Anyone who remembers Boba Fett from the films recalls the reputation of the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy. A bounty hunter who had Wookie pelts on his belt. A bounty hunter who would do whatever it took to get the job done. He was nobody's friend. Even Han Solo's priceless reaction in ROTJ at the Sarlacc pit of, "Boba Fett?! Boba Fett?!" tells you the kind of character he was.
Now, Boba Fett takes over as crime lord from Bib Fortuna. Only now, Fett is trying to do right by everyone. He's got a small entourage of allies. He makes friends with the Sand People, and he's somehow gone from ruthless bounty hunter to a peacekeeping wuss. Imagine if Darth Maul came back suddenly cuddling teddy bears.
It was as if the writers no longer had a handle on the character. Mandalorian is more bad-ass than Fett and far more believable as a character.
I tried to get into this series as I was really excited for it. But after three episodes, I couldn't take it anymore. The most feared (and arguably) beloved bounty hunter got melted down into a baby-powdered chump who is about as feared as an Ewok.
Disney definitely did wrong by this series.
