The Book of Boba Fett Episode 6 (Page 2 of 2)

This episode was better than last week. Instead of feeling like an episode of The Mandalorian this episode felt more like a straight up Star Wars show like The Clone Wars. Cad Bane’s appearance was amazing and I love his line about Boba Fett – “Boba Fett is a cold blooded killer who worked with the Empire” – I think there is some foreshadowing there, because that’s exactly how Luke Skywalker sees Boba Fett. Should be interesting to see them interact in the finale. I’m also pretty sure it was Cad Bane who killed the Tusken tribe that took in Fett. The Pykes hired Cad Bane to kill the Tuskens and frame the massacre so it looked like it was the Nikto bike gang instead. I can imagine Boba and Bane having a standoff - and then there’s Black Krrsantan – will Cad Bane try to convince BK to join the Syndicate? Or will BK remember Boba’s advice about not working for the wrong people?

Episode 6 The Book of Boba Fett
*Announcer voice*
Recap: Last time on the Madalorian Season 3

Throw in extra characters for fun, tease Cobb Vanth, Ahsoka and Cad Bane fans.

End of show
Coming soon: The "New Adventures of Luke Skywalker and Grogu!"

Boba Fett: Less than 1 minute of screen time, no dialogue.  Hope TM getting paid a flat rate and not per time/episode or by line...

I must say, they have greatly polished young Luke Skywalker compared to the reveal in Mandalorian.  I thought it was pretty good as far as the digital overlay went, other than a few minor mouth movements and some dead digital eyes.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read this quote.  They're not wrong.

"Blink and you'll miss it, but The Book of Boba Fett features a massive surprise cameo from The Empire Strikes Back bounty hunter, Boba Fett. The character can be briefly glimpsed shortly after Din Djarin returns to Tatooine, standing by a holographic map with Fennec Shand."

That pretty much summed up his appearance in this episode.  As someone else mentioned, you see more of Boba in the opening "Recaps" than you do in the episode.

Did Grogu say “dank farrik” when he got shot by the remote droid?

I agree.  I wonder if people who keep telling others they don't understand storytelling really understand it themselves.  Good storytelling is staying with your narrative and moving your story forward.  The main story was only "moved forward" in the last minute or two of Episode 5, when Fennec asked Djarin to help.  It was barely moved forward in Episode 6.  The only story elements related to the main story were the Pykes in Mos Pelgo territory, everyone showing up for the mission briefing, and the Mos Pelgo scenes at the end.  Everything else didn't move the Boba Fett story forward, at all.  It only moved Din Djarin's story forward.  That could be done in his own series.  While the episodes were both extremely awesome, we didn't need to see that much of Din's story in order to move the Tatooine and Boba's story forward.  The only reason to have all that in there was just as a fan service.  In the Mandalorian, Boba was a secondary character in the episodes he showed up in.  Djarin always took the lead as main character in those stories.  Boba was just along for the ride to help in a supporting role.  In Book of Boba Fett, "good storytelling" would've had those roles reversed.  After the briefing, they should have had both Fett and Djarin go to Mos Pelgo.  Fett could've taken the lead, and Djarin could've been the supporting character, introducing him to the Marshal, and they both could've made their case with him.  The look of the townsfolk seeing Boba wearing the "Marshal's armor" would've been worth it alone.

Exactly Drix and Sadriel_Fett! They could've easily incorporated Boba Fett into those scenes, but instead they turn him into the cameo of his own show. I sighed relief when Din finally arrived at the palace hangar, thinking the story was finally picking up again, but groaned when he went to recruit Cobb on his own. They should've never built Din a new ship so Boba could at least be a glorified taxi driver like season 2 :P

And yes I know Twitter and Reddit are terrible representations of the Star Wars fandom, but it's just appalling to see the number of people who say "WHO CARES ABOUT THE TITLE, I'M HERE FOR THE GOOD CONTENT!", while fans who wanted to see Boba in his OWN show are instantly labelled as "irrational haters" or "impatient". Yep, god forbid people wanting to see the titular character get some development.. it's almost as if that's how a title works. Sucks that the positive reception to these past 2 episodes will probably normalize this kind of ridiculous storytelling for future Lucasfilm projects. Deceptive marketing at best, poor writing at worst.
