General The Book of Boba Fett talk

I'm not a big Boba Fett guy, but I'm very interested in this show.
I'd like to know what his motives are. Is it power, money, revenge?

Possibly Power. During this time period there is a massive power void throughout the galaxy. Jabba is dead, the Empire has crumbled, the Republic is weak even Mandalor is up for grabs.

Revenge. If I was Boba Fett id want to get Han. Big time. Han was fetts white whale. When he finally caught him, han escapes, and kills his boss. With the help of a jedi no less. Im sure fett has no love for jedi since he watched one behead his father.

What do you all think?

 

If you are fan of Boba Fett I'd recommend the bounty hunter wars. It's one of the best Star Wars comic books published by Marvel comics and written by the great Charles Soule.
also, the Legends book the bounty hunter wars trilogy written by KW Jeter. It's a dry read meaning its long winded but you get an old detailed story of how Boba Fett survived the sarlacc pit which I thought was interesting.
On another note, the Hollywood strike 2021 which might begin this Monday if the Hollywood crews don't reach an amicable deal will stall all productions including the Mandalorian season 3 which I fear. We have waited so long we might have to wait a bit longer for season 3.

 

Dang. That's something. Every industry is being effected by either labor shortage or strikes. It's getting crazy. Hollywood like every other industry is hurting big time. Covid pretty much killed the movie theater, now they have to deal with labor difficulty.

 

"Jabba ruled with fear. I intend to rule with respect."

I liked that line!

 

When he said ''speak freely'' it was more like ''choose your words carefully, they may be your last in this galaxy''

 

Thanks I'm looking forward to the back & forth that will be going on at that meeting.

 

Cant wait ..

 

Now, this is just my opinion, (so feel free to ignore everything I say,) but I dislike this line and am shocked more people aren’t criticizing it.

Since when did Boba Fett “respect” people? From his childhood, Boba Fett was always backstabbing somebody for a paycheck. He is not a nice guy, nor should Disney ever alter his persona to be one. This line makes me second-guess the direction of this show. If BOBF is just about Boba’s plan to be “the boss,” then I must ask: why??? Why now and not 5 years ago after escaping sarlaac? Was he honestly waiting to get his armor back? If I was one of those aliens sitting in that board meeting, I would be laughing at Boba Fett for even suggesting “I intend to rule with respect.” (Really? The guy wearing a rocket pack loaded with weapons from head to toe is NOT going to rule with fear?) On top of that, I am confused why these characters see Boba Fett as important and imposing. Sure, he’s got cool armor, but there were lots of tough characters in Jabba’s Palace who could take on the guy and possibly win. In the end, this storyline was written less as a logical evolution of character and more to check-off an item from fans’ wishlists. Boba Fett is only important in the eyes of FANS, not in the eyes of characters within the Star Wars universe. This is the kind of “breaking the fourth wall” that I’ve been seeing since Disney has run Lucasfilm: characters that FANS love gain an unusual legendary status. (Example with Rey in TFA “luke Skywalker? I thought he was just a legend?” Sure, to fans who grew up watching ANH he is a legend, but chances are most people in this galaxy, especially Jaaku, probably never heard of Skywalker.)

Now, if “I intend to rule with respect” is a big, fat lie and 5 minutes later everyone in the scene is shooting each other, then I take back everything I wrote in the previous paragraph.
