The Book of Boba Fett

They really need to not overdo these shows.

 

How many original series does this make now?

 

 

[funhusker]

Agree.

 

I'd be more interested in a weekly 1-hour show that incorporates all the characters in an over-arching storyline than watching 4-5 different shows.  There is a lot of possibilities now with the cast they've introduced this season of Mandolorian and the storylines they've set up.

 

But, if this makes it so there is new content throughout the year, I can deal with it!

It would be one thing if these were full-fledged, 22 episode-a-season series. This will most likely be an 8 episode season, or possibly 6 like the Obi-Wan series.

The problem is Disney is just printing money at this point.

 

@Cdog923

 

Agree, the 8 episode season is fine.  I do think this thing could be a little too saturated.

It's Boba Fett, I'm taking this all as hard and fast as I can take it and saying "Yes Daddy".

With these series, if taken in a vacuum, I think they're fine, but if they start to dovetail into one another (which I think Boba Fett, Mando and Ashoka eventually will), then you've got the issue of people having to keep up with 4-5 shows just to keep plotpoints in line. 

 

I don't think that anything taking place outside of the "RotJ" era will be a big issue; like the Bad Batch, Andor (who is asking for this one?) or Obi Wan shows.

Boba Fett? Wasn't he like a bounty hunter or something??

If this is going to be Sopranos in Space, I'm here for it.

Trailer looks intriguing.

 

Main hangup for me is that Robert Rodriguez' episode of The Mandalorian was by far the worst and my least favorite, imo, and his career & work don't give me confidence that he can successfully manage a project like this.

 

Happy to be proven wrong though.

2 episodes in and I'm lukewarm thus far. Some good set pieces, but I'm not completely sold on what they're doing, or how they're accomplishing it.

Agree.  I liked episode two with the story about the train and the Raiders.  But I'm not really sure what the point of the first 15 minutes was.

Someone made a point on Twitter that one big problem with the Book of Boba Fett is the actor playing Boba is too old. I know it's the same actor who played Jango Fett in SW Episode 2, but Boba is supposed to be much younger than what he looks like in the actor portraying him.

 

I like how have they given the Tusken Raiders some additional back story about their tribe, but the whole thing has gone pretty slow the first 2 episodes. I know Mandalorian started off pretty slow, too.

I'm just not a fan of Robert Rodriguez involved with this IP. His episode of season 2 of Mando was the worst directed by a landslide, and I saw the same style popping up immediately Book of Boba - primarily with action set pieces.

I don't necessarily disagree but I think a lot of it is the difference between movies and TV shows.  The 6-10 hours they make out of TV shows contain a storyline that they could make into a 2.5 hour movie but they have more time to set the scene and tell some side stories.  But I think our expectations are for things to start happening like they do in the movies.

 

The Mandalorian had a fast first episode then didn't really accomplish anything (other than setting up the finale) for several episodes.  WandaVision went almost nowhere for three-ish episodes.  As I recall, Loki also started out at a fairly moderate pace.  

 

It's just a different style of storytelling.
