Critics’ Chatter
“In short, The Book of Boba Fett needs to show us what Boba actually cares about, other than looking like a badass (which, admittedly, he does very well). Boba Fett has had a reputation for decades as one of Star Wars’ coolest-looking characters. But if The Book of Boba Fett is going to succeed, it needs to do more than talk the talk: it’s time for Fett to walk the walk of the towering reputation that he supposedly has and let us learn more about the man inside the armor.”

“Many of the questions that preceded the anticipated ‘Star Wars’ spinoff still linger after “Stranger in a Strange Land.” But by showing us a defeated Fett and a triumphant Fett alike, Disney+ is starting to fill in decades-old gaps in the antihero’s journey.”
-Ben Lindbergh, The Ringer | Read The Full Review Here
“And so far, that’s exactly what Book Of Boba Fett offers; solidly delivered and totally unambitious storytelling. And if that’s what you want from Star Wars—an experience that evokes the trilogy’s movie serial roots with gee-whiz action and adventure without being weighed down by any headier notions—this delivers admirably. And yet I can’t help but hope that this isn’t the new standard for all Star Wars entertainment going forward. But, like some whiney farm kid always looking to the horizon, I should be in the present. This was a solid first episode, and I’m curious to see where it’s headed.”

Without Boba Fett we don’t get Mando. Without Boba Fett we don’t get baby yoda. Without Boba Fett Star Wars is less cool.
