The Book Of Boba Fett - Disney+ (**Spoilers**)

If Filoni wanted nothing to do with the sequel trilogy, maybe he shouldn't have made Star Wars Resistance, which took place during the trilogy's events and had characters from the trilogy show up.

Of course, maybe he was told to do it and he did so reluctantly in order to get his other series made.

I wouldn't say it's what was "originally" set out. I mean it got reduced from 8 to 7 episodes because of Covid restrictions, but I do agree that it wasn't a case of "Boba Fett isn't working, Quick throw on an episode of The Mandalorian!!!"

I'm not a fan of this approach if I'm honest. Generally when you borrow a character from a shared universe show (Buffy and Angel, The Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith, those Arrowverse shows etc) you tend to put them back the way you found them. Those that gave up on Boba Fett after 3 episodes are coming back to the Mandalorian with Din flying a new ship, his spear now a coat of mithril Beskar for Grogu who may or may not be back with him, he's cast out of his Guild and another Mandolorian wants to kill him to get the dark sabre.

I think it was definitely always the intention to have Mando in TBOBF. I'd say it would have been better and not as jarring if his scenes had been more spread out through earlier episodes, but I think they wanted that reveal of Fennec saying they needed muscle and then Mando's theme playing to end an episode and hint at his arrival.

I think it's just a case of balance and pacing. They might have been better incorporating some of Mando's scenes into earlier episodes and group some of the flashback/Tuskan stuff together into one episode on its own. I fundamentally disagree that they course corrected while editing episodes and just brought some of the Mando Season 3 stuff into it though. The work involved in that, not least the Luke CGI, bringing Rosario Dawson back for an episode etc, I think it's extremely unlikely.

That's why the whole mess is even more astonishing.

It's funny that the best episode of Boba Fett was the one in which he is entirely absent. Integrating them makes sense for Disney though as Boba Fett becomes a "must see" even for those who have no interest in Boba Fett.

I like the show though don't think Temuera Morrison is great and the return of the Mandalorian just made that even more evident.

And good lord what were they thinking with the hipsters on their mopeds.

I honestly have no idea who those hover vespa riding "Mods" were supposed to be appealing to. Most younger folk would be meh about it and the older folk who got the (incredibly piss poor joke) would have just rolled their eyes.

Abolutely astonishing that something that cack handed could have made it past the ideas stage.

Judging from the majority response to them, they'll end up remaining on the shelf I reckon.

I honestly don't get the hate for how this has run. I've enjoyed the slower pace of Boba and as much as I loved the Mandalorian, found it odd that he was so prominent in some of the episodes with Fett completely out of the picture.
