IT BURNS posted:On a series derived from laser swords, space magic, and monsters/aliens, were my son and I entertained? Sure, absolutely. Was it better than The Mandolorian? Maybe not at this point, but Mando had its share of weak episodes along the way. It's a solid 8.5/10 start and I'm interested in watching the rest. I have a feeling that the Asohka Tano show might end up being be better, but whatevs. One thing I’d like to point out is Boba was wrecking storm troopers which have never been shown to be the badasses they should be whereas Boba kinda got out-played by what I’m assuming are skilled assassins with energy shields who knew how to actually fight. Even Fennec was having issues and they were definitely going to get taken out until the Gammorian Bros showed up and screwed up the assassin’s strategy. Those shocks might have messed up Boba more than we know because of his recovering injuries from the pit.

Did anyone else feel like flashback Boba Fett didn't feel like Boba Fett? It felt like an unused Mando script if you take out the Sarlaac escape: Din gets captured, escapes and tries to help free a prisoner, makes quips, kills a monster to save a child, becomes respected by tribe, probably now friends with the kid, sounds like a Mandolorian ep to me. There was nothing that made Boba Fett feel like THE Boba Fett, the most feared, efficient, cold blooded etc bounty hunter in the galaxy, he just came across as a pretty decent dude. If we're to believe that over time Boba mellowed out, then surely just escaped from Sarlacc, working for Vader, Boba should not be a decent man. I understand he's not evil but I feel like the general consensus is that Boba isn't good, he's definetly not an anti hero or a Bounty Hunter with a heart of gold like Din, he killed and captured for the Empire for years so we know he has few morals, so showing that side of him from the outset and having him slowly over the episodes have a bit of a redemption as he mingles with the Tuskens or whatever to me would have been a bit more interesting, I feel like if they weren't afraid to show that side of him, the change we see in him come The Mandolorian and TBOBF becomes more impactful. Instead he's just coming off as good guy the audience is supposed to root for from the jump, e.g. offering to help the Rodian escape, little humorous quips like apologising to the dog creature, and come ep 2 he's likely now buddy buddy with this Tusken kid. So yes he should have snapped that Rodian's neck the second he made some noise. Or you know, just tell the Rodian who he was and use that to shut him up, cementing to the audience his fearsome reputation. To further clarify I didn't need him to go all Anakin and kill all the Tuskens, but to me it's a bit weak when if you'd have put Din in the flashback parts of the episode instead of Boba I wouldn't have noticed the difference. If what we're supposed to take from all this is actually there isn't much difference between Boba and Din well to me that's just lazy writing. Yes they're both bounty hunters, they have similar armor, but one is shown to be a good heartrd, and most importantly young guy and the other is a guy in his 50s(?) who was deemed so ruthless Vader asks him to chill out. Tldr: Boba Fett (ROTJ era) doesn't feel like Boba Fett should imo. Sorry for

It’s a valid complaint to say that Boba felt more like Din. But then again maybe ending up in a giant stomachussy and left for dead changes you. He’s trying to do the don’t fear me, respect me as your better thing by walking into it head first. A heart of gold wouldn’t try and take over a criminal empire. He just knows that fear is difficult to maintain and once it’s gone it’s gone. Respect is earned and lasts without constant upkeep. His being hosed up and having to do bacta dips all the time is interesting. I wonder if it’s his clone dna breaking down or something. Is Filoni writing on any of these or is it all Favreau? Bringing the clones into his flashbacks would be a good story to tell couched in this overall re-established character. Seeing yourself aged and broken and just hosed up in general would probably do a number on someone psyche. He got hostile to the mandos when they brought up his face. Due to the name of the series and how flashback oriented the first episode was I feel like that’s what it’s going to be. Just bringing everyone up to speed. Could be cool or could be empty garbage who knows. Mando seemed dumb at first and is still great TV.

Myrddin_Emrys posted:Humph Bet your are a riot at parties Haha thanks. I was just pretty disappointed and was trying to work out just what felt so flat about this show compared to The Mandalorian which I really liked. I jotted it down during the course of a very boring work day at my desk so it was a nice time killer and as such longer than it probably needed to be! Saying all that I still think the flashback parts are the best part even after writing all of that. Everyone's pretty much covered the reasons why the present day stuff was just kind of dull.

Even Fennec was having issues and they were definitely going to get taken out until the Gammorian Bros showed up and screwed up the assassin’s strategy. It seems pretty clear to me that Fett and Fennec were virtually unarmed on his orders. He still had what was integrated in his armor but it would either be useless/dangerous to use in the shield box (he did use an explosive to break it up but just blasted himself as well) or cause excessive collateral damage (flying up and firing his jetpack rocket into the crowd would just risk killing Fennec and civilians). He explicitly wants to rule through respectfully interacting with Mos Espa and proving that he's not a threat unless you really cross him; one of his lines in the trailers has him telling all the other crime bosses that it's better for them to work together and profit instead of just constant backstabbing. So instead of being carried on a litter surrounded by guns and armed guards, he walks in with bare minimum for self-defense on his own two feet to come across as respectful. It's very likely that the Tusken flashbacks, with him being integrated into the tribe through kindness and respect when he didn't have to, is going to be shown to reflect on who he is as a person by 9 ABY. He might not know exactly how to handle being a crime lord in a region always ruled by fear and abuse yet, and will make mistakes, but he's not just a ruthless sociopath. He didn't just run from the kid who was forcing him to get water because he was: A) Incredibly weak from his injuries and probably deprivation of water and food until an adrenaline rush hit B) Didn't want to kill a child C) The homestead they were raiding had already been attacked, so there's no guarantee there would even be everything he'd need to survive or get help in it Also, I don't get the confusion about the water gourds. They're probably the new canon version of the hubba gourd, which was the Tusken main food and liquid source in the old EU.

While I guess it cant happen because he's already Tusken'd out in Mandalorian having the final episode be a depressed and dejected Boba, his criminal empire in tatters, go back to where it all went wrong and jumping into the Sarlaac pit to commit suicide but the Tusken's give him new life and purpose might be amazing. Darko posted:Watch Clone Wars. Would watching Clone Wars where he's like 11(?) really change the audiences view of him? I haven't seen it but I do know he's portrayed as someone caught up in stuff he doesn't necessarily want to be and I know he isnt shown as some evil sociopath. But he's had like 50 years to not be someone who works for decades for the empire and is firmly in the roster of bad guys even if he is just doing his job. I just think he should be coming across as a much darker character than he is. But I appreciate also that there is a degree of personal head-cannon there. Again I think if they'd really differentiated him from Din in these flashbacks, then having him be the redeemed character they seem to be wanting to portray him as in the present would be more impactful, but let's see where it goes, it was a weak pilot in general.

Not sure why people are complaining about the water gourds. They’re a local resource that’s enough to sustain a small nomadic population that knows how to find them but large urban centers need the moisture farmers to survive, it’s not that hard. My beef with them was how they just slurped it through their disgusting masks like they’re the player in Bioshock 2.

Yeah, it ensures that he actually does care about stuff and people. His template is Jango, who cared enough to have a kid and actually care about him and raise him enough, so he's not all stoic and has empathy. You also get his early bounty career and who he learned from and what lessons he learned. The cool stoic badass whatever thing from Empire (he sucked in Jedi and was the punchline to a joke, but people tend to gloss over that) is contextualized as him on the job. Combine that also with how all of his Clone brothers start as pretty decent people and not amoral, outside of Order 66, and you come to think of him more as an offshoot of the Clones and Jango as opposed to what he was in the 80s to people.

Thought the episode was mostly fine, although the fight between Boba/Fennec and the assassin folks felt really off. Also, there's a scene where Boba is walking with the Tusken kid and the Rodian over a dune, and it looked really jarring. Otherwise, looking forward to the next episode
