The Star Wars Universe expanded in unpredictable ways with the movie The Force Awakens in 2015, and with the two seasons of The Mandalorian, a series turned into the most profitable attraction of the Disney Plus platform. The Boba Fett book aimed to further widen the field with one of those obscure characters whose involvement in the saga was minimal until now, but suggestive.

The people in charge of breaking ground with this series are the same creators who made The Mandalorian possible: director and actor Jon Favreau(Iron Man), and producer and screenwriter Dave Filoni(The Clone Wars). But this story not only lacks Baby Joda and the Mandalorian, what is in short supply throughout is imagination. Neither the few action scenes, much less the character design is attractive or novel in the midst of a tedious plot. Dialogues and fight choreographies are flat and predictable, with a temporal chaos of back and forth that only fans who enjoy self-referential winks and a production design that remains impeccable will endure.

The best of the series comes in the fifth chapter, when the boring Boba Fett takes a step back and leaves the spotlight to truly charismatic characters. But I do not predict more seasons for this book, but a mutis por el foro in favor of the third season of The Mandalorian, and the expected Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries starring Ewan McGregor that will arrive in the summer.
