I'm a Star Trek guy but I loved it. Great show. The Sopranos in space. And Bobba reminds me of the Pharaoh Yul Brynner. Great screen presence
Rey in rise of skywalker reminded me of Andrew Garfield in TASM2
Edit:Just to be clear I mean a good actor just with really bad writing
I mean… WHAT CHARACTER IS THERE TO RUIN, HERE???
Just hear me out. Look at the original trilogy, only. And tell me what is so magnificent about Boba Fett. He is one of several bounty hunters, who are assigned to find some people, and are not allowed to kill any of them. He manages to find them, follows themand gets his trophy. And then he goes out in the most Looney Toon-styled cartoon way you can possibly think of. Boba is overrated, and always has been
Meh I still liked it
After watching The Batman, I can understand why Disney is afriad but it doesn't make it right. Some people did not like the Batman movie because it was very dark and realistic. They didnt agree with the tone of the movie so they considered it bad. Thankfully, the majority who saw the movie know that it was quite fitting to the Batman's character. I wish Disney was bold enough to set a darker tone because Boba Fett was definitely the character to do it with.
I'd love to see collicoid droids used in modern Star Wars. That aspect alone made this concept great.
damn, disney should hire you as the writer for the kenobi series, im so worried that thay are going to ruin obi-wan as thay did with boba………..
NO! REY HAS A CHARACTER FLAW!
she feels pain
31:43 Boba Fett and ahsoka tano already know eachother so I imagine there are other ways that she would know who he is.
Disney forgot that in real life not everyone is super nice, kind and good to everyone
It's quite simple really. Every human being has flaws and they like storytelling so they can project themselves into the story, relate to the characters and can be inspired. If the character has no flaws they can't relate and they lose interest in the story.
You should write fanfiction. I would read it
Someone please make the show he described! Please! That was so much better than what we got it isn't even comparable. Well done!
Loved the video! Small problem with the (dope as shit) fanfiction towards the end. Ahsoka is a jedi, meaning she doesn’t want emotional attachments and stuff. She makes a point of it in that grogu training episode.
I liked the show but it could have been much better
WOW.
Ahsoka and Boba wasn't an interaction i thought much about but it's so FUCKING obvious. It's like we all, including the writers completely forgot that she is fought alongside clones and Boba is a clone. My mind is just BLOWN AWAY.
With Loki at least it feelt to me like the people in the writers' room really wanted to go that antihero route and did what they could with Disney's restraints. But with Boba Fett they didn't even try.
I'm so scared they are going to ruin Ahsoka as well.
