Why I'm Scared For The Boba Fett Show 

Very well said! TboBF is way too lighthearted for a series about a trained killer turned crimelord. I really hope the show goes in the direction you speak of!

I’m scared Disney is gonna make his show all family friendly when boba should be a stone cold badass killer

Honestly, a show with Boba just being silent and tilting his head isn't too appealing, but I agree that dumbing down characters (like the fucking space phalanx scene) might become a major problem in later episodes.

Lol yeah, also, that mayor’s aide was way too friendly/cheesy sounding, although this is only the first episode so I’m not too worried yet

Totally valid criticism, I’d personally give the pilot a 6/10 wasn’t crazy about it but I can see the potential

Honestly wish they had the guts to make a SW show rated 18+ if any show needed it it's book of Boba, for a show about a guy that kills people for money turned crimelord, this show is way too lighthearted to the point it's akward.

I think people are getting confused with your main point. It was not that Boba should have relatively no dialogue and only nod his helmet to get OT fans wet and maintain extreme mystique or whatever. The example of a great director for how Boba should be portrayed in Rick Famuyiwa was the main point, I believe. As in yes, Boba Fett should have more dialogue in his very own show and do more/a lot of body movement but the execution of this should be more calculated and non-contradictory towards other pieces of media and/or ideas earlier established. Just like Vader and Maul can have a lot of dialogue in media and as well as failures but that doesn't stop them from being the most scary, badasses in the galaxy. These factors presented before do not always dumb down a badass, it enhances them, so get it right disney, or current BoBF directors. Don't be afraid little disney directors, and other important disney staff, make bold moves, make dark moves, make moves that make me drop my mouth down to my balls. And... Do it right. Just as other humans who are not exactly super in intellect or planning or whatever you call it, have.

The legends Boba fans have a lot on the line

This has aged pretty well… man as a huge Boba Fett fan, I’m really wishing we didn’t get this show 😕

When Boba stopped the tusken youngling from hitting him I genuinely thought he was gonna do an Anakin on him

My dad pointed out the fact that if Boba was asleep in the bacta tank, he should have his nose plugged because he might be breathing through his nose.

I completely agree with you , when I first saw boba in the sarlac pit I thought we would get an awesome escape scene but we didn't get anything that cool at all ,I wish that boba felt like the same boba in the original trilogy , and he just shouldn't be talking as much as he is atleast that's what I think

Even the Battlefront games nail his character from voice lines alone. In the episode, he doesn't feel like the same badass discreet mercenary. Let's hope it gets better.

I think they’re trying to make him more like his father, jango was a cold bounty Hunter hidden by a helmet most of the time but he was way more sociable than boba, jango would talk to anyone meanwhile boba would just nod or a small sentence back, so now that boba is older I think the producers are wanting him to be more of a jango now.. (Don’t have any opinions about it, just my take)

Legends was dark and complex and brutal especially for the mandos and Jedi and sith but Disney canon just can’t get to those levels it’s really sad I’m really hoping for a vader flashback the canon fans need to see the Vader/Boba team up from legends there’s a reason why vader team up buddy is always boba give vaders right hand man some respect Disney/lucasflims

You speak exactly what I think. EXACTLY. I am also scared for the show. I imagined Mando as Boba too but even Mando had it's lowpoints. I really wish SW writers were like Cobra Kai writers and appreciated the source material and made something original and beautiful.

LMAO those mando edits are v good. Great Video Vorpal

I tend to not expect too much from Disney anymore. That being said, I still enjoyed the episode.

I like these new kind of videos

1:55 🥵

Finally someone laid out exactly what Ive been thinking, so many moments I was like "This isn't Boba Fett, Boba would not be this dumb", handing over his helmet willy nilly to some random Twi'lek masseus', walking around MOS ESPA as a new crime lord not wearing his helmet just WAITING to be taken out by a single blaster shot, has to be saved by his two pig men guards because he forgot he has a JETPACK, deciding to shoot a wrist rocket POINT BLANK into a wall of shields. ugh. UGH. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QIgQMnRoNpQ.html

The whole premise of the second episode is that boba is finally moving outside of jangos shadow and he is becoming his own identity, and the third episode has a lot of dark stuff in it.

Wow, dude, you exposed all of my thoughts while watching the show XD I still have hope, it's just the first episode. The problem is, in my opinion, The Mandalorian is so well done that, when I rewatched its first scene just after the end of the first episode of BOBF, it gave me chills. When i will rewatch something of BOBF I hope to feel the same thing, but i think that it will not happen with most of the things that we saw in the pilot. The truth is that we lost the mystery beyond the character during those years (I'm excluding the legends because I didn't read anything). Think about that, they need to let the new generations know Boba and the older generation to feel the same coldness of the past years... AND it is very difficult if he is always in bacta or if he takes off his helmet everytime.

- loved the few stories we're given (childhood trauma, rotj-mando and ruling jabbas territory) - i think having two portrayals of boba would be best - a cool, cold and ruthless boba in his flashbacks with less dialogue + the one we have now who is more calm, understanding and not a straight up murderer, but still a badass and has more dialogue. - the fight did feel almost great but kinda weak, jetpack being used in the first episode would've been sick, he had to get dragged straight to the bacta chamber like come on bro we watch you kick ass in mando, no bacta needed every two minutes i still enjoyed it, especailly as a pilot episode

Ep 6 of the Mandalorian is one of my favs. Thanks for bringing it up.

Totally agreed man really good summary of what ive been thinking about the first episode. I understand why they made boba phisicaly weaker because of the sarlacc and shit but i don't understand why the most experienced bounty hunter is suddenly stupid and irresponsible enough to first fire a wrist rocket at point blank range, then not even think about using his jetpack to escape (literally the most logical solution its almost like this scene was set up for him to show off his jetpack but he didnt lol) and lastly waste another wrist rocket on an escaping enemy. I have never read any books but after watching him for just 7 minutes in the OT and reading two comics you can tell that this guy was all about non stop caution, strategy, deadlines and most importantly efficiency and he presented the opposite of that in BOBF. I really hope the next episodes bring us the old expanded universe boba back but honestly it would seem weird that he would suddenly change after what we've seen as canonicaly he is already supposed to be in his prime or past it after escaping sarlacc :((

I figure that they will add more to the sarlac pit and I also hope they do the show seemed to do a lot of back and forth at first so I still got hopes but the thing I loved about boba from the original movies was how he didn’t talk a lot but his posture and confidence talks for him

i wish they spent more time on the show tbh

This was a really well made video and it made me reflect on portions of the first episode. I also thought the comparison you made with Rick Famuyiwa's episode was interesting and something I've never heard anyone mention before. I'm cautiously optimistic. My hope is that things catch up to speed and we get to see what a Boba Fett series is truly capable of. I really hope I'm right.

one of the best episode analyses ive heard, and its funny because as a member of your audience, you just seem like a regular dude who plays games

Agree with all points. For me a cosmetic issue I’ve had is that the lead actor didn’t bother to lose weight for the role. Takes me out of the experience. Boba was eating good in the sarlac pit

damn dude I agree with you on everything when I watched the show I thought something was off a bit but I couldn't say what and you pretty much said everything I was thinking. And that was a good comparison of mando ep. 6

What I take from this video is that you wanted the Boba from the og trilogy who wasn't a character. He had absolutely nothing to work with in terms of making him intresting beyond just "badass bounty hunter is badass". I personally much prefer the Boba we're getting here. A man who has to struggle with wanting to be an honorable man in a world of crime. Of course that doesn't make this episode perfect. I completely agree with everything you said about the sarlac pit being extremely underwhelming and that action scene with the assassins being dumb as all hell. I just don't take any personal issue with actually giving Boba character (I know there was probably more to him in the books, but they aren't canon anymore so I don't think it's real critisism to say Boba doesn't line up with the books, not to say that was a point you made. Just putting it out there). Good video though, you put your points across significantly better than anyone else I've seen talk about the show and even if I disagree, I can't say your talking shit. We just want different things.

it was embarrassing watching Boba getting his ass beat by the shield gang that he had to send his gf after them while his ass go into the healing bed. 😂

Robert Rodriguez. Yeah. That was the problem. I genuinely feel that he's the reason this episode will fall of deaf ears.

I know some people don’t like boba in this show, but both episodes for me were awesome. I’ve read/watched everything Boba related and idc if this dosent feel like Boba. First episode felt like boba down bad worse than he ever has been but you get to see how he becomes a crime lord. In my opinion, i like both episodes and I’m very hyped for the rest of the series Edit: I agree with boba for helping the mando cause he’s trying to build his empire out of respect. In order to get that respect he has to repay that debt of having his armor returned with no complications Double edit: I love boba too much man, if you see this, I would like to know your favorite thing about boba or favorite thing on ep 2. That suggestion of bringing the good director in would be such a good idea so we can see how badass Boba can be

I agree 100%, I would love to see you review more star wars content

i agree with u spread the word

You’d be amazing as a director or screenwriter

Hello. Book of Boba Fetts been great so far. I hope it gets better but the episode plotline is very good. Especially the cameo...in ep 2. Would definitely recommend watching it.

Agreed with most of ur points. But one thing abt the sarlaac and this is just a speculation, ig he burned a hole into the organs and found a way out but in the end just a theory

This video was extremely well made

Although I feel like you were nit picking at some parts in this video, as well as not understand that they need to make him weaker to give him space to improve and overcome in the next episodes. I understand your criticism of the sudden change of personality. And how it doesn't feel like boba fett at multiple moments in the show.

Happy new year Vorpal!

Finally got that legends boba book trilogy for Christmas. Excited to get into it. So far, dengar and his wife have gotten a broken and battered boba from the sarlacc and onto their ship. That being said, im hooked and definitely gonna finish it. Thanks vorpal!

I enjoyed the flashbacks in the show but I felt like it was all over the place in the present however I feel like they are still just filling us in too quickly

What tips do you have for baby duelists, and can you make a video on it?

You are completely right about this

Ok to be fair boba changed alot since the empire he talks about how he has learned and also learns respect

I understand all your criticisms and I agree to a degree with some of them however I do disagree with some too. Boba is a bit different to say the least from him in the OT but we hardly saw him in the OT so it’d be bold to assume what we did see is his whole personality and it’s also kinda the point to change up and develop the character of Boba now he’s no longer a bounty hunter

I feel exactly the same way --- im real scared as well

He’s also kinda passive and not as ruthless as I thought he would be

I like when they attack the train

I hate how much they have removed Din and Bobas helmets. Thought they were Mandalorians, not cosplayers?

You bring up a lot of good points, I think this show has a lot of potential but it's very sad that they somewhat butchered the first episode. Hopefully they can turn it around next episode... and yeah there are a ton of inconsistencies, and like you said they completely dumbed him down. Side note, I love this kind of content. You have good opinions 👍

I liked it enough, but I do understand where you're coming from. I don't think it was bad, I just hope the next episodes are better.

I hope you liked the second episode ☺️

This is exactly what I said and was thinking about. I discussed this with my friends and they were thinking the same thing

As soon as he said “I’m not a bounty hunter.” I lost it… I thought he was gonna end it with “….anymore.” Nope, just straight said he’s not a Bounty Hunter, when his character description literally is described as “one of the most feared bounty hunters of the galaxy.” That’s not the only contradiction of the show either, there’s so much more and it sucks to see/hear.

Simply amazing, agree very much and thought the same or similar.

I feel the exact same as you, I was saying why doesn’t he use his jet pack and why did he use his rocket at point blank

My guy you are spot on!

Great insights!!! Agree!

You're right, it really seems like they dumbed him down... he should be a ruthless bounty hunter who murders anybody without hesitation. And he should've used his jetpack in that scene. Since you pointed that out I realize now just how stupid that fight was...

great take felt completely the same when he wouldn't use his jett pack, came across as an undercooked old fat man who cant take out a couple of assassins' despite being the best bounty hunter in the galaxy

God I love ur channel

I've interviewed Jeremry Bulloch many times in the past, He always used to say that Boba Fett should have never taken his helmet off. Also Boba Fett should have never been linked to clone wars etc. His childhood should have never been shown to us. The audience should never know who he really is, as It adds to the mystery of the character. The audience should just be given hints or snippets of dialogue that indicate what hes been through, but never really show us.

I loved the episode, and sure there were some things that were off.... but damn this review had me cracking up like hell and I officially died at 5:45 🤣🤣

That was great, mate

I love how he taught the tuskins

This is a goddam amazing video. True facts

Putting the original boba fett theme in this would've been one of the best moves to pull but I guess as cool as it would've been, it probably would be on the lines of that Disney doesn't own the theme song and Lucasfilm does

I couldn’t agree more, when I said this to my mates after the first episode I nearly got shot. They didn’t want to believe it and were in denial. I couldn’t believe the spy kids director got a boba fett episode

I kinda wish they did like this. Season 1: flashbacks and him making his way out of the sarlacc and crawling through the sand. It would've probably gave it a 127 hour vibe to it which would've been amazing a claustrophobic ride. Season 2: Boba gaining help from the sand people to regain gear and strength. Maybe even learning new tricks only the sand people know? Season 3: he gets to the point where he is able to come back and becomes the top dog in bounty hunting and the entire crime syndicate. Personally they haven't really done star wars justice since rogue one. Idk if it's just me moving on in life or if it's me missing the old dark and gritty ambience star wars had. However it just hasn't had the same spark, hell I love boba but I couldn't even make it through 1 minute of the first episode.

I would have loved the way boba escaped to have been somehow connected to the greater Craig dragon, since that’s the one thing which eats them. Plus’s what’s more badass than than crawling out of a giant living pit? A giant living Dragon

I’m very glad someone else saw these issues. Boba Fett has always been my favorite Star Wars character, hell my favorite fictional character. But god damn that episode felt like a flop, I really hope it gets better.

Episode 2 was so well done though. You can’t deny it

the next episode was very good and i knew i wouldnt be worried

If that shot where he stuck his hand out of the sand was the first shot of the sequel trilogy I may have enjoyed those movies.

1:51 🥵🥵

Also, Robert Rodriguez keeps fucking forgetting about the jetpacks. In the mandalorian s2 e6, mando is told to leave his jetpack on the ground by boba, once he sees the stormtroopers coming, why tf does he not pick up the jetpack? I got the answer, lazy writing... How hard would it have been to just have the dark troopers pick grogu up and then overpower mando during an aerial chase sequence in which mando uses his jetpack to go after him. He does the same thing when boba goes to town in episode 1, when attacked by the assassins, why didn't they have boba kick some ass instead of getting his ass kicked? Also, after watching the stinking pile of garbage that was episode 3, the excitement that I once had about a godfather type show with boba is completely gone. There was no buildup to the black krrsantan fight, and black krrsantan gets defeated by those fucking kids? This is just unbelievable

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Disney doesn’t know what the FUCK they’re doing with Star wars

mans want a show that goes " . . . yes . . . "

I want to see a show about boba at the height of his career. There are no excuses if they get that wrong. That would be the the best opportunity to show people how badass Boba really was.

How do you forget fenic shang, after she held her own agains cad bane and made him run, she’s pretty dope, slept on imo

Man i almost cried hearing you speak fax in numbers

I agree man I agree

At this point I don’t think even a Mary Sue of boba fett would please you, you expect him to just effortlessly craw out of the Pitt like the robot chicken episode. Also they literally do the same thing in the mandalorian with the krayt dragon.

Interesting takes, watched it with modern (=no) expectations, it was alright, but it would've been awesome if they followed your points. At the very least there was no forced woke bs, thats all you can hope for these days.

subbed

🐐

Just watch ep 2 on release hour and it turned around.

This show so far is like The amazing Spider-Man movies, they are kinda cool and have some dumb shit, but the most important thing is that they don’t really feel like an accurate representation of the character.

In the sarlacc flashback how did a storm trooper end up there

Rodriguez is only directing this episode so hopefully your criticisms are answered, I can see to your criticisms, they are valid, but as the first episode of the series, I am going to give it a pass and hope for a longer and better episode this next week

I think the show is amazing so far I love it

I think it’s pretty cool rn, but I feel like there’s too much back flashes

so... what do you think about chapter 2?

Second episode changed things major things

I am beginning to think this is the beginning of an abysmal failure, or a critical success. Time will tell
