At the very end of The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 6, Luke Skywalker offers Grogu something very significant, yet unexpected: Yoda's lightsaber. Luke tells Grogu to choose between either the lightsaber, and with it embracing the Jedi path, or the beskar gift from Din Djarin, embracing the Mandalorian foundling path. We don't get to [...]
Last week's episode of The Book of Boba Fett was one of the very best episodes of Star Wars TV we've ever seen. This week's may have just topped it. Though there are some questions to be raised about how this show is going to wrap things up with just one episode remaining, that doesn't [...]
In the most recent episode of The Book of Boba Fett, "Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian," we see Din Djarin learning more about the darksaber from the Armorer. Mandalorians know the saber well, as do Star Wars fans. The saber has received considerable attention in The Clone Wars and Rebels, being made by the [...]
If it wasn't obvious before, I think The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 5 eliminated any doubt: it's time for Bryce Dallas Howard to get her own Star Wars project. In season one of The Mandalorian, Howard was part of the team of directors who brought Star Wars to a live-action series for the first [...]
In the season two finale of The Mandalorian, Din Djarin defeated Moff Gideon in combat, winning the darksaber in the process. Unbeknownst to Mando, however, this created immediate tension between him and Bo-Katan Kryze, who wanted the saber. Djarin's only concern had been rescuing Grogu, so he offers the darksaber freely to Bo-Katan - but [...]
Chapter 5 of The Book of Boba Fett was appropriately titled "Return of the Mandalorian," and it brought the fan-favorite Mandalorian Din Djarin back to center screen. So much so, in fact, that Boba Fett never appeared and was mentioned just one time... in a show titled The Book of Boba Fett. That led to [...]
The Book of Boba Fett is back! Last week's episode left off with quite the tease, with Boba Fett saying he needs muscle and Fennec Shand replying that credits can buy muscle if you know where to look. At that, the familiar and instantly-iconic theme from The Mandalorian started picking up, making it clear where [...]
At the Disney Investor's Day in December 2020, Lucasfilm President Kathy Kennedy said that The Mandalorian and the other shows set within the same timeline will all be connected. “Set within the timeline of The Mandalorian, these inter-connected shows, along with future stories, will excite new audiences, embrace our most passionate fans, and will culminate in [...]
Last year, there was no shortage of discussion surrounding the name of Boba Fett's ship, stemming from a Lego set being called "Boba Fett's Starship" instead of Slave 1. Seems harmless enough... but this is Star Wars, after all, and there is nothing a certain segment of "fans" of the franchise like more than complaining [...]
As we have followed the story of The Book of Boba Fett so far, one of the criticisms the show has received is about how Star Wars has ruined the character of Boba Fett. The criticism goes that the version of the character in this show is vastly different than the one in the original [...]
