“The Book Of Boba Fett” serves as a spin-off to the hit “The Mandalorian” tv show. The “Star Wars” franchise keeps expanding and I’m all for it. Boba Fett is one of my favourite characters so I was looking forward to a show focusing on him. Overall, I was impressed but I cannot help feeling that more should have been done to keep this separated from “Mandalorian”.

Boba Fett (Temeura Morrison “Once Were Warriors”) and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen “Street Fighter: The Movie”) look to seize control of the criminal underworld on Tatooine, taking over territory once administered by Jabba the Hutt. After his experiences living with the Tusken Raiders, Fett looks to establish a more sustainable rule than his predecessors, one built on respect and loyalty.

Temeura Morrison is great as Boba Fett. I really wanted to see a show focus on this character and seeing him try to run a criminal enterprise and become a crime boss like he’s a sci-fi version of the Corleone family in “The Godfather” is just brilliant. Sadly, I feel that as the series goes on, focus is lost a little. Fett becomes underplayed in some episodes. Mina-Na Wen is great as Fennec Shand too. Keep an eye out for various “Star Wars” characters from previous films and shows including a brief appearance by Max Rebo (the big blue elephant from “Return of the Jedi”). Next, I would love a “Max Rebo Band” series.

“The Book Of Boba Fett” definitely has its moments. I’ve wanted a film or show that focused on either Boba Fett or Jango Fett for many years. This show is not as creative and captivating as “The Mandalorian” but that series set such an insanely high bar for “Star Wars” shows to follow. I think “The Book Of Boba Fett” is best when it just does Boba Fett stuff. When it tries to tie itself more closely to “Mandalorian”, it’s certainly not bad but it just isn’t what I wanted from a series based on Boba Fett. I’m happy to wait for another series of “Mandalorian”.
