I’m gonna say it:<\/p>\n

After one episode, The Mandalorian<\/em> is my favorite Star Wars<\/em> since the original film.<\/p>\n

It’s everything I’ve wanted from Star Wars<\/em> since I was 10 and 11: it’s a Star Wars<\/em> TV series AND it’s got a guy who looks like the guy that I liked from the cartoon in The Star Wars Holiday Special<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Seriously, I’ve wanted a TV version of Star Wars<\/em> since I saw the original movie.\u00a0 I even imagined episode descriptions as listed in TV Guide, like “Artoo gets captured by the Jawas again.”<\/p>\n

And Boba Fett has been my second favorite character since I first saw him in that animated short in 1978.<\/p>\n

I’ve gotten lots of shit from people over the years because Fett was a ‘do nothing’ character, much like Captain Phasma in the newer films.\u00a0 But like Phasma, Boba Fett was a much better character in other media, like comics and novels, and my own imagination.<\/p>\n

My gaming group actually met Boba Fett during one scenario, where my bounty hunter character called in a favor from him.<\/p>\n

It was the look, and the mystery of Fett and his Mandalorian armor, that made him one of my favorites.<\/p>\n

And even back then, and through the years, I never let other people’s opinion’s about him change my fandom.<\/p>\n

If there’s one thing I actually hate about the prequels, it’s the way they changed the back story of Boba Fett, making him the son a guy who was the original clone of the Clone Wars.\u00a0 No more Jaster Mereel, no more Mandalorian background except for the armor.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to now, where this new Mandalorian character is everything Boba Fett SHOULD had been, but wasn’t, but it doesn’t matter now because he’s just as much of a badass as I imagined Fett to be in the first place.<\/p>\n

Thanks again to Jon Favreau, for breathing life into the side of the Star Wars universe that always appealed to me: bounty hunters and the scum and villainy of the underworld in a galaxy far, far away.<\/p>\n
