Apparently Disney thought “slave 1” was not very kosher, so they changed the name of boba/jango Fetts iconic ship to “Boba Fett starship” because the word “slave” is a very bad word…. Thanks Disney
It could have been The Good, The Bad and The Ugly in space. Boba is Blondie, Cad Bane is Angel Eyes, the wookie is Tuco. They chase each other across the galaxy to the biggest bounty. Allying with and betraying each other to gain the advantage. Even that ending theme would have fit while Boba flew off in Slave 1 leaving Krrsantan with a rope around his neck.
Instead we got Fenec Shand and a bunch of human muppets.
Boba Fett in Mando Season 2: “I work for no one, only myself. I will take up jobs that suit my own interests.” Boba Fett in his own doggone show: “nooooo don’t hurt my sand-people! Noooo don’t hurt my citizens! All I want is to be loved and respected by the people of Tatooine!”
Fennec is so non-threatening, none of her punches or kicks have weight, she looks like a soccer mom, is 150cm tall, do you really expect me to believe she does all the work for the baddest bounty hunter in the galaxy?
Pity Boba Fett's actual debut was tainted by association with the Holiday Special, because he had more lines and screentime in it than the entire OT combined, and it showed how he's actually pretty good at getting people to trust and respect him.
The wookie attacked the trandoshians because they ere well known for killing and torturing wookies for joy, thats part of the meta. Besides that, I totally agree with you, it was a pitty see my favourite character displayed as a senile mayor of crimetown...
One time, I fell from one of those pull-up bars you hang in a doorway. I was 27 and extremely fit and well built, hit the gym on an almost daily basis. I fell straight on my back from about 2 meters high and was out cold for nearly 4 minutes. Couldn't breathe, and my back felt like it had snapped in every bone. Mando is dead. No two ways about it.
Darth Maul makes a completely new lower body out of junk yard scraps: “NOW THIS IS INNOVATION” Fennec gets a new stomach from a trained professional: “they really think they can just replace body parts with machines? Lame.”
Dude Imagine if we got a good Boba Fett show. A show about him reestablishing himself as an amazing bounty hunter in the galaxy after escaping the pit. We could see him go to different, colorful planets and hunt interesting characters. Then, over the course of the season, Cad Bane starts to hear of his exploits and feels threatened as when Boba left, he became the new greatest bounty hunter. Then we start to Boba get hunted as the bounty. Eventually he faces down Cad Bane and they have a duel. Boom, perfect show.
I genuinely thought Boba Fett was between fine and pretty good. It felt like it was leading to a big pay off... Then the modders happened... Then the terrible Choreography for the 2nd half of the season happened... And Boba Fett became a side-character in his own show thanks to Mando for some reason taking the spot-light for 2 whole episodes.
Carrie Fisher said what we were all thinking about Rian Johnson and she was not wrong about him. RIP Carrie for you were a firecracker back in the day and have earned your rest.
