The Book of Boba Fett is, sadly, a very stupid show. Boba Fett was one of my favorite characters. When I was about 7-8 years old, and The Empire Strikes Back hadn't even come out yet, you could turn in... what was it, ten proof of purchases, I think? And they'd send you a Boba Fett action figure from Kenner. I had one of those. That Boba Fett action figure was one of the action figures I played with the most. I didn't necessarily imagine that he was Boba Fett, just that he was this super cool supercommando who shot missiles out of his wrist and his backpack, in addition to the gun he carried around. Boba Fett was done wrong by George Lucas himself in Return of the Jedi when he died like a chump for no good reason, but then he was trotted out in the special editions as lame gratuitous fan service. But that could... kinda... be ignored. But this show turning him into a sad, senile, confused, out of shape old man who wants to run a criminal empire by being nice and never making any decisions at all is just pathetic. A real disgrace.
And I actually laughed out loud at a part that wasn't supposed to be funny; The Spin. Here's a clip of it, turned by the genius of the Internet, into a disposable yet hilarious meme.
