Year-late review: ‘The Book of Boba Fett’
The Book of Boba Fett is a series that was probably better in theory than it turned out to be in practice. Its biggest problem is that its main character, played ever-so-seriously by Temuera Morrison, ends up being one of the least engaging figures among a cast of colorful supporting players and guest stars who consistently upstage him, pull the focus away from him, and suggest that their stories are more important than his. The book may be named for Boba Fett, but there are entire chapters that aren’t about him at all.
This isn’t a problem per se, especially since those later chapters (five, six, seven) are devoted, in a rather compelling way, to following up the events of The Mandalorian‘s second season finale in a grand effort to undo its most significant final scenes. Indeed, episodes five through seven of this series are essentially season 2.5 of The Mandalorian and practically required viewing heading into its third season.
