re: The Book of Boba Fett (Chapter 7 FINALE SPOILERS pg.41)

Olyphant is just injured huh?

I think so. Correct me if I’m wrong but it looked like Bane purposefully shot him in his shooting shoulder. Then made quick work of that deputy to send a message. It was all calculated imo. Now Vanth can’t fight against Bane in all this.

I’m really hoping the stand off is between Boba and Bane, not Mando and Bane. I like that Mando is a part of this show now but Boba needs his moment. I think a stand-off with Bane will make up for his absence lately.

Whatever they do I trust though. They haven’t let me down yet.

I still like the idea of having Luke wake up from a nightmare that is the sequels. It's what would happen if he took the path of a solitary hermit who gives no shits.

I mean, they could fix the sequels if they really wanted to. The theory that "the future isn't written in ink" is a big movie/tv/comic book plot point that spans multiple movie/tv/comic book franchises, and has been around for a long time. There are ways to show that the sequels are a version of the future in the SW universe, but what we are seeing now with Mando and BOBF is the present. And we are talking about a universe that is built around the Force as the core of its nature/science. Any one of the remaining Jedi could have a Force vision/dream of the future we've seen, and tell Luke so he can make sure it doesn't happen, at least his part of the sequel mess which I think is the fan's biggest gripe.

The problem is would the mouse and Kennedy be able to swallow their pride enough to allow it happen. I think if Kennedy or some other higher up at Disney went to F&F and said that they realize the sequels have put them in box when it comes to telling current stories, and they are ok with F&F figuring out a way to fix it, F&F would be more than willing to do it. And they could figure out a way to "fix" the sequels without totally saying they never happened and aren't cannon. But again, would Kennedy or the higher ups at the mouse be willing to admit their failure?

The sequels are already set in motion, if that us a future. Palpatine is still alive. Theres still a fleet of Star Destroyers being built. The First Order is forming in the unknown regions.

In that scenario of it being a possible future, the only thing that would change at this point in the timeline is how those issues are dealt with. If anything at all. Because unfortunately with seeing visions, in many media forms, the path characters take to prevent that future actually causes it. Its already seen in the Prequels with Anakin’s visions.

The young Luke CGI was crazy good.

Yeah, that’s ridiculous how good that looked.

The assumption is that the "Performance Artist" role listed on IMDB is the Luke stand-in. That would mean that they're deepfaking this actor, Graham Hamilton.

he said "may never" like they might or might not ever cross paths again.

Right, he emphasized the age difference and passage of time difference to highlight that. It wasn't a prohibition, and probably not even really a warning, but more of a "consider this carefully" thing.

If they want to keep that stuff, fine. I didn't like any of it, but I can live with that stuff still happening. What needs to be corrected is their totally assassination of Luke's character. That can be changed, and I think most hard core SW fans would take that tradeoff.

Yes in some media forms trying to correct future outcomes causes them to happen, but the "future has yet to be written in ink" plot has also been in many media forms. Just because Anakin couldn't stop Padme from dying doesn't mean that Luke couldn't decide not to consider killing Ben. Heck, all someone with knowledge of Luke's future would have to tell Luke is "when things look darkest with family, always remember that you never gave up on your father".

For me personally, I'd be willing to except that Palpatine is still alive, the First Order is being formed, and whatever else they want to keep as long as they just fix Luke's character and not make him a ultimate failure in the end.

He didn't say "may never" like he's barred from seeing him, he said "may never" like they might or might not ever cross paths again.

Disney only made it 5 episodes without Grogu & Mando being in the same episode and is already making him chose a destination.

While the qualifier "may" does not rule out a get-together, the separation would be significant for multiple seasons while training to be a "great Jedi" without attachments. Disney ain't letting that happen, particularly since the series has been centered around their attachment.

I wonder if Grogu won't play a bigger role in the Ashoka series....I mean her attachment to Anakin royally screwed her up and almost ended her life. So she knows what Grogu is going through....maybe he will transition to being trained by Ashoka...IDK just spitballing here.

Good possibiliy.

After watching the cavalcade of star characters stampede thru Boba Fett's series, I'm convinced there will be crossover character(s) in every series from here on out, much like most Marvel movies used this recipe post-Avengers.

I think Luke looks great and the voice sounds like young Hammill, but my one gripe is the voice is very wooden and robotic to me. Which makes sense because it's apparently done by a voice synthesizer and not an actor.

I thought so too, but he was also talking to a Young child, so it may have been trying to be very basic and understandable as a teaching voice. The only thing I found weird was when he asked if he’d be seeing Ahsoka again.
