A Thrilling Let Down Throughout much of In the Name of Honor, I found myself pondering over things I often don’t think about while watching something for the first time. Why did Fett choose to use the bombed-out remains of the Sanctuary as his place to do battle with the spice-dealing Pykes? Would it notContinue reading “‘One for the Team’ – The Book of Boba Fett Chapter Seven: In the Name of Honor”

‘Spiralling Fables’ – The Book of Boba Fett Chapter Six: From the Desert Comes a Stranger
Procrastination as an Art In my previous essay, I mentioned how chapter five’s The Return of the Mandalorian hinted a huge problem underlying The Book of Boba Fett. After weeks of favouring flashback oriented character-building over present day narrative progression, the show refused to square up to the part of the show it had beenContinue reading “‘Spiralling Fables’ – The Book of Boba Fett Chapter Six: From the Desert Comes a Stranger”
‘Shows within Shows’ – The Book of Boba Fett Chapter Five: The Return

‘Dead Folk Walking’ – The Book of Boba Fett Chapter Four: The Gathering Storm
A Vision in Focus An early-episode snooze in Fett’s Bacta tank whisks us back into our protagonist’s past right from the get go this week. Except it isn’t quite business as usual.

‘Bikes, Pykes and Dinermobiles’ – The Book of Boba Fett Chapter Three: The Streets of Mos Espa
Cyberpunk Diner Crew The Streets of Mos Espa dedicates a bit more time toward progressing the show’s present day narrative. Something that’s been lacking up until this point. It’s a much needed change from the previous two chapters, at least in principle. After a dash of exposition, in which 8D8 – a droid voiced byContinue reading “‘Bikes, Pykes and Dinermobiles’ – The Book of Boba Fett Chapter Three: The Streets of Mos Espa”
‘From the Ashes of an Empire’ – The Book of Boba Fett Chapter One: Stranger in a Strange Land
The Post-Jedi Origins of Boba Fett We open The Book of Boba Fett’s opening chapter, Stranger in a Strange Land, with the framing of two origin stories. The first of these conveys the most traditional of origins, a look at young Boba Fett as he cradles his father’s decapitated head. It’s a scene lifted directlyContinue reading “‘From the Ashes of an Empire’ – The Book of Boba Fett Chapter One: Stranger in a Strange Land”
