The Book of Boba Fett is so busy it forgets to make Boba Fett interesting

Boba Fett gets a backstory, and not much else, in his theoretically solo show

as a whole, there’s seemingly three shows here. There’s what was ostensibly the main story, with Boba Fett establishing himself as a crime lord in Mos Espa. There were the flashbacks filling in every last gap of the time between when we last saw Boba and his reappearance inwith guest star Boba Fett stuck in the middle.

But once that sequence of extended flashbacks is done, The Book of Boba Fett doesn’t really know what else to do with its rehabilitated new hero. Boba has nothing to really strive for, no motivation for any of the things he’s doing, and no ambitions other than “riding a rancor” Part of the problem is that the series has no real antagonist to throw at him, or any real threats that stand in the way of whatever it is Boba actually wants. The Hutt twins who show up to lay claim to Jabba’s turf don’t even get names before they jet off. The other crime families of Mos Espa are non-entities. And the show’s “big bad,” the Pyke Syndicate, is just an army of goons that die in waves as needed and whose leadership is instantly taken out by Fennec Shand in a single go.

The end result is less a meaningful opportunity to examine what makes Boba different from the morally gray Bane, and more of an opportunity for creator Dave Filoni to try and take another shot at retroactively canonizing . And even then, it’s not the dramatic peak of the episode: that moment happens a scene later when Grogu and Mando get to team up to fight off Boba’s loose rancor.goes forward from here. The show leaves off with Fett and his newly acquired crew just sort of hanging out in Mos Espa, having won over the townsfolk thanks to their heroics.
