And I’m going to miss complaining about it tomorrow.

Yeah the Mod Squad was just pure cringe. Lead girl was the younger Nat in Yellowjackets, at least she's a cutie. But they just felt so out of place.

Most damning thing about this show though is that it demystified Boba Fett. Part of his appeal was how little he was used and how badass his backstory ostensibly seemed. Could've gone in so many directions and this is what they came up with?

There’s a big difference. The mod squad are Hipsters. Luke and Vader are whiny bitches, who jumped in head first and learned the hard way.

Hipster girl with the bad hair, couldn’t even move her arm while she was running. It was straight down 99% of the time, looked stupid.

At least she had an arm...

Well this show proves something for me - I’d rather have only a show about the Mandalorian than anything more about Boba Fett. I don’t see myself ever revisiting this again. And this is more proof Robert Rodriguez doesn’t have the skills to pull off any kind of directing mojo outside of Mariachi movies. Or Spy Kids I guess. Glad this was only 7 episodes.

I think it comes down to the fact that their is this weird obssesion with Bobba Fett and in reality he is not very interesting at all. And the series really didn't find a way to make him more interesting. Grounding him on friggin Tatooine was a very very poor choice. Making him a sort of white hat character was a very poor choice. Having Rodriguez involved is a very poor choice as he is noticeably the worst director on the show. Ming is a smoke show still but her character was as interesting as sand. I am not enough of a fan to just squee and forgive all if Luke shows up and the show itself was exceedingly mediocre. Kathlleen Kennedy in charge was the biggest mistake of all.

Where is the guy here who was proclaiming this was the best show of 2021? And after one episode.

Mandalorian was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series in last year's Emmys. Any chance Boba Fett gets that spot this year?

This is Boba Fett.



He might get nominated for being out standing in his field... err, desert. but I doubt he'd ever get an Emmy for it.

But I say his chances are about as good as RR getting one for directing an episode.

For anyone interested, the newest Disney Gallery documentary The Making of The Book of Boba Fett is now up on Disney plus. It’s 62 minutes.
