Echoing what other fans said, the mistake of Book of Boba Fett was not calling it The Mandalorian: The Book of Boba Fett.

It was season 2.5.

I leave you with this:

A potentially interesting idea, but poorly executed. I won’t miss it.

Wholly agree.

In fact they could have just called everything “Star Wars” and just had each season be slightly different ie mando, boba, ashoka etc. almost like a soap opera, just constant and unending.

I don’t think what it was called was an issue, it was just not very good.

Should’ve been a one season show without the Mandalorian. It started off really strong, but then you could see the studio meddling with it.

Disney Star Wars was pretty much doomed the moment they decided to make a trilogy without having any plan for a trilogy.

They were initially able to mask that fact with early financial success that was based entirely on the strength of the brand that they purchased, and not their creative output.

The only real exception was The Mandalorian season 1, which I think primarily speaks to the talent of Jon Favreau, but Baby Yoda doomed that show with its massive merchandising success.

Maybe making a show about a crime lord that doesn’t do crimes wasn’t a good idea
