I don't like they made him classy and good. The original Boba Fett always seemed he was going to kill you even if he wasn't. It also helped that his voice was raw as hell before they changed it.
I mean let's be fair to Temura, his voice is still raw as hell. But I agree, the book of Boba Fett feels like you're playing with your Boba Fett action figure as a kid but your mom's watching, so you can't make him do anything bad.
My understanding is even he didnt agree with them changing his character, I saw an interview where he felt in the Book of Boba Fett "he talks too much".
Honestly boba Fett is the kind of character that is too cool for his own show, he's a cameo character that is always a bad*ss that enters and leaves, he's not meant to stay.
As time went on during this show and his own spinoff, Boba Fett went from being one of the most feared fighters in history to being a guy who took his helmet off at every opportunity, and was constantly in need of someone to bail him out. Just pathetic what they did to this character.
I've never seen the show, but it sounds like they pulled a "Marvel" on him based on what you wrote. Thor - actor refuses to wear helmet because he didn't like how it made his hair look. Iron man - mask pops up like a Pezz dispenser every time he wants to say something funny. Caption America - just gave up wearing his inaccurately made mask after the first movie. Black Panther - has a nano switch on the back of his mask so he can make it disappear anytime he talks because of, um, reasons. Ant-Man - same as Ironman but hinges by the jaw. Spiderman - after one punch in the face, half his mask is gone, so he takes it off. Why aren't more people complaining about this? This is such crap, and it's nothing more than elevating the actor above the character. The only hero so far to not commit this unforgivable sin? Deadpool.
@@simonblack4203 No, it's actually far worse than you imagine. While it's true that they unnecessarily show the character's face outside of their helmet/mask, and follow the typical hollywood mistake, they completely change Fett's character as well. In his own show he becomes a yes man and has little to no agency. He agrees to do things that completely go against everything we've ever known about his character. It's honestly sad, like watching your grandparent slowly devolve into a different person from who you knew when they were younger because of dementia .
See, I don't get how they nailed him in S2 of Mando, but completely fumbled him in his own show, even painting him in the *opposite* manner there. Like, how??
@@frankyhorn2475 Not even though, the same guy who directed this episode directed the entirety of Bobf (minus the mando only episode) and the script was mainly written by Jon Favreau, so I honestly don’t know what happened lol.
@@bluebomber875 they pulled the George Lucas from the prequels but in the opposite direction. Everyone wanted to see Boba in clone wars era or maybe pre-during empire strikes back but post a new hope. But for some reason they set the whole show in post ROTJ where he's all old and over the "whole bounty hunter thing" and wants to be a man of the people. Literally why. We wanted to see him fuck shit up not retire lmao. I feel like it's like the prequels because many fans didn't like seeing Vader as a kid cause they wanted to see VADER and see him fuck shit up, not run around as a little slave kid lmfao Patton Oswald does a funny ass bit about this topic, you should check it out i highly recommend
yep. boba in mando season 2 is EXACTLY teh compelling character we wanted! a cold bastard who wouldn't hesitate to kill a child, was usually prepared for situations, but was also honorable enough to keep his word. he didn't WANT to harm grogu (as there wouldn't be any reason to), but getting back his armor was his one and only concern here. and because he and fennec failed to keep grogu safe as per their agreement, boba upheld his word to stay by din's side until he was safely returned. would have been nice if he fought on gideon's flagship and reunited with Luke, but it was still an awesome handling of the character.
I never got into the EU stuff, so he was just some bloke in an elephant head spaceship who eventually fell down a hole. So I actually enjoyed BOBF. It must be disheartening for his fans though, like how they made Luke a sanctimonious prig.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 see I can get that, there are just so many of us who had big dreams for how star wars could have been and now they're gone forever
@@hotrod4d That sounds like my generations reaction to the prequels! I'd really given up on any new Star Wars after seeing them. The Mandalorian and BoBF seemed to recapture the balance of drama and fun from the OT for me.
I always low key wanted boba’s response to “are you a mandalorian?” To be something like “no they stripped my father and I of the title but not our armour”
He'd have been well within his rights to claim he wasn't a mandalorian, but the Mandalore. It didn't used to be about a sword. Him fighting for the throne mightve made a nice side plot. Couldve kept him evil. And fun. And canonically consistent.
They should have had him speaking in quotes from elsewhere all through. He could tell someone that "You may fire when ready" He could call someone a scruffy nerf herder, and complain that he was going into Tosche station to pick up some power converters.
@@InfernosReaper Worse, the person that accidently activated Bobas jetpack was also blind and didn't know what he was swinging at, let alone who or what he hit.
I like that small, quick smirk when Din says he'd have to peel the armor off his corpse. Like he was just thinking of all the ways he could just dog on him before he got back on track.
This scene shows that boba didnt go soft from age, he was literally threatening the life of a child to get his armor back Then Book of Boba happened and he cant fight for himself anymore
I think weaving in a Lawrence of Arabia type of thing with the Tuskens would have been just awesome. As it is his time with the Tuskens could have been completely excised from the show and the story would have been the exact same.
It also helps being able to use one voice for actual thousands of "different" characters. But also, there'd be riots from Star Wars fans if we had clones with a different voice actor. Temuera has such a wonderfully unique voice and cadence that it'd be instantly recognizable I feel like if they ever changed it.
They needed to write the Boba who shows up to the fight with his armor back. The way he took out those troppers and transports was the best 2 minutes of Television EVER!!! 💯
bro combined 2 iconic lines together *i'm* [just] *a simple man trying to make* [my] *his way in the* [universe] *galaxy* *i'm a* [jedi], *like my father before me*
His answer to "are you Mandalorian?" Should have been yes. In Legends he actually was a real Mandalorian and Jango raised him to be one and he even ended up becoming the ruler of Mandalore after he eventually retired from being a Bounty Hunter Edit: to be more specific he retired from being a Bounty Hunter so that he could become Mandalore, he didn't just randomly become Mandalore after retiring
It wasn't his show, it was just an excuse from favrou to present the mandalorian 2.5, although robert's mini-spies cringed, everything written and planned came from favrou until he admitted it
@@marcosloayzamiranda9775 This version of Fett was in Clone Wars like 8 years ago, with Cad Bane confronting him and telling him he was being too nice. People seem to forget about the deleted scene. Filoni's had this in mind for years, it's nothing new.
@@corellioncrusaderproductio4679 The fool from 8 years ago had more character than this, and if I remember correctly, only filoni directed the famous episode 6 where neither fool comes out for more than 30 seconds because Ashoka's cameo was more important, so he wasn't even interested in his own plans before because in the end it was robert who led the confrontation and favrou wrote it that way.
Fett is an example of "less is more". Imagine if rather than rocking up and being like "gimme dat armour back" rather, the armour was stolen from them by some mercs, they chase them down to find them absolutely slaughtered, the armour gone, and slave 1 takes off. You don't even SEE Fett. You just know he's in the game and he's badder than the mercs who just gave them problems. The Book of Boba Fett would have been better if he wasn't the main character. It could have been someone trying to chase him down and following the chaos Fett leaves behind him, possibly with flashbacks? Fett works better as a force of nature rather than a person.
Believe it or not, this episode actually contradicts where Filoni left Fett. The Boba Fett show picks up right where his character was left. The last time Filoni used Boba Fett, his words were "This isn't their fight anymore. No more people are going to die. Or be locked up, or live in fear." I understand people wanted him to be a badass vader type character, but Dave Filoni changed that along time ago with the Clone Wars. So really, people don't dislike the show for "getting him wrong", they want the character to be something more than it was. They want something that upholds the public view of the character rather than what the writing built towards. Book of Boba Fett's portrayal is exactly what Dave Filoni has been trying to do for years now. To kill Cad Bane. Not to take his place as the most feared bounty hunter, but as a morally apt person. I'm not a huge fan of the direction they took him in either, but it's not new. Not by a long shot.
Well he's not really under the mando helmet for the majority of scenes you seen up to this point. Pedro himself said he was only in the scenes 30% of season 1 and 2.
He should have been the John Wick of star wars. He still could have moved from being the contractor to the boss. Being the contractor got him in the Sarlac pit but he could have done it in a ruthless anti hero way but still honourable that could have been his arc.
The gay space mopeds reminded me of the Scooty Puff Jr that Nibbler gave to Fry in Futurama. Only Fry on the Scooty Puff Jr was cooler than all of those reject weirdos combined.
Boba went from the badass Vader had to tell “no disintegrations” to sparing Gamorrean guards telling them to “Wuhk fo me” and befriending scooter gangs. 😵💫
Boba got older, wiser, more weary, and probably looking to make a change. Then he tried being a lord and realized it wasn’t for him, so back to bounty hunting
We all wanted the Boba Fett we saw in that episode to be at that level of bad ass and brutality in his show. Boba Fett made thounsands fear his name across the Galaxy, even Darth Vader himself respected his presence.
His show was a huge turning point for me. Being hyped for this Boba to get what we got in BoBF made me really jaded against the Mando-verse. Like I have started not liking any of it as a whole
@@hudscp Crazy how basically the only reason Mando was made because Solo did horrible, otherwise it would’ve been Boba, maybe, unless he was already thought up before hand an stuff
@@edbaitedyou6955 I’m in the exact same boat man. I really thought they would pick up where they left off for Boba and they did a complete 180. I was hyped for everything Mando, especially after BoBF was announced. But now I begrudgingly watch it every week with my watch group
dude hearing Boba talk here brought so many memories watching the movies, playing the games, and reading the deeper lore of the sci fi series that infatuated me just to see it all squashed in his show with a weak story that was only fun to watch when Din Jarin was on screen just hurt my soul
It's like watching two different characters. I've heard there was a lot of interference from little Mrs kennedy which is why boba turned into mando season 1.5. Feloni was going to walk but they talked him into staying
They keep saying he’s being soft, well he is much older now, and he never acts in situations until he knows the full story, or is forced to act. Just how his character was written.
@@InfernosReaper it’s still consistent with what we have seen of his character in live action/animated form. I didn’t read the book so I have no idea about anything related to him in that.
The way he came down so cold, ready to kill without breaking a sweat, but equally willing to negotiate honestly and honorably..👌 His return was literally perfect- One of the few things canon did better than Legends. too bad his spin-off kinda ruined that
To Quote Boba Fett in the last time he was used. "No more people are going to die, or be locked up, or live in fear." Sounds exactly like the bounty hunter we knew. Fans just didn't like the direction it was going in. This has been Filoni's plan since Clone Wars.

My understanding is even he didnt agree with them changing his character, I saw an interview where he felt in the Book of Boba Fett "he talks too much".
@@JohnNiwa and is WAY too understanding and "hero to the people" for Tatooine.
Honestly boba Fett is the kind of character that is too cool for his own show, he's a cameo character that is always a bad*ss that enters and leaves, he's not meant to stay.
Dude. You might actually be spot on here.
Agreed. The mystique of Boba Fett was what made him scary AF. The show nerfed the hell out of that
Boba Fett- Appears, says a one liner and/or blasts someone, leaves, refuses to elaborate
@@josephperez2004 exactly what makes him awesome
Perfectly said.
As time went on during this show and his own spinoff, Boba Fett went from being one of the most feared fighters in history to being a guy who took his helmet off at every opportunity, and was constantly in need of someone to bail him out. Just pathetic what they did to this character.
Allegedly, that was in part due to Kennedy's influence... Allegedly.
Can we talk about what they did to Cad Bane? like wtf
I've never seen the show, but it sounds like they pulled a "Marvel" on him based on what you wrote.
Thor - actor refuses to wear helmet because he didn't like how it made his hair look.
Iron man - mask pops up like a Pezz dispenser every time he wants to say something funny.
Caption America - just gave up wearing his inaccurately made mask after the first movie.
Black Panther - has a nano switch on the back of his mask so he can make it disappear anytime he talks because of, um, reasons.
Ant-Man - same as Ironman but hinges by the jaw.
Spiderman - after one punch in the face, half his mask is gone, so he takes it off.
Why aren't more people complaining about this?
This is such crap, and it's nothing more than elevating the actor above the character.
The only hero so far to not commit this unforgivable sin?
Deadpool.
@@simonblack4203 No, it's actually far worse than you imagine. While it's true that they unnecessarily show the character's face outside of their helmet/mask, and follow the typical hollywood mistake, they completely change Fett's character as well. In his own show he becomes a yes man and has little to no agency. He agrees to do things that completely go against everything we've ever known about his character. It's honestly sad, like watching your grandparent slowly devolve into a different person from who you knew when they were younger because of dementia .
@@futuza Sounds awful.
See, I don't get how they nailed him in S2 of Mando, but completely fumbled him in his own show, even painting him in the *opposite* manner there.
Like, how??

MANDALORIAN gets Boba Fett treatment on season 3 of MANDALORIAN! 😅
@@frankyhorn2475 Not even though, the same guy who directed this episode directed the entirety of Bobf (minus the mando only episode) and the script was mainly written by Jon Favreau, so I honestly don’t know what happened lol.
@@bluebomber875 they pulled the George Lucas from the prequels but in the opposite direction. Everyone wanted to see Boba in clone wars era or maybe pre-during empire strikes back but post a new hope. But for some reason they set the whole show in post ROTJ where he's all old and over the "whole bounty hunter thing" and wants to be a man of the people. Literally why. We wanted to see him fuck shit up not retire lmao. I feel like it's like the prequels because many fans didn't like seeing Vader as a kid cause they wanted to see VADER and see him fuck shit up, not run around as a little slave kid lmfao Patton Oswald does a funny ass bit about this topic, you should check it out i highly recommend
Kathleen Kennedy.. maybe
“I’m just a simple man making his way through the galaxy”
Dude felt dangerous in Mandalorian, was so neutered for BOBF 😢
yep. boba in mando season 2 is EXACTLY teh compelling character we wanted! a cold bastard who wouldn't hesitate to kill a child, was usually prepared for situations, but was also honorable enough to keep his word. he didn't WANT to harm grogu (as there wouldn't be any reason to), but getting back his armor was his one and only concern here. and because he and fennec failed to keep grogu safe as per their agreement, boba upheld his word to stay by din's side until he was safely returned. would have been nice if he fought on gideon's flagship and reunited with Luke, but it was still an awesome handling of the character.
For real, boba Fett was ruthless in the beginning then lost everything we hoped for
I never got into the EU stuff, so he was just some bloke in an elephant head spaceship who eventually fell down a hole. So I actually enjoyed BOBF.
It must be disheartening for his fans though, like how they made Luke a sanctimonious prig.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 it was the same for me, but watching him in this episode of mando made him terrible in book of boba fett
@@zacmumblethunder7466 see I can get that, there are just so many of us who had big dreams for how star wars could have been and now they're gone forever
@@zacmumblethunder7466 in the eu he has lots of bounty hunting stories and becomes the king of Mandalore lol
@@hotrod4d That sounds like my generations reaction to the prequels! I'd really given up on any new Star Wars after seeing them. The Mandalorian and BoBF seemed to recapture the balance of drama and fun from the OT for me.
The mandalorian S1 is what boba fett's show should have been
I always low key wanted boba’s response to “are you a mandalorian?” To be something like “no they stripped my father and I of the title but not our armour”
He'd have been well within his rights to claim he wasn't a mandalorian, but the Mandalore. It didn't used to be about a sword. Him fighting for the throne mightve made a nice side plot. Couldve kept him evil. And fun. And canonically consistent.
Yeah, I mean, he only killed like 3000 ppl on his own show. How soft
More Mandalorian than the people who stripped them of the name.
That is exactly the Way
@@DopeyDetectorwere those people threatening him and his group? Cause that doesn’t count as bad, evil, or anything close.
I'm a simple man finding his through way galaxy like my father before me
They should have had him speaking in quotes from elsewhere all through.
He could tell someone that "You may fire when ready"
He could call someone a scruffy nerf herder, and complain that he was going into Tosche station to pick up some power converters.

No, i think they buffed him for this scene and only this scene
nerfed a guy who ends up eaten alive for botching a simple jetpack jump .
@@rodhgaralto "Sith happens" 😂
@@rodhgaralto He didn't botch anything. It was even more embarrassing than that. Someone accidentally activated the pack on him.
@@InfernosReaper Worse, the person that accidently activated Bobas jetpack was also blind and didn't know what he was swinging at, let alone who or what he hit.
Always felt they should have left him alone after his appearances on mando. It was the perfect return arc!
Yeah, but they basically just made that show hastily as a slot filler due to scheduling issues or something.
I like that small, quick smirk when Din says he'd have to peel the armor off his corpse. Like he was just thinking of all the ways he could just dog on him before he got back on track.
"That beskar belongs to the Mandalorians."
"My father was a Mandalorian."
"Ah, okay. Go ahead."
Some great lines spoken in this scene. Love Bobs Fett.
Considering the actor's maori familiar background, Boba's charachter is so much badass
And in his own show he's a walking punching bag
This scene shows that boba didnt go soft from age, he was literally threatening the life of a child to get his armor back
Then Book of Boba happened and he cant fight for himself anymore
What a Awful versions of boba fett
soft fromage 😄
Bros entrance was cold.
But bros show was like cold soup😔
He was exactly as you’d have expected him to be in Mando S2. It was perfect.
They could of made him like "Unforgiven" or "The Outlaw Josey Whales," or even Django... but they Disney"fied" him.
could have*
Like a bantha!
I think weaving in a Lawrence of Arabia type of thing with the Tuskens would have been just awesome. As it is his time with the Tuskens could have been completely excised from the show and the story would have been the exact same.
Django fett haha
He's a Disney Princess now
(In Disney SW, not actual SW)
the background music sounds like african animal ambience
blends in so well with the mood and setting
Like seriously he was such a badass here. But in his show week
This man threatened to kill a child if he won't get what he came for and they actually turned him into a goody two shoes mayor.
A crime lord who's opposed to all forms of crime. *stupidest thing ever.
Yeah, *somehow* the guy who just murdered the crap out of Bib Fortuna right in the middle of his own HQ became an incompetent joke.
He is such a good actor
I can testify that I am not how I’m represented in my own show
I am sorry.
just admit you're a tired old man now...
I love Temuera Morrison.
Disney did him dirty, even Temuera knew the way Boba was written in bobf was out of character for fk sake...
@@webbedshadow2601 sad he was forced to commit to the role yet knew it wasn't true to form.
@@TheCullousus That must've been torture to him
@@BierBart12 yes as a fan I can only imagine.
for a man that wanted his armor so bad he sure didn't want to wear the helmet once he got it back.
I love that he’s the guy who did most of the voice over work for the clones in the original BattleFront 2 😌
Well if you already got him on payroll might as well keep using him
It also helps being able to use one voice for actual thousands of "different" characters. But also, there'd be riots from Star Wars fans if we had clones with a different voice actor. Temuera has such a wonderfully unique voice and cadence that it'd be instantly recognizable I feel like if they ever changed it.
@@Mr_Jishyou think Disney care about star wars fans? Lol
He didn't voice the clones in the original Battlefront 2. He narrated the campaing though. He did voice the clones in the first Battlefront game.
He played Jango in the second movie. Interestingly he's the only person I know who's played a dad and that dad's son.
Boba's line takes me right back to Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. Great game.
I was just talking about it two days ago
U should've played force arena
They needed to write the Boba who shows up to the fight with his armor back. The way he took out those troppers and transports was the best 2 minutes of Television EVER!!! 💯
Dude had a sniper aiming at a baby and in his own show he was a buss
bro combined 2 iconic lines together
*i'm* [just] *a simple man trying to make* [my] *his way in the* [universe] *galaxy*
*i'm a* [jedi], *like my father before me*
His answer to "are you Mandalorian?" Should have been yes. In Legends he actually was a real Mandalorian and Jango raised him to be one and he even ended up becoming the ruler of Mandalore after he eventually retired from being a Bounty Hunter
Edit: to be more specific he retired from being a Bounty Hunter so that he could become Mandalore, he didn't just randomly become Mandalore after retiring
I kind of like them just calling back to being a simple man. At this point he's well retired and just wants to live his life
@BoBnfishy but he's literally like 38, not old enough to be retired unless he's becoming Mandalore
Unfortunately Disney decided to make legends its own thing which I despise them for
This was peak Boba Fett. His show ruined him.
It wasn't his show, it was just an excuse from favrou to present the mandalorian 2.5, although robert's mini-spies cringed, everything written and planned came from favrou until he admitted it
Nah, legends Boba Fett was even better.
@@marcosloayzamiranda9775 This version of Fett was in Clone Wars like 8 years ago, with Cad Bane confronting him and telling him he was being too nice. People seem to forget about the deleted scene. Filoni's had this in mind for years, it's nothing new.
@@corellioncrusaderproductio4679 The fool from 8 years ago had more character than this, and if I remember correctly, only filoni directed the famous episode 6 where neither fool comes out for more than 30 seconds because Ashoka's cameo was more important, so he wasn't even interested in his own plans before because in the end it was robert who led the confrontation and favrou wrote it that way.
Bane to Batman : victory has defeated you!
boba honestly was badass in this show
“I intend to rule with respect.” Quote from the famous bounty Hunter himself.
Fett should have been cameos. Having his own show that makes him a warlord takes away from the legends of him being the best bounty hunter.
Fett is an example of "less is more". Imagine if rather than rocking up and being like "gimme dat armour back" rather, the armour was stolen from them by some mercs, they chase them down to find them absolutely slaughtered, the armour gone, and slave 1 takes off. You don't even SEE Fett. You just know he's in the game and he's badder than the mercs who just gave them problems.
The Book of Boba Fett would have been better if he wasn't the main character. It could have been someone trying to chase him down and following the chaos Fett leaves behind him, possibly with flashbacks?
Fett works better as a force of nature rather than a person.
Ah how great he was in this episode. How did it go so wrong so quickly?
A big ass woke ass feminist!
Shitty directors 😮
Believe it or not, this episode actually contradicts where Filoni left Fett. The Boba Fett show picks up right where his character was left. The last time Filoni used Boba Fett, his words were "This isn't their fight anymore. No more people are going to die. Or be locked up, or live in fear." I understand people wanted him to be a badass vader type character, but Dave Filoni changed that along time ago with the Clone Wars.
So really, people don't dislike the show for "getting him wrong", they want the character to be something more than it was. They want something that upholds the public view of the character rather than what the writing built towards. Book of Boba Fett's portrayal is exactly what Dave Filoni has been trying to do for years now. To kill Cad Bane. Not to take his place as the most feared bounty hunter, but as a morally apt person.
I'm not a huge fan of the direction they took him in either, but it's not new. Not by a long shot.
I like how he mentions that he has a sharpshooter, but then is literally wearing bescar(or however you spell it) and could survive it
Last of the giga-clones R.I.P. brothers
He was a personal clone of the original human the clones were made from
Kix from the 501st got frozen in a stasis chamber until the sequel era
@@bigbrainedSteve And then that storyline went nowhere.
Still crazy that Pedro pascal can portray pyshcial emotion behind a helmet, he looks so cautions and worries despite being under the lid
Well he's not really under the mando helmet for the majority of scenes you seen up to this point. Pedro himself said he was only in the scenes 30% of season 1 and 2.
@@TIB1973Correct, normally he's physically played by stuntmen. Pedro mostly just does the voice.
That's your imagination doing the acting for him.
He's not really behind the maak most times. Any physicality you detect is mostly in your head.
In this scene, it's clear he studied Clint Eastwood's body movements and posture from his westerns; they're identical.
Love how they made Boba's armor fit his budda belly. I know he couldn't help if as age brings wisdom and weight gain.
Pedro pascal is always saving kids and bringing them places they need to go. What’s a good dude
True, Just like with that black kid in equaliser 2..saving him from being trapped in Denzel Washingtons house
Imagine having to wish for a character to just be himself…
Hearing boba fett babble on about his armor is like all my worst fears about popular star wars coming true
He should have been the John Wick of star wars. He still could have moved from being the contractor to the boss. Being the contractor got him in the Sarlac pit but he could have done it in a ruthless anti hero way but still honourable that could have been his arc.
If Both Boba Fet and Mando were the leaders of the new league of Mandalor
Kinda gay to habe to men who have 0 connections to rule Wierd.

How do they fucked up the book of boba fett as hard as they did. I'm still speechless 😢
Mandalorian: “I give my allegiance to no one”
Book of boba fett: I give my allegiance to a gang of gender fluid kids on colorful space mopeds
The gay space mopeds reminded me of the Scooty Puff Jr that Nibbler gave to Fry in Futurama. Only Fry on the Scooty Puff Jr was cooler than all of those reject weirdos combined.

Nah man, when you finally get to see him in his armor was the coldest fucking moment in cinematic history.
Boba went from the badass Vader had to tell “no disintegrations” to sparing Gamorrean guards telling them to “Wuhk fo me” and befriending scooter gangs. 😵💫
Boba got older, wiser, more weary, and probably looking to make a change.
Then he tried being a lord and realized it wasn’t for him, so back to bounty hunting
You made him sound like a fallen kingpin who became a methhead. 😂😂😂😂
Those ridiculous looking cyborgs and their goofy ass Vespas.
We all wanted the Boba Fett we saw in that episode to be at that level of bad ass and brutality in his show.
Boba Fett made thounsands fear his name across the Galaxy, even Darth Vader himself respected his presence.
Even if your very isolated I can not imagine how Boba's face is not recognizable.
The main difference between the Mandalorian and Boba Fett show was that Disney didn't meddle in the Mandalorian.
Dude, Disney made The Mandalorian.
Boba is literally the clone of his dad, full on badass. Why did they make him such a wet wipe?
Being a clone doesn't give you the same personality. It's a completely different person who just LOOKS like the other because of genetics.
@@mykillmetal1814 No it's the exact same person just with different memories and experiences
@@MtnMania Genetically, yes. That's what I said. Literally, no. They're two separate entities.

"My sharpshooter will knock you off your feet but won't kill you since nothing can get through Mandalorian armor lol"
This had me looking forward to his show, oh man, INSANE how Disney ruined Boba
His show was a huge turning point for me. Being hyped for this Boba to get what we got in BoBF made me really jaded against the Mando-verse. Like I have started not liking any of it as a whole
@@hudscp Crazy how basically the only reason Mando was made because Solo did horrible, otherwise it would’ve been Boba, maybe, unless he was already thought up before hand an stuff
@@hudscp it made it hard for me to watch all future Star Wars content tbh, cause he was my favorite character
@@edbaitedyou6955 I’m in the exact same boat man. I really thought they would pick up where they left off for Boba and they did a complete 180. I was hyped for everything Mando, especially after BoBF was announced. But now I begrudgingly watch it every week with my watch group
Insane but predictable.
“I don’t want my armour… I want your armour”- Not Boba Fett
dude hearing Boba talk here brought so many memories watching the movies, playing the games, and reading the deeper lore of the sci fi series that infatuated me just to see it all squashed in his show with a weak story that was only fun to watch when Din Jarin was on screen just hurt my soul
“Are you Jedi?”
“Do I LOOK LIKE JEDI?”
Honestly, the robe makes it ambiguous if you didn't know otherwise
I mean yeah kinda 🤷♂️
He...kinda looks like a Jedi, yeah
Mando has only ever seen 1 other Jedi. He has no idea how a Jedi is supposed to look
Boba Fett pre-Disney: had about 5 lines, 100% awesome
Boba Fett post-Disney: at this point I’m more afraid of Mickey Mouse
"im a jedi, like my father before me"
"... though the Galaxy, like my father before me"
It's like watching two different characters. I've heard there was a lot of interference from little Mrs kennedy which is why boba turned into mando season 1.5. Feloni was going to walk but they talked him into staying
This scene alone is what makes those early mando episodes so awesome.
They keep saying he’s being soft, well he is much older now, and he never acts in situations until he knows the full story, or is forced to act. Just how his character was written.
This is sandwiched somewhere inbetween when Book of Bob A. Fett starts and when it ends. At no point in *that* series does he act like he does here.
@@InfernosReaper it’s still consistent with what we have seen of his character in live action/animated form. I didn’t read the book so I have no idea about anything related to him in that.
Best part of Book of BF was when BF was not in the episode 😂 just because they did him so dirty, literally a snooze fest til Mando shows up.
The way he came down so cold, ready to kill without breaking a sweat, but equally willing to negotiate honestly and honorably..👌
His return was literally perfect-
One of the few things canon did better than Legends.
too bad his spin-off kinda ruined that
He went from awesome in this show to dumb in his own. Writing makes such a difference...
You cut it right before the best line where Boba informs the Mando that it's not pointing at him, but targeting Grogu.
Also cut the part where boba pussies out and calls for a truce cause mando pulls out the micro missiles
This was the gritty bounty hunter we knew...not the goofy grinner we got in BoBF
To Quote Boba Fett in the last time he was used. "No more people are going to die, or be locked up, or live in fear."
Sounds exactly like the bounty hunter we knew. Fans just didn't like the direction it was going in. This has been Filoni's plan since Clone Wars.
Fricking music made him seem like Jason Voorhees. That's the kind of new sheriff in town Tatooine needed.
The deadness in his eyes makes boba my favorite character
You mean the sniper I've had a drone on this entire time?
Don’t think it would matter.
The drone shoots the sniper.
"You mean that sniper?"
You mean the drone I rigged with explosives, which will go off as soon as the drone gets ready to fire ?
I like how he was tough for this one episode. Then became a side character in his own show
