is the whole series out or just one at a time? Strive to live your life so when you wake up in the morning and your feet hit the floor, the devil says "Oh crap, he's up." | |||

Saw it last night. It was really good. The actor who plays Fett is REALLY good. He is better than ANY of the 'new' cast from the last 3 Star Wars movies, and Ming Na Wei is amazing (I've had a thing for her ever since seeing her in Street Fighter) :-).

My comment has ZERO to do with her acting ability.  Without referencing IMDB, isn't it the same actor that played Boba Fett in TESB??? And from whom the clone army was designed in Episode II?? I believe he has played all the "Fett" characters in the SW series. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

No, the "original" Fett was Jeremy Bulloch in TESB. This actor, Temura Morrison was Jango Fett in TCW, and the template for all.if the clones, including Boba. So they went back and put his voice into TESB and RoTJ Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | |||

Its always amused me that one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars universe was a throwaway villain, meant to die and be forgotten like some random Gamoreann guard. No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||

Hey, it's Lucas' fault, for making that throwaway villain look so damn cool.  | |||

There’s a great mini documentary on Disney+ about the history of the character. | |||

It's definately worth watching, if only to see the redemtion of the Gamorreans (not to be confused with Gamora from Marvel ala GOTG, but you'd be forgiven if you did just based on names, but if you did based on looks . . . well, you and I just cannot be friends then). ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

Honestly I think it was more the ship and perhaps the back pack rocket launcher that made all us eight year olds dig Boba Fett. Any toy with flying parts that a kid could choke on is an instant classic.  | |||

I liked the part where Boba Fett and Darth Vader were walking in the 1978 San Anselmo Country Fair parade well before TESB was released, so none of the parade watchers had any clue who he was. | |||

My wife and I watched the first ep last night...really liked it. Was that Jennifer Beals as the hot casino owner?? --------------------------------------- It's like my brain's a tree and you're those little cookie elves. | |||

Got around to watching it, and have to say I was massively disappointed. In one episode, they have managed to take Boba Fett from super cool to super lame. First, Boba comes out of the Sarlac pit fatter than he went in. Not a knock on the actor or body shaming, but the current actor has a noticeably different body type than the person who played him in ESB. The bigger problem for me is that Boba is far from the super badass bounty hunter he was made out to be. He gets his ass kicked by a Tuskan raider. Maybe you can argue he was still a bit weak, but still his fighting was pretty lame. Plus, he’s not much better in the “present”. He and Fennec Shand are getting their asses kicked by the ninja guys with the shields, and are only saved by two Gammoran Guards, who were mostly jokes in ESB. In fact, Boba seems somehow now a less competent fighter that he was was when he came back in the Mandalorian. It’s pretty easy to see why the other crime lords aren’t exactly scared of him. He doesn’t seen the same character who walked in and casually offed Bib Fortuna just one episode ago. Hopefully it will get better, but as a first episode, the first Mandalorian was much better IMHO. | |||

Did the Fennec Shand actress escape from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D? She seems to be playing the same hardass. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

I still have the head from my childhood version of the original Boba action figure. I'd found the whole thing, sans arms, some years ago, so I removed the head and tossed the armless body. Right now it sits on a speaker next to my Yoda from back then, the only two pieces of that stuff that survived this many years. | |||
