THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT: Review

After being announced just over a year ago via post-credit scene in The Mandalorian season two finale, at long last, The Book of Boba Fett has arrived on Disney+.

Starring Temuera Morrison as the titular bounty hunter-turned-crime lord, and Ming-Na Wen as his second in command, master assassin Fennec Shand, The Book of Boba Fett brings a quieter, more grounded story to the Galaxy Far, Far Away.

THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT: REVIEW  

A Grounded Human

Despite critiques that the series is pandering to the nostalgia of an aging demographic, The Book of Boba Fett appears to be more focused on developing the legendary bounty hunter beyond the cool-looking, ambiguous vibe he had before, and into something more like the very grounded, human character who appeared in the back half of The Mandalorian’s second season.
