EFAP Mini: Reacting to The Book of Boba Fett S01E03 - The Power Rangers of Mos Vespa

[@omnishyguy]

I remember that back when Disney's acquisition of Star Wars was announced, Robot Chicken made a sketch where a character bemoaned that the whole franchise would be simplified, defanged, and overall bastardized. I hate how right it was.

[@kavinskysmith4094]

that isnt an isolated incident, Blue Collar TV made a sketch about them changing the flag on the general lee to make the show more politically correct in jest in the very early 2000's as well too, with them not only flat out changing the flag, but also turning daisy duke into a gay guy with the new flag being that of the gay pride flag kind of a forerunner of what has happened with alot of female charachters nowadays actually, like they kept the gender the same, but flipped the sex and then removed the sex apeal while making everyone gay by default granted this was in the early 2000's so the flag they switched it to wasnt the ugly new one they use now but still, atleast now we can like rainbows again without people thinking we're gay now and I think more than a few mad TV skits have come to pass as well too, still cant believe they actually had Debra Wilson play an unironic horrible version of herself from the black dolomite meets Black Belt Jones sketch in Wolfenstein 2 just without the funny and played completely straight to boot too. and the biggest kicker was at the time I was like why is this woman acting exactly like that black b'itch from the dolomite sketch on mad tv, only to then look it up and find out why, and it was right down to the afro too.

[@SwiftNimblefoot]

And then they bowed to the Disney overlords and when they did any SW parody since then, they do not mock what a Mary Sue Rey is, or how unlikely it is for Palpatine to have survived, they are passing all the low hanging fruits and doing cringey parodies.

[@cherrychocolate1434]

That genuinely felt like a scene out of a parody show. Like, imagine two people having a fist fight in an armory full of guns. Maybe the two fighters take some wooden staves off the walls that are hanging behind two mounted Beretta 1301's and then clash with them a few times before they both get knocked away somehow. And it would end by one person picking up a shotgun, before pulling a tiny knife out of a little compartment on the gun and throwing it into the other person. That is just about what happened in this episode with very little exaggeration.

Star Wars is like your grandpa. When you were a kid, your grandpa was really cool and the two of you got along great. You spent a lot of time at grandpa's house and he was very influential on the way you grew up and the person you became. But time has not been kind to grandpa and in 2012 he was diagnosed with Dismentia. It began to slowly eat away at his brain and destroy who he was. Now grandpa has good days and bad days. The sequel trilogy was when the Dismentia was at its worst. Your grandpa was ranting and raving like a madman, and it broke your heart to see. What happened to the kind man who taught you what it meant to be a good person, and who was this screaming lunatic wearing his face? The Mandalorian and Boba Fett are when the Dismentia isn't as bad. Your grandpa is smiling and laughing and he seems happy, but he's still babbling incoherently and has no idea who the hell you are because his brain is stuck somewhere 40 years in the past. It's not as painful to watch, but it sure as hell isn't good and you wouldn't wish it on anyone. Now all that's left is to try and focus on the memories of the good times and ignore what's happening now while you wait for the sad but inevitable end that, if you're honest with yourself, can't come soon enough. Rest in peace, Star Wars.

Once again, Boba's ethics aren't constant at all. He killed the biker gang in the last ep after he saw them steal from farmers, but here he is suddenly employing a gang who has done the exact same - what's up with the writing?! Plus, the poor youth, who is being betrayed when it comes to their monthly pay, can't be THAT poor if they have the money to repair themselves (a high tech arm, a knife-foot, an eye-replacement and so forth) and having those new fancy speeder bikes. The action was horrendous as there was no build-up and it was as quickly resolved as it began. The Hutts just ditch the planet and hand over a Rancor AND in Addition the best bounty hunter to their up-and-coming competitor? That's just absurd. More so, it's absurd that Boba just freed the Wookie, who simply ran away. Have the writers forgotten about the concept of a life-debt in Wookie culture? Finally, the production budget has really taken a big dump it seems, as they made some cheap looking speeder bikes that would fit right into the Teletubbies-show. I like the fact that the Rancor-trainer seems to see the Rancor as just another animal with its own character traits and mannerisms (which is a nice nod to the heartfelt relationship between the original Rancor and his Keeper), but they made the Rancor no longer JUST an animal, but some kind of pet that seems to suffer from depression a lot. Way to destroy another Legends character Disney! I'm glad the Tusken tribe was erased and this plotpoint is finally resolved. I was worried the writers wanted for Boba to suffer from Stockholm Syndrom (they towed him to the point of collapse, kept him in the sun, let their Kids beat him up and yet he willingly became their enforcer to collect Tribute from the Pike syndicate) which would have been a horrible plot for this series.

The entire Wookie assassination scene is golden. It legitimately should be renown as another "jumping the shark" moment in media. Instead of: Electrocuting Boba in the tube of water Feeding Boba carbon monoxide through the oxygen tube Holding the tube closed and simply cutting the oxygen Grabbing some sort of projectile weaponry, a few feet away, out in the open, in the very same room, opening the tube and shooting Boba Using the weaponry the Wookie himself brought The Wookie decides he's going to throw Boba around a little bit until Bobas' cavalcade of angsty teenagers rushes in, none having any sort of ranged - instantly killing weaponry either(also not trying to grab the easily accessible instantly killing weapons previously mentioned). I haven't been frustrated by a show being completely driven by the idiocy of the characters since Netflixs' Dracula.

One day he will ride the rancor from Jabba's palace to Mos Eisley (roughly 80km by Expanded Universe standards, imagine you have to walk that carrying two Hutts), followed by his side kicks; the Pig Boys, Sniper lady (who will likely betray him) and the Rainbow Riders.

Jesus I've watched this three times now and I can't believe this. Boba Fett in Attack of the Clones is more competent than in this show. I just got finished watching Empire Strikes Back and I'm convinced that these are two different characters. Boba Fett in Empire has four lines of dialogue. "As you wish." "He's no good to me dead." "What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me." "Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold." When you watch him in Empire, you get the impression that he's very guarded, pragmatic, and efficient. He shoots at Luke long enough for the crew to get Solo to the ship. When he's a safe enough distance away Boba retreats. He doesn't need to fight Luke. There's no bounty and the one on Solo is his primary concern. Compare this with this show. This guy gets into pointless fights, gets beaten up and thrown around on top of making horrible decisions. He also speaks in non sequiturs. One gets the impression he's not an intelligent person. Hell, he doesn't even use his gun. he doesn't use his jetpack to get a good vantage point. he doesn't even take cover. How are the viewers supposed to care if the the protagonist is this stupid?

I have several questions: Why was Boba next to a stormtrooper in the Sarlacc stomach? In RotJ, Jabba's guards were all Weequay, Nikto, and Klatooinians. Also, stormtroopers on Tatooine were dressed different. What makes Tatooine so valuable to criminals? It seems the only criminal activity that has been mentioned so far has been protection rackets and spice transport. We don't know specifically why Tatooine is important. Forgiving the fact that the Wookie assassin tried to kill Boba with NO WEAPONS, why did the Wookie opt to throw Boba around the room instead of just crush his throat? Once a Wookie has his hands around your neck, that should be it. Why don't the Gamorrean guards have guns? Why did Boba hire a bunch of cringy hover bikers when he has no idea what their capabilities are? All of their cyborg "weapons" are next to useless.

Boba could tell from the moment that they stared each other down that the Wookie was just as stupid as he is so he didn't worry about it. Could have just ripped his head off right when he grabbed him by the throat but no, let's throw him around and make tons of noise for absolutely no reason.

I like how the hutts arrived at his front door after sending a bounty hunter to kill him, without guards or any sort of protection, without a ship or even a puny little speeder.

The action in Boba Fett is on par with a live-action Disney stunt show. Why did Boba need a Bantha, were all the speeders get destroyed? The bikes are more like 1960s British MOD scooters in Mos Vespa. Also, I'm going to call it now. The Rancor is already trained to kill Boba.

[@Longshanks1690]

As someone who has generally been enjoying the show so far…this episode was absolutely awful. Let’s start with what is actually my biggest problem with the show; Boba the passive ruler. This man is NOT Boba Fett. He should have been making alliances, recruiting pirates and soldiers and taking names from the second he made his claim to be Daimyo, which everyone accepts for some reason? It just seems like everyone is humouring him by giving him money as “tribute” so he doesn’t bother them but he’s not a serious threat. He does not command the presence he did in ESB, and certainly does not live up to the legacy in either Legends or Canon comic books. He’s just a guy who is there and does nothing, and if you didn’t know who Boba Fett was, you’d have no reason to care about him. The idea of Boba doing what Maul did in creating a second Shadow Collective is one of the most insanely cool ideas you could do, and the setting gives you ALL the opportunity to show the Star Wars underworld in all its gritty glory… but they haven’t taken advantage of it at all and that really, REALLY pisses me off. Next, we have who I’m going to refer to as the “We’re out of here” Twins… because why the hell are they here? Why did they bother with a masterfully suspenseful scene last episode if we’re just going to undo all that progress now by having them leave? Why not have the Pyke Syndicate be the antagonist from the start? Wouldn’t that make the most sense rather than wasting our time - and the budget I’m sure - with these Hutt characters we’ve never seen before. It’s just such a strange choice to introduce and then discard them rather than keep all the focus on the Pykes, who have enough wealth and power to challenge Boba on their own terms if they wanted to usurp Jabba. Then we have Black Krrsantan being absolutely wasted, and even if you don’t know who he is and just think he’s a big, black Wookiee, this is still a letdown. Rather than plunging his hand into the bacta tank and choking Boba to death right there, he throws him around for no reason and has an incredibly unimpressive and slow moving fight scene with piss poor choreography, which only becomes insulting when you realise the REAL BK would rip all their heads of in two minutes as the plot armour is saving everyone here. Unironically, it would have established BK as an actual threat if he had killed all the teenagers within ten minutes of their first appearance and made this a much better episode, and I’m not just saying that because I don’t like them but trust me, we’ll get there! Next, we have the Tuskens being killed off… for absolutely no reason. Why did they spend an entire episode making us care about them just to kill then offscreen next week? I really don’t get this. I assumed the Tuskens would turn out to be Boba’s foot soldiers, and that’s why the flashbacks were necessary but if they’re all dead now… what was the point? Why spend so much time when you could have had Boba escape in the first episode and the story would remain virtually unchanged? It is so shocking and comes out of absolutely nowhere and feels like a choice made because they didn’t know what to do. Or, even worse, they want Boba to have a personal reason to want revenge against the Pykes because “This is for my tribe!” Or some cringe shit, and not just because he’s a ruthless bounty hunter who shouldn’t care about all that. They are allergic to showing Boba as ruthless, they want him to have a heart of gold and while Boba does have honour in most depictions of him, he was not like this and it again feels like they either don’t understand what people expect from him, or are too afraid to let that come to life. Whatever the case, it’s another missed opportunity for a series with potential like this. And now we come to them… the cyberpunk teenagers. Everyone else already knows why they look and feel wrong for Star Wars, and especially Tattoine but there’s one angle I want to explore here; this could almost work. See, most people seem to be in agreement these guys _could_ fit on Coruscant or Nar Shadaa so why not have them be from there but the New Republic is driving them off world so they came looking for opportunities in the Outer Rim? Perfect place for some world building, and Boba could gather more gangs like this looking for work under him this way… but nah, it’s just these dorky kids for whatever reason. But in the midst of all this, there is ONE particularly stupid moment no one else seems to be mentioning; “Rancors imprint on the first human they see.” …What? Humans and Rancors evolved on completely separate worlds and completely separate climates, what fucked up evolutionary process made RANCORS subservient to humans??? That just makes absolutely no sense at all! Why would they have that, what purpose would it serve to serve creatures one hundredth their size they could have for a snack?! You also robbed us of showing Boba as a badass by taming the rancor in the first place so it grows to fear him not because he stood there like an idiot but because of what he did but again, that would require Boba doing things worth fearing and in a show where he hasn’t fired his gun ONCE, that doesn’t seem very likely. And finally… we have the worst car chase in history. You know why this is awful, I don’t need to explain it. Go go power vespas indeed. 🙄 Here’s hoping Rodriguez never gets another directing role cos he clearly doesn’t mesh with Star Wars at all.

[@salamander8736]

You explained my thoughts perfectly, i found the first 2 episodes really good but this one like...just, what the hell?

[@Fujtajblus]

I am starting to get worried again about what is to come with the TV shows. I enjoyed Mandalorian even though EFAP panel dislikes it fondly. This show is just ... it is almost as if Ruin Johnson got to it and created it. Characters are stupid, they do retareded decisions, plot points make no sense, characters are not actually what they are supposed to be, the world does not behave how it should because it was probably written by a teenager who has no clue of crime and mafia relationships work. 2/10. Costumes are nice, locations are nice, Even the sound effects, like punching is just that reguler "pkchs" from Walker Texas Ranger. I did not even know Rodriguez was involved in this, I think I need to read the end credits more. His episode in the Mandalorian were Boba appeared was absolutely attrocious. It was the most idiotic episode there was. It actually makes me think that it could be part of this series of how imbecilistic it was. Feneck or what's her name running across the rocks instead of taking cover, Mando not having the jetpack to go save baby Yoda, horrible fight scenes with wanna-be cool moments. Please no. It makes me think Disney is just trying to make this fail even more. It makes me think now tat Jon Favreau had it written like high level ... like yea wookie goes to the palace and fights Boba. And Ruindrigez takes it and is like .. you know what would be hella cool, if we end a flashback by the wooking grabbing Boba by the neck, yeah' Jon has it written here anyways, let's go. What the fuck. Why don't people fucking think for 5 seconds if the shit they wrote makes any sense.... jesus fucking crist. I know it is not easy, I was writing a book and after 30 pages I realized one of the main characters was supposed to be an expert on something, therefore should know about X thing. But the X thing happened and it did not even cross their minds it could happen. Well guess what I did, basically had rewrite that whole shit. Which sucks dicks and duck balls. Anyways... Star Wars is going to shit again.

[@edwardirwin3478]

Maul and Pre Vizsla were better crime lords than Boba Fett

[@999999SkyGuy]

Nice in-depth paragraphs. I certainly didn't enjoy the first two episodes. The gun train, the strange fight with the sand monster & the illegitimate behaviour from Boba towards the Tusken Raiders took me out of the experience. Furthermore firing a rocket at shields was a terrible choice for an experienced bounty hunter. How could you survive in this barbaric world for fourty five years? I don't believe it retroactively that you survived this long. For me, Boba's character is already "dead" since he was portrayed using his father's helmet as a trap & even suddenly starts working with Aura Sing (in TCW (2008-2013) compared to the excellent Boba Fett trilogy EU books). He despised Lady Sing before. That's why the show is unable to destroy much from my angel of looking at the state of things. Anyways, I'm still disappointed. "No, disintegration" was a line from Vader specifically adressed towards Boba. I get the sense - well we did similar things with Mando. We can't show this useful sniper rifle again used by another bounty hunter. Considering Jon wrote both stories & created Din Djarin this feels like they deliberately hold Boba back. Well, four episodes left in this season hopefully they proof us wrong. I agree Boba needs to be an active ruler.
