THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT (PART 1/3) REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@mikeycham3643]

I think if you were an angsty teen on Tatooine, bright colours would be the ultimate rebellion.

[@gazzamanazza4pm]

If you're wondering about that lizard-induced hallucination sequence with the Rain and the tree and the flashbacks to Boba's youth on Kamino, it's been said that Tatooine was once a watery garden world full of plants including the Gaffi Tree from which the Tuskens make their iconic Gaffi stick weapons. The lizard guided Boba to one of the last remaining Gaffi Trees, allowing him to craft his own Gaffi stick. A lot of people really hate this show. I personally like it, though I don't love it like I do the other recent shows we've had from Star Wars. I liked seeing the Tusken culture being fleshed out, and delving a bit deeper into Boba's side, seeing how he's looking for a (slightly) less violent future than the life he led as a bounty hunter. I could take or leave the biker mod gang stuff, and there are some parts of the writing that could be stronger, but I still had fun overall.

[@cowboy1165]

It's called a "Bacta tank," Addie. If you remember, they put Luke Shywalker in one when Han saved him on Hoth the ice planet, and when Vader was in the one on the Kenobi series. I know it's going slow but it picks up much better from here on. Black Krrsantan (the wookie) and Fennec Shand are important characters in the STAR WARS universe. There are comic books just on them. It's looking good so far, Addie, and I can't wait until you've finished it.

[@snack_bar2474]

People often said this show made Boba Fett “soft” or not nearly as cool as he was before. I’d argue that this show gave us his human side, adding to his badassery.

[@Thelordofloneliness]

True but I don’t want his human side I want the brutal cut throat side

[@merchillio]

I had the same thoughts

[@tylerbrown5526]

THIS. It made him a real, deeper character instead of a cardboard cutout of a badass.

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

People made up an imaginary character in their heads, modeled after '70s and '80s action movie protagonists (Dirty Harry, for example). They imagined him as the stereotypical badass who shoots a lot, doesn't talk much and has zero character development. And then they got upset that it turned out to be different from the character in their head. 🤷‍♂️

[@Tabaskospecial]

He was also much different than the Boba we saw in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Nearly dying in the sarlaac pit changed him for the better

[@XPoeticRenegadeX]

Book of Boba Fett is an absolutely killer show. Don't pay attention to the naysayers. Love it.

[@jonathanmurphy3141]

The Tusken rituals, proving your worth to the tribe, making your weapon, ritual dance, and such -I am sure that Temerua M' as a Maori, of New Zealand, was pivotal in his working as Boba Fett. The two humans at the bar, are Cammie and Fixer, two old friends of Luke and Biggs, whose scenes were cut from the first movie, yet freely available to view now (they were included in novel and comic. If Sammie had been in the film, there would have been three Women in the first film ;) The scenes of Luke meeting his friends, and Biggs saying he wanted to leave the academy for the Rebellion,...would have broken up the initial battle over Tatooine, and revealed there were humans before the Jawas pulled up at the Lars ranch. Nice to see these two return -yet, different actors. The actress who played Sammie, Koo Stark, became a soft-core Porn actress, and had an affair with Prince Andrew of England, in the early 80's. She now attends SciFi conventions, and lives a normal life. ;) The Pike Syndicate, you will see more of in SW: Solo, and some of the animated series. The modified youths on speeders, one of the controversy of this show, are based on Mods of England in the Sixties -stylish clothes, groovy music, European Scooters -these cyborgs, I like the idea, or another cultural influence. And, Danny Trejo, as the Rancor Trainer -so awesome!!

[@raulportela3039]

You'll probably get a lot of comments talking shit about this series but I thought it was really well done. Sure it has its issues, but it gave us some really good character development and sets up a lot for the future

[@SherriLyle80s]

I agree. And the Mandalorian was slow the first season too. I'm going to be patient and hold my tongue. It could be way worse. The show Willow is god-awful.

[@Erfedwe]

@@SherriLyle80s I like Willow, but agree that it has issues. And to be fair, the original movie was cheesy as well, and Warwick couldn't act to save his life. That said, it was fun and that's all that really matters.

[@NateL1992]

My biggest gripe with this show is the scooter gang. Its just way too overthetop for me. Too colourful and...earthlike. Idk how to explain it

[@thepyromantic3468]

@@NateL1992 That's why they make sense though. When first watching it I hated them too but didn't take me long to realise it's actually one of the best bits of culture shown in the franchise. SW was originally basically WW2 in space and what happened right after WW2? The kids that lived threw it grew up and launched the Greaser and MOD movements that this gang are very much inspired by, which cherished their Hot-rods, Bikes and Mopeds that were usually extremely colourful and well looked after. They were especially common in more crime heavy places. With the logic that SW has always followed it makes complete sense for teens / young adults to start gangs like this after the Empire fell, especially on remote crime riddled planets like Tatooine. Visually it might stand out a bit too much but logically it's bloody brilliant. It's also nice to have some alternative culture representation in a major franchise cos it's pretty uncommon especially in sci fi.

[@chuckrothans7535]

@Addie Counts I'm glad that you are reacting to Book of Boba Fett. The hutt twins were sincere when they gave Boba Fett a rancor, he managed to survive and capture their best bounty hunter krrsantan also the hutt twins were lied to by the mayor, they believed that they had the right to claim jabba's territory, but really the mayor wanted the hutt twins and Boba fett to go to war with each other while he and the pykes take over.

[@william_santiago]

The scene at 17:06 is a nod to the deleted scene from A New Hope where Luke meets his friends at Tosche Station. The man and woman in this scene are Luke's friends, Laze and Camie Loneozner (married couple). Suggesting this scene is set at Tosche Station. The names of the characters suggest the same, though their full names are not used.

[@ortizmo]

The overly colorful speeder bikes stood out to me as well upon first viewing. But it dawned on me later that they were meant as a callback to George Lucas' days growing up in Modesto, Ca in the 60's (see "American Graffiti") then it all made sense. It's space opera, folks. Don't take it too seriously. Great reaction video. Glad you are viewing with an open mind.

[@agp11001]

Love the Chieftain at 12:00. This wordless gesture that still says a lot. "Yeah, the young one's full of shit, we all know what happened, but let him have his moment. YOU... drink up."

"Wanna beer?"

[@GuanoLad]

Robert Rodriguez was the showrunner for the Book Of Boba Fett series. The Rancor Keeper is played by Danny Trejo, who is a very popular actor in Rodriguez's movies.

[@onionwielder9728]

I didn't really think Wookies could raise their eyebrows either. Until this guy came along. He's the Dwayne Johnson of Wookies with those brows.

[@HellBrYnger]

on the colourful swoop bike gang-thing, i bet at the time of scripting/storylining many of the people involved were trying to get in the mood, so they played the latest game out there at the time, SW:TOR. do i need to explain further?

[@Bodyknock]

One of my favorite things in both The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett is how they've fleshed out the Tusken's to be more than just one dimensional bad guys in the background. Showing them as indigenous tribes that are sometimes rivals with the settlers in their territory is a nice touch to the lore.

[@philrob1978]

Glad you're doing this - well, you have to - but I genuinely loved this part of the series. I love all the Fett/Tusken stuff, it's really wonderful and about as "Star Wars" as it gets in that context. Also it confirms something for me that I've believed for nearly 40 years, that the Rancor are not monsters - the handling of that is really touching. The primary coloured biker gang is somewhat misjudged, but that doesn't detract too much for me. Strap yourself in though Addie, you're in for a ride!

[@steventagawa6959]

24:24 That's a B'omarr Monk. They were the builders and original residents of Jabba's Palace, about 700 years ago. They believed in cutting themselves off from all physical sensations, so the most enlightened of them had their brains removed and put in little jars, which were carried around by those little spider droids.

[@michaelhoward142]

It's been so cool watching as you've become such a Star Wars fan. It has helped remind me of my own journey over the past 45 (!) years. Yes, I am THAT old! Damn! Thanks so much, Addie! 🤗

[@aTofuJunkie]

Both Temeura Morrison (Boba Fett, Aquaman's Dad) and Rita Owen who played the tall White Alien in the clone facility in Attack Of The Clones, are New Zealander Actors who worked together in a NZ indie film, "Once Were Warriors" (1994) very emotional film about domestic abuse. Also based on a book. Temeura Morrison is a very underrated actor.

[@Linerunner99]

So glad you're watching this now. It's a lot better than most give it credit for and the second half of the season is some of the best Star Wars since the originals.

[@FrankJReynolds]

There were lots of Star Wars comics, novels, video games, etc. since the 80s that showed Boba Fett escaping from the Sarlacc pit. None of the stories had him dying in the pit, he always survived. No one wanted that to be the end of Boba Fett.

[@MrZAP17]

There were enough stories that they made it canon that he went down twice and escaped twice! Guy couldn't keep away from that sarlacc.

[@FrankJReynolds]

@@MrZAP17 Hah, that I didn’t know.

[@davemcbroom695]

About time Addie. I have been waiting patiently to watch Boba Fett with you.

[@PaulLoh]

As a desert dweller myself, I can tell you that the arid climate is actually well suited for the preservation of fancy vehicles. More humid environments can cause rust for vehicles rather quickly. Here in Arizona, we have lots of classic cars. It's not unusual to see cars from the 50's and the like just driving down the road like they're just going to the grocery store. So, it's not a surprise to see the colorful speeder bikes of Boba's gang on Tatooine.

[@JBWinter]

I'm from Mississippi and yeah, the coast practically eats cars. The further you are from it, the longer your vehicle's gonna last

[@senzanome7302]

31:27 regarding the OT rancor and it’s trainer I don’t remember if it was confirmed to be true or not but there was a comic where the trainer had actually planned a way to escape with the rancor and be somewhere else far from Jabba and the plan was to supposed to happen some time after Luke appeared in the palace, shortly after he shows up Luke kills the rancor and it is set free but in a different way the trainer had hoped for

[@ChrisReise]

Here's something to help you out with the timeline. The flashback of Boba Fett escaping the stomach of the Sarlaac and his armour being stolen is shortly after "Return of the Jedi"...possibly happening DURING the film. The MAIN storyline of "Boba Fett" takes place during the same time as "The Mandalorian" and throughout the episodes you will see how they tie into each other.

[@Imyerda]

The steak dinner looked lovely 😂

[@anthonydean1743]

Black Krrsantan was a welcomed surprise from the Marvel Star Wars comics and we even see the scar on his face that was given to him by Obi-Wan. Also another little Easteregg the couple we see at the bar that Boba saves from the bikers are friends of Luke Skywalker that are in a deleted scene from A New Hope.

[@davidbergfors6820]

0:57 yes, we all thought Boba Fett was dead, until we saw him there in the beginning of Mandalorian season 2. 12:05 I guess that's what happens when you spend some time in a sarlaccs acidic stomach. 24:13 Up until this point, we've only seen Tusken Raiders as a menace. it was interesting to see a different side of them.

[@Ben-Hollingbery]

The wookie is named Black Krysanten, he's a comic book character who was kidnapped by the trandoshans and forced into being a gladiator

[@MrGBH]

I would highly recommend other shows/movies featuring Ming-Na Wen. She is absolutely incredible. Such shows are Agents of SHIELD, Street Fighter: The Movie and Disney's Mulan And yes, that means she's the only person to be a Disney Princess, a Marvel character and a Star Wars character

[@doctornope]

Oh God I forgot about the scooter patrol chase scene

[@HellBrYnger]

the intro to BoBF sure has some 13th warrior/outlander vibes to it, which i think fits perfectly

[@MikeHesk742]

Yeah a lot of people dont like the bright colourful bikes. Apparently it's a reference to retro street gangs IRL, but they dont suit the Tatooine aesthetic at all so I'm not sure how "they're a reference" really justifies their presence. I agree, if it was another planet like Coruscant then yeah they'd fit in pretty well.

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

The fact that they "don't fit" with everything else on the planet *IS* the concept. They're a rebellious new generation that rebels to the standards of the previous one. *Of course* they're not gonna look like the rest. 😉

[@erikbjelke4411]

One of the main gripes I think people have with the show is they went in expecting "Star Wars does The Godfather," and got "Star Wars does Dances With Wolves." The show is really both of those, so if you tuned in for one story and had no interest in the other, I get how that could rub you the wrong way. I like both stories, so I thought it was just fine. At least going by the original novelization, Jabba's rancor was mistreated, penned up, and starved unless Jabba wanted to feed someone to it, living a miserable existence. The keeper really did care for it, tried to sneak it extra food and even planned an escape for them both, I think, before Luke had to kill it. Basically, Jabba wanted a big, scary monster, and made his rancor into exactly that. The cyborg hover scooter gang is a reference to British "Mod" culture, people who like riding around on customized and very colorful scooters. I like them, they do stand out on Tattooine, and that's the point. More specifically, that's *their* point, they want to look out of place and be the opposite of what everyone else is. That's what a counter-culture does.

[@spacezombie13]

they don't mention it in the show, but Krrsantan and Boba have worked before in the comics, both being bounty hunters and all. that may have been a factor in boba releasing him and giving him the advice to not work for assholes (given working for Jabba is what led to him being left in the sarlacc pit)

[@robmarconi6758]

He's a crime lord who does no crime. And that was the slowest car chase ever

Another great set of reactions!

[@futuramayeah]

Addie, when the third ? episode came out, people were calling the kids on the different colored mopeds, the Power Rangers, because of their multi colored bikes. and like you said were very shiny for Tatooine. i said it in an Ivan Ooze voice when i saw them, if you've ever seen their live action movie.

[@jarsky]

FYI they say his 'litter' because thats the terminology used for what the Hutts were carried on and their entourage. Its a term of respect. The Hutts are a notoriously powerful family across the galaxy. They amassed large wealth through their impressive stature and strength, and their cunning intelect. Jabba was one who indulged and got fat and lazy. The Hutts are essentially the Mafia of the Galaxy in the SWU, theyre a large crime family/syndicate.

[@jarsky]

30:30 The "Witches of Dathomir" thats the planet that Darth Maul from Episode 1 is from. He is a Zabrak from Dathomir. The planet is part of the game Jedi: Fallen Order. Fantastic game if you enjoy Star Wars

[@ericdaoust1656]

That 1.5 miles per hour bike chase was sooooooooo amazingly awful!!!

[@MikeWood]

Black Krrsantan - the wookie, and the Rancor were among the stand outs in these episodes. The Power Ranger speeder bike gang... were not. I was waiting for your reaction to the the nose lizard incident. Didn't disappoint. :)

[@passionsquietrage]

I don't get why people had an issue with that gang when they made sense. Think of it this way: the OT was basically WW2 in space. What happened after WW2 ended? The kids that lived through it started the Greater and MOD movement of the 1950s and 60s. They cherished their hot rods, motorcycles, and mopeds and kept them well looked after as well as fairly colorful. The speeder gang was a nod to that. It makes logical sense that kids would form gangs like that after the empire fell, especially in remote crime riddled places like Tatooine.

[@M1cha3lP]

I appreciate that you don't edit out all your quirky little mistakes and mispronunciations. It adds a lot of character and fun to each video.

[@dsc5754]

A lot of people complained about the speeder gang not knowing the were inspired by 60's British scooter gangs. Also there are many families on Tatooine who have people. Boba Fett has to build his family with people no one else has already bought not only for numbers but for loyalty reasons as well.

I know it's no longer canon, but I would love for her to check out the OG Clone Wars cartoon from Genndy Tartakovsky too, though it's a very different vibe and she may not enjoy it as much. But it's got some amazing action sequences and has very short episodes so she could get through it quite quickly.

[@danielgibson7948]

The way I see the really brightly colored and dressed up biker gang is that they're like small town kids who dream of the big city life. They live in dusty old Tattooine, but they present like they're going to a rave on Coruscant.

No amount of cleaning is going to keep them shiny for long. Apart from that, I actually rather enjoyed this series.

[@manuelvillacana9284]

I love this show and I think the only reason why there's people who don't like it is because they were expecting him to be super evil like they really believe that Disney was going to have them come out and killing kids like Anakin did in the Kenobi show 😏👍

Boba wouldn't have survived the Sarlacc pit without his beskar armor. However his skin was damaged in areas. The show isn't as good as the Mandalorian, but it has some good moments. I still enjoyed it. However the teen "power rangers" on their brightly colored star wars version of Vespa scooters is hilarious. Anything colorful and shiny is clearly rare on Tatooine.

For a while there, it seemed like hating The Book Of Boba Fett was the professional Star Wars haters' latest fraternity hazing prank. "This sucks! 'Boba Fett sucks! Disney sucks! Star Wars sucks!" It got tiresome very quickly. I'm looking forward to your reactions to the next episodes in the series. It starts out good, and just keeps getting better. The revelation that the Tuskens are a complex, sophisticated people with a rich culture and a strong sense of honor is one of the best things about the show.

If you want a high body count, go watch The Punisher series. I liked this series, and contend getting swallowed, partly digested, then went from slave to honored member of a clan, has an effect on a man. YMMV.

[@Do0msday]

I enjoyed this show. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. I think it has its place in the Star Wars universe. I like how Boba shows a softer, more peaceful side. He wants conflicts to end with as little bloodshed as possible and wants to do things the right way rather than through force whenever possible. Keep in mind he was a bounty hunter and paid to do everyone's dirty work and now he wants to be the one at the top and not resort to those tactics. It does feel like the show was rushed a little at times and boy did I hate that colorful mod/biker gang group. I think they were pointless and really changed the tone of the show. Too distracting.

[@sleggo]

Addie, I like your content. One request; the bright white backdrop is hard on the eyes, especially behind darker scenes. Could you please darken the backdrop or Change it? Thanks.

[@nightshade7240]

I think the best part of the series was the Tusken parts. I enjoyed this series but this doesn't feel like the Boba Fett from the extended universe. Which is fine but I suspect that's where a lot of the hatred for this interpretation of Boba comes from. He is ruthless and intelligent and he always gets his bounty. This Boba Fett just doesn't have the ruthlessness you would expect from the Galaxy's top bounty hunter.

I pretty much felt exactly the same about the bikes, and in general I feel like episode 3 is the weakest of this mini series.

@@EntertainmentFan11 Do you think the first time the sarlacc ever ate was that one trip to execute Skywalker & Co.?

Not really. There are a small handful of fun cameos but if that was a prerequisite then everyone would need to watch Clone Wars before enjoying any of the shows, and that's clearly not the case. With Star Wars fandom it's safe to assume "there's always a bigger nerd", if you watched all of Clone Wars you'd still miss references from the games, if you played every single Star Wars game you'd still miss references to the Holiday Special, or the books, or the comics, etc etc etc. If you count all new canon and old-EU content that's nearly a bottomless pit of obscure knowledge that's fun to know about and spot the easter-eggs for, but absolutely not essential for anyone to enjoy these shows.

[@steveross8364]

Bobba Fett did die. He was a 2nd rate disposable bad guy back when 'Empire' & 'Return' were made. Extended universe nonsense built up the Mandalorian lore for the fans and Favreau took it for his project to redress the atrocious eps 7, 8 & 9 and resurrected Fett as a ploy to appeal to the SW fanboi element and generate a larger following. Hat's off to him, it worked.

[@Skillionaire9]

As you've probably read by now there are a few camps of people who hate this series. Thankfully, you're not one of any of them. Die hard Boba crazies of the original trilogy demand he goes back to being a one-note murder machine, while others hate the merging of the prequels with the originals in the form of ugly bikes, and still others demand the series only focus on Boba overall. None of these arguments hold water, and this show is meant as a one run spin off of Din's story set in the post Empire era and it has some of the best moments of all of Star Wars. Enjoy the rest.

I don't think it was terrible. Slow going. But not terrible. Terrible is the show Willow.

[@salvadortinajero]

But the best episodes are coming now lol

[@ortizmo]

OK. Bye.

[@pazz]

This show is so bad it made me totally uninterested in continuing the Mandalorian at all. Haven’t watched a lick of s3 of mando because this show sucks so bad.

[@ortizmo]

Ok. Bye.

[@arobin6695]

this show was so bad lol Boba Fett got turned into a weak old man who hates violence, never gets to look cool or badass and cant do anything without Fennec to do it for him

[@MikeHesk742]

Bizarrely accurate to his original movie appearance haha, shows up as a wingman to the main bad guy then falls in a pit.

[@arobin6695]

@@MikeHesk742 in his first movie appeance he's a badass who goes up against the heroes and wins and gets away with his prize. he got a lame death but he spent a whole movie before that being awesome.

​@@arobin6695 He's in like 2 scenes lol. Vader captured his prize for him and basically big-dicked Boba Fett for the rest of that film by performing experimental treatments on his prize that might kill him, with a promise to compensate him if he dies. When Han conveniently lives, Vader lets Fett walk away with him. It doesnt feel like any of that involves Boba Fett actually doing anything or being in control of the situation... he shoots a wall near Luke at one point? That was pretty hype. Problem with Boba Fett is we spent decades hyping him up after a pretty feeble showing, wrote books about how cool he *really* is, then they made The Mandalorian and gave that entire personality/lifestyle to Mando. Leaving Boba with not much to make him unique... so they turned him into the world's coolest grandpa instead. I don't love it haha, but you can see how we got here.

@@MikeHesk742 he was introduced with a huge group of bounty hunters and then shown to be better than all of them by being the only person to see through Han's trick, he's the only reason the heroes failed to escape, he defeated the good guys and got away with it. He talked back to Vader without fear and got paid twice for his bounty, by Vader and by Jabba. It's subtle but you can see him turn his head when Luke pulls his blaster out and the fact that he heard Luke lets him stop Luke from rescuing Han. He's shown to be a badass bounty hunter who's damn good at his job. How many secondary antagonists get to go up against the heroes and actually win and get away at the end? all that in addition to looking awesome. he didnt get much screentime but he was cool looking and good enough to go up against Han or jedi Luke and come out on top.
