You can do anything in Star Wars as long as it involves robes, repurposed ice cream mixers and world war 2 surplus weapons. 1960s mod culture is a step too far.

I think I figured it out. Book of Boba Fett is a Yakuza game set in the Star Wars universe. Fett is just Ichiban running around being opposite day gangster helping people out and making friends along the way.

Boba Fett broke his toe kicking the wookiee and was up and walking two minutes later. Mutt the Greaser had his balls crushed by several plant stalks and kept sword fighting Galadriel and swinging with monkeys.

What in the actual gently caress did I just watch? That was probably the worst chase scene I've ever seen in TV/film history. Who greenlit bright-colored hover motorcycles zooming through city streets on bland-rear end Tatooine? Crashing through 2 people holding a painting? That was the worst poo poo I've seen in a long time. The rancor was cool until Boba decided he wanted to gently caress it. This show is SO bad and makes Boba look pretty much inept at every turn in the present day scenes. Good loving grief, Disney.

I think Hamill was pretty busy at the time since he'd also been doing DC cartoons and whatever other voice work that a few weekend sessions for a game localization probably blurred for him. He's actually a pretty good Majima when all is said and done. There were a lot of good English voiceovers for Japanese games back then. The first Samurai Warriors game has a killer voice cast.

But honestly, why does Boba seem so completely inept in the present day scenes? He acts nothing like a badass bounty hunter he was portrayed as in the movies, and the crime lord syndicate he's supposed to be in the show. He gets surrounded by laser shields in episode 1, but doesn't use the JETPACK he has to get out of them?

Boba fett got punted into a sand vagina by a blind man what movies were you watching. This is like the EU treating Tie Fighters as garbage flying coffins despite the movies consistently showing them to be deadly and flown by absolute lunatics. People build up this bizarre preconceived notion in their heads that doesn't square with what is actually shown. Or how Hollywood convinced themselves that Ghostbusters was a family friendly adventure movie and not a joke about cynical small business owners scamming their customers.

Also the point of the show seems to be about how Boba Fett is hosed up and traumatized by his near-death experience and has clearly lost a step since he got swallowed by the sand vagina and has been softened a little bit by his recovery process and now he's trying to do a bunch of things that are well beyond his paygrade as some wandering chump bounty hunter and he's making all sorts of mistakes and pissing everyone off and it's clearly leading him towards some serious Consequences in the near future because of he's that out of his depth. The thesis seems to be: BOBA FETT: I've got this poo poo. NARRATOR: Boba Fett did not, in fact, have this poo poo.

So the vespa gang of misfits with inspector gadget gizmos should have been a rabble of dirty, dingy gear-head youths with cobbled together speeder choppers. They should have been introduced in background establishing shots of Mos Espa in Episode 1 or 2 and shown to be trouble makers and generally up to no good. This would help to establish a sense that Mos Espa has become somewhat lawless and less safe following Jabba's demise and introduce us to these punks ahead of time.

tbh I think the show should be portraying Boba as more badass than it is, and it is making him seem like a chump. I'm okay with him getting kicked around and loving up, but the dude was a bounty hunter with enough cred to be hired by Vader, he should be pretty cutthroat just to have survived for long in that line of work. It'd be more interesting to see him go into it with a "just kill everyone" attitude and through the series learn finesse and restraint through a series of fuckups where thinking like a bounty hunter just doesn't work. As it is, the show is a constant string of Boba walking back and forth between people who betray him. I am extremely okay with him wanting a giant Weird Dog to live in his basement and give scritches too because who wouldn't?

It's hard to build tension when the protagonist can just beat up/kill everyone that opposes him. The Mandalorian was allowed to be more of a badass because he was up against the remnants of the galactic empire with murder droids. Boba Fett doesn't have an antagonist of that scale on Tatooine because he's the guy in charge of Tatooine, so he has to be toned down to allow for actual conflict.

Boba Fett has always been a goddamn chump. The only competent thing he’s ever shown doing in the OT is tracking the Falcon to Bespin. He’s literally handed his bounty pre-frozen on Cloud City and then runs away from the fight with his prize. Then he turns that poo poo in to Jabba and apparently just hangs out until that dipshit Jabba allows an entire rescue team to infiltrate his palace and free Han, at which point Boba finally proves his badassness by… getting his blaster cut in half by a kid who barely qualifies as a Jedi and a blind man knocks him into a pit completely by accident with the help of his garbage junk jetpack. If anything, this show is making him more competent than he was in the OT.

Boba Fett doesn't have an antagonist of that scale on Tatooine because he's the guy in charge of Tatooine, so he has to be toned down to allow for actual conflict. What I'm saying is you establish Fett as a beat up dude who is still a badass but is resorting to violence because that's all he knows, and also to prove to himself that he's still Got It. Then you engineer situations where killing people makes things more complicated/worse. Have Boba start by killing a bunch of Bib's underlings but whoops! They were the people that knew how to run the Crime! Guess we'd better find some replacements. Or like the Hutts, have them hang around, a problem that Boba can't just gun down because then the entire Hutt family will come knocking and even he can't deal with that. poo poo, he needs more allies for this, remember the lessons learned making friends with the Sand People? And so on. Big Mean Jerk posted:Boba Fett has always been a goddamn chump.

Boba Fett was shown to be a clever tracker, which is part of what makes an effective bounty hunter. Bounty Hunting is not the "be the best at giant shoot outs" profession. Its the tracking & capture profession. And actually from the OT we can kind of glean that Fett may not be that good at capturing because he is told not to disintegrate the bounties. There is plenty of expanded material that shows Boba is cool/feared/whatever. In the moving picture canon we have him defeat a dropship worth of stormtroopers , a biker gang, a giant sand creature, etc.
