[mdmost 44110]

Hoping we're getting a trailer soon. Boba Fett will a big part of the Disney+ Day  on November 12th, where Disney will announce new titles in development.

Is there a reason why they’re releasing it on December 29th rather than Christmas Eve?

lots of people doing things other than posting on the socials and giving the mouse free pub?

[mdmost 44110]

That's the same night as the Hawkeye finale.

Kids are off from school, everyone is at home, we’re on wave 7 or 10 at that point, and they will have everyone glued to the TV nerding out making billions $. Mouse out front should have told you.

Boba looks like he's waiting for the Lions game to come on after Thanksgiving dinner.

Fuck yeah.

So looks like the vibe they are going for is kind of a warring gangland factions trying to take control of a criminal empire... can pull from like Mafia, Yakuza, etc.  BARTSCOTT.GIF

I'm still pissed I'm going to be watching the Hawkeye finale on Christmas Eve/Day instead of this, but I am so in. 

[Dutch 4579]

Yeah that looks incredible.  So does Ming-Na; definitely in the "Babes over 50 who still have it" category.

She's creeping in on 60.

Also, how about some 30 year-old Ming-Na from 1994?

You don't see 27 years of aging on her face between 1994 and now?

Actually, neither do I.

Holy fucking shit.  Speaking of 57 year olds, besides Ming-Na, how about some Jennifer Beals?

 

[smuggs 9399]

Bossk and Dengar had better pop up in here somewhere. And some Twi'lek flashdance is intriguing.

Fett has been crossing paths with both of them in the comics right now, and if you'd believe it, he fucked both of them over. I'd bet the series is gonna be shades of "Tales of Jabba's Palace"

[Buzzrock 15148]

I had to look up who Jennifer Beals was.

Yeah, I'm getting a lot of vibes from that, as well as the Mos Eisley Cantina one. Which is good - I like the idea of them exploring all of these minor little characters in major settings.

CSB- I was the foreman of a jury that she was on. She just hung out and didn't leave the courthouse for lunch, so we just chatted about kids and such. Really really cool person, down to earth and with a very wry sense of humor.

Interesting.

Wasn't Dengar kind of a mentor to young Boba in the CW series? It's been a while since I've seen those episodes so maybe I'm remembering incorrectly...

Rodriguez basically promising us the moon in this interview : https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/robert-rodriguez-interview-book-of-boba-fett-star-wars-1235062364/

I hope he can deliver.

I trust Rodriguez but that shot of Boba swinging that axe-thing looks terrible.

Boba Fett was one of Rodriguez's childhood obsessions, so here's hoping.

[billfromlaketravis 11869]

Some highlights for those too busy to read the article : 

- The trailers only contain footage from the first half of the first episode. RR said had he included footage from the second half of the first episode it would give away the big reveal. So something big happens in the first episode. I don't think they can top the introduction of Baby Yoda, but that seems to be their goal. 

- "Big surprises in every episode." The Star Wars podcast nerds think much of this will be adding Legends characters to Canon by introducing them in Book of Boba Fett.

“Things turn up you don’t expect, you see things we couldn’t believe we got to do,” he says. “Every episode has big surprises.”

 

Not a bold prediction by any means, but I think some Filoni favorites will make their first appearances in live action. Namely Cad Bane and Hondo. It is a show about bounty hunters and criminals.

I'll watch, but I don't know any characters outside the main films and The Mandalorian. If it comes from comics or the animated series', I'm sure the nerds will love it, but I hope they have sufficient explanation for those of us who haven't followed these other stories.

I think it’ll be fine. 

It’ll be like Ashoka last season. You don’t need to have watched the animated series or know who Ashoka was before seeing her in the Mandalorian, but it’ll be like a special treat for the people who have watched those series.

Boba Fett is lame and should have stayed dead.  Unpopular opinion or no?

[Nivek 17426]

I appreciated seeing Jennifer Beals in this but damn I don’t know how the kept South Austin’s Mom’s cameo a secret.
