The Book of Boba Fett

 

                One of the most iconic bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe has finally got his own TV series and it’s about damn time, as you've probably notice I finally finished the first season of The Book of Boba Fett, and I must say this was worth the wait. Staring Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett and Ming-Na Wen as the bad ass Fennec Shand. When I was a kid worshiping Star Wars in my spare time there were two characters I always thought were the coolest, the first was obviously Darth Vader and the other was Boba Fett, and sure why Boba Fett was so cool was that you didn't know anything about the guy other than the fact that he looked like a space cowboy with a lot of cool gadgets and whenever I go to a toy store if I couldn't get a Darth Vader action figure, a Boba Fett action figure would be on my list. And when Episode II came out along with a short backstory to Boba Fett's past, I thought it was cool and very excited at the same time also back when PlayStation 2 was a thing Star Wars Bounty Hunter was my go-to game, that I couldn't stop playing for months. Then along with the hit TV series of The Mandalorian came out bringing Boba Fett back plus Temurera Morrison reprising his role of that character I was just overjoyed on was season 2 had to offer, then along came The Book of Boba Fett for which I wanted to watch so badly until now. So, there's no surprise that I'm one of those Star Wars fans that loved Boba Fett so let’s dive deep into the show.

               Left for Dead on the sands of Tatooine Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) becomes reeducated by the Tusken Raiders on how to survive on learns new means to life. The show itself takes place between the events of how Boba Fett escapes the Scarlacc Pitt too after the conclusion of The Mandalorian season 2, where Boba is now the new Daimyo of Jabba's Palace on Tatooine were starting out as the new boss is one thing being a respectful ruler, you must fight to reclaim what is rightfully yours.

              As a fan of Boba Fett, I didn't need a whole lot of convincing in terms of wanting to watch this show, I always thought he was the coolest especially when I first saw Temuera Morrison re don the Boba Fett costume and saw what he brought to the table in season 2 of The Mandalorian was just amazing especially when the new Mando becomes allies with Boba is even cooler. What makes this show great is that, there's a lot of questions that seemed a mystery for quite a long time and now we get answered for obvious example Fett escaping the Pitt, but most importantly what has he been doing after the events of Return of the Jedi and during the seasons of The Mandalorian, for which as a fan that gives some great closure though sure I'll admit I've read some of the books that included Boba Fett, but this is the television there's many differences in looking for answer's in writing then on the screen and I liked the way both Favreau and Dave Filoni were able to bring Fett's new adventures to life. I always liked Temuera Morrison as Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones when I was first introduced to him along with Star Wars Bounty Hunter, but now as a fan he will always be Boba Fett and sure the late Jeromy Bulloch will always be the catalyst of the creation for the legendary bounty hunter, but Morrison is really what give Fett is identity and what he truly is and what he incorporates from his own heritage into Boba Fett's character is even more awesome moreover love the fact that we get to see a more viscous Fett then we've been seeing in the Original Trilogy. Ming-Na Wen is also amazing as Fennec Shand, the fact that her character started off as just a simple character that got killed off in the first season then brought back in season two is even special and what Wen brings to the table is even more special, and I know this is my Star Wars nerdish talking but I like her better as Shand then her other character in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Speaking of Ming-Na Wen I now have the craving to go back and re watch Street Fighter for some reason. There not a whole lot to say about Jon Favreau other than I trust him more to run Star Wars than Kathleen Kennedy and the same goes to Dave Filoni so I'll just leave it at that, but I can't leave this review without giving some recognition to some great talents like Robert Rodriguez who is also a big fan of Boba Fett but really was one of the few people that understood the greatness to the former bounty hunter. Also, I'm a big fan of some of his films he did so a lot of respect goes to Rodriguez, Bryce Dallas Howard I'm starting to respect more as a director for many reasons she really shines more in working with the actors and shooting the action sequences. Ludwig Goransson I have to give shout out because his score for the show is simply outstanding, Goransson is most famous for his work in The Mandalorian and did some music work for Tenet, anyway what he does with Boba Fett's theme I can't stop listening to it I just love how he blends with a lot of western music but also with some medieval music as well and this guy is up there with both Han Zimmer and the legendary composer John Williams and I hope he continues with his career in the distant future. I've said it before if you’re a Star Wars fan, Disney + is hands down the only reasons to purchase the app itself, besides the other stuff it includes I would always use the app for Star Wars use only the other stuff I'm not always interested, so if you loved the character of Boba Fett I would highly recommend watching the show, though some people might tell you differently I still love the show because I get more stories of the former legendary Bounty Hunter.
