration".)

Maybe Boba had more pleasure in filling the void of his loss and anger than collecting the money...the money was the fringe benefit.

I LITERALLY said the same thing about The Mandalorian music... and now I kinda like it. I'm not sure yet if The BOBF music fits exactly, but I guess I need to hear more of it to make that decision. I know the composer is the same as on Mando, but the theme seemed really close if I recall. Just need to hear more.

 

[Wolfsburg]

I don’t hate the music by any means…but I would still vastly prefer a Williamsesque score though. Or at least would like for them to utilize established themes when appropriate (Force Theme, Imperial March, etc). Hearing the Force Theme in The Mandalorian when Luke reveals himself (sadly the only time it’s used) reminded me how much I missed the Williams sound. Seeing the Imperial Remnant stuff without at least some variation of the Imperial March is jarring for me too.

Of course, those specific themes don’t really apply to BOBF, at least thus far.

OK so this might put you All in a Tail Spin...but would certainly be a Shocker!

imagine this...
The Bounty Hunter known as Jango Fett beheaded by Mace Windu was Not Jango but one of his Clones instead.. he died far too easily.
After the battle he and Boba reclaimed his Armour and jango took on the name of his son whilst young Boba carried on with his training..
Jango not Boba fell into the Sarlacc this explains why he looks much older than he should and less agile.
This could also allow a passing of the torch a la Indiana Jones to a younger iteration of Fett at a critical time in the plot. It even explains the suits re paint as Jangos suit was always pristine, if there were two Fetts on screen it would help to distinguish them.
And it gives Daniel Logan an In to be a more age related Boba and interact with certain other characters further down the line..

Ah the ramblings of an Older man.. and yeah I just want to see DL don that Space suit...

Him being one of a select number of specialized individuals hired directly by Darth Vader after the entire Imperial Fleet failed to capture one single ship, being singled out of that group, and then accomplishing said task nigh instantaneously with hardly a shot fired or word spoken doesn't establish anything about his characters skills or abilities to you?

In Trade he is a Bounty Hunter...very skilled at the hunt...in his heart, he may be just a killer...he saw his father beheaded by a Jedi. The Mayor called him a bounty hunter, Boba said he wasn't a bounty hunter...then the mayor said , raising a family is more complicated than being a bounty hunter AFTER Boba had already told him he wasn't. Boba has a reputation but in his heart, he knows he was someone different and knows he is someone different now...thus, the response, "i am not a bounty hunter". When he arrived to the mayor he says. " You know damn well who" (he was)

so when little Boba held the head of Jango in his hands, it really wasn't his head it was a clones? But he was still angry at Mace...if Jango deceived his own kid then came back to train him how could he be having dreams of his son looking into his own armor when his head is off.. Was he watching from a distance or soomething?...i;m totally confused by this theory...lol

and you're forgetting the lizard vision where Boba watches the Slave 1 departure...the perspective is always Bobas looking out...He actually sees the reflection of his own older face in the helmet of Jango

It was only a helmet the head rolled out?

But he was still angry at Mace...

We don't see that in live Action do we ?

if Jango deceived his own kid then came back to train him how could he be having dreams of his son looking into his own armor when his head is off..

I didn't say he trained him

Was he watching from a distance or soomething?...i;m totally confused by this theory...lol

We did see a distance shot last time..

Maybe they are connected mentally like Twins..

Its just a ramble I am no way as clued up on all the comics novels cartoons etc and the de canonisation of material puts my head in a spin..

 

[Halliwax]

The Book of Boba Fett will have eight episodes. Our source shared the titles of these eight episodes as follows: Episode 1: The Champion, Episode 2: The Assassin, Episode 3: The Syndicate, Episode 4: The Battleground, Episode 5: The Homeworld, Episode 6: The Warlord, Episode 7: The Showdown, Episode 8: The Hunter.


But that was on Giant Freakin Robot

Interesting, I keep seeing reports it’s a 7 episode series, and it ends on Feb 9th

 

[Halliwax]

I never noticed the head falling out until years after its release. Some I talk to this is morbid, but I think it makes the scene with boba holding the helmet less morbid lol

Jango's head rolls out? i never saw that

Halliwax So...now Boba's helmet seals to his face and doesn't fall off in the Sarlacc...?

Now i'm super confused...lol...thanks mottrex for the head spin...no pun intended

you said Jango and Boba reclaimed the armor...so his son was hoodwinked ...until he wasn't?

 

[Mottrex]

Yeah I think that report was wrong..the perils of fake news sites a bit like All those youtube videos with inside scoops that never are..

This is why I’m confused.. I see the 7 episodes reported everywhere, haven’t seen anything about 8

Can’t over think it.. inconsistency is everywhere in Star Wars.. takes the fun out of trying to make sense of it all

 

[Halliwax]

This always bothered me.. not great seal here.. what can ya do?

That's still making assumptions based on no dialogue to support the assumptions. All we know is that Vader hired a bunch of bounty hunters to capture Han, but we know nothing about the group of bounty hunters except for Fett's apparent rep for disintegrations, that's it. Could they be the best in business, possibly, but they could have been the only ones that answered the call, the only ones in the area, or just the cheapest, we don't know. Neither Vader nor anybody else in the scene said why those particular bounty hunters were chosen, they were just there.

me as well, lets just say when Boba got it back he decided to paint the armor again and give the helmet seal upgrade...still doesn't explain how he falls in head first into a Sarlacc and the helmet stays on...lol...You are right about over thinking it..

I think you both are right. Boba has an excellent reputation as a bounty hunter(the hunting part) had a reputation for disintegration( he brought them in cold probably too...lol,

Jabba is the common denominator...he worked for Jabba(the twin hutts confirmed it and Boba was with Jabba at Mos Eisley when he was talking to Han. Boba is a bad dude...and excellent at what he does. Trained in bounty hunting as a tracker/hunter (His profession) but he is just a man trying to make his way in the universe(still his profession) but that is not who he is at heart.

Let's just say i'm a retail worker...a lot of buying and selling, im super at it..have a great reputation, but i don't really like it, it just pays the bills. Someone recognizes me and says hey , you're that retail guy...nope, i'm who i am at heart, that's just what i do...i will use the profession to do what i love. If i love to be social, retail is a great place to meet a lot of people. I hate the work but love the opportunity to influence peoples lives.

Boba is a really bad dude with a lot of anger and pain...at heart, he gets to fill voids in his life by driving Dads car, doing what Dad did and use it to vent his anger and pain on people he doesn't care about...and he happens to be proficient at it...but he has currently changed, or is having a change of heart while maintaining his proficiency with former skills.
