The Book of Boba Fett - Review

Hello Star Wars fans!

After finishing season 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian, this week I have been watching The Book of Boba Fett.


Name - The Book of Boba Fett
Released - 2021
Director - Robert Rodriguez


In the evenings I have been catching an episode or two of first The Mandalorian season 1 and 2 but now I have finished watching The Book of Boba Fett.

After the climatic ending to season 2 of The Mandalorian, I was not sure what to expect from The Book of Boba Fett. We were briefly introduced to him and his sidekick Fennec Shand who just seems to be totally awesome in the Mandalorian season 2 and now there is a whole series dedicated to the characters.

The series starts off as usual on Tattoine which is a popular planet for the Star Wars saga. Here we see how he lost his armor and how then that The Mandalorian was able to stumble upon it.

Probably Boba Fett should not have survived his early years as all that he went through seems highly improbable for any regular person to live through, but he did.

We see him first as prisoner and later befriended by a tribe of aliens who are particularly strange and have some weird weapons and customs. They seem not to be so developed like other aliens in the galaxy and can get picked off fairly easily. Nevertheless, Boba makes a special bond with them. This part of the series is particularly not so interesting and the weird alien stuff not so watchable.

Without giving anything away, let's say he moves on from this stage and we seem him unite with his sidekick Robin Fennec Shand. The series finally starts to pick up and we see some of Boba's aspirations to become an overlord and rule people with respect instead of fear.

Slowly more cool characters are introduced such as a really cool Wookie. There are some great battle scenes that are taking place quite regularly, and they sort of fit to the overall storyline, but it is very weak and hard to believe sometimes. I mean sci-fi generally has this problem being fantasy and all.

However, it doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the series and the battles with different lasers, aliens and attack droids are great fun to see. The young Luke Skywalker training his Jedi apprentice is a theme throughout the series still, but we don't really get to see the strength of the Jedi as much as in The Mandalorian.

We also get to see a build up of the bad guys who trade something called spice for trading and this is a profitable business that they don't want interferred with. The name of this reminded me quite a bit of the Dune series.

My favorite scene is probably the cinematic climax with the Boba riding the dinosaur type creature taking on some of the latest super-killer attack droids. Seeing Boba and The Mandalorian flying around and attacking is good fun plus the Clint Eastwood-esque faceoff is pretty funny too.

Overall, I can recommend the series to all Star Wars fans and it is a nice spin-off that takes you in a bit different direction towards the Wild West and Frontier rather than directly battling the Empire. If you are not a fan of sci-fi, you may want to skip it, as it takes a lot for your imagination.

I've always been a fan of Ming Na, so this is some really good stuff. I think a lot of people were complaining that there wasn't enough Bobba in it, but I thought it was decent. I am glad you enjoyed it!

avatar

I think Ming Na was really a stand out performance, her character also particularly cool. It was good fun and I cant wait to start S3 of The Mandalorian.

avatar

I hope you enjoy it! After that you will have to watch Obi Wan and Andor!

avatar

Definitely, both on my list. Friday night kicks off!

avatar

I thought you busy but you still even had time to watch a ton of episodes :P

avatar

Just 2 seasons since last week :)

avatar

that's a lot of episodes :) you gotta be playing all those crypto games same time no way o.o cuz u still got real life full time job

avatar

I liked a lot of parts of Boba Fett, but there were a few things I didn't really like. The Mandalorian episodes were really good and I think he almost stole the show from poor ole' Boba haha

It built up to a good ending though.

I haven't finished season 3 of Mando yet, but I've seen the first couple of episodes.

A really good one to watch too is Andor, I didn't know what to expect with that show, but it turned out amazing.

avatar

Yeah I feel you there. He was shown up a little bit by Mando. I start s3 of Mando tonight and I just saw the trailer for Andor and will be checking that out after.

avatar

Andor is really good because it shows the empire as they were in the original trilogy, cold, calculating, and overconfident. Also the main character is really cool.

avatar

Of the Star Wars series that have come along, The Book of Fett is m second favorite behind only The Mandalorian.

avatar

I can understand that, there was a lot of great scences and action in the last few episodes for sure.

avatar

Awesome Steve i haven't seen this yet but i may have to now you recommended it. 😉
Bobafett was always one of my favourites from Starwars and i was wishing that they would expand on his story more.
Have a fantastic weekend @mypathtofire 😎

If you like Sci-fi, it is for sure worth watching, I can recommend it. Thanks for checking it out and featuring my post.

avatar

Mandalorian season one was the pinnacle of recent starwars for me. Book of Boba Fett was a bit odd, especially with all the flash forwards/backwards. The ending was cool though.

avatar

Yeah it had a great ending. Mando season 3 has started well too.

avatar

My other half watches that one.
I like these series mostly Andor and The Bad Batch

Sounds like an interesting movie.
It's my first time hearing about the movie.

Did I watch any Star war movie?? thinking................

I can't recall any!!

But I think it watched a few TV series with the similar theme.

I hope that this review will be beneficial for the fans :)
