Meh - it has the look of Star Wars, but not the feel. No heart or soul.
He doesn't act like Boba Fett, and what's with the helmet coming off all the time?

Quoted from ForceFlow:I thought it was ok so far. It basically seemed like a warm-up pitch that set the stage for future plot lines.
Yeah, I have to agree there. This version of Boba Fett keeps getting the stuffing knocked out of him.
Boba Fett is/was cool because he looks like he can handle anything that comes his way without breaking a sweat. He's the one bounty hunter that Darth Vader himself basically said to take things down a notch. I want to see *that* Boba Fett.
Like I said - he doesn't act like Boba Fett. Plus he's about 30 pounds too heavy.
But the worst part of the series is the Fennec Shand character. Dialog and presence would fit in the MCU, not Star Wars.
Quoted from mrWol64:Really enjoyed the 1st episode,.. made me wonder if Tusken raiders ever take their mask off,.. ever!!
Good to see Temuera Morrison bringing in some attitude that you may just have to be a New Zealander to appreciate.
Btw, if you are concerned about his acting chops and ability to bring aggression,.. watch the movie Once Were Warriors.
Bring it on,.. Boba the Muss
That's the other rub. The Raiders were always ruthless as hell, now their respect can be earned it seems. Even Lucas still has them as bad assets in the prequels.
No storytelling, just dialog than Kung fu fight scene, witty dialog than Kung fu fight scene. It is the MCU.

Quoted from gdonovan:Happens all the time in Hollywood.
Watch Hidden Fortress by the Japanese director Kurosawa, Lucas admitted blatantly "borrowing" from it.
I’ve seen it, and it isn’t that familiar. Not like Fistfull of Dollars, that is a direct rip off of one of his movies. Even some of the scenes are the same.

Quoted from henrydwh:OK, let me ask you this... Boba Fett is a badass based on his characterization in the movies? Correct?
Is he a badass because he captured Han Solo? No Vader did that, I guess technically Boba provided back up.
Incorrect. Fett tracked him down after they floated with away with the garbage. The empire could not locate them during the entire movie. One of the Officers died because of it.

Quoted from gdonovan:The term you are looking for is "Mary Sue"
A Mary Sue is a type of fictional character, usually a young woman, who is portrayed as unrealistically free of weaknesses.[1] Originating in fan fiction, a Mary Sue is often an author's idealized self-insertion. Mary Sue stories are often written by adolescent authors.[2]
The term Mary Sue was coined by Paula Smith, as a character's name in the 1973 parody short story "A Trekkie's Tale", which satirized idealized female characters widespread in Star Trek fan fiction. A male character with similar traits may be labeled a Gary Stu or Marty Stu.
That makes so much f'ing sense.
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:On 25 May I'll be watching the new Obi-Wan series with my family.

The Bobba Fett series did a good job of being interesting and appealing to my entire family. I would have like it a bit darker but after all this is Disney. Of the live action series I would rate it in order: Mando Season 2, Mando Season 1, Book Of Bobba Fett.
Actually, let's start a fight. From best to worst:
1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. Rogue One
4. Return of the Jedi
5. The Mandolorian (TV Series)
6. Revenge of the Sith
7. Book of Bobba Fett (TV Series)
8. Attack of the Clones
Put down the crack pipe ok?
