Summary Though Star Wars: The Last Jedi was undoubtedly the franchise’s most contentious production, The Book of Boba Fett was unfortunately Star Wars’ worst mistake. The Last Jedi famously divided the fan base – while some appreciated Rian Johnson’s deviation from Star Wars’ usual narrative themes, others felt the film disrespected the legacies of characters like Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker.
The Book Of Boba Fett Destroyed The Main Character's Appeal Close Temuera Morrison’s return as Boba Fett in The Mandalorian season 2 was an incredibly welcome surprise. This version of Fett, who had clearly been through hell and back, was stoic, strong, skilled, thoughtful, and wise. All in all, he was a much more compelling and complex character than The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi had ever been able to depict.
Boba Fett's New Status Quo Just Isn't Appealing What initially made the character so appealing was his mystique and intensity. When audiences learned more about a young Boba Fett through Star Wars: The Clone Wars, it became clear that Fett wasn’t a character who could ever truly settle down, spending all his time in one place. Boba Fett isn’t a natural protector.
Boba Fett should be on the move, making his presence known throughout the galaxy. He’s not a crime lord, he’s a bounty hunter. He should be a shadow, hard to find and hard to die down. Instead, he’s been relegated to the sidelines because another Mandalorian galaxy-hopping bounty hunter had already stepped up to take his place.
Dedicating two entire episodes of Boba Fett’s show to The Mandalorian’s storylines was, to put it bluntly, a failure. The Mandalorian’s writers had separated its two most important characters at the end of season 2, and instead of using that separation to nurture some individual character development in The Mandalorian season 3, they saw The Book of Boba Fett as an opportunity to reunite them as quickly as they had been torn apart.
Ahsoka’s cryptic and oddly placed reference to Luke’s father, her former Master, in which she tells Luke that he’s “so like father,” isn’t enough to justify that choice. Next to Padmé Amidala and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka was one of the most important people in Anakin Skywalker’s life. She knew him better than almost anyone – Kenobi had certainly never shared much about Anakin with Luke.
