On this week's re-cap of The Bobalorian, the guys are pretty stunned by the IP Machine's gross cynicism in Chapter 6, "From the Desert Comes a Stranger." Written by the Favs and Dave Filoni, and directed by Filoni, this episode of Boba Fett's TV show has Din Djarin doing a welfare check on Grogu, Cobb Vanth busting up a drug deal, Rosario Dawson reminding everyone she has a show coming out, a dead-faced deep fake and a puppet hanging out, and Boba Fett himself doing... a lot of standing around not talking.  Yikes, folks. Yikes. 

The Podcast of Boba Fett is the latest WHM TV recap show where the guys chat about each and every episode of The Book of Boba Fett. Thanks so much for your continued, TOP. TIER. Patreon support. This one's for you!

Wtf is Luke doing in This Boba Fett series?? Where the f is Buddy Fett?

I will gladly die on this hill, and am inspired by the Contrarian King Chris Cabin. I enjoyed the first 4 episodes overall even though they each had their share of problems. The last 2 episodes are simply on the wrong show and as a lifelong fan of Boba Fett, he deserves better. Oh and Cad Bury still looks like a goofy cartoon!!

Shampoo Man

Always feels good to refresh right into a new episode drop 🔥

WarOfTheBees

Did anyone else notice the cameo at the end of the episode? That was Boba Fett! You probably remember him from Return of the Jedi or The Book of Boba Fett.

Colin

As someone also subbed to A More Civilized Age the Clone Wars bashing is some of the most “old man yells at cloud” stuff imaginable

Andrew

Boba Fett!? Where? *spins around blindly, knocks Boba Fett back into the Sarlaac pit for another 40 years*

Shelby Linam

Glad to see another A More Civilized Age listener here on the WHM feed!

"Jedi have no attachments...isn't that right, Artoo, my best friend since I was a teenager?"

Kyle Franz

LOL. Man I usually agree with most of the opinions the guys, but it seems when we talk Star wArs we are on totally different levels. Although, as a 42 year old who loved the clone wars cartoon. The gang's absolute revoltion at it's existence is very funny. Good episode though. Laughed pretty damn hard.

Kevin Lynch

I’m calling Fett is killed by being stabbed in the back by Fennec

Alexander Farr

More evidence that The Last Jedi broke Lucasfilms' brain. For those that didn't like Luke's portrayal you get to see him young and 'badass'. For those who did like TLJ you get to see the seeds of his failure restarting the order. And for everyone else, because we can't have genre content that doesn't appeal to literally all the people, here are cartoon characters in live action. Having said that, I like Dinn and Grogu and genuinely care about them and their story. I just feel that if this was in reverse and Fett on Tatooine was an episode or two side track in Mando season 3 then this wouldn't be so enraging to Eric and other Boba heads like him.

Paul

This series sucks. Nuff said.

Andrew B

I loved every second of this recap guys. Hilarious from minute one

Andrew B

1000% agree.

Andrew Dean

BURN IT ALL DOWNNN 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kahless

‘There was butt-hurt on both sides..’ 😂 Glad I’m more into the ‘Ice Pirates’ lore & fandom!

Paul

Dave Filoni makes Zack Snyder look like an auteur.

Andrew Burt

I've got a sinking feeling that Luke Deepfaker is here for the long haul. They're setting up Grogu to be both Jedi and Mandalorian, so be prepared for a Deus Ex Skywalker finale and Mando teaming up with Luke to train Grogu for season 3.

Jason

I picture a young Eric goofing around online and being like: “Fetlife? Finally, a website where I can share my Boba Fett obsession!”

MrTaupeTO

I was never a Boba Fett fan. I can't even rise to the level of being mad about how they are treating him. What I am getting tired of however is the creatives at Lucas/Disney being incapable of moving beyond the Skywalker saga time period. I can give a pass to Filloni for bringing his characters to live action. Just like I did for Paul Dini with Harlequinn. But I'm starting to worry he doesn't have the clout to move beyond the Skywalker times. The galaxy is built and it's foundation will stand the test of time but it has well been past time to move on. Disney, you burnt the EU. Burn the sequels and just make up new stuff. It's not like those actors want to come back anyway. If not forward, then take massive leaps backwards. The accoutrements of Star Wars are going to be familiar enough no matter when you go on the timeline. Have faith in the Fandom to want and accept new characters and locations. The tech is proving to be a boon, why not set a show where the precious memberberries won't get in the way and you can truly do what you want with characters and story arcs. Well be there. Like I have been since '77. I promise.

Paul

I don’t want to have to watch “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” Please don’t recap that series.

Velvet Geek

“Writing a suicide note in wing dings”! LOL!!!!

Andrew B

One thing I’m reminded of listening to this recap, is one of the RedLetterMedia reviews (want to say Rise of Skywalker) posited that the Star Wars universe is really not all that interesting because it’s just rebranding of previous lore, and there hasn’t been anywhere to go since OT. There’s exceptions (oddly I would say the most interesting Star Wars property is the Knights of the Old Republic II videogame for how it treats the Force) but the recent movies and these shows illustrate the continual regurgitation of the same ideas and iconography over and over

Brian Manley

I've never heard of a silent mid- premiere season cancellation before.

Sam

I really needed this collective rant, thank you. I was trying to express to some friends why robo-Luke is a nightmare for cinema, and they thought I was being histrionic. Then somebody tried to convince me that algorithmically generated voice actors were like, the equivalent of the invention of moveable type, and that alone took a couple years off my life.

Leesha Olivier

Living for everyone except Boba at this point, and I am sure that wasn't the point of this show.

Ray

It's bad

Ray

The clone wars, I mean

Izaak Pulham

I kind of enjoyed this episode but listening to your points... Damn I didnt even look at it that way and I completely agree with what your saying. On a whole I still enjoy this series but it has wasted the potential of one of my favourite characters growing up as well. Almost feels like this should have been short stories of stuff happening on Tatooine instead of using Boba as a vehicle to get these stories out there. It does make me a bit worried about this new obi-wan series though...

Robin Fry

For my sins I watched all of those stupid baby cartoons and Cad Bane is my least favourite thing in them. People are treating Filoni the same way as Lucas by never saying no to him and letting him just inject all his beloved (by him) creations into everything.

Bethany R

Loved the Cobb Vanth stuff. It made sense for it to be there and could actually push the narrative forward.

Chris Tobias

I must say how therapeutic it is to hear you guys rag on this episode like you did. I have been saying for years how terrible the Clone Wars/Rebels is 2 interesting episodes a season not make one great. (See helicopter lightsabers and I leave it at that) This episode is also further proof that Disney does not understand the character of Luke. Beyond all the evidence put to film. His whole EU journey was about making the jedi order better and that included allowing attachments. The man gets married for crying out loud!

Tim Batson

This is why I'm a Walsh tier member. The guys get so much right on this one and a lot wrong. I'll say this in defense and critique: Nostalgia is a dragon. It's a brutal hideous thing that makes you think you can feel a particular way about something the same forever and ever. When the thing you love and have been chasing falls short of what you envision inside, it hurts and sucks so much. But, that's what chasing that dragon does to you, it tricks and hurts you, over and over. You will never feel as high as you did the first time you fell in love with a thing, never feel the same wonderment, you can't. Time, experience, wisdom, growth all dull that initial response and you're just left with nuance. So, I feel for Eric in particular that he's loved the character of Boba Fett for so long, and Disney just fucked up everything he had built up for himself for how the character should be (outside of the terrible, incomprehensible "storytelling" the show runners are doing). Is anyone surprised by this? The writing was on the wall with anything Star Wars related when Disney bought the IP. Disney has been a blackhole for consumerism and corporate goonery for as long as they've been around. They actively pursue changing fair use/copyright law to benefit them so they can own any IP of theirs forever. There is a documentary out there that talks about it, but I can't remember the name :( They proved with the sequel trilogy that the algorithm was their new lord and would follow it. They're not interested in good storytelling or character development, they're interested in butts in seats and eyes on screens, in perpetuity, forever. They'll do just enough with whatever they own to get the audience to do that. This should not be shocking with anything they produce. If you keep your expectations as low as possible with entities like Disney, it's hard to be disappointed with what they offer.

Tim Batson

Same here. Loved both Clone Wars and Rebels.

Ashley Childers

I watched The Clones Wars during quarantine. The first quarantine. Sigh. Anyway, I would recommend watching the story arc in season 4 (I think) where I kid you not, they rip off the plot of Face-Off. Obi Wan fakes his death to take an assassin’s face to infiltrate some plot to assassinate Palpatine. It was bonkers. It popped into my head because Obi Wan crosses paths with Cad Bane. Favorite part, the Jedi fake Obi Wan’s death right in front of Anakin and don’t loop him in at all and just let him become even more unhinged than usual.

Vicky I

man if Peter Cushing's ghost really did give Obi-Wan a reacharound in his show, that's already a plus for me

Kyle Franz

Agreed. I will say though, for someone like me, who has never paid attention to anything outside the Movies and the Cartoons (done by filoni). Fett was never a badass. So that doesn't bother me. However, a show called the book of boba fett. Probably should focus on that character. :)

John Gudmann

Last week's episode was neat on its own as a once-off bit of Mando, but jesus this just pulled a handbrake on the whole thing. I didn't even hate the Luke stuff that much (as much as I DID hate the CGI Luke), but goddamn it's so weird that so much of this show has been dedicated to either flashbacks or NOT Boba Fett. It's like 30 minutes of content in the actual "present" for Boba Fett!

Andrew

He leans over and whispers into Obi-Wan's ear ... "you may fire when ready."

Zar oelke

Maybe don’t pay for Patreon if you don’t enjoy the content

Having watched the finale, I honestly think they had the idea for a 2 hour Boba Fett Movie and tried to stretch it over 7 30-40 minute episodes. As someone who enjoyed the Clone Wars and is probably older then the guys here I will say that it is not great storytelling as it is really good at developing characters. Frankly I found Rebels better storytelling overall. I think the bringing in these other characters wouldn’t be so bad if there was more connection to Boba when they bring them on. For all the flashbacks in other episodes and deaging done in this episode, you couldn’t do a flashback of Cad with young Boba or even show him with Jango. I had some other thoughts but since I have watched the finale I fear they may get shaded by that and may be spoilerish. And as much as I love Star Wars, I do enjoy a good rant as long as it isn’t just nitpicking and you guys brought up valid points plus can’t really complain about Eric’s rant about Boba being ruined here when I have had several of my own with Luke in the sequels.

TwoWeeksGuy

Yup. Why, why, why, would they not make Cad Bane fuck whatever, the murderer of the sand people.

Robert Carson

Will say that Encanto isn't Pixar, its the 60th of Disneys original animated movies... but all the points you are making are true in regards to Luca and Turning Red and Soul going straight to streaming

Catboyslim

I think they reanimated Lee Marvin to voice Caddy BaBa-Bane

Catboyslim

Like Carrie Fisher said in her standup act..”Every time I look in the mirror I owe George Lucas $10 bucks...”
