Introduction to the Podcast and Guests
00:00:05
Speaker
Welcome to Chad Tsunami. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Chad Tsunami. I'm Sad Tsunami and joining me today is my very good friend and I think the correct term would be Star Wars aficionado slash Jedi Master.
00:00:34
Speaker
Yep, so joining me today is of Jan, who is the host of the Bear and Shell Podcast. So Jan, welcome back to Chatsunami. Thank you for having me for Chatsunami. Yes, only the best guests come on Chatsunami, don't you worry. Of course,
Excitement for 'The Book of Boba Fett' and Comparisons to 'The Mandalorian'
00:00:49
Speaker
of course. And I'm excited to talk about the book of Boba Fett and his friends.
00:00:54
Speaker
Because much like the book of Boba Fett, I couldn't do this episode on my own, so I needed my very own Thello Mandalorian to come in and to join, which would probably make Craig like baby Yoda, which that's another topic for another day. Craig, if you're listening to this, I'm sorry. But I'm leaving it in, OK? I mean, you basically think that Craig is cute. Your words, not mine.
00:01:24
Speaker
so yeah as you guys can tell today we are going to be talking about the book of Boba Fett which okay let's rewind a bit how did you feel after watching the incredible Mandalorian like how did you feel after watching the end of season two and then being hit with
00:01:42
Speaker
the fact that there was going to be a spin-off series for Boba Fett.
How Does Boba Fett Become a Leader?
00:01:46
Speaker
First thing was, how does it really work? I mean, he just came to the room and he showed Boba Futtuna and then he was like the leader, right? I was like thinking like, what? How? I mean, can anyone just come in and shoot the guy in the chair and like be a criminal, you know, like mastermind, like criminal lord? Do you know what it reminds me of? Have you ever seen the film Finding Nemo? Yes.
00:02:07
Speaker
So you know at the end where the spoilers for Finding Nemo, I suppose. Did they find him? Well, that's for next week's episode. Do you remember at the very end, I think it was like before Marvel started doing the like post-graduate scenes, but there was like a scene with the fish escape from the dentist's office and remember how they like leap into the ocean and all like, yay, we're free. Now what?
00:02:36
Speaker
Yeah, that's exactly what I felt when I was just like, yay, we killed that Fortuna. Now what? And that was it. It just cut. And it was like, huh. I do agree with you. It was like, okay, where are they gonna take us
Humorous Dissection of Tatooine's Power Structures
00:02:52
Speaker
from here? Are you a big Boba Fett fan? Wait, sorry, I'm just going back to the big Fortuna. Like, okay, so does he supposed to sit at the throne and then kill him? What if he's just gonna stand up, you know, at the time and then he gonna shoot him?
00:03:05
Speaker
Imagine you're a Gamorian guard and you just slip because everyone slips one day and you accidentally pull the trigger and accidentally shoot him. Are you accidentally the crime lord of Tatooine in the hot space? I think the biggest underside here is the fact that although Jabba had all the guards looking out for him, he gave the pigs axes. Why did he give the pigs axes?
00:03:33
Speaker
But is this why would the Cambodian guards just going to be like, if I shot Jabba right now, they're the only ones that worked it out, okay? They were going to take over, but they didn't have a gun. Okay, so when you eat a fish as a Jabba, right, and you got a bone stuck in your throat, and you die from that, is that bone a crime lord? Or like, what's happening then? Is it the fish? The bone of Boba Fett.
00:03:58
Speaker
It seems like a kind of flawed premise. The fact that we spent the last couple of minutes picking apart the power structure here of Tatooine. Yeah, it just seemed like a flawed premise to begin with. And don't get me wrong, there are a lot of cool characters and things, but yeah, kind of looking back to what I was saying before.
Mixed Feelings on Boba Fett's Character Development
00:04:18
Speaker
Where are you a fan of Boba Fett? I don't know.
00:04:20
Speaker
I actually really don't know because he wasn't like I know he's there I saw him in the impostor I expect he was standing next to Darth Vader you can't miss him out I can't say I was like a big fan I was like yeah how I look at that I know that guy he is a Mandalorian or he's supposed to be a Mandalorian and he's played by Tamari Morrison even before he was born
00:04:42
Speaker
It's amazing what time travel and George Lucas can do. That's another spin-off series we want to see. We want to see George Lucas with a time machine just going back being like, yes, I'm going to wreck on all of this. Yeah, yeah, I was a villain all along. Don't do that. Don't do that. But I am pretty much in the same boat. I don't know. Boba Fett surely is cool, but I'm going to be honest. Watching the Clone Wars, and you'll probably be able to back me up on this, but watching the Clone Wars every time Boba Fett came up,
00:05:11
Speaker
I get it. He was a kid. He wasn't really quote-unquote badass that he was in Empire Strikes Back or anything, but he was always really annoying. He was supposed to be like, oh, this is a young Boba Fett, but I was just so distracted by the fact he was so fucking annoying. He was just so annoying. How annoying? I actually remember him differently.
00:05:32
Speaker
I mean there was one episode where he was annoying and that was the one when they kidnapped the princess in Norway for such an interest. In that episode he is annoying. But I don't think him is annoying. I quite find him badass to be honest. I don't know. I think it was maybe it's just me looking at it through a critical lens because I was thinking more of the fact that
00:05:53
Speaker
It just felt as if they were trying to big him up as a badass because, you know, he's Boba Fett. Like, if it was any other random child clone that was trying to cause a rebellion or anything, you'd just be like, alright, okay, fair enough. But because it's Boba Fett, everyone's like, oh, it's Boba Fett, it's so cool.
00:06:09
Speaker
Maybe that's where my bias is coming from, I was kind of like, we get it, this kid's gonna be Boba Fett, he's gonna be, you know, and obviously nothing can happen to him because he's Boba Fett and everything, but he just kept getting punched by older, you know, like bounty hunters and things like that. Something that actually happens in this series, which I won't spoil too much here, but yeah.
00:06:31
Speaker
Yeah. He was kind of a mixed character for me in The Clone Wars, but obviously he wasn't there as we've established. He was like a kid. He wasn't the focus. Obviously The Clone Wars was the main crux of that series. Yeah, I remember him. Even The Empire Strikes Back. I mean, he was cool, but no. Are you going to say cute for a second?
00:06:52
Speaker
Oh man, that helmet. But in all honesty though, it just seemed as if this was, and this is kind of my general thoughts before we jump right into
Questioning the Logic of Returning to the Sarlacc Pit
00:07:01
Speaker
it, but it seemed as if this was a series where things happened. You know, things happened. Yeah, but what if it was just in the background? Yeah, Boba Fett was just like, you know those cardboard cutouts you get off of Amazon? It almost felt like that, but with like a really Boba Fett fanboy standing behind it going,
00:07:01
Speaker
No.
00:07:22
Speaker
And you're like, ah, okay, this is going to be bad. I mean, that could be a good idea. I know how he said that he needs to keep control of Mos Espa. You know how in UK you have like the cardboards of policemen looking after the shops, you know? Just put like cardboards of the buffet, like every corner, you know? And the fee is going to be like, oh my God, the buffet is here. Oh, no, no. Everybody scram. Yeah. It's the fat. It's like everybody scram.
00:07:47
Speaker
See, I would even watch that, like, imagine hot fuzz, but with Boba Fett, you know? I mean, seeing all on this table, will we just jump right into it and either salvage what we can? Much like his armour, salvage what we can. Oh my god. Okay, can we talk
00:08:02
Speaker
I'm gonna be skipping a lot now, but that fucking scene when he came back to the Sarlacc pit look for Look for his armor like it was cool But it didn't make sense like why did he things the armor is inside? Even though when he was clearly cautions when he grabbed out of the Sarlacc pit with the armor on And he was clearly cautions when the Java's took the armor of him So why did he thought of fucking coming back to the Sarlacc pit and look after his armor like what?
00:08:32
Speaker
You know what? That is a very good question. And that is a question we are going to answer.
Promotional Segment for Chatsunami
00:08:37
Speaker
We're going to go away right now and look for the answer right after these messages. So, yep, wait around and we will be right back.
00:08:46
Speaker
Welcome to Chatsunami, a variety podcast that talks about topics, from gaming and films to streaming in general interest.

00:09:17

If you're a cool kid like us, you're gonna listen to the Beer and Chill Podcast. You can get it anywhere from Spotify all the way to your grandma's radio. My name is Jan. And I'm Creaky C. And we are Beer and Chill.
00:09:52
Speaker
And I didn't know that's the reason why I went into the Charlotte Pit. Wow. That actually opened my mind up. That was really enlightening. All right. Okay. So, imagine what happened when the cameras were off, right? Imagine if that wasn't real.
00:10:08
Speaker
Wait, wait, wait, what? I know, right? And it's like wrestling, you know? You think it's fake, but it's actually real? So we flew with a ship. He flew to the Salak pit. He blew up, you know, the fucking Salak, you know? And after that, it was like, oh, wait a minute. I actually have it on when I crawl out. Oopsie. Sorry. My bad.
00:10:29
Speaker
I should probably point out that from now on, we are going to be diving into spoiler territory. So just in case, because let's face it, if you've watched the Book of Wolf 8, chances are you've probably watched The Mandalorian. At least I hope to God you've watched The Mandalorian.
Debate on Disney's Handling of Star Wars
00:10:45
Speaker
If you haven't, what are you doing? Watch The Mandalorian. Terrible business. It is the cruel world we're living in nowadays. That's the tick-tock world we live in. Just blame tick-tock.
00:10:56
Speaker
Let's start with, and again this is probably going to be the shorter segment of the episode, but let's start with the positives and I'm going to preface this before you start going through what I think you're going to start going through. Name something good about this show without referencing The Mandalorian. I actually have a lot of good things to say about this show. Oh thank god.
00:11:20
Speaker
I loved big parts of the show. The flashbacks were brilliant. They were like a little bit out of place, but they were brilliant. Like the flashbacks on its own, they were absolutely brilliant. And the way he crawled out was good, you know? The whole Mos Espa look brilliant. The effects look absolutely beautiful, you know?
00:11:39
Speaker
Catbane is back. That's brilliant. And I don't care. They killed him off. They confirmed that he was alive all these years and we could do a book of Catbane, you know, like I said, the effects, some of the fighting scenes, you know, how he fought the monster, you know, the the big kang from Mothra Kombat or what was his name is? Oh, the what the Wiki? No, no, no, no. The the the four armed monster. Anyway, the train scene was brilliant.
00:12:06
Speaker
the music is brilliant the music is fucking phenomenal i mean come on the theme song is way better than mandorians you know that's like the john wick you know uh poster when everyone puts guns into his head i know like i think that that theme song is way better than mandorians
00:12:22
Speaker
You know, the beginning, you know, the, oh, loved it, loved it. I mean, I was always excited to see another episode. I wasn't like hating and hating. I was like, I was more like, I'm more liked than hated it. You know, like some of the scene didn't make sense. Some of the dialogue didn't make sense. Like why the fuck is Boba Fett coming back to the start? Like even though there is no armor, he knows there is no armor inside. Anyway, we already discussed that. I well agree with you. First of all, I do think the music was great in this. I'm just trying to think, is it again, I don't want to loop
00:12:50
Speaker
too early into the negatives but I will agree, I didn't hate it but I didn't love this one. I think Disney has quite a problem and you know, the hot take and the night of course, but Disney has like a very serious issue about how to handle Star Wars, whether it's you know like the sequel trilogy, whether it's all the spin-off stuff and obviously you don't need us to tell you like how well hated
00:13:18
Speaker
that particular trilogy or things like that were at the time. But I remember hearing about the Mandalorian and thinking, ah, yeah, it'll be a kind of middle of the road, it would be that great. And I remember a set time aside, I thought, okay, I'll watch it, because I think this was just after I'd watched
00:13:36
Speaker
think it was solo or you know the kind of spinoffs like solo Rogue One and don't get me wrong I'm one of those people that I didn't mind Rogue One as much. I don't think it was really. Wait wait wait people people do hate Rogue One? Oh yeah people like loathe Rogue One. What? Genuinely yeah. I thought that Rogue One is like one of the greatest tower movies.
00:13:54
Speaker
I think the action in it is incredible. I will say this, I think it's absolutely fantastic. And that ending scene is, well, you know the one with Vader. It's fantastic. Oh, with Vader? Oh, yeah. Or that too. Yeah, not this CGI Carrie Fisher. No, no, no.
00:14:08
Speaker
I'm not being that nice to Disney, come on. But after watching Soho and feeling just so… I think it was just Star Wars fatigue, you know? You were just like, oh, just so much Star Wars coming out and I don't know if I can be bothered. So I watched The Mandalorian and I was like, eh, this is okay, I guess. And then by the end of like season one, I was absolutely hooked. I watched season two. I was waiting for every episode coming out. I was like, oh, this is, you know, this is absolutely fantastic. I was hooked from like episode one.
00:14:38
Speaker
Even my family. Some of my family members aren't Star Wars fans at all. They absolutely hate the series, but at the same time, when I showed my parents the Mandalorian, because we were bored with looking through Disney+, they were like, oh, what's this Mandalorian that everyone's talking about? Because, you know, obviously Baby Yoda has made it to the mainstream, so everybody knows about the Mandalorian. And they absolutely loved it, and it struck
00:15:04
Speaker
like such a perfect balance between newcomers to the series and people who maybe didn't like it. But when I say like it, I mean Star Wars. People who haven't seen Star Wars that kind of introduced them to the world of Star Wars and it was just an example of things that they did right. But
00:15:21
Speaker
But when it came to the Book of Boba Fett, I have to admit, this isn't one that I would recommend to new fans. Yeah, watch Clone Wars instead. Well, yeah, that's true. 100%, go watch Clone Wars. There's seven seasons and a spin-off Bad Batch show, so go watch it.
00:15:37
Speaker
the things I did like about it, obviously I love the Mandalorian stuff but again that's not really the Boba Fett stuff and we will kind of dive into that and talk more about it but the visuals were really good for the most part there is one particular aesthetic choice I want to kind of gripe on but you'll probably have guessed what it is but yeah
00:15:57
Speaker
Yeah, I liked a lot of the kind of designs of
Lack of Emotional Depth in Boba Fett's Character
00:16:01
Speaker
things. It did feel like a kind of lived-in city. I wish they kind of expanded a bit more. So you know it's like there's a particular scene halfway through the series where Boba Fett's trying to get the
00:16:13
Speaker
and by them I mean the crime syndicates onto his side and he was just like, you know, oh you should you know side with me and they're like no we're gonna remain neutral and it's like okay fair enough so they remain neutral. We didn't really get to see a lot of them until like the last episode and I feel as if that's quite a disservice to the overall narrative and the overall story and again
00:16:37
Speaker
There's another point that I've got that I'm saving up very nicely. I did like the fact that they did try to, I don't want to say humanise because I mean they were already humanised, but the fact that they tried to give Boba Fett a bit more character and made him like a kind of sympathetic and, you know, well-meaning guy. But the one thing I will kind of like 180 on on that point
00:16:59
Speaker
the fact that it is meant to be a crime lord. You know, it's like if you watch Breaking Bad and then halfway through, Heisenberg was like, I've got to get to a soup kitchen sometime. And you know, half of the episode was him doing stuff at a soup kitchen, and then the other half of the show was a completely different Netflix show that they just spliced in. So that was kind of
00:17:21
Speaker
it kind of worked at odds at times. Just trying to think what else.
Use of Iconic Characters: Are They Relevant?
00:17:25
Speaker
It was good to see some of the iconography come back, but you know, obviously with Luke, with Grogu, with kinda with Ahsoka. I feel as if nowadays they don't really know what to do with Ahsoka. She's just kinda there. I don't mind Ahsoka, but she's just kinda there like, Wise words, wise words, wise words. Oh yes, wise words. And you're like, okay, why are you here?
00:17:49
Speaker
Shouldn't you be like doing your own thing? Because last thing, I think she was hunting Thrawn or something. And here she is. Can you imagine Luke being on the planet like, oh my gosh, he's here again. Oh my god, he's going to tell me about my dad again. You're just like your father. It's like, excuse me? It's like, excuse me?
00:18:10
Speaker
You mean the same one that killed children. It seems kind of insensitive to say that, even if he was a space wizard. It seems whether he turned good at the end, that kind of doesn't matter when he's already killed a bunch of kids.
00:18:29
Speaker
A couple of old people who throw around laser swords are like, yeah, this isn't the best time, Ahsoka. Can you just tone it out? See, I was laughing when Luke was showing Yoda's lightsaber to Grogu, you know? And when he lighted up in front of his eyes, I was like, oh no, he will go again. Another youngling. You're just like your father. It's in the genetics, apparently.
00:18:52
Speaker
Now, do you know what was my favourite scene? The flashback of Grogu, you know? You can actually see 501st, you know, Legion. Raise up, all Clone Wars fans! Raise your hands up! You guys can't see it because we're recording, but there is a function to raise your hand, and the software we're recording in, and of course Jan is indeed raising the roof with his hand right now.
00:19:14
Speaker
Okay, so I got a question for you if you're alright. So, we don't have to talk about the mistakes of the show. I mean, I think it's well known, you know, by now. The story, there's no story. There are a bunch of teenagers who thinks they are very good. They have to do spins all every second. Have you seen the scene? How he does the spin, like 360 no scope? For no reason. It's not good at all. Can I actually quickly to jump on that point?
00:19:36
Speaker
So, do you remember the trailer for, I think it was Knights of the Old Republic, or the Old Republic, I think it was the MMO, and there's a very similar scene where the Sith Empire attack the space station, and there's this really cool cowboy-looking character. He does a similar spin, but the reason he does a similar spin is because he's getting shot at in the bullets or bolts or whatever you want to
00:20:07
Speaker
Actually, someone took a glock,
Critique of Action Scenes and Need for Context
00:20:09
Speaker
you know? Glocks have been in a stick to shot him. Order 66, you know? You can't be too sure. Yeah, it's like he does like a weird spin, and he's got like bullets flying by him and things, and you're like, oh, right, okay, that's cool because, you know, it's a really kind of rugged looking like rogue character who's shooting back, and he does that.
00:20:27
Speaker
But I do agree when it comes to that kid, or not kid, sorry, but that actor doing that spin. Yeah, it wasn't good. It wasn't good, guys, Disney. I'm sorry. All right. So the mistakes are known. How would you fix the series without changing the story, without changing the characters? You can change one character, but without changing the story, without changing the motives, keep the same story. How would you fix it? I would put more emphasis on Boba Fett.
00:20:54
Speaker
It sounds like such a simple fix, but at the end of the day I came to see a show called The Book of Boba Fett. It's like opening up Charles Dickens and then getting Shakespeare halfway through and then it cuts back at the end to Charles Dickens and you're like okay,
00:21:12
Speaker
I mean, I enjoyed the middle bit, but that wasn't Charles Dickens, that's not the book I bought. But it's the fact that what I think is the main issue with this show is its, well, both its identity and its focus. Like, I feel as if they were throwing in a lot of really cool things, like, you know, obviously the Mandalorian. And although I loved the scenes with the Mandalorian, I think that they probably should have not put
00:21:38
Speaker
such an emphasis. There's literally two episodes where it solely focuses on the Mandalorian rather than- Yeah, it's basically like Mandalorian 2.0. Sorry, 2.5, you know? And don't get me wrong, I love the Mandalorian. Yeah, yeah. It's one of my favourite shows. I mean, those two episodes were fucking brilliant, you know? I mean, you got the crossover between Halo and Mandalorian. Oh, of course. What do you want more?
00:22:00
Speaker
one of the best scenes of course on the entire franchise when the woman at the oh what you call that like the Tatooine not docking station but near the landing pad she was like oh how was the ship and he turned around and he just goes wizard
00:22:13
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who is her? Who is her? Just like, I love it. It's so dumb. I love it. I just love it. But do you realize why people like Mondoria more than Boba Fett, especially in this show? It's because, you know, like why do people love Boba Fett? It's because Boba Fett was this mysterious cool looking guy who was badass killing people, you know, and everything.
00:22:36
Speaker
Here, he was basically replaced by Din Djarin. And they saw it, they were like, okay, we can't make two Mandalorians, we need to change the character of one of those two. It ain't gonna be Mandalorian, it ain't gonna be Din Djarin. So they had to change Boba Fett into something different, so they don't copy the same characters.
00:22:54
Speaker
That's why people are gravitating more towards Mandora Yana because he totally replaced Boba Fett in this aspect. That's why people don't like the series because they don't like what Boba Fett turned into. That's what I'm getting. I think that one of the other reasons that people love the Mandalorian so much as opposed to the Book of Boba Fett is because
00:23:15
Speaker
it had both a focus, so the whole focus was of course him getting the child, and then the second developed from that, the second reason was because it had an emotional core to it. It was the fact that Din Djarin is this poor soul who got caught up in the Clone Wars, became a foundling, ended up joining this semi-religious group. I mean, they technically call it a religion, but you know what I mean.
00:23:40
Speaker
you know this group of Mandalorians who follow this creed, this is always known. He has known like a black and white viewpoint of life and then he meets Grogu, these opinions are challenged, he becomes overly attached even though he's not supposed to. To him the kid or Grogu should just be any other job and then it becomes like his kind of personal mission. Yes I did tear up at the finale, fight me.
00:24:06
Speaker
But after that, you know, there was like a huge journey, there was a whole range of emotions and things. For Boba Fett though, in comparison for Boba Fett, I know technically this isn't fair because there's only six episodes, or I think there's a limited range, there's like six or eight episodes, but there's not a lot of episodes to kind of work on.
00:24:25
Speaker
But you think, okay, that's perfectly fine because Boba Fett has been expanded on during the entirety of Star Wars ever since The Empire Strikes Back. And you think, okay, he's had time to kind of develop his character and things, but when he comes to Tatooine and he just takes over, and correct me if I'm wrong, because maybe I could be wrong, but Boba Fett has no emotional ties to Tatooine.
00:24:50
Speaker
He's got no emotional claims to Jabba or his throne or anything. He just, as it has been established, he just shoots Bib Fortuna, takes over his throne, and can I just say, see if you're gonna create like a crime family.
Boba Fett's Crime Family: Lack of Resources and Justification
00:25:04
Speaker
And this is an example I think I said to a friend, but it's like, have you ever heard of the Sopranos? Yeah, but it's just like your kind of standard famous mafia show. But it's like,
00:25:14
Speaker
if you had a show like The Sopranos or just insert any other mafia show here, and they were like, right, I'm gonna start like a mafia family. But you had like two people, one of which was like someone you met while they were passed out, you know, and then they woke up and they're like, oh, right, okay, let's start a crime family together. And it's like, you've got no resources, you've got no family. These are the kind of logistical things you should be thinking of before
00:25:40
Speaker
you actually create a crime family. So right off the bat, the whole premise is like, eh, why? And then of course there's the infamous biker gang, which I'm going to be honest, I don't hate the idea.
Humor on Slow Chase Scenes
00:25:57
Speaker
of it. Well, first of all, that chase scene with them is... ALICE Yeah, chase is like a strong word, yeah. ALICE Yeah, sorry, mild joke. That is one of the worst, that is genuinely one of the worst scenes I've ever seen. I've actually seen a guy, I've actually gone into the city and seen a guy on, you know, one of those like, what do you call it, like hoverboards? You know, it's like you put your feet on it and it's like the two wheels at either side.
00:26:22
Speaker
you call them hoverboards, I can't remember, but you know what I mean. It's like, I've seen a guy like that zoom in to like a bank and let me tell you, he was zooming in faster than the speed these guys were going. And he was just like, I don't know what he was doing, but you know, it's like he was going about his daily business so fast compared to these guys which were supposed to be like going on this epic chase and things. And I think it's just like with a lot of things they probably thought, oh, this is gonna be really cool.
00:26:50
Speaker
It just fell flat that one of the things, I'm actually curious to hear what you think about this kind of jumping to the ending because they tie everything, you know, in a neat bow, relatively. But there's a particular scene I want to point out, and it's when Boba Fett is like walking through the streets and he's like, oh, I don't think this is for me kind of thing. He's like, I was like, I was like, fuck off! So what's the whole point of the series then? What did I waste six hours on this shit?
00:27:18
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like faking the same. I was like, oh, fuck. And then see like directly after that, there's a scene where I can't even remember his name, but he gives the… Oh, that's gonna go. No, no, no. It's Boba Fett gives the bouquet the… Yo, Chris Clinton, yeah, yeah.
00:27:35
Speaker
they give him the fruit in Phoenix and they're like, oh, he doesn't want to share. I kid you not, I was expecting a freeze frame, followed by a PSA of, hey kids, spice isn't good. Don't take spice. Some kind of PSA at the end, you're like, what is this?
00:27:55
Speaker
It felt like a Saturday morning cartoon, but did you feel the same?
00:28:22
Speaker
you know like there's a simple way how to change the whole series to make it better how to improve the series and there's just one simple simple change over just a simple change over instead of book of above that why can't there be a book of Cobvan because think about it it makes more sense just like you said Cobvan has a connection to the Tatooine you know he has that emotional connection
00:28:43
Speaker
He isn't criminal, you know, the criminal lord. So he doesn't want the spies running through his city. And like Boba Fett, like he's a fucking criminal lord. That's how he makes profit, you know, by making illegal things. So that doesn't make sense much. But because he's honorable. No, no, no. Coven makes more sense. Imagine this. Like you can see the scene when the fucking awesome scene when he come to those pipes, pipes.
00:29:07
Speaker
Yeah, making it was like, I don't want any drugs in my town and shoot them, you know, and was like, Think about think about open move. I love that scene. That was brilliant. But keep that as opening, you know, and make the series story is the same, but it just change kabob when preventing the drugs on his planet to be, you know, I'm above it can be
Proposing a Spin-off with Cob Vanth
00:29:26
Speaker
there as well.
00:29:26
Speaker
But he's not a main character, because let's face it, Boba Fett as a main character, it doesn't work. There's nothing to him that could make him a main character. That's why Konban should be the main character of this series, and the show should be around him. Imagine the show about a badass marshal who comes to the town and be like, hey, I don't want that shit in my town, all right? And be like shooting the gangsters, and Boba Fett will give him emotional support because he can't do anything. So I just imagine Boba Fett being in the back,
00:29:55
Speaker
Oh, geez, cough. That was good. Like a bad thought. Like a bad thought. Try spinning. That's a good trick. But wouldn't that make more sense? And then the dramatic scene at the first end of the first episode could be of Cadvane walking into the town and be like, Hey cop, I know you're quite a badass, you know, like you actually deserve some armor.
00:30:20
Speaker
There's another thing why I meet Cobb Van, being a main character, because Boba Fett, he's untouchable with that armor, you know? You can't kill him with that armor. Cobb Van doesn't have that armor, so that makes more stakes, you know? And he might die, and that raised the attention and the stakes of the show. So end of the first episode could be Cad Bane walking in the town, be like, A,
00:30:40
Speaker
you're quite a badass you know uh i'm actually i just shit my pants i'm just watching it right now but hey let the things play out or i'm gonna raise hell and that could be like the end like the first episode you know i call ben could be like oh no no no you know that could change the whole series it make even make more sense if there's a bigger there's the same story but the stakes are higher and bubba could be there he could be like like a background character like side character you can come to him you know for help
00:31:08
Speaker
Bobby could give him a hand to defend the town, you know, at the finale. And you don't have to bring Mandoria into it at all. You know, you don't have to bring Baby Yoda into it. It would make more sense, what do you think? I think, like, first of all, absolutely fantastic point, and definitely should have been Nicole.
00:31:24
Speaker
The thing is, because initially I thought, oh, maybe it's because, you know, he wouldn't have been this popular, because this is a problem I have, I think, that because Boba Fett is the one with the brand recognition, you know, that way it's like, because everybody knows who Boba Fett is, everybody's got, you know, the merchandise for them when they've seen the Empire Strikes Back scenes a thousand times and everything, and it
00:31:48
Speaker
It almost feels, and I get it, it's Disney. This is grabbing the low-hanging fruit here. It feels manufactured. But in this it did. It's like, oh, look at the Tuscan readers. They are wearing all black in the desert. And I was like,
00:32:03
Speaker
Huh. Seems like a pretty poor colour if you want to stay cool in the desert. But then I was thinking, oh yeah, because it'll be to sell the toys, won't it? It's not because, oh it's because the Tusken Raiders have such a diverse and you know, unique history. I'm going to be honest, I don't like the Tusken Raiders. The few times I've seen them, obviously other than Attack of the Clones where Anakin killed them all, again look,
00:32:30
Speaker
just like your father. Honestly, it just felt as if they were there just to be like, oh, it's this emotional ra- this is the thing that I'm looking back on myself on. It's trying to manufacture this emotional resonance where it's like, oh, look, Boba Fett's angry because his foster family killed, got killed. And you're like, well, okay, first of all, you got kidnapped. Yeah.
00:32:59
Speaker
They made him a slave as well. But that's exactly the thing though. It feels almost like Stockholm Syndrome, the book of Stockholm Syndrome that should have been called, because it's like, well, okay, we've got Tuscan readers who are well known to grab people in the middle of the
Portrayal and Humanization of Tusken Raiders
00:33:16
Speaker
desert. They don't actively go and kidnap people, but it's like, they're not nice people in this.
00:33:21
Speaker
And yet, somehow it's like, oh yeah, we're supposed to feel bad that they kidnapped Boba Fett and they made him one of his own. You know, it's not like they were helping him and kind of just wary of him. That's why they kind of kept him captive. No, it was just so they could use him as a slave.
00:33:38
Speaker
No, actually, I should disagree with that because I like that they humanize the Tusken Raiders. I mean, think about it, right? Before the Mandalorian Season 2, because that was the first time they humanized the Tusken Raiders. Before that, the scene where Anakin is slaughtering the Tusken Raiders, you know, just like Luke, you know, just like your father.
00:33:53
Speaker
It doesn't really make sense because we're supposed to feel sorry for Anakin, or feel sorry for our Tusken Raiders, but only thing they show us is like these brute savages who will kill anything, these animals, right? But now, when they humanize them, and then you look back to Attack of the Clones, you're like, okay, these are actual people, you know, like, and then makes more sense that Anakin went to the Dark Side because in your eyes, before the Mandalorian Season 2, he did nothing wrong.
00:34:19
Speaker
He just killed some animals who were threatening to kill his mom and his life. I don't know what's the big fuss about, you know? But now it actually makes sense why is it such a big deal because there are people, you know? So that's why, like, it's always looking back. Oh yeah, it's definitely like a hindsight thing.
00:34:36
Speaker
I don't know. I felt as if maybe it's partly because they didn't have prisoners with them in the Mandalorian, where I loved the way they characterised them and humanised them in the Mandalorian because, you know, they had their own language. Not the grunts, but their sign language.
00:34:55
Speaker
which actually is apparently based on American Sign Language. They made up a whole Tuscan language or sign language based on American Sign Language. It's really cool how much effort went into humanising them and bringing them
00:35:10
Speaker
you know into this as you said making them more human and sympathetic but then you just they just make a 180 and they're like oh no the Tuscan readers still you know still kidnap people and they wear all black this time again I don't get the fashionful barrier but
00:35:27
Speaker
it's like it is clearly it's just like oh it's to distinguish them and that's why Boba Fett looked the way he did in The Mandalorian and I don't know I'm a bit iffy about it. I just feel as if it's like quite shallow reasoning for the whole show. This is the thing like think back to The Mandalorian or even The Clone Wars if
00:35:47
Speaker
If the Jedi didn't care about the Republic, if the only reason they cared about the Republic was because their temple was there, or because the Mandalorian only cared about Grogu because Grogu just happened to be in the vicinity, you wouldn't care. Why should we care as an audience if clearly the characters don't care? And then it's all of a sudden, oh no, I love the Tuscans. And one final thing about the Baika gang,
00:36:14
Speaker
why are there so many bikers in the show? There are so many biker gangs! And you're like, what happens when the Republic – is this like George Lucas – and I know he's not in charge – but was this like George Lucas's dream for a version of Footless, setting Star Wars? You know, it's like the Empire bando speeders, and then all of a sudden, as soon as the Empire fall, oh, they've got a speeder gang! They are there, they are there! And you're like, why was this necessary?
00:36:42
Speaker
Dude, I don't get it. I don't get it, but sorry, that was a kind of nitpick. There are quite a few glaring issues. Like, is there any other issues you would like to kind of... See, I don't want to focus on the negatives, you know? Yeah, oh no, no, absolutely. See, I was watching this YouTube channel. They were talking about Book Of A Buffet. I don't remember what was the name of the video, but it didn't... it wasn't like, you know, it wasn't like something shitty, you know, it was just Book Of A Buffet, opinion or
Listener's Criticism of Director Robert Rodriguez
00:37:07
Speaker
something. I don't know, like it was something like passive, you know, like it wasn't something like very aggressive.
00:37:12
Speaker
So I watched the video, right? And a few seconds like, so the book of Boba Fett, my true opinion is that was the name of the guy who shoot the series. So there was like, the video starts in like, so Book of Boba Fett is behind us and there were some good things, but mainly Robert Rodriguez should never direct any Star Wars ever again. And he should burn in hell. I was like, what the hell?
00:37:34
Speaker
He just out of nowhere started shouting at the microphone, like, ranting about the robot, I really guess, you know? He is not a good director, like, let's face it, like, his episode in the second season of Mandalorian isn't the best, and it's the one where Boba Fett's coming back, you know? It was just full of action, you know, and he directed most of the Boba Fett series, and the actual good episodes are the ones with him not directing.
00:37:59
Speaker
like okay so he's not a good director so what? You know I'm trying to say like people make mistakes so just get over it. I think again this is one of the major issues with the show as well it's something like we have both said on this episode you know we said it's not a good series but it's not a bad series it's just somewhere uncomfortably in the middle and it's got some great stuff that's got some terrible stuff
00:38:24
Speaker
but it's like, you know one of those balancing scales where it's like it's going up and down constantly? I wouldn't say it's justified to be like, oh this is the worst thing ever, because no, there's so many things in the Star Wars universe that are so much worse looking at you, sequel trilogy, or even solo, because I think
00:38:47
Speaker
more. I actually like solo. Oh yeah, that's next time's episode. I fell asleep at solo. I'm sorry. Do you know what Star Wars movie I hate the most? Is it Attack of the Coats by any chance? No, it's a written of the Jedi. I don't like written of the Jedi. I absolutely hate written of the Jedi and it was up to me I would always keep the movie.
00:39:08
Speaker
I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of it either. I think it's okay. I think it's got some really good scenes, but seeing the whole beginning, I do not like the beginning. Maybe I just don't like Tatooine, honestly. I feel as if you go to Tatooine, then your film is pretty much doomed.
00:39:27
Speaker
You've got Phantom Menace. Even though there is some redeemer bubble tea, you've got Phantom Menace. Okay, so you want to say that New Hope was a total failure. Okay, except for that one. That's the exception. I did not like. Or not that I didn't like Return of the Jedi. I literally thought it was okay. The fight between Vader and
00:39:45
Speaker
oh yeah yeah yeah that's great like that whole sequence yeah yeah the space battle and the emperor look bader thing is brilliant but outside of that fucking i hate ewoks i can't stand ewoks i very don't like them i don't like it's like babies you know i don't know why people found them cute it's just annoying
00:40:03
Speaker
It's surprising how it took until the Mandalorian for people to be like, now here's a baby character that we can really get alongside.
00:40:18
Speaker
He's a baby and he's a Yoda. I honestly, I remember hearing about Baby Yoda before the Mandalorian came out and I was like, ah, great. Baby Yoda is going to be one of these disgustingly manufactured marketing tools. CGI monsters today. And then as soon as it came out, I was like, you sons of bitches are men. I was absolutely hooked. I was like, I know this is a CGI slash puppet.
00:40:47
Speaker
thing, but my god, they did like such a good design with it. In fact, have you seen the original design of it? Oh, it is. It is a thing like, I would honestly recommend you go look up the original design for Baby Yoda. It looks more like a mini Shrek, I think, than it does actually.
00:41:07
Speaker
Baby Yoda. But I'm getting sidetracked because it's amazing how we're like, yeah, Book of Yoda. Anyway, about Baby Yoda, and I think that is actually probably one of the issues as well. Wait, did you say Book of Yoda? I wish. I probably did, yeah. But even then, it's like I'm still thinking of Baby Yoda as opposed to Boba Finn because I think I actually put a meme on my Twitter page like that.
Memes and Fan Culture Impact
00:41:35
Speaker
where it was like you know the guys it was like the two shots the first ones the guys like sitting on the couch and they're you know they would very be amused and bored and then the second picture underneath is them all cheering on. So I had like a picture of the book of Boba Fett up and
00:41:50
Speaker
Oh yeah, I think you said it to me already. I think you said it to me, yeah. Yeah, and they look quite, you know, bemused like, oh, I don't know. And then I've got a picture of baby Yoda just beside them and they're like, yes! That is honestly how I felt throughout the series. Everything to do with the Mandalorian and baby Yoda. I was all for it. See, there's one thing that came good from the series. There are the memes. Oh yeah, absolutely. The memes that are fucking brilliant. The Polynesian spa. The Cadbein Technical Union.
00:42:17
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, Cad Bane, you knew. I like the whole scene is like so meme-worthy. You know how he shows up like every time he says a line, his head is getting bigger, you know? Yeah. So, so good. There are like videos like instead of Cad Bane or there's like Chad Bane or Small Ass Sad Bane. Have you seen those? Yeah. Oh, they're so, so good. But the best one, the best meme I've seen from the series is that Bob Offet is a cold blooded killer.
00:42:47
Speaker
And there's a montage of him, you know, failing at everything. I just, I remember I was, I was watching it in my bed, you know, my girlfriend was falling asleep and I just clicked on this video. I burst of laughter, you know, like the editing is so brilliant. It's absolutely fantastic. I'm not gonna lie, like we can't do justice describing it to you. Just look up bookable with hate memes and you'll see what we mean.
00:43:12
Speaker
Bad Ben, yeah, techno union Ben. Oh, it's brilliant. As a kind of closing point, because I know you said you didn't want to end on a kind of a low note for saying, oh, don't watch a show or anything, but would you recommend a show to people who either are just getting into Star Wars or existing fans? Would you say this is a show that you would recommend to them?
00:43:36
Speaker
Yeah, it's still Star Wars, you know? And like we said, there are lots of good things, you know? At least if you don't want to watch the series, just listen to the theme song. That's brilliant. I don't know, like I still recommend it to someone, like my cousin haven't seen it yet. Watch Book of Boba Fett, watch Book of Boba Fett, you know? Because he's also like a massive Star Wars fan, but he never does it. I would still recommend it.
00:43:55
Speaker
You wouldn't?
Would You Recommend 'Book of Boba Fett'?
00:43:56
Speaker
No, I would recommend it, but I would air a thing of caution because I feel as if if you go in watching The Mandalorian first and then you go in to watch The Book of Boba Fett. Again, it's a completely different show, it's completely different characters, and I know I've
00:44:14
Speaker
unfairly been comparing the two. I really don't want to make it as if the Mandalorian fanboy is a look at the Mandalorian helmet in the corner of the room. Hashtag this is the way. But at the same time, it's a show that's been so lovingly crafted. It's got so many Easter eggs and things in it. The Book of Boba Fett has those too. It's just a shame there was no focus. They had good ideas.
00:44:41
Speaker
and they had like, what could have been a great show. I think this is the thing that aggrieves most people. It's not the fact that it was bad in a lot of places, but more it could have been more. And it's going back to this idea of having Boba Fett purely for his namesake.
00:44:58
Speaker
I don't know if you've ever played like a RPG game or anything like that where you'll get a character who's like, oh yes this is Jim, son of John, and he's like the ultimate fighter of the kingdom or something and then throughout the entire game he's just constantly getting beat on and you're like, this guy has been built up to be like the champion, what's going on here? It's like, no no no, like he's building up to something and it might have like one cool scene but everything else it's like, ehh.
00:45:26
Speaker
and that's how I felt it was with this. It was like, I remember Boba Fett and this more as like a gentle giant rather than, and it's kind of ironic because we actually do, well he's not gentle but he's a giant, the wookie character who is cool. He is really cool. I did like his character but the thing I felt was kind of off at the end was, as you said, when they pose at the end they laugh. Very funny. Again it just,
00:45:52
Speaker
felt as if they were kind of kidding on, or not kidding on, but they were kind of hinting towards a, you know, like a spin-off series. And I bet you any money there's gonna be like a cartoon or something that's gonna come out, or there's gonna be something that comes out as a spin-off series for the mods and things. No, please no. Because they were really pushing them, and I think that's why. I mean, if Andor, the guy from
00:46:19
Speaker
Rogue One, which I have to admit even I had to look up his name when I saw that show was announced. I'm actually looking forward to the series you know like because I really like Rogue One and I think Andrew is actually a good character. Let him team up with Cobvan and take off the bike sinkers on Tatooine. But that's the thing though, if he can get a spin-off show then Cobvan shouldn't be pleasing him. Don't do that, please don't tell me there's gonna be a most TV series, I don't want to see that. There'll be, I bet he'll be a cartoon series or something.
00:46:47
Speaker
such a heart you know it to be true. I hope not but I get the feeling it's gonna be Disney being Disney but do you know what the worst part, so maybe it's ending in a slightly negative note but do you know what is the worst part of this? It's the fact that Disney are basically, I mean George Lucas was the same as well, I'm not gonna say he wasn't the fault as well, but it's the fact that this universe is so ripe
00:47:17
Speaker
for a cowboy setting.
Disappointment in Lack of Western Genre Style
00:47:19
Speaker
You had Cad Bane, you had Boba Fett, you had the Mandalorian. They're all based in Western stereotypes, and I feel as if we got blue-balled with the fact that we didn't get an actual cowboy thing.
00:47:37
Speaker
it was like kind of smidgens and it's like, come on. Maybe dead, I could get Bane, you know, shooting the Marshal, you know. Yeah, because that was so cool that scene. See, that's why I'm saying Kyle Bane should be like the main character, because just that scene alone had so much tension and there was a conflict, something that's missing the whole series, there was actual conflict, you know. Yeah, I know I said that was our final point, but there is one question
00:48:01
Speaker
I wouldn't ask you just before we finish up. Yeah, it's like a postcode scene, you know, in the Marvel movie. This is the Sat Tsunami in the back to tank scene. In a Polynesian spa. Yeah, exactly. Like a banter. Yeah, I know I've said it before, but it's so damn funny. What are your hopes for season two of the Book of Boba Fett? If
00:48:22
Speaker
they were to announce it, because I don't know whether they will or not. I don't know what they'll call it, like the books of Boba Fett. I don't know if they will, but let's say hypothetically they have announced it. Maybe they have, because at the time of recording they haven't announced anything, but what would your hopes be for a Boba Fett series going forward?
00:48:44
Speaker
I don't think there's gonna be a second season like I don't think it's gonna happen but maybe it's just gonna be one episode where Boba Fisk got killed all those kids those mob mods cuz I don't really like them and riding two rank horns no I'm afraid I have no idea I don't know what I would do you know
00:49:01
Speaker
As a talented writer I am, you know? No idea. There's like nowhere you can put the story. I don't know, like Boba Fett fighting the First Order. No, he'll be long dead by then. Sure. Please, Desnik Callamorphy's... I'm not saying that like actively then. He's already dead! Yeah, it's like, come on, his heart is tightened. Don't do it, Desnik. Just don't do it. If there's somewhere I want to see Tamara Morrison be, A is like Captain Rex's live action. Oh yeah.
00:49:44
Speaker
you know, chef kiss. Honestly, I think that the actors still did a serviceable job. They still did great with what they were doing, even with a fates actor. Again, I know you said him as Captain Riggs would be amazing, but he still did a good job with what he had.
00:49:51
Speaker
That's what I want to see, not Boba Fett.
00:50:01
Speaker
he's brilliant and mink mink was her name mink one mink nah van i had to google it she is a brilliant fan actually and you can actually see that she's like a big star wars fan yeah she was like a star wars fan since childhood or something you know so like you can see those are actually have you seen the interview where they were like
00:50:20
Speaker
Guessing what characters that you're gonna be like, you know, how's the game? I guess what your character is gonna be and she's like you can see her being all excited You know to be in the same room as Temuera Morrison, you know Temuera Morrison is always just talking about attack of the clones and how maids window get cut his head off It's a brilliant interview. Just look it up and you can see like those two I actually have passion for the series, you know Like the Star Wars as a whole just just bad directing, you know, like can be perfect all the time It happens shit happens
00:50:47
Speaker
You know? I think though that you can definitely tell that a lot of them are having fun. What I will say is, I feel as if it's like, do you know like when a child is playing with, you know, the action figures and it's like, people, I'm gonna be head of, you know, more size, like even though like it makes no sense, it kind of almost feels as if that's what the bookable buffet is like. You know, it's like, it's like a child playing with toys and it's like, oh no, it's the Mandalorian who's coming in.
00:51:15
Speaker
you know, like just all this random nonsense. And then of course has like sisters, I don't know, colorful biker dolls that have come in. It's like, oh no, it's the moulds. Yeah, the moulds, of course. And you know, making up an excuse. At the end of the day, this isn't the Mandalorian.
Final Reflections and Mixed Reception
00:51:34
Speaker
and I'm not trying to say that as a slight to anybody but it's like, it's not gonna be emotionally heart-tugging except the Mandalorian scenes ironically. It's not gonna be the perfect Star Wars media. It's not gonna be the one you're gonna be, unless you're a Die Hard Vogue Effect fan, but you're not gonna be praising it to people. But at the same time, I don't think it deserves the hate
00:51:55
Speaker
it gets. It's just it's more like a victim of not having the focus and the basis because it seems as if they had the idea there and they saw Boba Fett sitting on the throne and then they thought oh it looks cool and then that was it. It was like okay it looks cool then... Then what? Yeah then what? It was like that one and yeah they just... Someone's gonna shoot him. Yeah exactly no.
00:52:20
Speaker
So if Cad Bane shot Boba Fett, would that make him the director? No, but he wasn't sitting on the throne. He must be sitting on the throne. Oh, of course. I mean, Jabba was sitting on the throne technically. Ah, yeah. Well, the barge. Okay, so in that case, is in Princess Leia then the rifle ruler of the Jabba Deha Empire? Are you trying to justify this like in the Darksaber rules?
00:52:44
Speaker
I mean, she did kill him and he was sitting on the bed, technically. Maybe it must be the specific throne, I don't know. Yeah, Tatooine politics are weird. One thing I will say, sorry, just touching on Tatooine politics, see the advisor. Oh, I hate him. I don't like him, yeah. That's all I wanted to say about that.
00:53:03
Speaker
I'm not going to expand on it though, how well to the actor and anything. I just didn't like his character. The actor was horrible as well, just shooting. Not actually in that movie. No, no, no, just really in the movie. But at the end of the day though, it is Star Wars. Star Wars has become the marmite of sci-fi.
00:53:21
Speaker
right now. You're either gonna love what they're bringing out or you're gonna hate it, but for what it's worth, I don't think it's worth all the vitriol that people are through. You're right, it's not worth all the people like, you know, tearing out their hair and things. Like, there's a lot of stupid things, you know? Like, I watch it and go, what the hell was that? But that's it. There's just worse things to worry about than whether or not Boba Fett's taken over Tatooine. Look at the bright side now, right? The book of Boba Fett is finished. So what's next? An Obi-Wan TV series?
00:53:48
Speaker
on Tatooine again. Exactly. I have hopes. I have a new hope as it were. I mean of course it's gonna be good. It's gonna be Ewan McGregor, you know, the Scottish lad. It's gonna have Hayden Christensen in it. It can be a failure. It can be worse than Book of Boba Fett. Or the same level as Book of Boba Fett. It just can't be. And actually a confident director as well.
00:54:12
Speaker
it's actually said with the cast of this series the fact that Ewan McGregor and I'm assuming Hayden Christensen are fans of the series and you can tell that like Ewan McGregor does have a passion for Star Wars and things. So I'll be excited to see what he brings to it. This is probably going to date the episode but either you're listening to this and the series has gone absolutely fantastic or it's an utter train wreck. But at least it's not the book of Boba Fett so I'll leave it at that.
00:54:43
Speaker
I would celebrate the end of Book of Boba Buffet, not as a failure, but as a thing. Everyone who's listened to this episode, they should watch this video. It's called Catbane Dinesby's Auto-Tune. Watch that as a celebration of the end of Book of Boba Buffet. I have watched that video as well. You will not regret it. That's so good. So, so, so good. On that note, thank you Jan so much for once again jumping into Star Wars episode with me because I know whenever I need to talk about Star Wars,
00:55:12
Speaker
And every time you choose someone else, I get offended. Exactly. I was going to say, I would choose Craig, but they'd be like, nah, what's the Star Wars? Nah. But you are the best person. He still haven't seen the Clone Wars, so. I mean, it's a good scene. He's Craig. Get on it. You're being called out publicly. Well, I think he's done. I'm not sure now, to be honest.
00:55:33
Speaker
I think I watched some of it. You know what, I'm gonna go and ask him right now, but see as I go and ask him whether or not he's seen the Clone Wars.
