I guess I'm enjoying the Book of Boba Fett because I didn't really have an opinion of Boba Fett. I've watched the original movies many times, but I've never watched any animated TV or read a single Star Wars book. All I knew about Boba Fett was his 2 minutes of screen time in Empire and 1 minute in Jedi.

He seemed like a bad-ass in Empire, with a cool ship and cool armour and Vader seemed to respect him. But other than that? What was he really like? I dunno, I never really thought about it. So for me, the Book of Boba Fett is the first fleshing out of the character.

They could have gone in an R-rated direction where he's a ruthless killing machine, and I probably would have liked that too. I'd probably bet that side of him will come out by the end of the series. But I doubt it would have been a good story if he was 100% ruthless killing machine 100% of the time.

For me, Boba Fett is coming across like Jules in Pulp Fiction. A bad-ass m*********er when he needs to be, but otherwise more measured and thoughtful.

Maybe for Boba Fett, the Sarlacc pit was the equivalent of the miracle or divine intervention that Jules insists saved his and Vincent's lives. A near death experience can change even the baddest m*********er, Jules or Boba.
