I watched this show on Disney +.
I am really conflicted about this one. On one hand, it's great to see Temuera Morrison really get to play this character proper. And I think a lot of what they did with the character does work. At times. On the other hand, this really butches a lot of the mystique around the character. As well as kinda demasculates Fett. His personality and demeanor don't really match what he was like last time we saw him in the timeline from Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He doesn't seem nearly as cold and calculating like he was there. That does come at the cost of trying to humanize Fett more.
It is a disservice to the character, however. While the idea of having a Boba Fett led series is awesome on paper, this is not the story we wanted to see.
and it doesn't help the fact that this series is treated more as a Mandalorian season 2.5 than his own show, with several episodes of this show more about Din than Fett.
So in the end, I have to give this a 3 star rating... as it's OK.
Mistake Status: I'll get to it in time.
Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor - S1-E7
Revealing mistake: When the big battle starts, Boba and Mando appear using their jet packs. As Boba lands with one foot forwards, sand is thrown up into the air, but the sand is a special effect coming from about a metre in front of Boba, not from the foot itself. The result is very unconvincing.
Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor - S1-E7
Cad Bane: I'm here to negotiate on behalf of the Pyke Syndicate.
Boba Fett: I don't negotiate with gutless murderers.
Cad Bane: If that's not the Quacta calling the Stifling slimy.
