Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett - Page 3

*sdp* · 12-30-2021, 06:45 PM

I loved Boba Fett the first time I saw him, it was definitely the armor, I had no idea he was a fan favorite with star wars geeks, when I first saw star wars I was a little kid when the special editions came out on theaters so I had no idea what star wars even was but I liked Boba Fett. I never cared who was under the helmet or backstories, I only wanted more adventures of him in it.

Chapter 2 was amazing one of the best Episodes of anything Star Wars

~~AquaParade~~ · 01-05-2022, 03:24 PM

I'm pretty lukewarm on the first two episodes, but that's how I felt about The Mandalorian pretty much the whole way through. I suppose I'm just captivated enough to hold on for more and see if it gets better. I have a very soft spot for Boba.

I think I'm always wanting Star Wars to be a little more of something it's not, which is my own problem. I feel like it has so many elements I love in terms of fantasy-storytelling, but everything just feels so...safe.

And this might be related or it might not be, but I really wish they'd utilize language-translators more, or even subtitles. It's funny how our suspension-of-disbelief works, right? Well, there's something about aliens speaking English that really rubs me the wrong way. Especially when they aren't even human. I can forgive the humans, but shouldn't aliens have different vocal chords? Wouldn't the atmosphere be more palpable if aliens on a distant world didn't speak like Ned Flanders or Steve Erwin?

And someone help me out with this - When it comes to the proxy who was sent by the mayor to meet with Boba Fett, was that just another really mediocre actor or was it the English language again taking me out of the scene? Probably both.

Maybe I should just stick to Dune.

Episode 2 was pretty good

Then this dude shows up, And he looks so bad ass, Heard he's from the comics.

Second ep was a bit mixed. Making most of the ep about the Tusken Raiders is kinda dull, if only because they're just more generic aliens and were never anything more than sand people who attack people and scavenge things.

no it wasn't it was interesting to learn more about the tuskens and how boba fett was accepted into their village and gained his new costume/weapon.

*Andrew NDB* · 01-12-2022, 02:55 AM

So in episode 3 he fights for water, animal rights, and... his pet?

Jeeze. I'm fairly sure we're headed toward a place where Boba Fett completely does a 180 and becomes savage and ruthless again and everything so far is meant to misdirect so as to amplify the "Whoa!" when that happens. But if not? Yeesh.

I couldn’t sleep so I binged a bunch of Disney plus stuff during night.

This episode was pretty weak, imo. They tried to give a sense of consequence, and there were a couple cool visuals, like Boba watching Jango take off in the Slave-1, but overall the tone just feels off. It wants to be a gangster/redemption story but everything feels a little goofy.

It’s also becoming clear that these series really don’t have the budgets of the movies, as was sort of implied. Some special effects look sort of cheap and lame. Not everything looks bad, but it’s just not consistent in quality.

I haven’t lost hope though. The setup still has some potential, and Boba Fett is still the sexiest bounty hunter in the universe.

I think it's mediocre as well. This and Mando are better Star Wars content than maybe 99% of what Disney has pumped out so far, but honestly everything just feels like a CW show now. Space-kung-fu.

And honestly, turning Boba Fett into a... I dunno... noble hero-villain or whatever is lame. Anti-hero cliche.

I don't hate it by any means. I'll keep watching it. But as great as Dave Filoni has been for Star Wars, many of the Filoni-forumlaic ways are wearing thin.

So in Disney Star Wars people just were hoodies and regular clothes? And they ride mid 90s CG Futuristic hover bikes?

Why not, All the designs are supports to look retro, Star Wars took place a long time ago.

*CyberCubed* · 01-12-2022, 07:36 PM

Those young punk biker characters are ridiculously out of place.

*TigerClaw* · 01-12-2022, 07:54 PM

Maybe they were from Coruscant.

this show is supremely goofy

*Andrew NDB* · 01-12-2022, 08:33 PM

I feel like Disney wants us to fall in love with them for a spinoff. I'm not taking the bait.

That main chick was great in the movie, "Prospect." Interestingly, also starring Pedro Pascal.

True.

My favorite moment came in episode 3 when Boba set the wookie free and he jogged off-screen.
I’m not saying he should have walked, but it just looked… bad.

This doesn't look like Star wars at all. Was the costume designer on vacation?

~~Leo656~~ · 01-13-2022, 04:24 AM

People still care about Star Wars.

Every nerd on the internet is just a battered wife with a keyboard.
