‘The Ebook of Boba Fett’ takes a detour into its ‘Mandalorian’ origins
As was teased a bit coyly on the finish of Episode 4, the Mandalorian (voiced by Pedro Pascal) did certainly return, accumulating a bounty within the opening motion scene, getting some new transportation and fascinating in a duel to retain possession of the darksaber that he received on the finish of the present’s second season.

There was even time for a comedic gag the place the heavily-armed warrior needed to hand over his weapons — all of them — so as to board a industrial flight.

Whereas Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) was relaunched inside “The Mandalorian,” this episode primarily cemented the sense that that is each a devoted Boba Fett miniseries and in some respects “The Mandalorian” Season 3, laying the groundwork for a team-up within the closing two chapters.

Till now, “Ebook of Boba Fett” has oscillated between previous and current, filling in what occurred to Boba after he appeared to satisfy his demise in “Return of the Jedi,” and presenting his struggles to retain the facility he has claimed over Jabba the Hutt’s territory.

The inventive workforce behind the 2 exhibits actually is not pulling any punches on the subject of fan service, incorporating loads of acquainted “Star Wars” life varieties, together with ill-tempered Hutts, a Wookiee gladiator and a rancor monster.

But past simply fleshing out Boba’s previous, the sequence has handled the indigenous residents of Tatooine, significantly the Tuskens, with extra depth than was doable within the films, presenting them as merely defending their turf from intruders and threats.

The mixture of parts has made the present really feel a trifle messy, however with the good thing about hindsight these chapters may be seen as an prolonged prologue.

Sure, “The Ebook of Boba Fett” has served a goal by way of “Star Wars” nostalgia (and promoting toys and motion figures), however it stays located inside this newer offshoot of that mythology. And whereas that is perhaps a modest departure for Lucasfilm, by way of this new era of live-action Disney+ exhibits, apparently that is the best way.
