The Book of Boba Fett

Definitely the best Star Wars-themed series so far, especially since there isn't much competition. The broader story spread across Grogu and the Mandalorian contributes to the narrative, because it helps the universe take on a more coherent dimension. Temuera Morrison was pretty good, he's still got it, especially when it comes to charisma, and you can’t ask him at his age to move like an athlete. The natural face of Luke Skywalker in the penultimate episode is the temporary highlight of the 3D scanning, few bugs notwithstanding. The only weakness I see in Boba Fett's young gang members, they are supremely unlikeable, they look like teenagers aimlessly hanging out in a shopping mall. (14.07.2022)

Excellent low-cost take on Lawrence of Arabia, if that was Favreau’s intention, hats off. Visually it almost looks like a three-reel movie, the desert scenes caress the eye, the train robbery is a showcase of top-notch editing and very decent special effects for TV. The lizard on the head, the Tusken customs, the making of a mallet and the final battle dance around the fire, excellent. As you can see, Favreau is a man in the right place and one can only regret that he didn't also work on Obi-Wan Kenobi. (01.07.2022)
