The day Star Wars fans have been waiting for has finally come as last week kicked of the new series The Book of Boba Fett. New and Old fans alike were excited as the series was announced immediately following the end of The Mandalorian Season 2.
Not only showing Boba’s rise to power as he fights to earn the respect and territory of Jabba the Hut, but also his life after being defeated by Luke Skywalker all the way back in Return of the Jedi.

However, our antihero survives and is seen in the first episode forced to live without the key element he survived on. That being the beskar armor he inherited from his late father Jango Fett, after his death at the hands of Mace Windu, back in Episode II. This is what had fans curious as we know Boba gets his armor back in The Mandalorian and for those who have watched the episode we see how it’s taken.
But the thing I think wins fans over is seeing the character growth of Boba Fett as he is now forced to live without his armor. You can see the struggle he has in the beginning as beskar protected him from most things. We also get a more in depth look at the Ghorfa, also known as the Tuskin Raiders, as they play a role in Boba’s story. It’ll be interesting to see to what extent their relationship with Boba grows as the series progresses.

However, not all of what we see is flashbacks as he hit the present time after Boba Fett has taken over and now is getting used to life as a ruler. Though he chooses to move away from some of the more brutal methods used by Jabba the Hut. An interesting choice showing even as a ruthless bounty hunter he has a moral code. Fans are still curious what story The Book of Boba Fett will be telling as well as what the overall plot will be, but one thing is for sure is that this first episode was a step in the right direction.
The Book of Boba is currently streaming on Disney+ with the second out of seven chapters expected to be released Wednesday the 5th. With the remaining chapters expected to be released throughout the month into February.
