Temuera Morrison for his role as Boba Fett in The Book of Boba Fett!

I have SO MANY questions about this show's structure, seriously. This show is only 7 episodes long! Why is the title character not in an entire episode and only 5 seconds in the one after? Why is one of the early episodes 80% flashback by volume? Why is Cad Bane the only one who knows he's in a Western?

Why must the Tuskens be massacred AGAIN?

Does Fennec Shand know she's named after a desert fox? How did teen!Nat from Yellowjackets [1] get to a galaxy far far away? Why is the Armourer so cool? Have all the other women been recruited by the Bene Gesserit? The Spice must flow!

WHY NO CLONES

All in all, a somewhat entertaining show let down by some really weird story choices. First time I've watched a show with a Maori actor in the "lead" role -- anyone got recs for more?


Given Disney's refusal to take a stand against homophobic and transphobic legislation, this is going to be the last Disney product I watch for a while.

[1] I should really talk about Yellowjackets because I fucking LOVED that show, but I am still very in my feelings about it and I need to rewatch if I want to say anything more coherent than "fucked up deer and human sacrifice cult yessssssssssssssssssss"
