Checking this out when I get home
The Book of Boba Fett
- Thread starter Thain
- Start date
Okay, I totally missed the connection between...
...everyone being surprised that Boba wasn't being carried on a litter as a show of his station... and him riding a rancor. If riding a rancor doesn't show you're a BA crime lord, what does?

It would add to the cost because someone would have to design the armor first, model it, texture it, and then rig it. But once done, it's a bit easier than hand drawn since you don't have to figure out to draw it from all angles. But CG animation isn't a simple matter of pushing a few buttons and you get a new model and animation.
3D animation involves just as much artistry as traditional hand drawn animation does with an added dose of technical artistry. The biggest advantage of 2D animation is repeatability, scaling, and the elimination of the need of figuring out how something looks from different angles and perspectives. But you still need artists to create the models, others to texture them, then animators to actually animate them.
I just can't get over the fact that the man who directed El Mariachi... also did Spy Kids and Shark Boy and Lava Girl... and now he's doing Boba Fett.
I liked the first 2 eps, 3rd was seriously hit or miss, some aspects good, some... live action Kenner Toy merchandising.
Coming this Christmas: Boba's Technicolor Rangers!
Not buying THAT Black Series figure assortment.
I don't think Star Wars needs to be kiddified. Kids have (for the most part) always liked SW without it being aimed directly AT them, or having SW talk down to them. With exceptions, like the Droids and Ewoks animated series, (which as a teenager I barely could stand) or the Ewoks live action films. Or Jar Jar. Most kids love Jar Jar.
Han Solo shot first. Vader chopped off Luke's hand and THEN told him he was his dad. How's that for a messed up family dynamic.The point is, we don't necessarily need a Kind and fuzzy feeling Boba. Sure, give him an emotional evolution/journey because, frankly, he's had a messed up life.
Now... I'll still watch of course. I'm still contemplating Boba props and costumes. It will be interesting to see where this goes in the next few weeks.
The cool thing Lucas did with the CW cartoon was make season 1 for 10 year olds and every season after that had to grow in maturity along with them. That's a great idea and I'm glad he had the chance to do that experiment.
I don't mind people failing when making films, it's something that has to happen in order to grow and get better and to learn from. The ST would be an example of a non honest failure.
RR was always good at making low budget movies that looked for expensive than they were. They sold well and made money. They may have hired him because of that. They needed a show to be made quickly and cheaply to fill in the gap between other shows.
It's even got camel toe.
I agree. TCW very much grew with the audience, in terms of both maturity and complexity. I'm not saying this is Shakespeare, but DF made me a believer.
And yes, whatever shortcomings the PT had, GL came by them honestly. It was his vision, through and through - no Iger, no Kennedy, no studio notes and no story group hemming him in - and I always admired the purity of that, even if the execution often fell short.
I'm not sure I'd call the ST a non-honest failure (thought I 100% understand where you are coming from), but it very much felt like moviemaking by committee - with Iger, with Kennedy, with studio notes, all putting corporate "guard-rails" around the IP - and it didn't feel like Abrams had any passion or creative vision behind it. Whether he never had passion for the IP in the first place, or if the passion got sucked away by the suits, is a conversation for another day.
Say what you want about the PT, but you knew that GL had been thinking about that story for a very long time and really wanted to tell it.

It just gets better and better! I should’ve known when I thought during the chase scene: “Now THIS is mod racing…”

Remember Johhny Favo is listed as creator and writer. No one else. The same man that gave you the Mandolorian that everyone loves, gave you this. Weird right? RR is just director/producer.
Very nice. <golf clap>

So, dropping off lots of pizzas? Over deliver?
Fitting for a back to the future chase scene!
I think you're thinking of Aurra Sing.

Dang it! Another bit of witty banter destroyed by a lack of focus!
