Main Things wrong with Boba Fett show.


1. Too much flashback. Yes, it is cool to see how Boba escaped the desert and lived with the Sandpeople. But it takes away too much of the character’s mystique.

2. Unhelmed too much. Boba is more menacing with the helmet. Without it, he’s just some old bald guy. Hmm, where have we seen that before in the Star Wars universe? Again, the mystique aspect.

3. The setting. It’s all on one world. There’s no travelling. There’s no Space. Just sand. The limited scope of the show by design hurts it, compared to the constantly changing worlds of Mandolorian.

4. Pacing. It’s too casual and relaxed. Too friendly. Boba is too friendly, too. Where is all the tension or suspense? More disintegration is what we need!

I could go on, but you get the geist of it. I still dig the show, but it could be better. It says something that the best episode to date, by FAR, of Book of Boba, is about Mando, not Boba at all!
