what is so hard to comprehend here?
I said I thought the original voice was better.
That's all.
Nothing about that they should have resurrected the dead to play/voice a part on Disney+ 30 some years later.
My comment was on Lucas tinkering with a finished product trying to make it better when he need not have bothered with a finished product people loved. They re-conned Boba Fett's voice after the fact to sound like the new guy playing Fett. It was compemetly unnecessary. It was Lucas' hubris.
Did you read the whole thread?
The whole thread is about a modern tv show for Boba Fett. You're complaining about something that was changed like 15 years ago, and as such, is irrelevant to this thread.
This thread turned into a ***** fest quick.
I'm going to reserve reading it for between 3 a.m. and 12 p.m. the day the epsiode airs when the true believers are on to enjoy the discussion.

Thought it was funny that Rebo and the other guy are now playing Latin music in Jennifer Beals bar. Theme music was good. It took me several episodes to get on board with Mando theme but ultimately liked it. This seems to take that and change it up a little.
Ming Na Wen is hot. Probably the best thing to look at on this show so far.
I have the opposite feeling about the theme music. I was grabbed by Mando's music right away. Very spaghetti western in tone. Book of Boba Fett music so far is not grabbing me.
The credits said the musical theme was by the same guy that did the Mando music but I thought it also said the music was by someone new. Did anybody else catch that? I'm not going to pull it up or check IMDB right now when I can challenge your memories and powers of perception.
Also, Ming-Na Wen is an alien or something. 58??

then threw in something entirely random from that comment about boba's voice
So . . . ?
Are extra thoughts not allowed?
I've been in A LOT of really, really dumb arguments on this website. This one is easily up there with the worst of them.

i will go head and apologize on his behalf and for any additional mental trauma that i have added to you in this most desperate time.
I know everyone on this forum is praying for your speeding recovery from this
Thanks, chief.
Super appreciated.
You're clearly a stand up guy.
Joseph Shirley was the other composer listed for the episode. For Mando, he was a "score programmer" in the music department
Saw on another Youtube video that Ludwig must have been inspired by the music from an old Swedish movie, example below
I feel like this show would also be wayyy better as an MA rated one... but i doubt disney ever takes even side stories of star wars there even though itd be awesome.

Vader had to reiterate to this guy "no disintegrations". I get that there is probably some character development that is going to happen in the flashbacks, but it is hard to accept right off the bat. I could accept the debt that he owed Mando being his motivation for "good" in that show. Maybe releasing this all at once or in chunks would have made more sense?
And, I agree, Disney will never touch MA for Star Wars. If they do, it will be because Star Wars stops doesn't printing $, and they need a massive change.
*****iest thread ever after 1 episode.

YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO LOVE THIS SHOW.
That was way better. So much more meat on the bone this go around.
That's said, three things…
- They should have ended the pilot with the opening scene of this episode (as it was the exact scene I was asking for earlier in the thread). Ending on the "Shall we visit the Mayor?" line would have made the pilot feel so much more complete, with a legit enticing ending, calling back to the Mayor's Majordomo visit, etc.
- This whole "flashbacta" structure is one of the most random things I've seen in a mainstream series. It's straight up two shows in one at this point, but handled in such clunky fashion. The Boba/Tusken story itself is actually fairly well-done and engaging, I'm talking more about the story-telling structure of the present-day story never really "ending" in each episode, while the flashbacta stuff eventually kind of dominates the episode. Just... the pacing is so weird. Though, I at least have a guess now as to where it all *might* be heading. It could be that Boba in the present ends up reaching out to the same Tusken Raiders tribe again (which has potentially grown and/or united with other tribes), and using them in his inevitable fight against the Fett twins (which was a fun little twist, btw, and, again, the kind of set-up/stakes the pilot was lacking).
- If they keep going with the flashbacta structure, I hope we finally learn what, exactly, is driving Boba in the present to become a crime lord, and in the particular way he's going about it. Did I miss him ever expressing why in The Mandalorian? I know he wants to rule with respect and not fear and yada yada yada, but it's hard to get invested in his plight when I have no idea what's driving him personally to take this on, or what wrong he's trying right. If the flashbacta stuff ultimately ends up filling in that blank, it will certainly help, but that's something we should already know from the outset, and should have been made crystal clear by now.

Flashbacta - hah, I like it.
Big step forward this week. I will gladly take a war with some Hutt crime lords as a plot for the series. And I wonder if that Wookiee was the bounty hunter that appeared in some comics a few years ago back when I was reading some of the comics (no clue what happened to him)

So.... Is it bad I like the Tusken Raiders storyline better than Boba being the new crime lord storyline?
I really think the TR story arc is pretty awesome and has given them some awesome background growth.
Also, what about the TANK wookie? Anyone have comments on that?!

The TR arc is good. I don't like that they casually sacrificed the Bantas though. That is out of character for Tusken Raiders.OnlyForNow said:

That was entertaining. True to star wars form - take a great old movie and put it into the star wars universe.
Definitely a dances with wolves vibe.

Don't see that they sacrificed them, they are huge and can't hide so easy targets.
You don't have to "park" them on the train route. Experts at dune travel should easily be able to avoid leaving them out in the open.OnlyForNow said:

I do love these discussions and you're right.
It was obviously not the first time they shot it out with the train folks.
The droid saving itself was humorous.
