Hey, Iโm Emily and welcome to my art blog! I draw mostly fanart and I occasionally write some fan fiction. I mainly draw for: Star Wars, Marvel, BTS, Little Nightmares, Invincible and many others! I will also draw and write original content once and a while!
I know I said I would do this a few days ago but I decided it would be the best to just post this on here when I post it on my story on Instagram, so here it is now lol
I already wrote my thoughts on the last episode somewhere else so here it is:
Iโll probably post my thoughts on the show as a whole tomorrow. As of now, Iโm tired and need to sleep lol
BOBA FETT in every episode of THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT
BOBA FETT in THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger
Ok, I think now that itโs been a day I can make a less angry review of last nights episode. I will still be saying what I didnโt like about that episode tho. Because majority of it I didnโt enjoy as a TBOBF episode. If it was an episode of Mando Season 3, ok cool, I can see these last 2 episodes fitting in more with Mandoโs storytelling than TBOBFโs. If they really want those characters to appear in TBOBF THAT badly, then they can have them be small side characters and SHOULD NOT be stealing the light from the main character (Boba). Boba really couldโve been explored properly as a character and I believe they couldโve written something enjoyable because they make this Mando and Grogu stuff enjoyable, so why canโt they put that effort to Boba?
Idk really disappointed in the treatment of Boba ESPECIALLY in last couple episodes. They REALLY REALLY shouldโve saved that Din and Grogu stuff for Mando Season 3. It doesnโt tie into Bobaโs story or whatโs happening on Tatooine AT ALL.
It wouldโve been cool if the couple episodes, they get Din, Din realizes how urgent this is and joins them right away and throughout the two episodes they build the tension of the Pykes being on Tatooine and couldโve built onto Bobaโs character and his relationships with people around him, especially his relationship with Fennec. There, I came up with something they couldโve had the last 2 episodes be about and Iโm not even a professional yet!
I also hate how theyโre wasting the talent of such amazing actors such as Temuera and Ming-na. Just side lining them for shiny armor man and green baby thing (sorry Iโm salty right now, but I do like Din and Grogu a lot lol). Iโm justโฆ ughโฆ not happy with the last few episodesโฆ I really hope there is a second season of this and that that season will actually focus on Boba and his character. (And also give the respect that both Temuera and Ming-na deserve). And if there isnโt, well Boba should get 2 whole episodes to himself in Mando season 3 to be even.
The few positives I have: Boba showing up for a few seconds (WOOO! YEAH BABY! THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR! THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT! WOO!), my budgie talking to R2-D2 (he thought he was another budgie lol), Grogu was cute (still shouldโve saved his stuff for Mando season 3 tho), Ahsoka met Luke (also shouldโve saved that for Mando season 3 OR the Ahsoka show tho), CAD BANE, my budgie loving to watch Dinโs star fighter flying, those clone troopers in Groguโs flashback (one clone had a specially painted helmet :) Iโm probably the only person who noticed that)
I think I would have actually enjoyed seeing all this stuff happening if it was actually in Mando s3 instead of tbobf. โCause in all honesty getting to see things like Luke training Grogu, Ahsoka meeting luke, Din getting a new ship, paz fighting din for the darksaber, how the covert would react to dins helmat removal, and etc, are all things I truly did want to see at some point. But I didnโt want to see these things in tbobf. I didnโt want to see them in this show because tbobf isnโt supposed to be about these things, and having them there doesnโt even really make sense for Bobaโs story. Which is the story weโre supposed to be getting from the show.ย
This show is supposed to be about Boba and for the last two episodes we havenโt had that. Instead heโs been sidelined in his own show for things that could have easily been put in the first few episodes of Mando s3. Its disheartening, and not only that, but its also so disrespectful to Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen. They deserved better then this. So much better.ย
Ok, on a slightly more positive note, my pet budgie really liked the last episode lol Whenever Dinโs star fighter was on screen, flying, he was start singing sweetly. Andโฆ he really loved it when R2-D2 chirped and made noises, he even started replying to him ๐ญ
Glad you enjoyed the episode, Lizard (you made it slightly bearable with your cute chirps)
Seriously Iโm so salty and so mad about the last 2 episodesโฆ
Okโฆ deep breath, Emily, stay calmโฆ
Ok, so this last episode of tbobfโฆ
Quick disclaimer, I like Din, I like Luke, I like Grogu, I like every character that made a โstar appearanceโ in this episode, butโฆ
Iโm sorry WHAT THE FUCK!?
THIS IS BOBAโS SHOW! ARE THEY REALLY THAT LAZY THAT THEY CANโT WRITE ANY NEW SHIT FOR THIS CHARACTER, OR DO THEY REALLY NEED TO LEAN ON APPEARANCES OF OTHER CHARACTERS AND TEASINGS OF OTHER SHOWS TO MAKE THIS SHOW INTERESTING?! I THINK NOT? BOBA FUCKING FETT IS A SUCH A MYSTERIOUS CHARACTER WHO HAS BEEN A FAN FAVORITE FOR YEARS AND THIS IS THE FUCKING TREATMENT HE GETS? TO BE THE FUCKING GUEST STAR OF HIS OWN FUCKING SHOW!? IโM SORRY, BUT THIS HAS GONE TOO FUCKING FAR. SURE ITS FUN TO SEE ALL THOSE OTHER CHARACTERS BUT TO FOCUS ON THEM AND ONLY THEM AND NOT THE MAIN FUCKING CHARACTER IS PRETTY MESSED UP. LEAVE THAT DIN AND GROGU SHIT FOR MANDO SEASON 3 GOD DAMMIT! THIS IS BOBAโS SHOW, SO FOCUS ON HIS CHARACTER AND HIS STORY! NOT ONLY THAT BUT I WAITED THIS LONG TO SEE MY FAVORITE ACTOR, TEMUERA MORRISON, TO COME BACK TO STAR WARS AND THIS IS THE FUCKING TREATMENT HE GETS!?!!??! I AM FUMING THAT THEY TREATED THIS CHARACTER AND ACTOR LIKE THIS FOR TWO EPISODES IN A FUCKING ROW. THEY BETTER FUCKING HAVE TWO EPISODES OF ONLY BOBA IN MANDO SEASON 3 SO WEโRE EVEN. BECAUSE HOLY SHIT BOBA AND TEM DESERVE BETTER. AND NONE OF YOU GIVE ME THAT โitโs setting up for the long run and slow paced storytellingโ BULLSHIT FOR THIS. THESE LAST TWO EPISODES WERE JUST NOT IT FOR ME. SEASON 2 IS NOT CONFIRMED AND THIS SHOW LITERALLY HAS BOBA FETTโS NAME IN IT SO YEA IโM FUCKING PISSED. TBOBF HAD POTENTIAL BUT THESE LAST TWO EPISODES ARE MAKING ME LOOSE HOPE. GIVE BOBA AND TEMUERA THE RESPECT AND STORY THEY FUCKING DESERVE. EPISODE 2 REALLY FOOLED ME IN THINKING THEY WERE GONNA DO THAT FOR THEM. BUT HERE WE ARE. OMFG
Phew sorry, kinda lost it there lol
the book of boba maybe
what a disservice is disney doing to temuera morrison, the man really gave his heart and tried his best to make tbobf inclusive, different and so deep from other sw media, and the producers just gave him the middle finger in the last 2 chapters and made him a background character in his own show, it's insulting
Iโm not sure why everyone seems to just want to praise Bryce Dallas Howard or Dave Filoni for โGetting Star Warsโ when Steph Green, director of Episode 2 of The Book of Boba Fett, the only episode that actually wanted to take a look at Boba Fett as a character, the only episode that actually DEVELOPED Boba Fett as a nuanced character, the only episode that paid homage to and respected what Temuera Morrison personally brings to the character as an Indigenous Mฤori man, is RIGHT THERE.
I want more Steph Green.
tem morrison: my character has too many lines, he needs to be more mysterious. can we cut some of my dialogue to fix this?
jon favreau: hmmm, let me think about that
jon favreau: *cuts boba out of his own show so he doesnโt have lines anymore*
Once again, an amazing episode of The Mandalorian. The references? Wonderful. The story-telling? Brilliant. The characters? Great.
But once again, in his own limited show, Boba Fett was sidelined. On screen for all of thirty seconds, said not a single word, and was promptly forgotten about.
I know this is supposed to be The Mandalorian 2.5, but itโs called The Book of Boba Fett for a reason, and a character as iconic and loved as Boba shouldnโt have to be sidelined yet again in his own showโespecially when fans have waited decades for Boba content.
Honestly, the only ones who seem to give a single toss about this show and the characters are Tem and Ming-Na. This is not fair to them, and itโs not fair to the fans.
Disney I am begging you, please stop pushing Boba aside. ๐ฉ
