New Streaming: The Book of Boba Fett- Episodes 1-4

 With a new Star Wars Show coming, we might as well look at the last one.

Why am I not just doing the last 3 Episodes?  
If you don't know, you'll know.

The Show takes place after Season 2 of The Mandalorian, which re-introduced Fett into the Continuity.  Now that he's back, he wants to run a City.

Will it be that simple?
Let's Skip Intro and find out...

Fett and his Second-in-Command- another former Bounty Hunter named Fennec Shand- have ousted the person that took over after Jabba The Hutt's death.

Yep, we're deep in that 'between the Originals and the New Films' Timeline.  No reason to complain about TLJ here!

During the Episodes, we are treated- some people feel like I used the wrong word- to extensive flashbacks.

The idea is to show how Fett survived, lost his armor and got put back in place to show up in the other Show.

It goes deep into, for lack of a better word, humanizing the Sand People.  No, really.

Drama arises on all sides, of course.

Can they deal with the local Politician?
How about the Business Tycoons?
Outside threats?

It all seems to come to a head as a big time Cartel that deal drugs wants Fett gone.

Can he unite the other Criminal Warlords...or will someone else need to join in.

To find out, stream the Episodes now.

A good Show, even if people will continue to argue about the Pacing.  I'm not here to necessarily say that they're wrong...but I didn't mind.  There's a whole 'Prestige TV' thing where you can usually take a Story that fills 2 Episodes and realistically squeeze them into one.

For better or worse, Boba Fett has a deliberate way of telling its Story.  I didn't find the Flashbacks too bad, which I know is a real bone of contention with some people.  They told you a Story that needed to be told.  To be fair, the same people usually talk about how they don't like the changes to Fett...which are setup in the Flashbacks.

These early Episodes do make sure to mine nostalgia, but it's not too overt...so far.  Give them time.

The Show, as stated, might seem a bit slow and deliberate, but I think its worth the time to see how they can flesh out Fett.  Let's be honest- he was a cool outfit and mystery, but that was it.  Let's see if Disney can dig their way out of their recent messes with the Franchise.

Next time, the rest of the Season.  See how one new (not) face can change everything.  Is it for the better?  Stay tuned...
