Such a disappointment, yet very in sync with the dark work of Star Wars, and a clear departure from the independence of The Mandalorian.
Overall, this is a rip-off. Some of the episodes aren't about Boba Fett, or even with him. And the series is filled with goofs and continuity issues. Say in the last episode where the woman at the garage and the assistant to the mayor are hugging each other in front of the Rancor when filmed from the front, and are clearly an arm length away when filmed from the back, and the two scenes flash back and forth a few times.
On the plus side, it is a story of powerful gangs, and murderous cults, and the only hope in the land is the ”Rebel” government and the deadly Jedi. And yea, back in the 80s Luke was the last Jedi, only to disocver that it is quite a crowd, with a triple-tail-headed woman, and Grogu. It shows how good abuse is to teach children for Favreau: Grogu doesn't ”want” to jump as high as Luke desires, but look how agile he becomes when the drone hurts him badly!
It brings the morals of the War on Drugs. How people should work without pay, and how ”good for business” is something only drug lords might need. And while the Mandalorian series keeps some decency in what an economic system might involve, this series is plain communist utopia: the Mandalorian character never gets paid, but he pays well everywhere he goes, gas and ammo are unlimited.
Back in the Mandalorian series, Mando needed a larger ship to carry his inventory, and the bounties. Now it seems he is okay with a fast ship in which he can't carry cargo or prisoners. Smart.
I laughed at the irony of the last episode, where Favreau makes the point of the mighty government once more: two very violent gangs who choose to have their last stand in the middle of the city. Death. Destruction. Terrible material damage. And all done ”to protect the citizens”. Reminds me of two world wars, two Vietnam wars, and many others. And like in Nazi propaganda, or Soviet propaganda, or US propaganda, the civilians are so happy their homes would need years of repairs, and their relatives are dead, so they smile as the benevolent murderer graciously accepts a tribute in fruit. Like 1984 said: War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery.Show less
