Boba Fett is a beast!


What an AWESOME episode.

The OT was made in a time where there wasn't nonstop CGI explosions or action, like the PT or any action movie the last 15+ years. Boba Fett was a feared man because his sheer presence told us. It was ok we never saw much of him in action, because we believed what we were told. Less is more sometimes and The Empire Strikes back was one of those instances. But something has happened in the last several years. As more and more Star Wars came out, there's a group of fans who like to say Boba sucked. Wasn't a big deal. So and so was tougher than him. The more content was created, the less cool he became (because we barely saw him in action).

But this show showed us what he is. The man is an absolute force to be reckoned with. An absolute machine. A ruthless fighter. He mowed through those storm troopers - and in a variety of ways.

And the decision to have him help Mando find Baby Yoda? I did NOT see that coming. It adds some depth to the character. Great decision!

Gotta admit, I got the feels when he shows up to the fight in his armor. Even though it was a bit of a ridiculous shoot out (every good guy shot hits and all trooper shots miss except when shooting at invulnerable armor) I loved every minute*. Stoked that Ming Na is back too.

*Every minute with the exception of the "Dark Troopers" flying down to abduct Grogu. That scene was a let down. The fearsome Dark Troopers were simply clunky droids. Watching them stiffly close in on Grogu was sneer inducing.

I was hoping they would have sent in the Death Troopers.

Those guys are so badass.
