Star Wars

Stuff I liked in BOBF: The Tusken Raider flashbacks and Boba’s spiritual journey. That could have been the whole show.

I liked Cad Bane. I don’t really have an attachment to the cartoons, but I thought he was efficiently and effectively introduced into the show.

Stuff I didn’t like: The mod gang. Low hanging fruit, but needed to be mentioned.

I didn’t like how dreadfully boring the action sequences tended to be, especially the shootouts. Shootouts in shows between groups should have some goals each group is trying to achieve in order to be exciting. In BOBF the shootouts were so flat. They felt like that Naked Gun shootout.

I didn’t enjoy the overly comical nature of so many side characters. Comedy in Star Wars is good, but extended scenes that feel like cosplayers doing improv are not. A lot of the new Star Wars content feels increasingly like watching cosplayers in a weird uncanny valley themepark of Star Wars. A setting that was once the example of a grungy and lived in setting now constantly has a layer of gloss varnish on everything.

Boba Fett himself seemed like a big dummy. His plan at the end to split up his few people to just kind of stand around was confusing. Boba Fett never seemed much interested in actually doing crime as a crime lord. I get that he is being redeemed as an anti-hero, and thus Disney wants him not to be too dark, be he easily could have become the new canon version of Talon Karrde and brokered in information. Boba Fett would know a lot of dirt. In any case he seemed to have little agency or decision making as the boss. Even the choice to hire mercenaries was suggested to him.

My comment was a bit tongue in cheek because it did have some good parts, but there was a lot of missed potential. The sand people part I actually liked a lot, it was something cool and new. The power rangers I could have maybe looked past even though it was ridiculous, if they hadn't tried to turn Boba into some kind of noble gangster. You can't be a good guy AND run a criminal empire on Tatooine, sorry. Star Wars can be really dark sometimes but they didn't want to go dark here? Makes no sense.

The worst part was the terrible action sequences and the lack of attention to detail, like the big ass droidekas not managing to kill anyone running in a straight line, just so bad, not to mention stuff like Boba's back rocket reappearing magically for the final fight after being used a few scenes before. etc.

just very stupid low quality stuff.

the first 3 episodes that mostly had tuskens were the tits.

Fanboys like to talk about the extended universe like it was amazing. For every one good thing in it, there were a dozen turds including a Jedi R2 unit with force powers. I'm glad Disney killed it, and just like I figured, they're taking the good bits and characters and adding them in anyways

doesn't look that way though.

That's exactly what it is, though. It's satire, and tells you as much right in the first paragraph of the "About" page:

Hard Drive is a very real video games news site that you should not question. Just absorb the information as truth and move on. JK it’s satire don’t ban us.

I still laugh anytime someone tries to tell me how the expanded universe was just amazing and brilliant, and how the sequel Trilogy was a complete insult to it.

"The expanded universe would never bring back Sidious or have a girl like Leia be a Jedi!!11"

I will however admit that the extended Universe would never have made Boba Fett look like the world's most naive and unassuming Grandpa.
