The bounty hunter Boba Fett fell into the Sarlacc pit and was left for dead in
Return of the Jedi. But we learned that he survived (and eventually took over Jabba's Palace) in the second season of
The Mandalorian.
The Book of Boba Fett delves into his tale- both how Boba survived and what happens immediately after he takes Jabba's place. Determined to establish control and restore order, Boba takes on a deadly crime syndicate on Tatooine. But the cost may be too high as he encounters familiar faces- friend and foe. Can he hope to prevail on such a corrupt planet?
Episodes 1-4 were okay- some good story elements, but poorly delivered. And Fett's character was unconvincing- he takes over a crime lord's palace and operation, then refuses to be a crime lord? And would he really abandon his former life so readily? Episodes 5-6 were really good, and Episode 7 decent . . . but those were more like The Mandalorian Season 3 than the Boba Fett show. Overall, it held promise, but left me wanting more.
Rating: B-
