With an extra 14 minutes (including the credits), "The Book of Boba Fett" decides to use its time to show Boba Fett attack some thugs, take down a train, and do a dance around a campfire. Yes, I like the message that Indigenous people (the Sand People) shouldn't have to hide. Yes, I enjoyed the confrontations in Mos Espa. But with no character development, plot or conflicts, I'm worried about this series' trajectory.

Once again, the concept art looks cooler than the actual show (unlike "The Mandalorian", which looks as cool (if not cooler) than its concept art).

Edit: The flashbacks feel like sidequests since Boba's never morally questioned. He's just positioned as the good guy (even though he's had questionable morals in the comics, movies and "Star Wars: The Clone Wars"). He just takes down monster, takes down train, gets a staff and dances.

Agree with the no character development here but I think is because we already have a character background from the flashbacks.

@clobby-clobsters Chapter 3 will be a make or break episode. I still don't see the reason for this series to exist. Is it a side quest kind of show? Is it an origin story, kinda?

@whitewatcher I guess I'm just more interested in the politics of Mos Espa than the flashbacks. They feel kind of pointless to me. :/

@the_argentinian It feels more like a sidequest thing atm. I'd rather watch Boba's episodes in the Clone Wars when he's a literal child, because he at least has jedi, sith, and other bounty hunters to bounce off of
