Episode 2
an inch forward in present time, a foot forward in the past. Basically, let's explain why the sand people didn't kill him, wrath of Kahn like lizard to control his brain to have a vision, then explain why he wears what he does now. That brief shot of Boba in his light jumpsuit with the armor on really shows off why they chose a black suit under the armor for old Boba Fett. It's too bad we needed an hour to explain that point. The character of Boba seems to be inconsistent here. The flashback scenes are fresh off of RotJ when he was a ruthless mercenary bounty hunter. Now they're trying to rebuild him as a benevolent protector? I personally prefer that as a defining trait of a character, but it just seems to not work here. The problem I have with Star Wars ever since the prequels is that it only seems to exist to explain what already was. That really isn't expansion, it's introspection. I prefer the mystery. It breathes life into the story. This story is laying in a bacta tank and we're all waiting for it to heal and show us something new. The entirety of The Mandalorian is pretty much the same thing.
Anyone else feel like they're watching Battlefront 2 with the melancholy narratives by Boba? That credit music had me chuckling.....
