The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

My favorite scene was when Fennec was getting her cybernetics in a 90's club with techno music, because nothing says SW, like techno music.

Can you imagine if Vader got a scene like this in the Obi Wan show? Vader violently screaming on the operating table while Palpatine is blasting techno music and creating a montage.

It was like watching Mortal Kombat.

Appears to be more positivity about this episode. I fully expect it to deliver when I watch it this evening.

I felt bad for the Trandoshan.

He did nothing wrong and ended up getting his armed ripped off. If he survives, which is unlikely, he'll live the rest of his miserable life with a fake arm.

And why? For what?

They were just regular dudes at a casino. It looked like they were wearing the Star Wars equivalent of Members Only jackets or track suits. Probably a bachelor party or something. So they were drinking, having fun, winning some money, got excited, and then a violent criminal basically murdered him cause he's racist against their kind. It was a "hate crime."

This wasn't even like Obi Wan and Walrus Man. This guy didn't even have a gun and was literally minding his own business.

Are we supposed to LIKE Black Kerstan? He's an *******. He didn't need to do that.

Man. This show is really sending a lot of mixed messages.



Also, the guy with dreads and facial piercings was the single most "immersion breaking" moment in Star Wars since the little fat girl with braces in Episode One.

Trandoshans pretty much hunted Wookies for sport in their culture. I think BK may have take offense to that.

Mostly when it opened thought this show is trying so hard to be modern edgy or some &^%.
Then it improved, tho maybe that's not saying a lot. For me, Fett taking out the bikers went too fast; seems like it should have built to this big epic moment. But more time had been spent on Boba's stick.

Still, think Morrison's acting was the best so far; liked his interaction with Fennec, and he had emotion looking at his ship. Overall, there's some dumb stuff like why is Boba snapping at Fennec about his buttons; he sure wasn't making progress. But there was some decent stuff too, like providing a legit reason Fennec would even stick around.

It'd be an episode to build off of, except they'll probably *&^% it up.

I'd say u could feel more positive, if you don't expect too much. It didn't suck.

"Go, find other banthas. Make bantha babies."

Fennec under her breath: "What do you know about making babies..."

She really gave a look, like thank God I don't have to explain to him where babies come from.

These guys weren't walking around flaunting Wookie pelts. Does that make it OK?

That whole scene felt like some thinly veiled commentary on racism to me.

It landed with a thud just like everything else in this godforsaken series.

I liked that that scene was so unpleasant and how casual Fett and Beals' character were in the aftermath. It added some sorely needed edge to this series.

Double-crossed? How?

The only thing missing from that scene was Drexl Spivey

I get why the Mod Squads are so universally hated but I actually like the 80's/90's EU vibe they give.

I don't know, it seemed more like the loose cannon that BK is being a loose cannon.

Double-crossed? How?

Boba Fett doesn't know the meaning of it.

He probably calls everything a double cross. Damn, the sarlacc is about to double cross me again!!!

This show veers so close to being a Robot Chicken ripoff, it's awesome! If you've seen the Robot Chicken where Ponda Baba loses his arm...it's almost like your description! LOL. "Black Kristin is an *******" ROTFLOL!

 

[Ramatuelle]

"I'm gonna kill that fat slug who double-crossed me and take his throne."

Double-crossed? How?

I feel like that ties in to events from WotBH. Because in that, Fortuna indeed did some sketchy stuff to Fett.

Overall:

*Not as horrible as feared, but I could have done without that rat-catching droid business. This is a show about the building of a criminal empire, why do we need to have A Collision Course With Wackiness every few minutes. [tm MST3K]

*I love Fennec. She is awesome.

*Fett obviously has some amnesia related to his sarlacc stay and the events immediately following. Ok, that I can forgive, but the physics related to that horizontally-hovering ship will keep me up at night for a while.

*Fett: still a little bit too nice.

*Major surgery at the tattoo parlor with techno playing in the background! We should have this right here on earth. Poor Fennec is STILL IN THAT SAME OUTFIT on the operating table.

*Those Trandoshans were not bothering anyone. Luckily the victim's arm will grow back. That's BK for you. We REALLLYYYYY need Bossk, who is in his way, every bit as fearsome as BK is.

*NO MOS VESPA and my heart rejoices.

*Smart money says we are about to be lookin' at Mando and small green child very, very soon.

Flaws, yes but compared to last week this was a masterpiece.

The green child is off with Luke right now.

 

[The Buffinator]

The only good thing in the entire episode was Flashdance cleavage but more than likely they are plastic so even that is a fail.

Au contraire!!

 

[NAZGUL-KING]

Au contraire!!

Damn, Teri Hatcher was hot back in the day.

 

[matticus]

No he's right, SW ships have always been able to maneuver in atmosphere without visible thrusters.

Hovering from the front of the ship that is pointing at the ground? What lol
