The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 2

The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 2

Title: The Tribes of Tatooine
Directed by: Steph Green
Runtime: 52 minutes

I am going to begin by getting something off my chest. Apparently this show is getting highly criticized because “they changed Boba Fett”. Boba Fett has about 3 minutes of total screen time across 11 movies; that is hardly sufficient time to establish everything about a character. I’m sorry if your creative meeting with Dave Filoni didn’t go your way, perhaps if you contact his secretary another meeting can be arranged.

We have this saying we tell our 7 year old when she doesn’t get her way: “You get what you get and you don’t get upset”. It’s pretty lame that a lesson for children has to be applied to adults. /EndSoapbox

Brief (Spoiler Free) Recap

Boba Fett’s attempts to establish his position as “daimyo” continues to meet more resistance. There are more that oppose his claim to Jabba’s throne. In his past, Boba continues to befriend the Tusken tribe that captured him by helping them thwart a familiar foe.

This is easily my favorite episode so far and that’s primarily because of the cameo’s. Before I get into that, we need to do this first …

The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 1

Title: Stranger in a Strange Land
Directed by: Robert Rodriguez
Runtime: 38 minutes

I enjoyed doing this for The Mandalorian so I’m going to do it again for The Book of Boba Fett. There will be spoilers if I need to discuss them but, as I did for other series, I will provide a warning. So let’s get started dicussing The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 1.

I’m under the impression that Robert Rodriguez will be directing all of the episodes so I may not always list the Directed by in the future. Also, I’m going to assume you have watched all of The Mandalorian, including the post-credits scene of Chapter 16.

On my first watch through, I freaking loved it. It does start a little slow to give some back story in the form of flashbacks (more on that later). I think the point of the backstory serves as a tribute to the Skywalker Saga with references to ROTJ and the prequels.

The flashbacks are dreams while Boba rests, but the episode does set up the series. Boba is the new crime boss after dethroning Bib Fortuna and he sets out to ensure he is recognized as the new leader.

ICYMI: The Book of Boba Fett Trailer

I am a slacker. This trailer was released yesterday and, for reasons beyond explanation, I am just now posting it here. In case you missed it, here is the Book of Boba Fett trailer:

This will not be one of those posts where I break down every frame because that’s ridiculous. I’d rather let the trailer speak for itself and we will see what all of it means on December 29th.

With that said I am very much looking forward to Temura Morrison kicking some more ass along side the lovely Ming-Na Wen. I’ve always been a fan of her work. I am excited for this new addition to the amazing Star Wars Universe!

The Force. It calls to you. Just let it in.
