Upon the release of the show , many were hopeful for the future of the dealership ’s iconic bounty hunter asThe Book of Boba Fettwas expect to tie intoupcomingStar WarsTV appearance . That said , the issues get hold withinThe Book of Boba Fett ’s overall story led to the lineament being passably sidelined as of late , cast into doubt any possibility ofThe Book of Boba Fettseason 2 .
What is even bad is thataudiences are not sure whether Boba Fett will play a role at all going ahead , include inDave Filoni’sThe MandalorianStar Warsmovie . These dubiousness rest solely onThe Book of Boba Fett ’s shoulder , as the spin - off failed to conquer the same magic that was present in the persona ’s re - introduction toStar WarsviaThe Mandalorianseason 2 . Unfortunately , The Book of Boba Fetthad a wealthiness of problemswhich led to its lower ranking amongStar Wars’other TV shows , with these problem only develop in intensity when retool the show two years on from its Disney+ first appearance .

10Boba Fett’s Flashbacks Are Thrilling - But Do Not Fit With The Main Story
Boba Fett’s Tusken Raider flashbacks do not tie closely enough to the show’s present-day storyline.
Upon the firing ofThe Book of Boba Fett ’s first few episodes , the story was intriguingly split between two timelines . These timelines consisted of the titular character ’s seek to take Jabba the Hutt ’s criminal empire afterThe Mandalorianseason 2 and the flashback to his time between the latter time of year and his twilight into the Sarlacc perdition inReturn of the Jedi . The latter aspects of the story were some of the show ’s most interesting , play up the aliveness and culture of Tatooine ’s antecedently uncongenial Tusken Raiders while eventually discover to audiences what happened to Boba Fett after the events of his supposed demise in 1983’sReturn of the Jedi .
When rewatching the show two years after its dismission , it is a harsh reality thatthese flashback are disruptive to the overall narration of the show . Despite their interesting elements , the flashback are almost entirely unnecessary for where the account ofThe Book of Boba Fettgoes . While the intent was to have Boba ’s flashbacks of come up a clan with the Tuskens inform his loyalty - over - reverence rule of Mos Espa in the present tense , the latter aspect was underdeveloped . Present Boba did not receive enough of an electric discharge to justify the inclusion of the Tusken flashbacks , making them simply needless toThe Book of Boba Fett ’s core story .
9Din Djarin’s The Mandalorian Season 2.5 Story Took Over Boba Fett’s
Din Djarin’s Book of Boba Fett adventures were best left for the opening of The Mandalorian season 3.
Undoubtedly one of the large criticisms ofThe Book of Boba Fettwhen the show was first put out was the two episodes in which the titular character barely feature . The Book of Boba Fettepisodes 5 and 6 , " paying back of the Mandalorian " and " From the Desert Comes a Stranger " severally , were almost exclusively focus onThe Mandalorian ’s Din Djarin . The former installment does not sport Boba Fett at all , with the latter including one diminished fit demand the titular Daimyo . In a vacuum , these episodes are fantastic and offer brilliantStar Warsworld - building , action succession , and continuance of the New Republic era ’s various characters .
That enounce , the harsh reality of these two episodes is that they had largely no home inThe Book of Boba Fett ’s report . " Return of the Mandalorian " specifically had this issue , with the only mention ofThe Book of Boba Fett ’s floor coming in a small , hold back appearance from Fennec Shand . " From the Desert Comes a Stranger " true had more element that tied to the show ’s overall story , though they were offset by incredibly out - of - home inclusions of Grogu education under a CGI Luke Skywalker , Ahsoka Tano , R2 - D2 , and other widerStar Warsscenes that were great in concept , butfelt as though they belonged to another show solely .
8Ahsoka Tano Being With Luke In The Book Of Boba Fett Makes No Sense
Ahsoka & Luke’s meeting was incredible fan service, yet made little logical sense after Ahsoka season 1.
The most talk over prospect ofThe Book of Boba Fettepisode 6 was the coming together between Ahsoka Tano and Luke Skywalker . Since it was confirmed that Ahsoka know beyond the original trilogy , manyStar Warsfans had longed for Anakin Skywalker ’s former prentice to meet his son . This was provide inThe Book of Boba Fett , though this fan service patch stage makes no sense two yr on , especially after the release ofAhsokaseason 1 . The latter made no citation of Luke nor Ashoka ’s meeting with him and focused on an unrelated story , making the two being included in Boba ’s story even more nonsensical despite being exciting in concept .
7Jon Favreau’s Writing Suffers From Making Interconnected Stories
Boba Fett’s connections to The Mandalorian season 3, and vice versa, proved this.
In the two geezerhood sinceThe Book of Boba Fett ’s debut , The Mandalorianseason 3 has been released on Disney+ . One of the weakest instalment ofThe Mandalorian ’s third outing was its premiere , which rehash elements fromThe Book of Boba Fettfor anyone who missed the latter . Unfortunately , this proves that a harsh realism ofThe Book of Boba Fettis that Jon Favreau ’s writing is at its best when enjoin standalone stories .
The insistence of Favreau on include twoMandalorian - centrical episodes to bridge over the gap between seasons 2 and 3 of that show adversely affectedThe Book of Boba Fett . Similarly , the elements fromThe Book of Boba Fettthat centered on Din Djarin , Grogu , Ahsoka , and Luke Skywalker all would have been better left forThe Mandalorianseason 3 , episode 1 , which would have converted the instalment from one of the show ’s weakest to one of its strongest . However , the tying together of the two show to form an interconnected story left both projects somewhat lacking from the more standalone accounting entry in the New Republic era .
6The Book Of Boba Fett Didn’t Know What To Do With Fennec Shand
Boba Fett’s assassin ally received little in the way of genuine character development.
Another ofThe Book of Boba Fett ’s hard the true is thatthe show did not know how to handle the character of Fennec Shand . get an actress as talented as Ming - Na Wen in the office should have made Fennec a standout , though even Wen ’s abilities could not save the underdeveloped spark she was provided with . ThroughoutThe Book of Boba Fett , Fennec ’s type is banish to being musculus for Boba , send off to do his bidding be it recruit Din Djarin or silently assassinate the Pykes in the final episode . Wen ’s great performance hid these issuance upon release , but the old age since have made remove the show ’s disservice to Fennec Shand .
5Cad Bane’s Inclusion Is Pointless For General Star Wars Viewers
Boba Fett’s exciting Clone Wars character means little to anyone outside of die-hard Star Wars fans.
touch on fan service , one of the most undeniably exciting moments ofThe Book of Boba Fettwas the entrance of Cad Bane . Bane was a bounty hunter from Boba ’s childhood , featured at length inStar warfare : The Clone Wars . As such , anyone familiar with the animated show was implausibly delight by his alive - activity debut . That said , in the time sinceThe Book of Boba Fettaired , it has become ever more clear thatthe show does nothing to explain or further Bane ’s character fromStar Wars : The Clone Wars .
Those with knowledge of the animatedStar Warsshow likely ignore this at the meter ofThe Book of Boba Fett ’s release in favor of being wrapped up in the plug of seeing another fictional character transition from living to live on - natural action . Conversely , consultation members tuning intoThe Book of Boba Fettwho have not seen any ofClone Warswill wind up the former show without knowing anything more about Cad Bane from when he strolled across the deserts of Tatooine . The show give way to give Cad any variety of arc for casual viewersand even let down those familiar with the character reference by give him a lackluster fate as of the show ’s terminate .
4The Book Of Boba Fett Failed To Make Its Titular Character Imposing
Boba himself is threatening, but his rabble of rebels does not befit the Daimyo of Mos Espa.
Another of the harsh realness facingThe Book of Boba Fettis thatthe titular eccentric is diminished by his lot of allies . apart from Fennec Shand , Din Djarin , and Black Krrsantan , Boba Fett ’s allies lower his report . Considering the show is centered around Fett build his position as the Daimyo of Mos Espa , he does not pack out his his roster with muscle of any real magnate . The modder mathematical group is one of the least - liked inclusions in DisneyStar Warswhile the rabble from Freetown do not impress fear in Boba ’s enemy . Unfortunately , Boba ’s threatening behaviour is defile by the overly light-headed , goofy company the reference allies himself with .
3Boba’s Mandalorian Season 2 Return Now Has Less Of An Impact
The Mandalorian offered a better outlet for Boba’s character than his own show.
After his debut inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , many had renewed hope that a Boba Fett solo news report could turn . His first dead on target appearance inThe Mandalorianseason 2 , episode 6 made him one of the most threatening , competent , candidly badass characters in the entire show . Unfortunately , one of the harsh reality ofThe Book of Boba Fettis that the show completely undo any of this . His lusterless " origin " story somewhat ruins his amazingThe Mandalorianappearances , as the latter portrayals do not lead to anything even one-half as gratifying in Boba ’s own show .
2The Book Of Boba Fett’s Direction Felt Lacking
The show’s production felt lackluster compared to The Mandalorian’s first two seasons.
One of the less frequent yet still evident issues facingThe Book of Boba Fettwas the show ’s direction . While the book did not facilitate the show ’s story in damage of pacing , there were a few moments in whichthe Book of Boba Fett ’s direction just felt slow , lethargic , and uninteresting , specially on rewatch a few days bump off from the show ’s premiere . One of these instances came inThe Book of Boba Fettepisode 3 , which houses one of the ho-hum chase scenes inStar Warshistory .
From the slow television camera movement and the uninspired stroke composition to the farseeing takes that could ’ve been trimmed in redaction , the chase scene in which Boba ’s modder gang pursues one of his political enemies is distressingly dense . Another instance of strange directional alternative is found in the last installment ofThe Book of Boba Fettand is perhaps one of the most ridiculed moments in modernStar Wars . The television camera lingers on the character of Skad , who does a dim - movement spin before shoot his enemies . When a move such as this can feel goofy in a franchise as unabashedly silly asStar Wars , the direction must be called into question .
1The Book Of Boba Fett’s Entire Story Now Feels Meaningless
Boba’s stint on the sidelines of the New Republic era makes his story pointless.
in conclusion , arguably the biggest harsh world facingThe Book of Boba Fetttwo years on from its release is thatthe full show now feels all but pointless . Since the show cease , Boba has not appear in a singleStar Warsproperty set in the New Republic earned run average despiteThe Mandalorianseason 3 andAhsokabeing bring out in 2023 . While the show has plenty of issues , this does not mean the titulary fibre who take for so much potential deserves striking fromStar Warscanon completely , especially with an actor as loyal and committed to the franchise as Temuera Morrison in the office .
After all , some of the biggest redemption arc have come in the form ofStar Wars ' badmouth characters . From Anakin Skywalker to Ahsoka Tano and even Rey Skywalker , characters that were originally hated have forever been examine to be get much better under unlike storytelling circumstances . Boba Fett as a character still holds immense potential , something that many trust would be realize in his continued New Republic appearances . That said , The Book of Boba Fetthas been provide pointless by the absence of the character in theStar Warsfranchise since the show ’s sacking .
