That's what youth do. Think muscle cars, 50s hot rods, 90s sport compact scene...i doubt that will ever change on this planet or any other.

Fennec Shand is loyal because she owes him his life. Loyalty objectively speaking is boring.

Fett is trying to consolidate power. You need to be calculated, level headed, and strategic. People are more or less charismatic during different situations.

You can't enjoy a show with preconceived notions of what it should be. Accept it for what it is and then compare it to itself.

Fennec Shand is such a stale character. Just slightly brooding on the sideline the whole time.

Boba Fett isn't much better. His backstory with the sand people is fantastic and great backstory but he has no charisma to hold up the rest of the series.

The last two episodes have been far better and I really think it comes down to them being focused on Din Djarin, Grogu and Luke.

I hope the inevitable clash with the Pykes will make the story improve for Boba Fett's storyline. The story focused around him so far has been underwhelming.

Yeah, Favreau has really taken an interesting approach painting Boba Fett as lacking confidence (in his new role) and unsure of himself. Although it's probably realistic for a bounty hunter turned Daimyo and have those types of self doubts, I imagine it's also taken some of the luster off his fan fave status even though he had such limited roles in the films. In this role, he's not quite the badass he was perceived to be as a bounty hunter.

Personally, I never understood the fanfare about Fett, so I have no pre-conceived notion about what this was supposed to be. So, I'm not disappointed with it. I've mostly enjoyed it, but having now watched this first season, I think there were much better characters in the SW universe to center a show around. I actually think it will become more interesting if we start to see how the First Order begins to become into existence creating havoc. Since they've tee'd it up is Book of BF where they're going to show us how Luke continues to build on his training effort? My hunch tells me no. It's a pre-amble to the Ahsoka series where I suspect she will help Luke attempt to train the next generation of Jedi - which hopefully we get a return of Grand Admiral Thrawn and his attempts to thrwart Luke and build a new Empire.

A. Fett- If you look at the Clone Wars, Fett was a kid so he grew up raised by Bounty Hunters trying to learn, he really never had a family. He was in his prime during the original trilogy time line. He learned of family from the Tuskens. Seeing them slaughtered more or less messed with his mind but also softened him in his old age. I think what this show did was tee up a series where we see Fett start bouncing around and trying to right the wrongs he once was a part of.

B. Ahsoka- I think you're partly right but I think it'll be more of the hunt for Ezra thrown in as well.

Agreed. Where she finds Thrawn could be where she finds Ezra (or vice versa). Or who knows since it's been ten years Ezra was last seen.

Maybe we'll get a live action Sabine Wren.

I think season 3 of The Mandalorian we'll see Skywalker or Ahsoka teaching Mando how to wield the Dark Saber, ala, Rebels with Kanan and Sabine.

Digging Fett's capper....

Mando tie-ins and Fett's ongoing story make for interesting plotlines for Fett 2 and Mando 3.... and who knows what turns up in Obi Wan.

I disagree.

Rodriguez doesn't need to direct any more for any of the Star Wars series. Horrible action scenes in the finale.

Fett's not making any of the big decisions. The show seems more like the Book of Fennec Shand.

Mando comes in with his awesome dark saber, but it can't even pop a bubble. That just sad.

Also, the power ranger punks have to go. It's a desert planet and they have the cleanest Vespas in the galaxy. Fennec should have saved the two Gamorrean guards and let the scooter crew get smoked.

That's my take.

I think if I understood right Obi Wan will be set between ROTS and A New Hope.

I doubt we'll see Fett because during that time he didn't have his armor and was living among the Tuskens. Even if they did cross paths, Obi Wan wouldn't recognize him.

I think we'll see a couple fights with Obi Wan and Vader though.

Maybe Ahsoka will stop by.

During that time Fett was a young Bounty Hunter, not living among Tuskens.

I agree with you about Rodriguez. But this comment about the Darksaber seems to be ignorant to how those types of shields work. Its like a larger droideka, Jedi couldn’t just stab those either. Unless you have a really heavy cannon your energy weapons aren’t going to overpower the shield. And you can’t just jump into them either. The same applied to the Gungan army’s shield in Phantom Menace, droids had to come inside to take it down.

In The Clone Wars they showed countermeasures for droideka shield would be flanking it and penetrating the shield physically, or rolling grenades under them in a way that they would move slow enough to enter the shield. Planting/hiding charges would work if you are expecting them.

They tried going into the shield physically but this droid model was large enough to use a leg to kick them back out.

You're right.. I got ahead of myself

goin' fishin' this weekend wit my bud...

Oh yeah.

My final thoughts on the Book of Boba Fett:

It could have been a lot more. Prior to this series we saw him as a kid holding his fathers helmet after Mace Windu decapitates him, then as a bounty hunter working for Jabba and finally getting his fathers armor back in the Mandolorian. I don’t really keep up with the cannon beyond movies and live action shows but there’s a lot of stories that could be told in between and I felt the flashbacks were the best part of the series. And the title kind of insinuates this show should tell his story. Maybe another season will expound some more. Maybe the first season should have been longer than 7 episodes especially if 2 are going to effectively be Mandolorian episodes, which were awesome. I don’t begrudge that tie in for sure but the current time portions it did seem that boba was a secondary character in his own show at times.

The rancor was awesome, Black Krrrsantan was awesome, Cad Bane was awesome. But maybe draw his character out more than one episode, feed us some backstory in there before he gets cut down.

All in all it was cool but like I said, could have been a lot more.

Cad was all through the Clone Wars series. I don’t remember him in Rebels but could’ve been. I’m sure he’ll pop up in Bad Batch

Yeah, he was a prominent figure in the Clone Wars. Which is why I think we will see him again in the Obi-Wan series. He was already in Bad Batch. Was hired to capture Omega and return her to the Kaminoans and was encountered by and fought Fennec.

Don't believe he was actually in Rebels but Sabine Wren painted a mural of him.

I could never get into the animated series. I tried the Bad Batch and gave up shortly after Cad Banes appearance.

Last year around May 4th I started watching all the movies and shows.. Holy cow thats several hours of my life I'll never get back.
