Don't hate the show, but felt like it should have been filler episodes of The Mandalorian: Season Two instead.

It was a huge disappointment. Hate is over the top, but definitely not something I'll ever watch again.

I will say, and I'm not sure if this is a criticism or not, but I wish Mando was Boba Fett instead. Does that make sense?

It makes total sense. Mandalorian should have been a Boba Fett show. Grogu could have served the purpose of softening him up from his old evil ways, instead of the Sand People.

I heard it's because Disney said no to Jon Favreau on using Boba Fett at first. BIG MISTAKE. Because now Mando is more like Boba Fett than Boba Fett himself.

I love everything about this show. We finally got to see how Boba Fett escaped the sarlacc. Watching him learn the ways of the Tuskens and build his own gaderffii was amazing. I didn't feel like the episodes with Din Djarin, Grogu, Luke, and Ahsoka were much of a departure. To me, this show is about deciding who you want to be, not what someone else thinks you should be.
The MCU has a few good quotes about this.
"Everyone fails at who they're supposed to be, Thor. The measure of a person, of a hero, is how well they succeed at being who they are." Frigga
"At some point, we all have to choose between what the world wants you to be and who you are." Natasha Romanoff
To me, that's what this entire Boba Fett series is all about.
Jango set Boba on a path to be the galaxy's most notorious bounty hunter, but that path is the same one that led Jango to an early death. After almost dying in the sarlacc, Boba wants something more. His time with the Tuskens taught him, "You can only get so far without a tribe." He wants a better life for himself and those around him.
I understand not everyone was prepared for this departure from the Boba they imagined. I wasn't expecting it either, but I'm often more pleased with the unexpected.
Din Djarin has his own similar decision to make. Does he continue to follow the dogma of not removing his helmet? Is the Darksaber truly the best way to choose the leader of Mandalore? Grogu made a decision as well. He chose to return to his friends instead of continuing his training. Luke made a similar choice in The Empire Strikes Back. I'm excited to see how all these life decisions play out.
The Book of Boba Fett isn't perfect, nothing is, but I enjoyed it immensely. I found it thought provoking, inspiring, and highly entertaining. I even enjoyed the Mods and their bikes. Don't even get me started on Cobb Vanth and Cad Bane! They're spoiling us with a wealth of Star Wars riches.
It's a great time to be a Star Wars fan!

I didn't dislike any of it, but certainly a mixed bag of high highs and low lows.

The show was just ok in the end. Mando and Cobb Vanth were the best parts of it though.

At least Rodney didn't spew constant negative crap about rival franchises.

NGL, it's feels weird to just be trashtalking Rodney after he nuked his acccount.
Just seems like be done in bad taste considering we all thought of him as a friend before...

Fair enough, let's all leave him alone then. I don't think that's really trash talking though, we usually rib each other like this all the time. His behavior here before he left really left a bad taste in my mouth.

I like Rodney but his overreaction to spoilers is meme worthy.
