The first chapter may be a bit of a slow burn, but The Book of Boba Fett was well worth the wait. Morrison makes for a spectacularly fun lead, bringing new life to the Bounty Hunter, and he pairs nicely with Wen, creating very exciting energy when the pair are in scenes together.
While The Book of Boba Fett has a lot of potential, it might remain a hard sale to the casual fan asking “Boba who?”.

This is still a show designed for Star Wars-crazed adults to watch with their kids, but it’s on the darker and grungier end of this family-friendly approach, even relative to some of the places we’ve seen Mando operate.
As a series opener, it’s an entertaining, low-key start with Fett’s gangster’s paradise the most compelling aspect. But, even for a first episode, it needs a bit of jet-pack propulsion.
“The Mandalorian” found great success as a live-action Saturday morning cartoon, delivering episodic adventures filled with fun cameos and a smattering of serialized hooks. But the premiere of “Boba Fett” is too low-stakes to scratch that same itch. Fights are simply staged. Conquests are predictable. ... Banter goes in one ear and out the other.
The premiere episode is “Mandalorian”-lite — competently put together, with the same quiet atmosphere and deliberate pace but without some of the earlier show’s moody stylishness or attention to detail.
It may get better as it goes along, but “Book of Boba” is starting out so stale and puerile it’s hard to see daylight and/or originality peeking through even eventually. If you’re not tired of seeing these “Star Wars” beans fried, refried, refrigerated and refried again, this must seem like a Golden Age to you. The rest of us know the only “golden” thing here is what’s spilling off the screen.
I am not sure why the reviews of his show are mixed. As a Star Wars fan of 15+ years, I loved this show. More than anything, the show paid tribute to the sheer willpower of Boba Fett, including from the very first scene. The costumes and cinematography were a treat - you could tell that the show was made by someone that loves and understands Star Wars.
My only gripe is that for whatever reason, two episodes of 'The Mandalorian' were inexplicably shoehorned into an already short run of BoBF.

Season 1 Review:The first 2 thirds of this first season of "Book of Boba Fett" should not exist. I would love to see the continuing adventures of Boba Fett, I just don't want it to be this adventure. He basically becomes the mayor of a town, which is the complete opposite of what he should be doing, which is jet setting around, being the raddest bounty hunter in the **** first 2 thirds of the season are unwatchably boring. To make matters worse, they take this character who has been a highly regarded man of mystery for the past 40 years, and they turn him into someone so dull that I do not want to see any more of him or his escapades. But then, for the last third of the season, the entire show changes into something completely different, and it makes this show worthwhile. Personally, I suggest skipping to episode 5 and forgetting the beginning of the series.

Boba Fett made you question in the first episode, but it proved to be an excellent series with the next episodes. Boba Fett and Mandalorian are delightful works for me; who doesn't like the universe excessively? It's worth watching with its action, editing, and nostalgia.

The main story is interesting but what hell happened in the last 3 episodes... Did someone get bored and decide to just add anything Star Wars with a dartboard. It screws up the main story line shortens the time building character and confuses the hell out of people that haven't seen the Mandalorian...
