Plot: On the sands of Tatoonie, bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigate the Galaxy’s underworld and fight for Jabba the Hutt’s old territory.
I was looking forward to this show.
I didn’t Like the Book of Boba Fett That Much.
Pros: Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen both had equal screen presence that kept me engaged because of how good those two actors were. I enjoyed a lot of the nostalgia players from the star wars universe playing a part in this show & the special effects and scenery are on point and very believable.
Cons: Throughout this spin-off I couldn’t understand what was happening at times and it was confusing. Boba Fett wasn’t always the main character of this show even though it is named after him. Other characters appeared in bizarre circumstances and it felt like they were only put in as an afterthought and to fill in the gaps. The final confrontation was both exciting and also ridiculous.
