Feeling a bit mixed on this. I like the more villainy Boba Fett than the anti-hero he is in Mandalorian.

The Mandalorian actress Ming-Na Wen took to Twitter to confirm that production on Disney+’s forthcoming The Mandalorian spinoff series The Book of Boba Fett has finally been completed after six months of filming in Los Angeles. The series is expected to make its debut later this December.

I feel the same way; I'm thinking ditto for many of the older fans as well.

The reason for Boba Fett's mystique in the past was largely due to the mystery (and shadiness) surrounding bounty hunters.  After the prequel and sequel trilogies and then The Mandalorian series, there could well be some weariness from viewers and fans on the subject.

how in the world is Ming-Na Wen already 58 years old?? She looks so young, she also kicks ass in her films. Literally.

Two episodes in and seems this is not as compelling as The Mandalorian. The flashback story with the Tusken Raiders is also quite derivative. It's not bad though and I'll still be watching. Hopefully things will turn out much better for the next five episodes.

3 episode and yet I see it lacking in action. Also I find Boba Fett's fighting skills very ordinary.

Yup. I keep waiting for him to go all out badass. So far, still waiting....  :P

Not used to this "new" Boba Fett. I used to read a lot of the expanded universe when I was in college and Boba Fett was a mysterious, lone wolf, bounty hunter who never took his mask off. Didn't speak much too. This new direction for the character is off-putting to me.

One episode for me so far. Not quite engaging as the Mandalorian.  Saka ko na lang tatapusin siguro when all episodes are out and I have nothing else to watch.

Hmmm.....somehow the arguably best episode so far in The Book of Boba Fett does not even include Boba Fett.... :-\

Exactly! For some reason all they have been doing is to try to make Boba sympathetic. I miss the scum that he was.  ;D

This version of Boba Fett talks too much and takes his mask off a lot. 

Mando is the prototypical lone gunslinger in a spaghetti western plotline, with his mask replacing Clint Eastwood's stoicism (to be fair, Clint Eastwood really doesn't have that many facial expressions). 

Meanwhile, Daimyo Fett seems to be Charles Bronson with a heart of gold, except he isn't the underdog in this one as he has a posse.  Not very compelling, to be honest.  I hope the last half of the series is much better.

Yep. Even the actor agrees

https://geektyrant.com/news/temuera-morrison-says-boba-fett-talks-far-to-much-in-his-star-wars-solo-series

Similar to how Mark Hamill felt about Luke's characterization in The Last Jedi.

Was turned off already after episode 2. Antayin ko na lang matapos bago ko panoorin uli.

yup, the plot for the whole series sucks ... naghihintay ka for the story to develop tapos ayun tapos na, walang kwenta

Agree with the comments - this series was unnecessary. They should’ve preserved Boba Fett’s appeal as the “cool bad guy”. It eventually felt like just a set-up for the next season of The Mandalorian. The visuals/effects were top notch though.

For spin-offs so far this year, Peacemaker > The Book of Boba Fett.

Good action-packed finale, but it came in much too late in the game. Overall, the whole series feels more like filler material rather than a main event. Disappointing treatment for such a fan favorite character as Boba Fett.

So I watched the entire series yesterday and today and... Still disappointed. It was nice that Boba's new "softer"side was explained on the series (staying with the Tuskens for years). That doesn't change the fact that this change was forced to make way for a newer badass in town, Mando.

This series was just all over the place with uneven pacing, lame characterization, unnecessary  cameos, and story detours.

The final episode gave great action, though. But it made me think, was the Rancor necessary? Boba had Slave 1! He could have just used that. There was no scene that indicated that it was out of commission.

And that guy doing the full 360 turn before firing? ridiculous! haha! But this was directed ata ni Robert Rodriguez. Parang signature niya yun. May scene ata na ganun sa Desperados hehehe...

Just finished it now. I say it picked up starting ep5 when Mando appeared.
It is still a must watch if you follow the mandalorian series.
