The Book of Boba Fett fits seamlessly in all those Disney productions - they simple add nothing new to the original trilogy and mostly (I should add, that Rogue One is the only entry after ep IV-VI that I really liked) can't even keep up with the rather mediocre and weak quality of episode I-III. Within a few minutes we already got Jawas and Tusken Raiders, doing stuff Jawas and Tusken Raiders always do - blablabla. Instead of expanding the universe of Star Wars everything just orbits around the same old stuff. We got thousands and thousands of inhabited planets and races but all the writers manage to come up is in short: fan service, or what they think the audience wants. The production is okay but the first episode just felt redundant, generic, useless, dragging on and on - but maybe I'm just too old for Disney's "vision". But still I like to watch the original trilogy from time to time and those are really masterpieces compared to everything Lucas and Disney managed to come up after A New Hope and the following two movies. Sadly, I dare to say, this will just be another soulless mass product.

It is like something from the 1970's - what is with the terrible inappropriate 70's style music and the rubbery creature effects hmmmm I will reserve judgement but it is as if someone has just taken all the characters from Star Wars cantina and Tattoine and written what can be loosely described as a story around them.
Above average but its just the first episode so perhaps the best is yet to come!

The Book of Boba Fett is just getting started and already some people are trying to judge the entire series too quickly, even though the first chapter just came out. Wait until the whole thing's finished, guys. WandaVision had the same 'problem' for impatient viewers who can't stomach the weekly-release model for television shows, but it's absolutely worth the wait in the end.
Overall this episode was a good starter for what should be an entertaining series overall, and it still honours Boba Fett's badassery just fine. Sure it may harken a little too closely to The Prequel Trilogy with its literal usage of footage from Episode II for some, but it's to the series' advantage and giving layers to the central character.
This show seems to be giving more light to the Star Wars universe's criminal underbelly: and it's bound to get into juicier details in the coming instalments. Boba Fett deserved some more time on-screen and he's finally getting his own story so he can really shine. 4/5 stars: promising beginning for a promising show.

I thought it was average and not really adding anything to story. I have seen video of boba Fett escaping pit before and was this much better, he used jetpack to escape. The other thing I didn't like was park-core made the series look like a modern piece of cinema and not in keeping with original style.

Boba Fett, as a character, had less than fifteen minutes screen time and only four lines in the original trilogy - yet he became one of the most important characters in cinematic mythology. Largely because he was mysterious so the audience's imagination could fill in the blanks. This show takes him away from what made him a cool character, and turns him into something he is not - and nobody wanted him to be. The sets and costumes look like a YouTube fan film, and the acting sucks.

Simple dialogue, clunky fighting scenes and absolutely zero story line. Boba Fett opens with him in a tank with mystery images and there is no talking for the first 13 minutes of a 35 minute episode. Really bizarre.
Must be on a strict budget. The entire script of the episode could probably fit on the back of a cereal box. He fights a few monsters and was held captive. That's it. Anyone rating this as a 10 star series is just a Star Wars fan groupie and literally anything Lucas Films puts out will be popular with them.
Jon Favreau has created this to piggy back on his Mandalorian success and it seems like he is putting less effort into this project.

Poor acting, turgid story, terrible action scenes, yep sounds about right for the last few Star Wars outings. Just more woke Disney rubbish but it'll be pushed to hell in the media.

This show has all the Star Wars pieces and is interesting to look at but the acting and story was far too shallow, in fact I got bored, it has to improve.

Excellent . Casting of Boba Fett is awesome not your typical star lead.
Has a real Star Wars original feel to it .
Directing and script and location all top notch .
I think this will be an excellent show as it goes on .

The Mandalorian felt like a 1960s cowboy show and not a good one. It was slow and shallow. This is a step up hence the 2 stars but it still doesn't feel like Star Wars.
