This show is mind-boggling and not for the right reasons. It is slow, poorly produced, and the dialogue makes me cringe. Oh and guess what? Once again, Disney has managed to take a beloved Star Wars character and completely ruin it.
It makes no sense to me why Disney feels like they have to throw their own spin onto characters that already have an identity (as established in the first 6 movies). The Disney Formula has proven time and time again that it does not produce a good star wars show/movie. In this show, which is supposed to be about Boba Fett and not filler for the Mandalorian Season 3, they have managed to make Boba appear weak, diplomatic, and sympathetic to the people of Tatooine. The Boba I know would not have given a flying flip about protecting anyone other than himself. The Boba I know would have instantly killed the speeder bike "gang," or anyone else for that matter, the second they talked back to him. Yes, he is definitely much older than he used to be, but he still has more than enough years left in him to pack a serious punch.
Dialogue can be fun and character development is a must, but it should not have to take 3-4 episodes to set a decent plot. Honestly, it would've been more representative of Boba to have less come out of his mouth. Ultimately, it felt like this show was a major cash grab with no intention of fan service in regards to Boba Fett's character. If I could go back in time, I would have avoided watching this series knowing how they were going to destroy one of my favorite Star Wars characters of all time. I guess the saying holds true, "There's no need to fix something that isn't broken." Honestly, since Disney acquired Star Wars, the only good thing to come out of it has been Rogue One. Everything else has managed to miss the magic that Star Wars brings to the television set. Overall, I felt thoroughly underwhelmed and frustrated with this show, and I am extremely hesitant to watch what Disney produces in the future. For the upcoming Kenobi series, I am going to wait awhile and let others tell me if it is worth watching before becoming fully invested. Will Kenobi once again come to the rescue? I sure hope so, as I am fearful of what Disney may do to him like they have already done to so many of our beloved characters.
