Announced #StarWars live action at the end of 2019:
-The Mandalorian Season 1
-Andor
-#Kenobi
At #starwarscelebration2022, two and a half years later:
-The Mandalorian Season 3
-Andor
-Kenobi
-The Skeleton Crew
I find it a bit odd so much character and plot development for #TheMandalorian is occurring in #TheBookOfBobaFett. They have to assume a large chunk of their audience will be going into Season 3 without having seen the show.
The more people try to frame the current Favreau-Filoni storytelling choices within the confines of what plays out in the ST, the more powerful the argument becomes to part ways with those movies.
Non-spoiler thoughts on episode 6 of #TheBookOfBobaFett:
-Pretty episode.
-The utter lack of focus in this show is incredibly frustrating. This episode was all over the place and then some.
-I really don't care for cameos for the sake of cameos.
Episode 5 of #TheBookofBobaFett also emphasizes how Beskar/Mandalorian are akin to the Force/Jedi. Re the Beskar spear, The Armorer explains that Beskar should only be forged into armor, never for weapons—“A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.”
If you think of episode 5 as the pilot for a show where Mando helps Boba Fett secure his position on Tatooine and the first four episodes as hastily thrown together filler, the series makes a lot more sense. #TheBookOfBobaFett
On a different note, this is the second Boba Fett episode to mention Tatooine once had water. In fact, it went out of its way to emphasize it. Very curious. #TheBookOfBobaFett
When Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padme and the clones are chasing Count Dooku in Attack of the Clones, does everyone collectively forget they have lasers or something?
