Another instance where I have no idea what the critics are thinking. This is every bit as good as Mandalorian. I think I even like it better. Lots of Godfather I and II themes and nods. Great alien character design.

Undeserving of all the bad reviews, especially considering the fact that only the first episode has aired. And while it may have been a little on the slow side, it was still enjoyable from this Star Wars fan's perspective.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Edit: And just like that, Episode 2 changed peoples minds. Too many people want instant gratification these days. It’s hard to rate an entire series based on one pilot episode that’s setting us up for the rest of the season. People here are complaining that it was boring. Were they just expecting hours long fight scenes? Character development, his background, how he escaped the events of Return of the Jedi, and setting up a new way of controlling Hutts criminal activities takes time, even Darth Maul didn’t get his criminal organization setup overnight. People wanting instant gratification over a developing story should look elsewhere or have patience. Expand

Finally we get to see the bad*ss Boba we imagined back when we were kids, and not someone who just stands around. Temura Morrison owns the role.

The Book of Boba Fett's first episode doesn't give much away regarding the bigger story but it promises a visceral and surprisingly brutal next five episodes.

Robert Rodriguez is also a great addition to the gang, bring his own spice.
A big Shout-out to Temuera Morrison, Ming-Na Wen and Jennifer Beals for their marvelous performances finely and perfectly integrated to the galaxy far far away!

Top notch Star Wars, tactful fan service but for the rare aesthetic choice.

The hate on this show imo is not merited since they are making a show that gives a focused look about a virtually silent movie character and spreading it across a series of episodes...I'm not sure people understand that. Its an optional inside entertaining view of the man behind the mask...right? Right.

I've been a fan of Star Wars since I was 4 and seen it in 1977.

The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett. I dig it.

If they keep the same creators and keep them working with good talent on each side of the lense, were in for some treats.

My only gripe is that for whatever reason, two episodes of 'The Mandalorian' were inexplicably shoehorned into an already short run of BoBF.

Por el resto, todo está la verdad es que muy bien, desde los guiños al desarrollo de personajes, los cruces con las otras series y momentos del universo, etc. Quizás le hubiera venido bien un capítulo adicional, porque me parece que el final es muy apresurado y no llega a ser muy justificado como sale todo, pero sigue siendo una historia sencilla (como Mandalorian) pero muy bien contada.

The show is incredible, spoiler, starting off with how Bobba got out of the Sarlacc pit. It is a little slow at the start but they are setting up a full, detailed story of Bobba and Tatooine. This takes time to do and mind you it is never boring. Expand

You can either accept that or just rage quit. This show, it's current rating here, has fallen victim to the same thing that happened to the live action Cowboy Bebop on Netflix. Fanbois, blinded by their nerd rage over changes in canon, knee-jerk give a low rating, as if that will change anything. If you open your mind and just accept the show for what it is, Boba Fett shines as a finely crafted series with a plot that ISN'T a mess, great action and great design. The same is true for Cowboy Bebop, but fools can't see past their indigence. If many want to "protest down-vote" the show, you don't know how BAD things CAN get. We need to support these show runners because they are getting many things right. Is it perfect, no. But IMHO there has been exactly ZERO perfect Star Wars media since the originals. So, it's about perspective. I for one quite enjoyed The Book of Boba Fett. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dave Filoni & Jon Favreau always come through in the end, and boy did they deliver! The Book of Boba Fett ties in perfectly following Season 2 of The Mandalorian. Some might say it’s basically Season 3 and I’m good with it. What I love about this series is that it gets better with each episode. And thank god for that because it starts off slow. Very slow. Which is odd considering each episode ranges from 30-50 min instead of a full hour. If we’re only getting 8 episodes, each episode should be at least an hour. That’s my one gripe is that it feels like Disney pinched every penny. But when this show finally takes off, it really takes off. The penultimate episode had me jumping out of my seat. Not going to spoil anything, but be ready for one hell of an entrance by another familiar face (and voice actor) from The Clone Wars. It’s a show about bounty hunters, after all. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. **Bit of spoilers!***

I can definitely see the criticism with certain parts of the show and the writing isn't quite as strong as other Star Wars shows (animated or otherwise). There was a certain point mid season that had the lamest chase scene I've ever seen (what were they thinking with those candy-colored mopeds?). However...before the season is over they bring on some really neat characters and fill in quite a bit of story from The Mandalorian. Growing up reading the books about the bounty hunters of the Star Wars universe, it always seemed like the perfect premise for a TV show. No Jedi, just the mercenaries. The Mandalorian definitely did a pretty good (arguably better) job of this concept, but Book of Boba Fett has enough to keep the ball in the air. For instance-Krrsantan might be my new favorite character. I had no idea who he was before this show, but they really took a cool idea from the comics and made him come to life. Same thing with Cad Bane showing up in the last few episodes. A fantastic character from the animated series' that you get to see in a live action show, I was so hyped when he showed up on screen. Fennec Shand also deserves a mention since she holds up a lot of the show. Temuera Morrison is, unfortunately, not a great actor at all. George Lucas picked him for Jango Fett and so now we're stuck with a version of Boba Fett that always sounds stilted and robotic. There is also another pretty weird story choice involving Luke Skywalker. They have a bit of a training montage with Grogu and it's a little cheesy and Luke kind of comes off as a creep rather than a zen master ("let me help you remember" uh...no thanks?). But as the dramatic cliffhanger he gives Grogu an ultimatum-continue to be friends with Mando or become a Jedi, because Jedi can't have emotional attachments. So basically, Luke learned nothing from his father's cautionary tale. The entire galaxy was enslaved because the Jedi council said Anakin couldn't be close with Padme. In the now-defunct expanded book universe, Luke realized this error and even gets married himself. Attachments are good for the Jedi. So this show is basically setting up the same Luke Skywalker who chooses to kill his nephew in his sleep because a he had a vision. They really want to stomp all over that original trilogy, don't they? At any rate, watch the show. Yeah, you won't like Boba Fett. Yeah, you'll think it's like "Dances with Wolves". Yeah, it's got a lot of poorly done effects and people in masks slapping each other. But watch it for Krrsantan. Watch it for Cad Bane. Watch it because it's The Mandalorian Season 2.5. I was glad I didn't give up on it!

That being said, I was veryBoba Fett has always been one of my favorite characters in the Star Wars universe, but he felt underutilized in the original movies despite having one of the coolest backstories and designs of any character. That being said, I was very excited for this new Boba Fett series coming out when it was first teased at the end of the second season of Mando. Unfortunately, this series is a very mixed bag in terms of story quality, CGI, and acting. Boba Fett's character has been more or less completely redone. Instead of the cold, calculating bounty hunter, he's turned into more of a wise old man figure who seeks to solve conflicts through diplomacy rather than blaster fire. This is executed in a less than impressive performance by Temuera Morrison who clearly does not fit the role of either of the personas I just talked about. Honestly, it feels like Morrison was trying his best to hold back his expressive personality. His performance felt natural in the prequels, as Jango was presented as this arrogant and deadly bounty hunter, but Boba's character in this series is the complete opposite. If it wasn't for the helmet, his mediocre performance would have been much more apparent. It doesn't help that the story flipflops back and forth between with story themes and events. You have these moments of retrospection suddenly shift to suspense out of no where. The acting of the other characters is a mixed bag too. Returning faces from Mando are still solid, but the new cast is either mediocre or just down right terrible. Don't even get me started on the Mods. God, wtf were they thinking with those characters. The cheesy action of Star Wars does not compliment the straight up goofy acting by some of the cast and it felt like I was watching some amateur fan movie with some of the scenes. The settings are very well made however, and a lot of references from older movies can be seen in this series which is welcome fan service for long time fans. Tatooine felt alive and not like some ghost town. Certain episodes in particular are also straight up fantastic, but those unfortunately are the ones where Boba Fett is not the main focus (and where the director changes). Overall, I would recommend watching it if you're a casual fan of Star Wars as it's fairly easy to dive into since there's little to know background knowledge of the series necessary outside of watching Mando. 6/10 Expand

It has however enjoyable moments and an excellent set up for Mandalorian season 3. Many expected this to be a show that deals with the crime underworld of Star Wars and Boba Fett being a badass. Both are untrue. Instead a lot of the show is set up for later, backstory is told to much, it feels like filler material and set up for Mandalorian season 3 instead of Book of Boba Fett. The best episode of the season has no Boba Fett in it as example. Boba Fett’s journey is interesting but nothing as awesome as he was in Mandalorian. I thought first he tricks everyone with kindness but it is genuine. This weakens him as character and bites him in the back. Sadly even the teaser at the end of Mandalorian season 2 was better than some episodes. I sound too negative as I already admit that this show has great moments and fan service. For example I like the return of many characters, Boba Fett’s new pet and character that trains it, the backstory how Boba became his stick (I am in the minority here if I read other reviews correct), the final battle and the set up. It is not bad if it would lead to more. I think the show has pacing problems and some episodes end without something mayor happening. While these are not awful the negative feelings accumulate and the questions “When does the good stuff happen?” and “Was Boba Fett always like this?” are in the room. Like I said the “Return of the Mandalorian” episode is a contrast and reminds you what is possible. They do more in this episode than in the 4 Boba Fett episodes before and succeed. I would rate these episode as 10/10 and for most it is in the 9-10/10 range. This weakens the other episodes too or better said the perception. The final episode is great and raises my rating a bit. However it changes not that Boba Fett is not in the top 5 characters in the show and his story is pale in comparison to the Mandalorian or his books that I read. The soundtrack is truly great for me especially the ending theme. Overall I think the show is a missed opportunity and probably the best example for the statement “Mediocre is worse than bad” which I normally do not agree with. However on the positive side I am hyped for Mandalorian season 3. Expand

-Mods are now the "Most irritating and out of place characters in the S.W. franchise" stealing the first places from Jar Jar Binks and Ewok and even Midichlorian .
-Boba gets the "Cruella re-design job"..so it isn't a cool-bad guy anymore but It is now a p.c. rebel that get bullied from everyone. -Lots of cameo from others S.W series...but barerly introducted and used....so they feels like unnecessary fanservice.
It's a pity.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Could it be stronger - yes with more time and tighter writing. I enjoyed the subplots but tying them together was very weak writing, e.g. you hype up the family of sand people and the transition of Fett from absolute cold stone killer to possibly something else only to twist it but not use it - e.g. kill the Punisher's family, he's not giving out hugs. Glimpses of possible excellence - hope they get a chance to make it stronger with a season 2. Expand

Fett's action sequences were drastically worse than in The Mandalorian and for whatever reason they turned him into a quip dropping wannabe protection racket gangster (yes they explained why he did it but it's completely out of character). I thought episode 4 was a big improvement and then it turned into Mandalorian season 2.5 which I was all for, I also really don't understand how Robert Rodriguez's episode in Mando was great but they were utter trash here.

For the love of Lucas, Disney, stop being so damn creatively bankrupt by using OG trilogy locations and make some new interesting ones.

Note: This review has only covered the contents present in the first 3 episodes & will be updated as more content rolls out.

So far The Book of Boba Fett is an alright experience that, when inevitably compared to its counterpart, The Mandalorian, lacks in almost every single facet.

-Flashback storyline should have been the only focus, since it's extremely more interesting than the current events
-Narrative doesn't feel focused
-The character of Boba Fett has been completely reimagined, which doesn't make any sense
-The character's new personality doesn't fit as a crime boss -Some of the CGI looks very cheap
-Some of the cinematography & cuts are very jarring
-Some of the dialogue is cheesy (more than Star Wars is used to)
-Many frustrating moments (in the first episode, for example, Boba Fett got surrounded but he could easily have used his jetpack to escape)


Overall, The Book of Boba Fett feels like a bucket of cold water that shockingly & unapologetically contradicts the reputation this beloved character has built throughout the decades, transforming him into nothing more than a fool who, because of the changes to the way the character acts, doesn't fit the role of a crime lord in the SW universe.
What a sad & infuriating joke.

The final fight was a bit off, there wasn't any mass, just a few people shooting, that's not a big war, just a small gang. The recollection scenes was what that series should focus on, who is Boba.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kind of meh, but it has its moments. The episodes where Mando and Grogu steal the show are on fire; they're some of the best Star Wars I've seen recently. The rest? Lot of heart, and a lot of iffy writing. I loved the Sand People! Then they all died. Friendly-Crime Lord Fett seems way different than the absolutely badass Fett we saw in Mando season 2. Black Krrsantan starts out seeming ultra metal, and then kind of fizzles into being a push-over. Hopefully they find a better use for Boba (less time in Bacta?) that is more in keeping with the terrifying, mysterious space-villain/anti-hero he was and could be! Expand

Main plot points are introduced, only for it to quickly end. It feels like this was originally the script for the cancelled Boba Fett movie, but they just hastily turned it into a series. You know it's pretty bad when they just throw in a trailer as filler. However there are moments of entertainment, but what ties it all together is an utter mess. Expand

The storytelling is extremely slow, in the first couple of episodes not very much is happening. Instead of giving the character of Boba Fett a show in its own right, the show mostly serves to set up the third season of The Mandalorian. I like Mando a lot, but his story should be told in his own show. I guess, Boba Fett was mainly produced to provide content for Disney+ and to take the links between the Star Wars shows to the extreme - but that strategy will probably come to an end anyway. To sum up: Giving Boba a real show with a real story could have been interesting, but using him just as a stirrup keeper seems kind of wasted. Expand

After the great 2 seasons of Mandalorian, this is a big step backwards in Star Wars shows. If you ignore how much it butchers Boba Fett as a character, the show is still relatively enjoyable and the final episode is a pretty fun action sequence. It is a shame that they made Boba Fett's show just an advertisement for Mandalorian season 3 rather than create an exciting show centred around the character. Expand

Я вижу, что Disney снова идут своим идиотским путём, меняя режиссёров каждую серию. И это ужасно! Неужели то дерьмо которое вылилось на их головы после выхода трёх номерных частей их ничему не научило? Это не ситком, а сериал, нельзя менять режиссёров на каждой серии. Получится полный отстой.
Теперь конкретно о увиденном. Ну графика на высоте, сюжет идет со всем, что я читал и во что играл в разрез, а вот сама так сказать движущая составляющая... Меня крайне удивило поведение Бобы Фетта. Так после освобождения из брюха сарлакка его как бомжа раздевают джавы, даже вырубают ударом в лицо. Это джавы которые своей тени боятся? Потом берут в плен таскены, а за тем избивают как щенка. Это Фетта который как известно знает несколько боевых искусств, прошел спартанскую школу выживания? Может быть вся его сила закючалась в доспехах? Тогда почему он не использует их в бою с наёмниками? И это лучший охотник за головами в галактике? Мне просто показалось, что Моррисону надо бы похудеть да и видно актёр староват стал для этой роли. Сцены с рукопашными сражениями с его участием выглядят нелепо. Но зато добавили помощницу - девчонку которая за него расшвыревает целые взводы элитных десантников... от чего бои становятся не только нелепее, но и смешнее.
Моя оценка средняя.

As much as I really don't want to recommend this show to anybody, the fact that you have to watch this show after The Mandalorian Season 2 proves that Disney probably knew that this show was bad and made it mandatory to watch it to get caughtAs much as I really don't want to recommend this show to anybody, the fact that you have to watch this show after The Mandalorian Season 2 proves that Disney probably knew that this show was bad and made it mandatory to watch it to get caught up in the series in order to make back their money on the series. Since I'm not exactly going to be pulling any punches on the negatives, the few positives I have for this show primarily revolve around great action sequences, great performances all across the board, and an overall decent enough soundtrack. The first thing I can easily say about why I didn't enjoy this show despite the fact it's about Boba Fett, it doesn't focus NEARLY enough on him to actually be about him and even when he is in action, he feels so nurtured and stripped of what he was like in the OG trilogy and there's no way he changed from a relentless bounty hunter just looking for money to a soft war leader who wants to protect a town he managed to claim ownership from Jabba the Hut since the show never explored this change of his. To be clear, Din from The Mandalorian was the same, but the reason that worked was because he managed to find someone to care about and love thanks to Grogu reminding him of his past self hence we were we there with him up unto the end and it felt so satisfying to see it happen. Speaking of Din and Grogu, one of the episodes was dedicated entirely to him getting Grogu back and people say this was when the show was finally picking up steam and I'm more inclined to disagree since that means we get even less time with Boba and when he got Grogu back, it didn't even feel exciting since it basically made the ending of Season 2 meaningless so no, Din and Grogu coming back in this show didn't make it better but in fact made it so much WORSE considering it meant sacrificing time focusing on Boba even if both characters were excellent here. The rest of the side characters were downright FORGETTABLE with no redeeming qualities to them and just when it looked like they were going to stand out, their time in the spotlight gets stolen at the last minute preventing me from cheering them on and hoping they would win. The main villains aren't even very good either since they aren't nearly present enough in the first 4 episodes to set up tension and create any sort of fear for me to take them seriously and when they do show up to actually create unspeakable horrors, it's already too late since I lost all of my investment in the show a long time ago. So overall, this TV show fails as both a follow-up to The Mandalorian and as a spin-off for Boba Fett and if it wasn't for the fact that you needed to watch it before watching Season 3 of The Mandalorian, I would've easily recommended you stay away from this show no matter what. In the end though, I think you're better off just watching a YouTube video explaining the story of the series because I absolutely cannot recommend The Book of Boba Fett. Expand

From the P.C. narratives, the nonstop flashbacks, and Boba Fett essentially being a wimp and the exact opposite of his character in Empire & ROTJ…there’s very little to like here. Cinematography is great. Special effects are good. Nothing makes sense. Plus he literally kills no one, he has his “sidekick” sniper tell him to do just about everything and she does all the work. No surprise from a SW these days, but it makes Boba look wimpy. He looks less powerful than her and less in charge. He takes his helmet off for no reason. Helmet on- intimidation. Helmet off- old man with burnt skin. Makes no sense. I just don’t understand why they are making this show so terribly. Mandalorian seems more Boba Fett than Boba Fett does. Expand

Review after Episode 3: some basic good ideas extremely poorly executed. This is not worth your money nor your time.

The show needs to hire a paid, human, adult writer to replace the intern, child, chimp that is currently writing the scripts.

It also needs to hire a choreographer for the fight scenes whose prior credits include something more than Sesame Street.

The good:
1) It is not outrageously insulting to Star Wars fans like the third trilogy and most of the spin-off movies were.

2) Above CW-level production value (visual effects, wardrobe, photography, music, etc.).

The bad:
1) Nonsensical writing.
2) Terrible fight choreographies. 3) Portrayal of Boba Fett as a completely different character from the one we saw in the Mandalorian: tired, gutless, dumb.

The Mandalorian was no masterpiece (6/10 in my opinion), but this is (so far, at least) way worse. Avoid.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well there it is the end of the series. As I expected this show turned out to be a weak parody for Star Wars,despite us viewers seeing there some characters from the franchise, which once again were brought for the sense of nostalgia instead of addressing the main character of the entire show. I won't review the series as it is. My goal here is to show you readers the path of the iconic character and where the creators of this show have brought him.
Allow me to remind you that the character named Boba Fett started as a cold-blooded bounty hunter, famous for his "disintegrations" working for the cruel government and the crime lords. But look! Here in this series he's a good guy with good intentions, who wants to be good because...someone saved his life? Sorry friends, but I'm not buying it. Let's take a closer look at Boba's journey.
-he starts as a son to a famous bounty hunter Jango Fett who's murdered by the jedi in front of him.
-next we see him as he tries to avenge his fathers death. We see the boy struggling for taking innocent lives, and even the lives of soldiers, yet later on he still follows the path of crime, when he attempts to deliever a cargo with the young woman in the box. (Not very nice is it?) Though in the unfinished Clone Wars episodes, we once again see Boba's good side, when he saves innocent people from Cad Bane(who regards only skill and the strength of the individual).

Let's take a moment to summurize. Boba Fett - is a fighter loyal to himself and his unsteady ideals, he is cruel and cold, yet he is always can't stand the murder of the innocents. So you can see that there already some holes in this character. He is able to stand against those who would harm innocent yet later on he would work for those who opress and destroy innocent lives. The character of Boba Fett outside the Original Trilogy is not complex HE IS BADLY WRITTEN.

But let us return to the show. As it progresses we see Boba becoming soft, because some tribe saved his life. And so they got killed. He in return have the strong desire for revenge and in the same time he wants to rule so that atrocitys would never happen again. However his methods suddenly change. He's grown weaker. And I as a viewer ask:"Why?"And the screenwriter responds with:"Just because!" His indifference for lives of his targets and enemy's lives could hardly co-exist with his empathy for the innocents, because you as a viewer still remember who he worked for in the past, so let's be honest here and say that his kindness is brought to us out of nowhere. The screenwriters had a chance to work on previous mistakes to show us the cruel hunter who isn't without mercy to those that won't involve themselves in any struggle, but instead we get cameo's and storylines of other characters of the new canon.
In the show Boba Fett is not the bounty hunter. And he is no savior either considering his desire to rule and recieve tribute for no reason but his strength, which actually makes him a tyrant under the disguise of the man with good intentions. We can make that assumption by taking a look at those who he has surrounded himself with - killers and bounty hunters. So who is Boba Fett? I have no idea. All that I saw was an attempt to show the viewer that he is super good guy because...That is the desire of Dave Filloni, John Favro and the Disney itself.

Instead of telling a cool story about one of the most mysterious and "badass" characters in the Star Wars universe, we can another Mandalorian with a bad mood and less charisma.

Especially his heroic and "honorable" behavior seems completely out of character and a missed opportunity to tell a cooler, more interesting story.

And then there's the missing tone. I don't know what exactly, but the entire production, style, music, and tone seem slightly off about this show. It feels a bit more like a Saturday morning cartoon than an actual Star Wars story.

Basically, given that we already have the Mandalorian, this show has very little new to offer and takes from the legend of Boba Fett more than it adds.

Same as everyone else is saying.
They have taken one of the most memorable characters and placed him in a world of children with learning difficulties. Disney, please cut out the kiddy jokes, the stupid little hovercraft bikes with the gang

This show is mediocre.

From the terrible CGI, boring fight scenes, the lack of characterization or story of why boba fett is who he is today, and most of the side characther's especially Drash who is teribble isn't necessary or needed to show up in the show. Once again "The Mandalorian" saves the day, the alternative show name for this would be "Mandalorian Season: 2.5" it's just that Mediocre. Expand

I felt the first two episodes weren’t strong but were making some attempt to be engaging. Episode 3 introduced characters and obvious production failings that are simply perplexing. Episode 4 has sealed the fate of this series for me. I can’t progress past this point. Characters that could be pulled straight out of Power Rangers are just so jarring and out of place. I’m a big advocate of practical effects over CGI if it is done well but, the puppetry in this series makes the muppet show look good. The writing is horrendous with no apparent attention paid to lore or even detail within each episode. The production values just seem to have vanished. Not sure what budgetary constraints they had but there are obvious corners that have been cut. Oh… and the endless use of recycled material and old tropes. Even they are executed poorly. Each to their own but I shall waste no more time on this waste of my time. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was so excited for this character to finally get some real screen time....then I saw the screen and cringed. Wow. For me the worst part is that the best parts of this show aren't even organic to this show. It's Mandalorian. That's just plain sad to me. The show was poorly written and edited. Then add in the amount of cheesyness is just wat too much that it's almost comical. What do they say in Marvel? Tony tells Parker, “If you’re nothing without the suit, then you shouldn’t have it.” Well he proved he shouldn't have it. I was shocked how the series painted him in such a weak way. The female lead was way more of a leader the whole time. I'm sad to see the good old Star wars name slapped on something so poorly put together. I will say, the first 10 minutes and I was so happy and excited....then I felt I must of changed the channel because it switched. Just sad. The King Kong aspect at the end, SMH. Honestly? I had my reservation after the first episode so I looked into the movie history of the other director Robert Rodriguez and I can't say I am surprised. After seeing how Bryce Dallas Howard did the best episode...I wish she had done the entire show and maybe we would of gotten a real Boba Fett and not a McDonald's Kids meal toy. Expand

The whole series is very boring minus one of the Mandalorian episodes. The cameo filled messes are becoming too much.

I've been a staunch support if Disney since they acquired the Star Wars franchise as I've (for the most part) enjoyed the films and shows. Sure, film 9 was a disjointed mess with characters being cut but overall it's been ok.
Now we have a series based on one of the most interesting and famous characters and one who's name alone strikes fear into everyone in the SW universe..and they've messed it up.
Visually awful, far too Politically Correct and safe and plain boring this is an absolute travesty of a character assassination and everyone's fears over the Mickey Mouse finger realised. The saving grace is the titular character is well acted but everything else is worthless

Too few things get explained, the plot is painstakingly slow, and the world (unlike in The Mandalorian) feels so small and contained, namely to plotting the whole show on Tattoine (which, for the love of god, show us some other planets PLEASE). Boba Fett's character takes a partial 180, which I don't mind too much given he didn't have much character in the movies, but I understand why it would upset fans. The new characters also really don't land and are totally forgettable, unlike in the Mandalorian. Hopefully Disney course-corrects for Kenobi and actually hires some writers that can tell a fun, engaging story with some excellent characters to boot, cause this show ain't it chief. Expand

The directing, editing, and some of the CGI is poor. The show is mostly back-story, to turn Boba from evil and strong into caring and weak. He needs slight girls to save him all the time, and he cannot remember to use the equipment logically due to contrived convenience. The plot holes, such as flame thrower in an enclosed space in a suit that is at least half cloth, are the main elements. Even if you can forgive all of that, the poor editing where characters are in different poses or locations between shots is inexcusable. Enjoy the mystery boxes and the redemption of Boba into a hero. Expand

So the most feared bounty hunter in Star Wars lore has returned to become a respectable mayor of a small desert town.
Does this make a good synopsis Lucasfilm? No? Then why make the damn show?

People act like Filoni is the savior of Star Wars but this proves that he is not. His stories are afraid to go anywhere and have no teeth. He's ruining character backstories and shoehorning his own characters needlessly into stories just like Lucas did with the prequels.
Star Wars needs its Kevin Fiege and Filoni ain't it.
