In 2019, “The Mandalorian”, a spinoff of “the first IP in the universe” and “Star Wars”, was launched.
The escape adventure story of “Daddy and Baby” became popular all over the Internet, and the reputation of the series continued to rise.
Who would have thought that this spin-off would even have spin-offs.
The bounty hunter rescued Baby Yoda and laid countless foreshadowings. The “master” finally appeared–“The Book of Boba Fett”.
“The Book of Boba Fett” is a one-episode miniseries of around 40 minutes that focuses on the saga of bounty hunter Jango Fett.
Looking at the preview, the tonality of “The Book of Boba Fett” is similar to that of “The Mandalorian”.
It’s still that retro flavor, it’s still that Star Wars universe, and it will start a wonderful chapter again.

Before the story begins, let me introduce the identity background of Boba Fett.
In the Star Wars universe, Boba Fett is a famous bounty hunter who is a clone of his father Jango Fett.
Jango Fett is a member of the Mandalorian Super Commando, a group that all have a handsome set of Mandalorian armor.
His superb fighting ability was spotted by the clone factory on Kamino planet, and he bought his DNA with a lot of money, wanting to clone a super army.
Jango Fett agreed, but with the proviso that he wanted an unmodified clone as his child.
He named the clone Boba Fett, raised him as a son, and taught him all his fighting skills.
Later, Jango Fett was killed and Boba Fett inherited the armor.
After the Clone Wars, the Galactic Empire ruled the planets.
Boba Fett was hired by the Galactic Empire and became one of the most accomplished bounty hunters.
In “Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jed”, he handed over Han Solo and his party to his employer Jabba.
In a critical moment, Solo accidentally hits Boba Fett’s rocket pack, causing him to fall into Sarlacc’s mouth, leaving Boba dead.
The drama version undertakes this setting, and the story connects the easter eggs of the second season of “The Mandalorian”.
Boba Fett embarks on a new adventure after helping Din Djarin rescue Baby Yoda.
Above, some background on “The Book of Boba Fett”.
Of course, if you are a Star Wars fan, you must know more than this. But friends who don’t know Star Wars don’t have to worry. The story of the drama is relatively independent, and the threshold for viewing is very low.
Whether it is rich characterization, or wonderful special effects and fighting, you can get into the play in minutes.

The first episode adopts the mode of interlude and two-line parallel. The story begins with Boba Fett and fellow Fennec returning to Tatooine.
He killed Jabba, the mob boss, and occupied his palace. Immediately afterwards, Boba healed in the sanatorium in the palace.
He seemed to have returned to the planet Kamino, and also recalled the scene in the belly of the giant beast sarlacc.
Of course Boba Fett didn’t die here, he escaped from sarlacc’s mouth and fell into a coma in the desert.
Unfortunately, a group of Tusken Raiders spotted him passing by and took Boba captive to the camp.
At night, Boba Fett wakes up to escape.
Unexpectedly, Rodian, who was also captured by the side, was dragged back, causing them to be found by the sentinel…
Soon, the dreaming Boba Fett was woken up by Fennec.
After Boba Fett occupied the territory, he became the underground king of Tatooine, and everyone paid tribute to him.
But even so, there are still people who are not convinced by Boba Fett’s rule.
The next day, Boba Fett took everyone to the Sanctuary, the entertainment venue of Mos Espa.
The boss obediently offered the protection fee, but they were ambushed before they could go out a few steps.
This part of the play is very exciting, everyone can feel it——
Although the escort arrived in time, Boba Fett was safe, but he entered the dormant chamber again because of the injury.
In the dormant cell, Boba Fett returned to that dream.
Boba Fett failed to escape, and after being caught again by Tusken Raider, he and Rodian were pulled into the desert to dig black melons.
Digging and digging, Rodian found something unusual. At first glance it looks like a claw, but upon closer inspection, it is still alive.
Before everyone could react, a behemoth appeared in front of everyone. It was a monster with four arms.
Soon, the monster went crazy, not only beating Rodian, but also killing Tusken Raider.
At a critical moment, Boba Fett strangled the monster’s neck with a chain.
After a long stalemate, Boba Fett actually killed the monster with his bare hands. Tusken Raider on the side was stunned.
The rescued Tusken Raider relays the story of Boba Fett back to the Horde. Boba Fett was recognized and he was given a source of water.
And this is just the first step for him to become the king of the underground…
The above is part of the plot at the beginning of “The Book of Boba Fett”.
It is visually estimated that the later story will continue the two-line parallel mode.
As he looks back on how Boba Fett, who survived the death, became the king of the dungeon step by step, he shows the various thorny problems he encountered in managing Tatooine.
“The Book of Boba Fett” is very well connected to the original, and the original part is not obtrusive, and the overall look and feel is still very good.
Especially the two fighting scenes were very enjoyable to watch.
I have to admit that as a derivative drama of a derivative drama, the quality of “The Book of Boba Fett” is still passable.
