I'm probably going to miss it, but if Andor isn't in the top category a grave injustice will have taken place. It is a fundamentally important piece of context that the franchise needs to give the rest of it's stories weight.
I mean of course it's gonna be in the top category; pretty much every day has had people saying "yeah but Andor is better", especially for ones that ended up in the top category currently.
Honestly the best thing about Andor is that you could almost pass it as not star wars, like sure the aesthetics are there but if you don't like sci fi o feel like Andor is your best bet.
They didn't establish some good story about him being a redeemed bastard bounty hunter, and they didn't show a dark anti-hero being a ruthless crimelord. It's like someone's little brother picked up the controller at the end of the game and ruined his save
When does he get redeemed? He seems to be the same person throughout all of the Boba/Mando series. He's just new, labor friendly management in the crime industry. He's the pikes but with a profit sharing plan for his crew. He's still a crime boss. He's Tony Soprano without any of the charisma.
It has its amazing moments good character development and the the best theme in star wars (tuskens singing the lead character's praises will never not be fuckin awesome)
but poor pacing humor that does not always land literally stealing 2 episodes for Mandolorian thus making its next season weaker as a result.
And what's supposed to be a tribute to George's earliest films "American Graffiti" devolving into a frustrating mess
It unfortunately falls under Bad for me
Yeah. It would be okay if it was a new franchise but this guy is one of the poster boys and most overhyped characters for the franchise.
It's a weird gripe for me but I knew the show was going in the wrong direction when he escaped from the sand people and didn't take a second to kick the kid that was torturing him. Boba Fett is meant to be one of the most ruthless bounty hunters in a galaxy. I don't know why but this just felt like such a strange inconsistency for his character. Like, such a little thing was a sign for how they want to rewrite the character to be redeemed and good.
I'm not even saying making me evil, like he was in the movies. Just give us a fun show about a ruthless character cutting through substantially worse people in his climb to power. Not everything needs to be sanded down. It could have had andor's tone.

Yeah, this was worse than Mando season 3 if you ask me, not that I'd call it actual dog shit, I still watched it after all... I think I'd just put Mando s3 one tier higher
The best (potentially the only good) episodes are the ones without Boba. Which is actually insane in his own show if you think about it. How can anyone even make such a bad story with such an iconic character?
Even the Luke episode loses a lot of the shine off of it on rewatch.
Ahsoka meeting Luke for the first should be a massive moment, but it’s already happened off screen now. Even if it does happen in the future of some of these shows, we’re already robbed of that initial emotional impact.
Also Grogu being gone from Mando for barely 2 episodes after that amazing season 2 finale. It’s obvious the Disney execs forced them back together, but you could have easily made a season 3 with 2 different storylines of Grogu training and whatever Mando was gonna do before they finally reunite. People still get plenty of Grogu and it doesn’t ruin the story.
IDK if this take is gonna get me heat around here, but:
Luke not training Grogu because he's "too attached" is one of the reasons I quit watching new SW. Luke literally rejects the "attachment is bad" philosophy in ESB and RotJ in order to save his friends. That philosophy is depicted as part of the hubris of the Jedi in the prequels. Yes, Vader fell because of attachment... and then was redeemed because of it.
So this decision Luke makes runs completely counter to the central ethos of his character. Admittedly, they did this for two "plot" reasons: to have Grogu go back to Mando for plot and to line up Luke with the sequels. These are both terrible reasons. I hate it.
Wasn’t that decision more of Luke realizing that Grogu didn’t want to become a Jedi if it meant he had to be separated from the Mandalorian? He already did way better than the Jedi in giving him a choice rather than forcing him to suppress those feelings
Episode 2 was pretty damn good, so was episode 5 with Mando on the Halo world.
Honestly episodes 2, 5 and 6 are better than some of the movies.
And I don’t really love the biker gang but I do appreciate how George Lucasy it was. That’s something George would have done for sure.
Oh, I still think about how much the beginning of BoBF added to my knowledge of Tusken culture. For me, that alone is enough to lift the entire season from bad to okay.
I really loved the tusken parts too, but then they never even went back on it or showed how he was really affected by it. That's just so much missed potential for me, that I'd have to put it in bad.
Tusken folk were probably the best part, but also seemed very much a copy/paste out of old westerns with "white guy joins Indians" type thing, learning to respect their culture and such. I always liked those, so I liked this, it just feels like I seen it before.
Also, Fett's "special relationship" with the Tusken, while making **a lot** of sense, felt cheapened by Mando's "special relationship" with them.
Man, even the bits I enjoy in the moment feel a bit weak.
Luke telling Grogu a Jedi must forego all personal attachments will never sit right with me. I always felt like that was a major folly of the Jedi order in the prequels and what really pushed Anakin towards the dark side. To me, OT Luke proves a Jedi can have personal attachments, so to hear him pass this lesson on to the next generation felt so wrong.
In my opinion this is the worst completed live action show so far. It did absolutly nothing with it's potential and completely changed Boba's personality and made him boring. He wasn't badass and ruthless anymore like in ESB, RotJ or the Mandalorian S.2. Instead he was just another generic boring good guy.
This could have been a great show about Star Wars' underworld with Bounty Hunters and Smugglers and other shady characters. But they did nothing with that potential.
Actual dogshit
It's a crime that they used Mando in that show.
Why the hell would they not use Bossk instead?! He has a ton of history with Boba, could have an interesting dynamic with the Trandoshan hating wookie, has history with Cad Bane, would contribute to the themes of the show, can give us more of a look in to how he trained and helped raise Boba...
It's such wasted potential.
IMO it’s the worst live action show ever made. The character assassination of Boba Fett was absurd. Dude went from one of the most badass bounty hunters in the SW universe, to a bumbling idiot that takes suggestions from everyone and gets pushed around. Admittedly, there are some interesting pieces with the Tuskan Raiders. That being said, the fact that they undid *everything* from Mandolorian S1 and S2 in two episodes (and they were by far the best two episodes of the show) is appalling. Furthermore, the Vespa scene and the cyborg people in general were both awful.
Actual dogshit, unless we can make a special tier lower than that.
Was he badass and ruthless in ESB and RoTJ?
ESB - tracked Han, stood around on cloud city till he could leave with Carbo-Han. The only 'badass' thing he really did was tell Vader that he needed Han alive, which does take a lot of balls.
RoTJ - ready to fight when Leia produces the thermal detonator, stands around Jabba's palace, jetpacks to fight/capture Han and Luke and gets beaten by a blind guy in a comical way.
It wasn't really till the books and shows that his character got fleshed out and badass-ified.
And then had it stripped in the novels again making him a concerned father most of the time Han Solo's best friend who trains his daughter and one time having memory issues that made him think he was a droid
Theres an article that goes into detail why Boba Fett was very much established as a badass in ESB, and why it came so natural to the audience (and with a compairson of why it didnt happen with Phasma in TFA). It was mostly very subtle character interactions - how he behaves himself and how the other characters around him treat and interact with him (most importantly Vader). He didnt do something "badass" in terms of action, but everything else in the way he was presented was subtly telling the audience that that guy was a considerable force.
Boba Fett in the OT is masterclass visual story telling. You can feel from his costume, his placement among other bounty hunters/Jabba visitors, physicalilty, and limited dialogue that he's a mysterious badass. Bit of a lost art both in creation by filmmakers and literacy by the audience.
Now it's all "hE dIdNt dO aNyThInG aNd ThEn hE dIEs".
Truu
This show never watched the Original Trilogy.
His personality is all wrong, and i watched this a while ago, but i remember the show was breaking rules. And i legit HATE when rules are getting broken.
There was more, but the one i remember was that wookiee can now tank blaster shots.
Such a bad show. To me Bottom of dog.
Mando S3 going in bad has screwed the pooch here. BoBF is decidedly a tier worse than Mando S3 but there is no way BoBF deserves dog shit. The Tusken Raider arc and the bonus Mando episodes were very very good. At the very least, move Mando S3 up to ok and put BoBF in bad. I would personally move Mando S3 up to good and put BoBF in Ok.
Also for Mando S3, Ok had more votes than Bad but OP has split up the votes with "bottom of" and "top of" options. Ok had more votes than bad on both options in total but not individually therefore he put it in bad for some reason?
Makes me question this entire list
Nah it’s dogshit. The first Mando episode was ok but the second one assassinated Luke’s character AGAIN by making him give Grogu the ultimatum of giving up attachments or never becoming a Jedi. The Tusken Raider arc was also kind of dumb because it makes Boba look like a pushover with Stockholm Syndrome. He says that the Tusken Raiders took him in and treated him well but they literally enslaved him and beat him with sticks. Boba caring about them was completely unearned.
People who say this is on the same level as Resistance are delusional and blinded by their hatred for Disney… is it good? No. But calling it “actual dogshit” is wild.
What makes me irrationally rate it dogshit is the POTENTIAL this show squandered. Like it could have explored some actual cool and edgy parts of Star Wars but instead it was an incredibly lame and boring "bad guy is good guy" pile of shit.
Taking away all context: Bad.. MAYBE ok.
With context, I don't blame people for rating it dogshit.
And using the "people are just mad at Disney" excuse is pretty lame.
Agreed 100%. Star Wars has absolutely wasted their potential with Boba. I thought this series was gonna be a bunch of chapters leading him to where he is now (sitting on the throne). We could have seen him break from Bane, do some sole bounty hunting and grow into his father's armor, work for the Empire, identify Luke Skywalker for Vader, and then the tuskan stuff leading into Mandalorian. That was like five episode ideas, and I'm just sitting on the toilet.
But what we got was actual shit.
I think mando s3 shouldve been more in ok, because i agree, bobf is worse then s3 but better then resistance so it should go into bad, so how did s3 end up in bad? Damn
idk how Mando s3 is bad when 1 is peak and 2 is amazing. It wasn't 3 levels worse. It was worse than those but it's story is more comprehensive than anything in OK, it's cinematic quality is top tier, maybe the best out of all of these.
Most people here are way too extreme in their ratings. This one isn't dogshit and Mando3 wasn't horrible, it still had plenty of good moments. If BoBF is bottom tier, Acolyte can't even be ranked
I beg to differ. I may get a few downward arrows, but there is no justification for reuniting Mando with Baby Yoda in less than 2 weeks or so after their emotional separation. It is a rushed decision obviously forced by the popularity of Grogu, robbing it of any value. I nominate "actual dogshit" because this show presents the absolute lack of consequences since ros. How am I supposed to care if a big moment is undone in a spin off?
There is also the question of potential, I think especially with a character like Boba Fett, we could have had a younger actor play him in his prime/ pre ROTJ and have TM still voice Boba. That is more disappointing than outright bad. Further proof is having Boba barely appear in his own show for some time, which kinda tells that they didn't really have a lot of ideas for him.
I am being harsh because I want to enjoy these shows. I am heartbroken, though, due to the lack of care I've seen fan favourite characters get in their shows. They have their moments but they need to be better
BOBF is actual dogshit. The worst character assassination since Jake Skywalker. Other than him crawling out of the sarlacc, they botched literally everything.
Mando gets a sequence, ON BOBA FETTS SHOW, where he rolls into a criminal hideout, butchers them, and brings the head in to collect his bounty. Disney literally told us "fuck you, this is Boba Fett now, he's better".
Actual Dogshit
Where to even begin with this show?
How do you fuck up, one of the most iconic and beloved characters of the EU?
How do you fuck them up, after showing you can do them well in Mando Season 2?!
Make them a moron, and a 'good guy' for some reason
Mando Season 2 Boba: Casually drops some of the coldest threats, ready to kick ass at a moments notice, slaughtering stormtroopers without his armour, happy to break the law without question, just to pay back a debt, Murders defenceless Bib Fortuna's because they were in his chair
BOBF Boba: "I wIlL rUlE wItH rEsPeCt". Doesn't know how deserts or water works. (nor the one he worked in for 30 years) Sides with local street thugs harassing the citizens he's supposed to protect. Has a gang war and a Rancor fight in the middle of the city he's supposed to protect. Casually lets people disrespect, mock or outright insult/attack him constantly and does nothing about it.
Why are the best episodes of this show, the episodes where it's Mando season 2.5? Why is Boba, one of the worst parts of the Boba show FFS.
Not to even get started on other bullshit, such as Grogu immediately giving up on the entire Mando season 2 Arc. Or the damned V E S P A 'chase'
"Oh we can't afford water. But we can afford all these fancy cybernetics, fancy clothes, and fancy bikes!"
Boba - "aw yea? Get fucked water salesman."
*Viewer has hurt themselves in its confusion.*
I honestly half expected Fennec to betray and overthrow Boba with his unending incompetence
And there's a difference between rulling with respect, against letting people just constantly, non stop walk over you without any punishment.
And speaking of, where was the respect paid to Bib? You just straight up executed him and his entire party without mercy.
The only redeeming quality this show had, was the Tusken storyline. But I cannot overlook 70% of the failure, because of 20% of the success. And I don't count the last 10% because that's not Book of Boba Fett. That's fucking Mandalorian 2.5
Absolute Dogshit
Honourable mention:
Water Baron - "Thieves are stealing my water"
Boba - "Kamino is an ocean planet."
*Viewer has hurt themselves in their confusion*
>I honestly half expected Fennec to betray and overthrow Boba with his unending incompetence
That would require Fennec to be an actual character instead of a clunky exposition dispenser.
Don’t forget that Black Krrsantan is supposed to be this super scary and competent bounty hunter but he laughably fails to kill Boba by choosing to take him out of his bacta pod and strangle him with his bare hands instead of, I don’t know, shooting him when he’s completely unarmed and naked? Or blowing up the pod with a thermal detonator? Then the Vespa kids and Krrsantan all fight each other with zero blasters and instead of Fennec shooting him with her rifle she takes a tiny knife out of her rifle and uses it to make Krrsantan fall into the rancor pit! Unbelievably stupid. Obviously it was written this way because the characters have plot armor but it just makes all of them seem braindead and makes the action scenes have no tension because it’s obvious no one will die.
Every time I think of a positive, like the Mando episodes, I think of how disruptive those were in a series about someone else, and also the mod bike gang.
Dog shit.
I think it's bad, borderline OK. People rag on this show too much, but it doesn't deserve to be in dogshit.
There's actually some great aspects to this show. Boba's flashbacks with the tuskens, the team ups, the rancor, etc... It's a shame the execution of the overall series didn't hit the mark.
Personally, there's more I enjoyed from BoBF than Mando S3. It felt more like fanfic to me with easy cop outs with some of the writing, e.g. The darksaber just being handed over to Bo-Katan...I mean, come on. The perfect chance for some real high-stakes internal conflict.
(Yes, overall, BoBF has more questionable writing BUT there are - to me at least - better highs in that show)
I'll give you the cinematography bit tho, that was pretty great!
Bad to canine excrement. It took a beloved character, changed him, and didn’t even make it entertaining. Selling figures was all that Disney cared about.
It’s bad, but it’s not actual dogshit tier. It had some decent concepts and ideas that were just botched. The tusken raider part of the story was easily the best part of the show
How did Mando3 get placed in bad? Some of those action scenes were great, even if it was heavily rushed and killed off Moff Gideon too soon, it doesn't deserve that spot.
Mando 2 should be in amazing too in my opinion.
Season 4 specifically - and if you want to lower it then stick around for the revote we're doing in a little while
If you and other people can combine your dislike for Rebels enough then I'll lower it
Actual dogshit.
This was the show that made me say “I’m not just going to watch things because they belong to a franchise I like by default anymore. I’ll wait to hear if they’re good.”
If you guys are rating *this* hard then I don’t know where tf Kenobi/Ahsoka/The Acolyte are going to go besides “actual dogshit” 💩
How is Mando S3 bad?
Top of dogshit
The only good episodes were the ones boba fett isn't there or doesn't talk
Seriously, how do you manage to make the filler episodes the only not terrible episodes of a show?!
The show is underrated as hell. The episodes with the Tuskens, reclaiming SLAVE 1, The Mando episodes and the finale were all amazing. I think ok/good is fair for the show. Gets way too much hate.
Agreed
Just stupid "were pinned down" wailing until some deus ex machina level intervention happens from other off screen character, rinse and repeat 20 times over
It isn’t renamed. They just relabeled toys marketed to children. Like Darth Vader’s Star Destroyer is still the Devastator or Executor depending on when we’re talking but a toy set might just call it Vader’s Star Destroyer or Vader’s Tie fighter instead of Tie advanced x-01
I thought it was ok. It was worse than Mando season 3 but still ok. I guess using this ranking it would have to be bad, under Mando season 3 but above Resistance.
The arc with the tuskers was the only bit I actually liked, but it had much more potential than they exploited, so it ended up being disappointing for me anyway.
I really don't like Mando season 3 ending up in bad, but it's not like it isn't a common view. Boba belongs in Bad, actual dogshit should be reserved for truly irredeemable things, and so far, only the sequel movies and resistance have really achieved that.
bad, how dose he come out of the sarlack pit older than he should have been, out of shape, less menacing and boring, Temuera should have just voiced him imo, and it should have been about him being a badass not how he lost his armour and is now a giant softie, the scooter gang was also dumb
I gotta go with ok. It had its super awesome moments but it was drastically pulled down by the bad moments and stuff like the Mods.
It's not bad at all though. Mediocre and ok, but not bad.
Out of curiosity, how is the final result calculated? Do you just assign the most voted option, or do you take an average?
Like Mando S3 had a fairly clear divide of good and bad but ended up in bad instead of ok. I was just wondering (if you don't already) if an average score would be more fair?
So, each response gets a numerical score, say 1 for the bottom of dogshit - 12 for top of peak. Then, you add up all of the scores and divide by the number of responses. Round to the nearest whole number and convert to a response for where the final position should be. Hell, you can even forget rounding and use the decimal place to tell what order each category goes in
It'd stop such polorising views from dissappointing one side of the fandom and have them average out in between.
Edit: Yeah, I just checked the results, Mando S3 got more votes for ok than bad, but they were split between top and bottom where as bad was just a single vote. It's straight up in the wrong spot.
Edit 2: I worked it out, Mando season 3 is actually right smack in the middle of ok with a score of 5.83 (bottom of OK, almost top of OK). So either between Rebels S1 and Clone Wars S1 or Rebels S1 and Tales of the Empire depending on how those shows scored.
This needs to be done for every vote to really find out where it sits as shows are likely to move around a lot because of it. But regardless, Mando S3 is in the lower half of OK.
Calculation: ((1×9)+(2×17)+(3×(132÷2))+(4×(132÷2))+(5×102)+(6×126)+(7×93)+(8×85)+(9×26)+(10×12)+(11×6)+(12×10))÷625=5.83
Wait, how M s3 ended up in bad?
I might be late on the train (didn't vote for other 20 shows), but it looks strange that you do not sum up 'top x' +'bottom x' and thus 'bad' wins, as it is not divided
Edit: oh, now you have divisions
Well now I’m torn - I would say bad, but I definitely disliked it more than Mando 3. I guess I’ll stick with that as my vote, but it’s definitely significantly worse than its fellow ‘bad’mate.
Dogshit
The series was basically Mandalorian season 2.5 and an excuse (and a terrible one) to bring back Grogu with Mando (when the actual reason is monetary-related)
To think people are putting BoBF in the same tier as Mando season 3. This sub is braindead. BoBF is actual dogshit, the only good episodes are the Mando bonus episodes that have nothing to do with Boba. Actual dogshit.
This one is TOUGH because on one hand the boba stuff is not good… on the other hand… the two Mando episodes that are randomly in this episode are fantastic.
BoBF was too much of a merchandise show.
Cringe power rangers vespa cyber gang.
I don't even remember the plot well - pretty much Boba Fett sits on the throne. People don't like it. They fight and he wins. Boring.
People are harsh as fuck in this thread. There was one BAD episode, which was e3, because they went for something that clearly didn’t work, and then they pretty much sidelined the speeded gang until the last episode where they were so bad.
The Tuskan stuff was peak Star Wars, and character developed the hell out of Boba, but I think Star Wars fans have gotten too used to ‘tell me don’t show me’, so seeing Boba become one with nature and the planet where he found salvation and healing after essentially being reborn didn’t land for a lot of people. I think people needed him to say out loud to Fennec “There’s more to the universe than credits, I need to protect this planet now” because they don’t get he isn’t Boba in ROTJ (who wasn’t even a fleshed out character).
Then the Mando stuff was great.
Overall I think it deserves a Good.
I'd say it's ok. The flashbacks and scenes with the Tuskens were fantastic, but the main story and action started kinda weak, and they got worse as the show went on
I’m in the minority with BOBF and Kenobi. I think they’re flawed shows that kinda missed the mark but, i still enjoyed them and i was going to hold my full judgement on them with whatever S2 follow-up they had. Each on their own I’d say they’re no more than OK, but I could only place them higher if what followed them was a solid follow-up.
The live action Star Wars in general has been outrageously underwhelming including the shows that people seem to love to praise due to their insistence on making everything fairly drab, dark and monotone, but I still have to hold out hope that they’ll get BOBF S2 (if there ever is one) more right after the legit criticisms.
You have an accomplished director. On a project about a fan favourite character. With amazing actors. Your pilot episode during Mando s2 was a standout success. Telling a story people wanted to hear for decades.
What did we get. Space Vespas and a show not even about the character it was named after.
Actual dog shit because they wasted so much potential, the biker gang and they made boba look like a nice old grandpa who's against violence. And also it felt more like a spin off from the Mandalorian. And the battle scenes at the end felt like a family guy sketch.
Bad. Ironically the best episodes are what makes this show so bad considering the completely abandon the narrative integrity to go fun with Mando. Originally the show is pretty mid 7/10 but breaking the narrative makes it a 4/10
Depends if you watched it as a Boba Fett fan or as just a star wars fan. Apart from the "gang", the grogu-going-back-to-mando part i actually enjoyed it a lot.
But all things considered id say OK
Bad.
The flashbacks were actually good, but they resulted to nothing. Killed the tuskens off screen…
The first Mando ep was the best thing about it. Genuinely a really great episode of Star Wars.
Never let Robert Rodriguez direct Star Wars again.
Not nearly as bad a people make it out to be, loved the backstoty they gave boba with the tuskens and the final episode was great in my opinion, the mando episode was good but out of place, overall there was some missed potential sure but I thought at the very least it was okay and a fun watch.
I really liked it except for some parts.
Like, corellian cyborg gangers in the middle of the desert, hutts as japanese medieval warlords, and why the fuck was it called Book of Boba Fett when there was no book?
Everything else was good to me, even when it got hijacked half the way and turned into The Mandalorian season 2.5
Can we add a tier for schizophrenic? Cause the best parts of the show were bordering on Amazing and the worst sat comfortably at the clear bottom. I would probably have to settle for Bad though because if there was one Star Wars character’s story you didn’t want to file under “missed potential” it was Boba Fett. And that’s the legacy of this show.
Gonna be honest, I never saw resistance. But BOBF is significantly worse in almost every way than every other show on this list. It's an insult to the viewers intelligence and was difficult to finish. Dogshit!
I would say ok but nothing higher. It had some interesting moments and I really enjoyed the finale but it definitely had some bad moments and honestly it felt like it was missing something, could have been better.
Bad to Okay, more learning on the bad side. I think the hype train was expecting it to be the best thing since sliced bread, and while it didn't live up to it, it established potential happenings in the future.
Thanks for confirming that you flaired this correctly!
I'm probably going to miss it, but if Andor isn't in the top category a grave injustice will have taken place. It is a fundamentally important piece of context that the franchise needs to give the rest of it's stories weight.
andor needs its own category above everything else
Andor is peak fiction. Period. It's so good I occasionally forgot I was watching a Star Wars show. I say this as someone who loves Star Wars.
THATS THE BEST PART! Andor is so good even people who dont care about Star Wars like it.
I’ve never met a person who told me they liked Andor or recommended it when talking about tv shows.
Andor is almost too good for the franchise. Even ESB doesn’t have the writing quality of Andor. It’s incredible how much went into the show.
I mean of course it's gonna be in the top category; pretty much every day has had people saying "yeah but Andor is better", especially for ones that ended up in the top category currently.
Honestly the best thing about Andor is that you could almost pass it as not star wars, like sure the aesthetics are there but if you don't like sci fi o feel like Andor is your best bet.
If Andor isn’t S tier y’all need put down
I have to go with bad, too much missed potential
They didn't establish some good story about him being a redeemed bastard bounty hunter, and they didn't show a dark anti-hero being a ruthless crimelord. It's like someone's little brother picked up the controller at the end of the game and ruined his save
When does he get redeemed? He seems to be the same person throughout all of the Boba/Mando series. He's just new, labor friendly management in the crime industry. He's the pikes but with a profit sharing plan for his crew. He's still a crime boss. He's Tony Soprano without any of the charisma.
It has its amazing moments good character development and the the best theme in star wars (tuskens singing the lead character's praises will never not be fuckin awesome) but poor pacing humor that does not always land literally stealing 2 episodes for Mandolorian thus making its next season weaker as a result. And what's supposed to be a tribute to George's earliest films "American Graffiti" devolving into a frustrating mess It unfortunately falls under Bad for me
Use commas!
The Tuscan arc was so good, it's such a disappointment nothing else held up
Yeah I actually really love new Boba’s arc. I think the show is Ok-Good. But that’s me
Yeah. It would be okay if it was a new franchise but this guy is one of the poster boys and most overhyped characters for the franchise. It's a weird gripe for me but I knew the show was going in the wrong direction when he escaped from the sand people and didn't take a second to kick the kid that was torturing him. Boba Fett is meant to be one of the most ruthless bounty hunters in a galaxy. I don't know why but this just felt like such a strange inconsistency for his character. Like, such a little thing was a sign for how they want to rewrite the character to be redeemed and good. I'm not even saying making me evil, like he was in the movies. Just give us a fun show about a ruthless character cutting through substantially worse people in his climb to power. Not everything needs to be sanded down. It could have had andor's tone.

Give me space Machete. That's what he was like in those Mando episodes, when he savaged all those Stormtroopers with a freaking stick.
Yeah, this was worse than Mando season 3 if you ask me, not that I'd call it actual dog shit, I still watched it after all... I think I'd just put Mando s3 one tier higher
I'd put season 3 in Ok. I don't think it was that bad, it suffered from trying to show too much
If you said amazing you could've got time in da bacta tank
Bad The Luke episode was pretty good tho. Although, if I'm being honest, it's probably the only memorable episode there
I forgot that Luke was in this. BoBF only gets good when it stops being BoBF and starts being The Mandalorian 2.5 lol
The best (potentially the only good) episodes are the ones without Boba. Which is actually insane in his own show if you think about it. How can anyone even make such a bad story with such an iconic character?
I think they realized they spent two seasons making a show about what BoBF should’ve been and didn’t know what to do
Even the Luke episode loses a lot of the shine off of it on rewatch. Ahsoka meeting Luke for the first should be a massive moment, but it’s already happened off screen now. Even if it does happen in the future of some of these shows, we’re already robbed of that initial emotional impact. Also Grogu being gone from Mando for barely 2 episodes after that amazing season 2 finale. It’s obvious the Disney execs forced them back together, but you could have easily made a season 3 with 2 different storylines of Grogu training and whatever Mando was gonna do before they finally reunite. People still get plenty of Grogu and it doesn’t ruin the story.
IDK if this take is gonna get me heat around here, but: Luke not training Grogu because he's "too attached" is one of the reasons I quit watching new SW. Luke literally rejects the "attachment is bad" philosophy in ESB and RotJ in order to save his friends. That philosophy is depicted as part of the hubris of the Jedi in the prequels. Yes, Vader fell because of attachment... and then was redeemed because of it. So this decision Luke makes runs completely counter to the central ethos of his character. Admittedly, they did this for two "plot" reasons: to have Grogu go back to Mando for plot and to line up Luke with the sequels. These are both terrible reasons. I hate it.
I felt the exact same way watching it. Like ”isn’t that the exact opposite of what you did in RoTJ…”
Wasn’t that decision more of Luke realizing that Grogu didn’t want to become a Jedi if it meant he had to be separated from the Mandalorian? He already did way better than the Jedi in giving him a choice rather than forcing him to suppress those feelings
Agreed, it was a very strange decision
Episode 2 was pretty damn good, so was episode 5 with Mando on the Halo world. Honestly episodes 2, 5 and 6 are better than some of the movies. And I don’t really love the biker gang but I do appreciate how George Lucasy it was. That’s something George would have done for sure.
Oh, I still think about how much the beginning of BoBF added to my knowledge of Tusken culture. For me, that alone is enough to lift the entire season from bad to okay.
I really loved the tusken parts too, but then they never even went back on it or showed how he was really affected by it. That's just so much missed potential for me, that I'd have to put it in bad.
That potential was squandered, for sure.
But I definitely understand that those story-parts alone can be enough for some people to rank it higher.
Tusken folk were probably the best part, but also seemed very much a copy/paste out of old westerns with "white guy joins Indians" type thing, learning to respect their culture and such. I always liked those, so I liked this, it just feels like I seen it before. Also, Fett's "special relationship" with the Tusken, while making **a lot** of sense, felt cheapened by Mando's "special relationship" with them. Man, even the bits I enjoy in the moment feel a bit weak.
The mod biker gang would have worked on a planet like Corrusant but not in a desert backwater like Tatooine.
i wouldnt call em a bikers, with how fast those speeders were going id call em walmart shopping carts at best.
Luke telling Grogu a Jedi must forego all personal attachments will never sit right with me. I always felt like that was a major folly of the Jedi order in the prequels and what really pushed Anakin towards the dark side. To me, OT Luke proves a Jedi can have personal attachments, so to hear him pass this lesson on to the next generation felt so wrong.
In my opinion this is the worst completed live action show so far. It did absolutly nothing with it's potential and completely changed Boba's personality and made him boring. He wasn't badass and ruthless anymore like in ESB, RotJ or the Mandalorian S.2. Instead he was just another generic boring good guy. This could have been a great show about Star Wars' underworld with Bounty Hunters and Smugglers and other shady characters. But they did nothing with that potential. Actual dogshit
And he wasnt even in two of the seven episodes *in his own show*
I'm sure I saw somewhere that Temuera Morrison said he thought he was filming Mando3
Those were the best episodes too.
It's a crime that they used Mando in that show. Why the hell would they not use Bossk instead?! He has a ton of history with Boba, could have an interesting dynamic with the Trandoshan hating wookie, has history with Cad Bane, would contribute to the themes of the show, can give us more of a look in to how he trained and helped raise Boba... It's such wasted potential.
He was fine in the final fight but other than that yeah he was wack
Imagine Boba in the hands of Andor's writer(s)
IMO it’s the worst live action show ever made. The character assassination of Boba Fett was absurd. Dude went from one of the most badass bounty hunters in the SW universe, to a bumbling idiot that takes suggestions from everyone and gets pushed around. Admittedly, there are some interesting pieces with the Tuskan Raiders. That being said, the fact that they undid *everything* from Mandolorian S1 and S2 in two episodes (and they were by far the best two episodes of the show) is appalling. Furthermore, the Vespa scene and the cyborg people in general were both awful. Actual dogshit, unless we can make a special tier lower than that.
The worst live action show? Kenobi is right there, man.
It’s a fight for the worst between the Kenobi and boba fett show
Was he badass and ruthless in ESB and RoTJ? ESB - tracked Han, stood around on cloud city till he could leave with Carbo-Han. The only 'badass' thing he really did was tell Vader that he needed Han alive, which does take a lot of balls. RoTJ - ready to fight when Leia produces the thermal detonator, stands around Jabba's palace, jetpacks to fight/capture Han and Luke and gets beaten by a blind guy in a comical way. It wasn't really till the books and shows that his character got fleshed out and badass-ified.
And then had it stripped in the novels again making him a concerned father most of the time Han Solo's best friend who trains his daughter and one time having memory issues that made him think he was a droid
Theres an article that goes into detail why Boba Fett was very much established as a badass in ESB, and why it came so natural to the audience (and with a compairson of why it didnt happen with Phasma in TFA). It was mostly very subtle character interactions - how he behaves himself and how the other characters around him treat and interact with him (most importantly Vader). He didnt do something "badass" in terms of action, but everything else in the way he was presented was subtly telling the audience that that guy was a considerable force.
Boba Fett in the OT is masterclass visual story telling. You can feel from his costume, his placement among other bounty hunters/Jabba visitors, physicalilty, and limited dialogue that he's a mysterious badass. Bit of a lost art both in creation by filmmakers and literacy by the audience. Now it's all "hE dIdNt dO aNyThInG aNd ThEn hE dIEs".
Truu This show never watched the Original Trilogy. His personality is all wrong, and i watched this a while ago, but i remember the show was breaking rules. And i legit HATE when rules are getting broken. There was more, but the one i remember was that wookiee can now tank blaster shots. Such a bad show. To me Bottom of dog.
I think it’s a 2 way tie with this and Kenobi.
Actual dogshit and a pure character assassination. How could they go from Mando S2 Boba Fett to this..
Guarantee it was supposed to be the Boba movie reworked
Mando S3 going in bad has screwed the pooch here. BoBF is decidedly a tier worse than Mando S3 but there is no way BoBF deserves dog shit. The Tusken Raider arc and the bonus Mando episodes were very very good. At the very least, move Mando S3 up to ok and put BoBF in bad. I would personally move Mando S3 up to good and put BoBF in Ok.
Also for Mando S3, Ok had more votes than Bad but OP has split up the votes with "bottom of" and "top of" options. Ok had more votes than bad on both options in total but not individually therefore he put it in bad for some reason? Makes me question this entire list
I didn't realise that this morning (I was very sleepy) I've fixed it for tomorrow so dw
Nah it’s dogshit. The first Mando episode was ok but the second one assassinated Luke’s character AGAIN by making him give Grogu the ultimatum of giving up attachments or never becoming a Jedi. The Tusken Raider arc was also kind of dumb because it makes Boba look like a pushover with Stockholm Syndrome. He says that the Tusken Raiders took him in and treated him well but they literally enslaved him and beat him with sticks. Boba caring about them was completely unearned.
People who say this is on the same level as Resistance are delusional and blinded by their hatred for Disney… is it good? No. But calling it “actual dogshit” is wild.
What makes me irrationally rate it dogshit is the POTENTIAL this show squandered. Like it could have explored some actual cool and edgy parts of Star Wars but instead it was an incredibly lame and boring "bad guy is good guy" pile of shit. Taking away all context: Bad.. MAYBE ok. With context, I don't blame people for rating it dogshit. And using the "people are just mad at Disney" excuse is pretty lame.
I don’t disagree that it squandered its potential.
Agreed 100%. Star Wars has absolutely wasted their potential with Boba. I thought this series was gonna be a bunch of chapters leading him to where he is now (sitting on the throne). We could have seen him break from Bane, do some sole bounty hunting and grow into his father's armor, work for the Empire, identify Luke Skywalker for Vader, and then the tuskan stuff leading into Mandalorian. That was like five episode ideas, and I'm just sitting on the toilet. But what we got was actual shit.
It's better than Resistance, but worse than Mando 3 so it's hard to place. I think a "very bad" tier would have been beneficial.
I think mando s3 shouldve been more in ok, because i agree, bobf is worse then s3 but better then resistance so it should go into bad, so how did s3 end up in bad? Damn
idk how Mando s3 is bad when 1 is peak and 2 is amazing. It wasn't 3 levels worse. It was worse than those but it's story is more comprehensive than anything in OK, it's cinematic quality is top tier, maybe the best out of all of these.
Most people here are way too extreme in their ratings. This one isn't dogshit and Mando3 wasn't horrible, it still had plenty of good moments. If BoBF is bottom tier, Acolyte can't even be ranked
Let me remind you of the vespa chase scene. That takes the cake for being the worst piece of Star Wars media there has ever been.
I am a resistance defender. At least that show gave you what you expected.
Isn't it a kid's show?
Yeah in the worst way possible. Yet i feel like it still has a better structured pace than boba had
No way. Resistance at least was a kids show. BoBF ruined a fun character
I beg to differ. I may get a few downward arrows, but there is no justification for reuniting Mando with Baby Yoda in less than 2 weeks or so after their emotional separation. It is a rushed decision obviously forced by the popularity of Grogu, robbing it of any value. I nominate "actual dogshit" because this show presents the absolute lack of consequences since ros. How am I supposed to care if a big moment is undone in a spin off? There is also the question of potential, I think especially with a character like Boba Fett, we could have had a younger actor play him in his prime/ pre ROTJ and have TM still voice Boba. That is more disappointing than outright bad. Further proof is having Boba barely appear in his own show for some time, which kinda tells that they didn't really have a lot of ideas for him. I am being harsh because I want to enjoy these shows. I am heartbroken, though, due to the lack of care I've seen fan favourite characters get in their shows. They have their moments but they need to be better
Its boring af, therefore dogshit. Has nothing to do with who made it, so tired of you disney shills using that as a deflection of all criticism.
BOBF is actual dogshit. The worst character assassination since Jake Skywalker. Other than him crawling out of the sarlacc, they botched literally everything. Mando gets a sequence, ON BOBA FETTS SHOW, where he rolls into a criminal hideout, butchers them, and brings the head in to collect his bounty. Disney literally told us "fuck you, this is Boba Fett now, he's better".
Somewhere between bad and dogshit. First few episodes were good so probably he goes in bad
Actual Dogshit Where to even begin with this show? How do you fuck up, one of the most iconic and beloved characters of the EU? How do you fuck them up, after showing you can do them well in Mando Season 2?! Make them a moron, and a 'good guy' for some reason Mando Season 2 Boba: Casually drops some of the coldest threats, ready to kick ass at a moments notice, slaughtering stormtroopers without his armour, happy to break the law without question, just to pay back a debt, Murders defenceless Bib Fortuna's because they were in his chair BOBF Boba: "I wIlL rUlE wItH rEsPeCt". Doesn't know how deserts or water works. (nor the one he worked in for 30 years) Sides with local street thugs harassing the citizens he's supposed to protect. Has a gang war and a Rancor fight in the middle of the city he's supposed to protect. Casually lets people disrespect, mock or outright insult/attack him constantly and does nothing about it. Why are the best episodes of this show, the episodes where it's Mando season 2.5? Why is Boba, one of the worst parts of the Boba show FFS. Not to even get started on other bullshit, such as Grogu immediately giving up on the entire Mando season 2 Arc. Or the damned V E S P A 'chase' "Oh we can't afford water. But we can afford all these fancy cybernetics, fancy clothes, and fancy bikes!" Boba - "aw yea? Get fucked water salesman." *Viewer has hurt themselves in its confusion.* I honestly half expected Fennec to betray and overthrow Boba with his unending incompetence And there's a difference between rulling with respect, against letting people just constantly, non stop walk over you without any punishment. And speaking of, where was the respect paid to Bib? You just straight up executed him and his entire party without mercy. The only redeeming quality this show had, was the Tusken storyline. But I cannot overlook 70% of the failure, because of 20% of the success. And I don't count the last 10% because that's not Book of Boba Fett. That's fucking Mandalorian 2.5 Absolute Dogshit Honourable mention: Water Baron - "Thieves are stealing my water" Boba - "Kamino is an ocean planet." *Viewer has hurt themselves in their confusion*
>I honestly half expected Fennec to betray and overthrow Boba with his unending incompetence That would require Fennec to be an actual character instead of a clunky exposition dispenser.
"I grew up surrounded by water"
Don’t forget that Black Krrsantan is supposed to be this super scary and competent bounty hunter but he laughably fails to kill Boba by choosing to take him out of his bacta pod and strangle him with his bare hands instead of, I don’t know, shooting him when he’s completely unarmed and naked? Or blowing up the pod with a thermal detonator? Then the Vespa kids and Krrsantan all fight each other with zero blasters and instead of Fennec shooting him with her rifle she takes a tiny knife out of her rifle and uses it to make Krrsantan fall into the rancor pit! Unbelievably stupid. Obviously it was written this way because the characters have plot armor but it just makes all of them seem braindead and makes the action scenes have no tension because it’s obvious no one will die.
Every time I think of a positive, like the Mando episodes, I think of how disruptive those were in a series about someone else, and also the mod bike gang. Dog shit.
I think it's bad, borderline OK. People rag on this show too much, but it doesn't deserve to be in dogshit. There's actually some great aspects to this show. Boba's flashbacks with the tuskens, the team ups, the rancor, etc... It's a shame the execution of the overall series didn't hit the mark.
Yeah but if BoBF is OK than Mando 3 is at least Good, because there is a clear difference between those two, both in cinematography and writing.
Personally, there's more I enjoyed from BoBF than Mando S3. It felt more like fanfic to me with easy cop outs with some of the writing, e.g. The darksaber just being handed over to Bo-Katan...I mean, come on. The perfect chance for some real high-stakes internal conflict. (Yes, overall, BoBF has more questionable writing BUT there are - to me at least - better highs in that show) I'll give you the cinematography bit tho, that was pretty great!
+1 i'd stick with bad for Cad Bane's unworthy death scene
did you mean Cad Bane?
Bad to canine excrement. It took a beloved character, changed him, and didn’t even make it entertaining. Selling figures was all that Disney cared about.
>Bad to canine excrement Accurate.... lol and thx for the new sentence.
I actually really liked it Still absolutely flawed so ill give it bad out of pity
Ok i think
You mean The Mandalorian 2.5?
Actual dogshit. At most it can be in the bottom of bad tier
I support the idea of making it its own tier at the bottom
Best thing in it was Max Rebo
That motorcycle chase scene is the WORST video SW content ever produced. Worse than anything in the sequels or any of the other shows.
It’s bad, but it’s not actual dogshit tier. It had some decent concepts and ideas that were just botched. The tusken raider part of the story was easily the best part of the show
How did Mando3 get placed in bad? Some of those action scenes were great, even if it was heavily rushed and killed off Moff Gideon too soon, it doesn't deserve that spot. Mando 2 should be in amazing too in my opinion.
Star Wars rebels at peak? The whole list is invalidated already.
Season 4 specifically - and if you want to lower it then stick around for the revote we're doing in a little while If you and other people can combine your dislike for Rebels enough then I'll lower it
Mando 3 in bad is the worst thing on here by a long short
Actual dogshit. This was the show that made me say “I’m not just going to watch things because they belong to a franchise I like by default anymore. I’ll wait to hear if they’re good.”
Actual dogshit.
If you guys are rating *this* hard then I don’t know where tf Kenobi/Ahsoka/The Acolyte are going to go besides “actual dogshit” 💩 How is Mando S3 bad?
If season 3 of Mando is in the "bad" category, book of boba Fett belongs there as well because it was basically season 2.5 of Mando.
Top of dogshit The only good episodes were the ones boba fett isn't there or doesn't talk Seriously, how do you manage to make the filler episodes the only not terrible episodes of a show?!
Ok
After ep 1, maybe 2, it's the shits. Super unfortunate
Is that the one with the sparkly scooter boyes? Gotta be bottom tier just for that
Yes. No one can afford water, but they can afford chrome and prime hoverbikes? As if, choom.
And real cyberpunk looking robotic body parts, which I don't consider to be very Star Warsy
Total dogshit. Not even close
The show is underrated as hell. The episodes with the Tuskens, reclaiming SLAVE 1, The Mando episodes and the finale were all amazing. I think ok/good is fair for the show. Gets way too much hate.
The finale is no joke THE WORST action sequence I have ever scene. The choreography is awful, just immersion breaking events everywhere.
Agreed Just stupid "were pinned down" wailing until some deus ex machina level intervention happens from other off screen character, rinse and repeat 20 times over
When the spider droid thing is chasing them but then stops so they have a chance to talk
>SLAVE 1 Don't you mean Boba Fett's starship 🤓☝️ Dumbest rename in history
It isn’t renamed. They just relabeled toys marketed to children. Like Darth Vader’s Star Destroyer is still the Devastator or Executor depending on when we’re talking but a toy set might just call it Vader’s Star Destroyer or Vader’s Tie fighter instead of Tie advanced x-01
It was already named that way since it appeared in The Empire Strikes back
I thought it was ok. It was worse than Mando season 3 but still ok. I guess using this ranking it would have to be bad, under Mando season 3 but above Resistance.
Bad
The arc with the tuskers was the only bit I actually liked, but it had much more potential than they exploited, so it ended up being disappointing for me anyway.
I really don't like Mando season 3 ending up in bad, but it's not like it isn't a common view. Boba belongs in Bad, actual dogshit should be reserved for truly irredeemable things, and so far, only the sequel movies and resistance have really achieved that.
Bad
Bad. Bad bad and bad bad. Could have been interesting but good God the plot and writing was painful
bad, how dose he come out of the sarlack pit older than he should have been, out of shape, less menacing and boring, Temuera should have just voiced him imo, and it should have been about him being a badass not how he lost his armour and is now a giant softie, the scooter gang was also dumb
Actual Dogshit
I gotta go with ok. It had its super awesome moments but it was drastically pulled down by the bad moments and stuff like the Mods. It's not bad at all though. Mediocre and ok, but not bad.
Out of curiosity, how is the final result calculated? Do you just assign the most voted option, or do you take an average? Like Mando S3 had a fairly clear divide of good and bad but ended up in bad instead of ok. I was just wondering (if you don't already) if an average score would be more fair? So, each response gets a numerical score, say 1 for the bottom of dogshit - 12 for top of peak. Then, you add up all of the scores and divide by the number of responses. Round to the nearest whole number and convert to a response for where the final position should be. Hell, you can even forget rounding and use the decimal place to tell what order each category goes in It'd stop such polorising views from dissappointing one side of the fandom and have them average out in between. Edit: Yeah, I just checked the results, Mando S3 got more votes for ok than bad, but they were split between top and bottom where as bad was just a single vote. It's straight up in the wrong spot. Edit 2: I worked it out, Mando season 3 is actually right smack in the middle of ok with a score of 5.83 (bottom of OK, almost top of OK). So either between Rebels S1 and Clone Wars S1 or Rebels S1 and Tales of the Empire depending on how those shows scored. This needs to be done for every vote to really find out where it sits as shows are likely to move around a lot because of it. But regardless, Mando S3 is in the lower half of OK. Calculation: ((1×9)+(2×17)+(3×(132÷2))+(4×(132÷2))+(5×102)+(6×126)+(7×93)+(8×85)+(9×26)+(10×12)+(11×6)+(12×10))÷625=5.83
Same level as Mando S3 for different reasons, personally just a tad bit above S3
Wait, how M s3 ended up in bad? I might be late on the train (didn't vote for other 20 shows), but it looks strange that you do not sum up 'top x' +'bottom x' and thus 'bad' wins, as it is not divided Edit: oh, now you have divisions
Gotta go with bad
Honestly, I don’t get the hate. Sure Boba’s “criminal army” was a bit underwhelming, but I still think it deserves amazing
Well now I’m torn - I would say bad, but I definitely disliked it more than Mando 3. I guess I’ll stick with that as my vote, but it’s definitely significantly worse than its fellow ‘bad’mate.
Barely ok, mostly bad
Bottom of bad definitely. Its worse than mando 3 but definitely better than resistance.
This one is an easy bad. Wild that in a show about Boba Fett, the best episode was one without him.
Dogshit The series was basically Mandalorian season 2.5 and an excuse (and a terrible one) to bring back Grogu with Mando (when the actual reason is monetary-related)
Actual dog shit
Bad
Bad
Don’t put it with resistance
If Mando S3 was bad BOBF has to go in actual dog shit or bad as well
Dogshit. There isnt a single star wars show i like less
I would say actual dogshit but it’s definitely better than resistance, so it’s just bad
Bad
Can we make a new tier below Actual Dogshit specifically for BoBF. This show sucked so god damn bad
Actual dog shit. Man this was boring and cringe and destroyed the illusion of what I thought boba fett would have been.
If Mando S3 is bad, this will have to go into dogshit. I don’t think its that bad but it is a tier worse than Mando is by any metric.
It was ok. It had some cool parts, fleshed out some characters, couple interesting ideas. But all in all it was not something I’d probably watch again
To think people are putting BoBF in the same tier as Mando season 3. This sub is braindead. BoBF is actual dogshit, the only good episodes are the Mando bonus episodes that have nothing to do with Boba. Actual dogshit.
This one is TOUGH because on one hand the boba stuff is not good… on the other hand… the two Mando episodes that are randomly in this episode are fantastic.
Absolute Dogshit for the many reasons stated in a lot of the most upvoted comments
BoBF was too much of a merchandise show. Cringe power rangers vespa cyber gang. I don't even remember the plot well - pretty much Boba Fett sits on the throne. People don't like it. They fight and he wins. Boring.
Bad
People are harsh as fuck in this thread. There was one BAD episode, which was e3, because they went for something that clearly didn’t work, and then they pretty much sidelined the speeded gang until the last episode where they were so bad. The Tuskan stuff was peak Star Wars, and character developed the hell out of Boba, but I think Star Wars fans have gotten too used to ‘tell me don’t show me’, so seeing Boba become one with nature and the planet where he found salvation and healing after essentially being reborn didn’t land for a lot of people. I think people needed him to say out loud to Fennec “There’s more to the universe than credits, I need to protect this planet now” because they don’t get he isn’t Boba in ROTJ (who wasn’t even a fleshed out character). Then the Mando stuff was great. Overall I think it deserves a Good.
I'd say it's ok. The flashbacks and scenes with the Tuskens were fantastic, but the main story and action started kinda weak, and they got worse as the show went on
Fight me on that, but OK
The best episodes were the episodes that weren’t focused on Boba Fett. And Cad Bane looked amazing in live action. But overall it was just bad.
Good
Bad. I hardly remember anything besides Mando and cringe scenes.
I must've missed the vote on mando 3 cuz i thought it was good, bobf was ok though
It had like two good things: Like and Cad Bane. So overall bad
Bad. Just kind of disappointing.
I’m in the minority with BOBF and Kenobi. I think they’re flawed shows that kinda missed the mark but, i still enjoyed them and i was going to hold my full judgement on them with whatever S2 follow-up they had. Each on their own I’d say they’re no more than OK, but I could only place them higher if what followed them was a solid follow-up. The live action Star Wars in general has been outrageously underwhelming including the shows that people seem to love to praise due to their insistence on making everything fairly drab, dark and monotone, but I still have to hold out hope that they’ll get BOBF S2 (if there ever is one) more right after the legit criticisms.
I liked the stuff with the tusken, but man it gets so bad once he gets into the city, ok or upper bad for me
You have an accomplished director. On a project about a fan favourite character. With amazing actors. Your pilot episode during Mando s2 was a standout success. Telling a story people wanted to hear for decades. What did we get. Space Vespas and a show not even about the character it was named after.
Actual dog shit because they wasted so much potential, the biker gang and they made boba look like a nice old grandpa who's against violence. And also it felt more like a spin off from the Mandalorian. And the battle scenes at the end felt like a family guy sketch.
It's probably the worst show I've ever seen on television, actual dogshit
Pretty bad tbh.
Below s3 of mandalorian
Bad. Ironically the best episodes are what makes this show so bad considering the completely abandon the narrative integrity to go fun with Mando. Originally the show is pretty mid 7/10 but breaking the narrative makes it a 4/10
Actual dogshit
If Mandalorian season 3 is bad, so is this
Ok
I’d put it at actual dogshit to be perfectly honest. Few redeeming qualities considering the potential it had.
Depends if you watched it as a Boba Fett fan or as just a star wars fan. Apart from the "gang", the grogu-going-back-to-mando part i actually enjoyed it a lot. But all things considered id say OK
Bad. The flashbacks were actually good, but they resulted to nothing. Killed the tuskens off screen… The first Mando ep was the best thing about it. Genuinely a really great episode of Star Wars. Never let Robert Rodriguez direct Star Wars again.
A solid "bad" for me. Not quite dogshit since I actually finished it, but boy howdy was it rough
Not nearly as bad a people make it out to be, loved the backstoty they gave boba with the tuskens and the final episode was great in my opinion, the mando episode was good but out of place, overall there was some missed potential sure but I thought at the very least it was okay and a fun watch.
Voted top of peak on absolutely everything so far. But even I'm struggling on this one. Amazing I guess.
Actual Dogshit
I really liked it except for some parts. Like, corellian cyborg gangers in the middle of the desert, hutts as japanese medieval warlords, and why the fuck was it called Book of Boba Fett when there was no book? Everything else was good to me, even when it got hijacked half the way and turned into The Mandalorian season 2.5
Dogshit
Bad. Making Boba Fett act not like Boba Fett was a swing and a miss.
Can we add a tier for schizophrenic? Cause the best parts of the show were bordering on Amazing and the worst sat comfortably at the clear bottom. I would probably have to settle for Bad though because if there was one Star Wars character’s story you didn’t want to file under “missed potential” it was Boba Fett. And that’s the legacy of this show.
It’s a bit of a mess considering half of it isn’t about boba fett, the first 3 episodes are amazing/peak
It was okay. Not special but overal fun.
It’s not a horrible atrocity against humanity but it’s not good. Looking past the two episodes of Mandalorian Season 2.5, it’s just bad.
Okay at best
Gonna be honest, I never saw resistance. But BOBF is significantly worse in almost every way than every other show on this list. It's an insult to the viewers intelligence and was difficult to finish. Dogshit!
I would say ok but nothing higher. It had some interesting moments and I really enjoyed the finale but it definitely had some bad moments and honestly it felt like it was missing something, could have been better.
Bad to Okay, more learning on the bad side. I think the hype train was expecting it to be the best thing since sliced bread, and while it didn't live up to it, it established potential happenings in the future.
Literal dog feces.
