A long time ago, in a galaxy far away. Actually, it all started with that sentence. And from where I’m sitting right now, I can see how accurate this entrance is. I really met Star Wars a long time ago. That’s one of the turning points of my life, when an entire universe surrounds you and you find yourself part of a different place with the blend of time. At least for me, meeting and growing up with Star Wars was exactly that. Of course, in Star Wars, as in life, ups and downs, love and hatred intertwined. At the end of the day, in all this emotional turmoil, I’m still writing this after a show I watched with weird noises like the kid from 20 years ago.
From a purely film perspective, it wasn’t possible to put too much meaning into Boba Fett. Though pretty charismatic in appearance, boba and I, who had a shortage of lines, got close because of the extended universe of the old one they now call Legends. Boba became a much more interesting character when she and Jango talked about her past coming into play. We filled a lot of space with his comeback on The Mandalorian and his own series, which ended today. But The Book of Boba Fett is certainly not just a Boba Fett series, it’s more like a Mandalorian interim season than Boba, but it doesn’t take much away from this series, but rather leads to great moments for Star Wars. Without spoiling the surprises of the series, let’s take a look at this lovely Seven-part Star Wars adventure, with as little impact as possible on the grandeur and fan service of the last two episodes;
Hello I Am Boba Fett
When it comes to Tatooine, country music always starts playing in my head. I don’t care if Johnny Cash shows up at a place with his harmonica in his mouth. While this Western atmosphere may be a bit of a stretch in places other than Tatooine in Star Wars, the huge desert sea is perfect for that atmosphere. For someone like Boba Fett, who’s going to have the redemption period of her life, it’s a no-go-to for tatooine atmosphere. With Dave Filoni at the helm of the show, it was obvious we wouldn’t have any trouble with that either. Still, the first episodes of the show were unnecessarily buried by some fans. What was meant to be done was to introduce Boba to the audience following Star Wars through the film and the Mandalorian series and to explain how she survived after that famous Sarlac pit. Of course, there are reasonable criticisms, such as the needless extension of these places, but we also had to capture Boba Fett’s character development from somewhere.
When the second season of The Mandalorian ended, we left Boba in a state of disrepair. But everyone who knew Tatooine knew it wasn’t going to be easy to get here. It was almost impossible to get outer rim’s crime center under one punch. While watching Boba take back the city, much of the scenes were retrospective. Boba, who crossed paths with the Tuskens after the Sarlacc pit, had the chance to be alone with him for the first time since Jango’s death, perhaps while questioning his life and decisions. It was nice to have all this emotional confusion with retrospective scenes, but the Tatooine storyline that kept flowing through the front tara was also a little stray. Eventually, after four episodes, Boba Fett would evolve into a whole new path.
Westernpunk?!
After being so immersed in Tatooine’s distinctive Western atmosphere, I suddenly had a sudden and ugly awakening with the third episode. Those plentiful characters, who seem to have ripped out of Cyberpunk, undermined the atmosphere. Tatooine’s back alleys, the struggle for survival, I began to be unintentionally isolated from the subject as I tried to explain it. Fortunately, the stories of these characters were not studied in depth, so we began to return to our essence. Friends of this mode continued to exist alongside Boba as valuable companions. The support of these friends was important because the big storm clouds were beginning to hover over Tatooine, and Boba had a planet to protect.
We were predicting that we would see something very special in the remaining three episodes, four of them after the episode. When even money is worthless, good deeds come into play. There would be a great struggle against the Pyke syndicate, which was pursuing Tatooine’s spice, along with the corruption of Tatooine’s domestic policy. When boba says the attacks are a discussion of who will inherit the post-Hutt city, it now seems like a cliché to unite in the face of a common enemy. Of course, I didn’t know filoni had any other ideas about it before episode four. From this point on, we embarked on a completely different Star Wars adventure.
I didn’t know where to look at dawn because there were two suns
Boba Fett’s story begins to recruit for battle at some point, so side missions come into play, just like an RST game. Or Boba Fett’s story was a complete side mission, and we’re back on the main mission. The second possibility seems more plausible because the last three episodes of the series have progressed into a Mandalorian Season 2.5. When dear Baby Yoda (I still refuse to call you Grogu) went on a long journey to study Jedi with Luke Skywalker, we left Mando alone. However, it is unlikely that a father will forget his son, and the waterfall of emotion began to flow in the process from Boba to Mando.
Perhaps involved in the story with one of the most epic entries in history, Mando dragged us after him while dealing with his own troubles. Now that Darksaber owns it, Din Djarin, who has placed much greater responsibilities on his back, always had Little Yoda in mind. It didn’t take long for The Religion and Boba, who came out of the path they knew best, to find their own and go out of their way with a sense of belonging to a place again, crossed paths with Religion. During this time, the presence of a wonderful detail that took us to the skies of Naboo managed to warm the heart of all Star Wars fans, including me.
Our Way Is Dave Filoni
Mando and Boba, who have always been faithful to their good deeds because of the way they went, had a very small problem to solve before they could be fully reunited. Thanks to Mando, who traveled to faraway lands with his new ship, we watched a sixth episode that will perhaps go down in Star Wars history. In fact, I don’t think there’s ever been anything that feels so “Star Wars” since the original trilogy, including all the Mandalorian episodes. As exciting as I’d like to say, watching episode six without any influence is the best gift a Star Wars fan can give themselves. So if you’ve come all the way down here and haven’t seen the last two episodes yet, I suggest you drop everything and reverse course.
After an epic sixth episode, with the unbearable weight of waiting, we began to wait for an even more epic finale. Dave Filoni, the director of episode six, may have made a somewhat conundrum decision by handing over the seat to Robert Rodriguez in the finale. Episode six caused minor heart attacks for Star Wars with too many details other than Boba’s story. When we got to the final, we finally managed to see Boba Fett in action. Like when a man is cornered when he’s most dangerous, we’ve seen again why Boba Fett, whom we’ve always seen with weaknesses and her return to life, has been one of the most fearsome bounty hunters in the universe all these years. Of course, in some ways the final may not have satisfied or disappointed people, and I understand the reasons for that relatively. But when I put the last three chapters together from my window, there was a hearty ending to a series called Book of Boba Fett. After The Mandalorian Season 2.5, the path to 3 was also slightly different than thought.
Eventually, with the final episode of In the Name of Honor, Boba Fett decided to live up to her book in her own way. In the first episodes, boba and I learned about Boba’s journey of survival and development, and then we had some beautiful nostalgia from the most beloved periods of the Star Wars complex. The gap between Episode 6-7, which begins with Mandalorian, continues to be filled in an increasingly high quality way. I wish the next generation of weird trilogies would somehow disappear so we could move on to a whole new Star Wars path based on the character foundations laid here. Under dave filoni’s leadership, we still have a lot of planets to explore. Finally, you have to give a point to all seven episodes by custom, although the last two wonderful episodes and the satisfying finale impressed me, the Tusken/Boba stories at first may not attract everyone, but they have managed to make me wonder. That’s why The Book of Boba Fett seems to fit 8/10 according to my book.
