    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    I think that article makes a lot of sense for why we got what we got. I'd also recommend giving this one a read as it discusses a lot of the storytelling problems present in this series. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/book-boba-fett-season-finale-171525309.html

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    Okay, I gave it a good college try and after 7 episodes I can confirm it was a stinker. Were there 2 or 3 moments during the series that were enjoyable, for sure, but in general it just wasn't very good. So many oddball moments, cringy dialogue, sloppy editing, oddly stiff and slow action...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    I think it's pretty clear that the showrunners had started writing season 3 of mando, and that with the ending of s2 they had to figure out how to get mando and grogu back together "off screen". They wanted to hit you with that emotional cliffhanger, but they also knew that normies wouldn't be...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    Amazing episode, loved everything about it except it crystallized the fact that the showrunners know how to make a good episode and then just choose not to for most of the series so far. I could rewatch this episode over and over, but fett on his own show gets no effort for some reason. I get...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    The only EU content I've taken in regarding Fett is Twin Engines and a couple of the games. What's interesting to me about all this is that the overall idea of who Fett is/was is pretty pervasive throughout the fandom. Either through the OT, books, comics, and fan art. Everyone I've chatted...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    I'd say that kids aren't dumber, nor have they asked for less interesting content. Rather, the industry has become much much more puritan about what's considered acceptable for children's shows. When we were kids, the movies we were allowed to watch were much more adult in nature, and our tastes...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    I'm not so sure. Lucas made some seriously odd choices with the PT, and since its gone to Disney, some of the content has been fantastic (Rogue One, The Bad Batch, Mando). It's been really hit and miss since the OT. I remember walking out of the theater after phantom menace feeling exactly the...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    They're obviously sprinkling a little backstory and motivation in each episode, and while I recognize this as a creative decision, I find it to be a bad choice for this story. There are few characters that have such preconceived notions as Fett. I'm sure we'll learn why he took Bib out, more...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    Episode 4 was better. I agree with what was said earlier, they should have started the season with some of this. Still cannot stand the mod stuff though. If he gets the band back together with some of our most favorite bounty hunters as his muscle to take on the pykes, that could be cool. I...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    I'm honestly interested in watching the gallery/BTS for this. I want to know if they did the BoBF teaser as a bit of fun before they had any other writing in place. Were they like "oh crap, now what do we do", or was it all planned out. Based off the recent interviews with Tem and Ming-Na, and...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    Yes, we do. And I'm sure they are saving their best bits for last. However, I can't unsee episode 3 so even if the show gets truly epic in a few episodes, I'll always have Fett in a bathrobe chatting with the power rangers in my head. I would LOVE to see a fan edit of the entire season that...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    At this point it's pretty clear that BoBF is packed full of winks and nods to Lucas and his inspirations. The sand monster, stop motion, the mods on vespas, e.t.c. In one sense I get it, Favreau wanted to use a Boba Fett show as a vehicle to pay homage to the characters creater. I see Filoni...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    I think it's fair to say that viewers should reserve absolute final judgement until the final episode airs and the entire story is told. With that said, I also think it's fair to say that 3 episodes in and there's been more bad than good. The job of any show would be to give me a reason to...

    *SPOILERS* The Book of Boba Fett Discussion

    I'm still not over how bad the CGI was in the chase scene. The landspeeder "looked" like it was going much faster than the bikes that were keeping up with it in the same frame. It was so important that the bikes looked good and we could clearly see the actors faces that it was all slowed down...
