| DaOld Man:
Last episode of the season. No spoilers, but it was very good! Best episode yet. |

Oh god no. That episode was god awful. The battles were so boring. Had a lot of unnecessary things like constant spin moves for “omg cool” factor. The “war” was so budget! They had what, 20 people total fighting? Felt really sparse. The big destroyer scenes were so poorly written. Idiots running away down a straight path ina group just looking to get picked off. You idiots can duck into those buildings, or split up down alleys…it’s not like that street was walled off and there were cover points everywhere!! Boba Fett admitting getting old really weakened his character overall. Self deprecating Boba?? That is not his character. The best thing about the series was when the Mandalorian showed up a few episodes ago. Mando was the shot of adrenaline the show needed. Without him, no way the version of Boba would have lasted. |

Man, Book of Boba Fett... Wanted to love it. It had some genuinely great moments (which weirdly felt altogether like a different show - thinking mainly episodes 5 and 6), but overall it was a bit of a letdown. I didn't hate it, but just so many questionable choices in the narrative. I mean, I can't believe it took until the 7th episode that we actually saw Boba finally kicking some arse and using his jetpack whilst fully armoured up. They should've had him doing that in the very first episode, instead of getting beat up by those shield ninjas and letting Fennec do all the action stuff. Or in the fight against the Wookie: "Hey Mr Rodriguez, are we going to do the fight scene with the evil Wookie with Boba using all the gadgets and arsenal he's got packed into his armour?" "Nah, let's just let the Wookie fling him about a bit in his Y-fronts, then we'll get the ---smurfing--- Inspector Gadget kids to save him!" Boba was too placid and turn the other cheek. Sure, give the guy a baddie turns good redemption arc, but don't turn him into an indecisive wuss that constantly gets outsmarted, FFS. I think instead of the Griff Tannen reject squad scooter gang, it would've been better if he'd assumed control of the swoop biker gang and used them as his muscle. And talking of needing muscle, no Bossk? No Dengar? Missed opportunities... The show really lacked a strong antagonist too. Again a mystifying decision as it looked like the Hutt twins were going to fill that roll nicely and then they just ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- off in episode 3! Uggghhhh. The Pike's were fine as general cannon fodder, but we really needed a proper arch villain. Cad Bane turning up for 5 minutes doesn't count! Also (I'll stop ranting in a second) they should've had some Bib Fortuna in episode 4 - given some context as to how exactly Boba felt he'd been betrayed by him. Like I say though, I didn't hate it. If we're getting into major SPOILERS here, the CGI Luke in episode 6 was mind blowing-ly well done. There was practically no uncanny valley-ness about him at all and having Ahshoka and Timothy Olyphant show up again was awesome. I really enjoyed the whole restoration of the Naboo N1 Starfighter as well, it's probably my favourite ship design from the whole prequel trilogy, so seeing one again here was a really nice touch. |
