I guess that's where I'm seeing a lot of disconnect between the fans, for something like getting a ship.
If he shows up with it, like the Razor Crest, some will roll with it, & some will want to know the where's & why's. Then if it's explained or shown, some will say, "Ok, cool. Now I know", & others will rake every bit of it over the coals because they don't like what happens in a story that someone else is telling.
Most seem to enjoy head canon MUCH more that what's presented, which isn't a condemnation. So I was wondering which would be safer, IF the goal is to present a satisfying 'product' instead of just telling a creator's story?
I have to agree. Some claim they aren't bound by the story they created in their heads about these characters over 40 years, and yet feel compelled to rip everything apart. I admit, I'm open to the story and seeing where it goes, but sometimes things are done that make me question reality, like the Vespa gang disconnect with them being clean and "unlived in" while the rest of this setting is worn and gritty.
I didn't have any issue with them being cyborgs, or how they participated in the story (okay, I admit the "fast paced" pursuit seemed... slow, compared with how we've seen speeders in the Original Trilogy, or even an episode earlier. People were off put by the "Western" music in the Mandalorian, and now people like it.
I'm interested in seeing where the BOBF story goes. "Boba seems weak." I hear the complaint, but now that he's out of the Bacta, maybe we'll see him kicking butt and taking names... in the name of profit of course. Or revenge. Even though he killed the swoop gang, we don't learn who was behind them, other than the Pykes paying them "protection" money.
I thought an opportunity was missed when Boba just wiped the gang out, rather than landing (after blowing the most of them up) and interrogating one of them. But I'm not the showrunner.

There's still mysteries to be revealed, and aliens to blast.
The "safe" bet is to crank out product that takes no risks. Everybody has seen in 5 minutes of screen time over 3 films, that Boba "looks" like a badass. It would have been safe to show him regain his armor and go on a bounty hunting rampage and be the Vin Diesel-action Hero of Star Wars. They took a risk by not following the action hero cliche, and have given him unexpected depth and a different way of looking/doing things.
It wasn't expected, and wasn't safe, but it is interesting at least to me. It's not perfect storytelling (or continuity/editing at times) but it is interesting and provides a twist on what's expected.
Sorry, I just realized I wrote a novella-rant.
