The Book of Boba Fett started off really slowly. I just don’t think an older Boba Fett is all that interesting a character. The return of the Mandalorian breathed a ton of life into the series. Great episode. So many excellent parts.

@kaa It has been the only episode worth watching, in my opinion. I too think Boba Fett has always been lame. I was hoping they would make the character cooler and more interesting. He doesn’t have a strong motivation to be doing what he is doing.

@mjdescy agreed. Mando thought is something else :).

@frostedechoes I agree, but it's a story I'm not interested in. Tatooine (in Episode IV) was supposed to be unimportant, out of the way, and a dead end for those who live on it, not the epicenter of the entire galaxy. I was not impressed that it was Anakin's home planet in Episode I or Rei's home planet in Episode VII (though that was basically a remake of the first Star Wars, which was also disappointing). The prequels and Episodes VII and IV were narratively terrible, but at least they introduced a bunch of new planets with cool stuff on them. The focus on Tatooine seems to be more about keeping the production budget reasonable than in service of telling a coherent or compelling story.

@kaa Mando is great. I love all the spaghetti western tropes. The not taking off the helmet thing is stupid, though, in my opinion.
