(Mild-Spoilery Review) Saw Book of Boba Fett Ep1 last night and found it to be alright enough I guess, but nothing to write home about. For a Boba Fett series directed by Rodriguez in episode 1, the same director who directed Fett's action packed episode in The Mandalorian S2, I kind of found the one big action scene to be underwhelming. For one, why was both Fett and Shand unarmed with blasters going into Mos Espa anyway? Also, when they were blocked into that circle, I kept screaming at my TV "DUDE, use your frickin jet pack!!!!!". The choreography of how it played out just didn't make much sense at all, and the Fett we saw in Mando S2 would have wasted all those dudes in a second in my mind. Anyway, maybe it has something to do with Fett's seeming health issues or whatever. Anyway, its not that big of a deal and I can forgive the nonsensical action for a single episode. It is what it is. I will say I did love finally seeing the Gamorrean Guards finally get their chance to kick some butt and not just be some fat pigs in the corner. The return of the torture droid 8B8 and the Max Rebo band from Return of the Jedi was pretty cool too. So anyway, did I love the episode? Not exactly, but I guess it was good enough. Good enough to be intrigued by where we go from here.
