It is a bit fan service-y, but it's done better than Star Wars has done in the past and it's doing potentially interesting things with it. Lent a bit heavily on the Western tropes though. I get that that scene is an important one in the wider canon but it's very odd to have a true black hat in the Star Wars world. Two words...

I think my problems are more with the showrunner, I think it's good star wars buts it's not necessarily good tv, same with the mandalorian, they do lazy stuff and weird decisions The last 2 episodes of "boba fett" are exactly that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a Star Wars fan since the 70's and I found episode 6 to be a mixed bag. Everything good was on Tatooine, but the Luke/Grogu stuff was slow and a bit boring. Luke's deep fake effect was amazing and all of the special effects are next level genius. But, we shouldn't be watching the show just to marvel at effects and the Fett story needs to move on and it hasn't in 2 episodes. The last episode now needs to be an absolute banger to make the series worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) Just give it all to Favreau. Star Wars is his, hand him everything and let him do whatever he wants with it. If only he’d had the sequel trilogy. Edited February 4, 2022 by Wainy316 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Episode 5 I enjoyed. It was the first episode I did enjoy. I only watched it because I was told it was basically an episode of the Mandalorian, which it was. It had interesting characters, layers of plot combined with mythos and legend, a gentle sprinkle of humour and it straight up looked better. I mean, it looked way, way better, like it had double the budget of the episodes that came before combined. Episode 6 was pretty boring IMO. A little fetch quest side mission that did nothing to develop plot or character. Not offensively bad or anything, but it's clearly trying to set up a Magnificent 7 in space ending, and I don't think I'm on board for it. At the moment it is not so much the magnificent 7, it's more, the Mandalorian and the uninspiring 6. If we have to do a western movie trope, I'd rather Mando played Shane and we end with him riding off into the sunset. The biggest problem is still that I don't give one single shit for Boba or any of his crew (I suppose Shand isn't awful, but she is the only one). Every time we cut to the titular character I'm disappointed, which I can't imagine is the goal of the writers. Unrelated to plot etc, I thought the CGI Luke was pretty amazing.

Brumerican Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It's been a western in space since 1977 . Anybody thinking the "western" theme seems out of place needs to jump off a cliff. The Vespa mod shit ? Now that is out of place but the cowboy stuff IS bang on. I have not seen any cartoons but I'm a 41 year old man who grew up on the OT and had all the toys so the last 2 episodes are the best Start Wars "stuff " since 1983 IMO. FWIW Sam Jackson would star in Eastenders if there was money in it so I think Mace Windu's return is inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I’ve enjoyed the last couple of episodes, it feels like Star Wars to me hence I’m disappointed the episodes are so short because the stop start of tv episodes is frustrating but I’m enjoying the content.

MCU Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Spoiler That was Cad Bane wasn’t it? Totally out of nowhere, can’t wait to see more of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete3206 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 10/10 for the Boba Fett finale. For me, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Disappointed to see Cad Bane killed off. Could have done a lot more with the character in the live action shows. Other than that, Boba Fett riding the Rancor was amazing.

theboyangel Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I see Kenobi has an official airing date in May 2022... Will be home interesting to see what they do with this, as there's a fair bit off his story told within Rebels Spoiler Particularly involving Darth Maul! I also wonder about existing character cameos and half expect to see the wookie from Boba Fett popping up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda makes sense. Yes, decent although some of the fight choreography made me cringe a bit. Mando, Luke, Grogu and Cad Bane have been the highlight of the series though for me and I'd rather they just blend it in with The Mandolorian going forward. Oh and the Mods, nah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree about the mods.. Total swing and a miss, maybe more so over here in the UK than the US? Just seemed so out of context and forced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
