Re: [Disney+] The Book of Boba Fett
We were kids. Boba Fett had a look and style that fired our imagination. He just looked cool. We weren't worried about counting his lines to justify our interest.
It's something that we lose as adults, and that is easy to forget.

Coincidently, my son's friend is in a high school production of Newsies. I'll have to let you know if any bounty hunters or hoverbikes show up in the production.

Re: [Disney+] The Book of Boba Fett
Extra points if they’re neon hover bikes.
I keep expecting one of Fett’s gang to show up wearing a piano keyboard tie.

Re: [Disney+] The Book of Boba Fett
Disappointing. Teddy Roosevelt was as close as we came to a bounty hunter. No hoverbikes neon or otherwise. And tap dancing is definitely not the same as Parkour!

Re: [Disney+] The Book of Boba Fett
Oh man, I’d love a Book of Teddy Roosevelt series. However, I wouldn’t want it written by the Boba folks. We’d end up with Teddy leading a pack of cute, trained dogs he calls the Ruff Riders.

Seemed an odd thing to do for a limited series. But, it was great!

He also almost died several times, with all the accompanying injuries and scars, and has to sleep in a bacta tank every night. He's not going to be spiderman. I buy it, though I'd expect him to go to the gun more than the Tusken staff
Remember, we think it's an amazing feat of longevity when someone plays pro football into their 40s, and it is. I imagine being Boba Fett is even more taxing on the body than pro football. (Unless you play behind the Detroit o-line)

Counter argument: It's Star Wars. The badass fighting is supposed to look like a badass fighting, not like Mr. McMurphy trying to sweep the front porch.

Well he was just 42 in AotC. Now 61. Also Wen is almost 60 at 58. It really is lost on me how much time has passed since 2002.

Re: [Disney+] The Book of Boba Fett
Just watched episode 6. It is honestly like they realized the first episodes of the series were not really working and decided, "Screw it. We're just going to do anything we want for the rest of the season.
I literally don't even know how to talk about episode 6. I do highly recommend staying away from any spoiler sources until you watch it. View it today if you can.

Re: [Disney+] The Book of Boba Fett
I strongly disagree with the prevailing view around here that this season has been disappointing before last week. But, diffrences of opinions aside, this week's episode was mind blowing for me. My jaw dropped multiple times. Can't wait for the finale.

Re: [Disney+] The Book of Boba Fett
I loved Episode 2 with the Train. I thought 1 and 4 were decent. 3 had its moments, but I really don’t like the shiny biker gang, at least for this setting — would have been fine on Coruscant if they were presented as bunch of spoiled upper-middle class kids looking for trouble, but they seem pretty silly as a bunch of kids so poor they have to steal water. Black Krrsantan on the other hand is awesome.
I was enjoying it well before Episode 5, but Episodes 5 and 6 have been terrific.

Re: [Disney+] The Book of Boba Fett
Episode 6...WOW.
I mean, it doesn't seem to fit the story but ...WOW.
I've really enjoyed the series, the bike chase was stupid, but it's Star Wars and I still geek out over it.

Such a fun episode. And I'm amazed how good that kind of special effect is getting.

Yeah, at this point pretty much everyone knows what decision (spoiler) will make. It would be beyond stunning if it goes the other way.

Yeah...my only reason for explaining that is it's likely someone will have to bring <spoiler > to him. So the other part of my post was speculation on who that might be and the fun / awkward scene if it is him

Re: [Disney+] The Book of Boba Fett
I'm barely a Star Wars fan and I was absolutely blown away by the episode this week (#6). That was seriously impressive work. Both this current episode and the last one really elevated this for me. The first four weren't bad, but they really changed the energy with these last two. Which is weird (as others have noted) because it's a series about Boba Fett. I am quite curious to see where this is all going.
Maybe next year, maybe no go
