Bobba Fett escapes from the Sarlaac pit in the opening of this new series. How very slimy it is, inside a Sarlaac.
His luck isn’t good, though, as he’s stripped of everything by Jawas and then, half dead, you’d think, he’s captured and treated horribly by Sandmen.
He dreams of this past while trying to set himself up as the ruler in Mos Espa. Expecting tributes in his new position, he gets a mixed response from locals.
He wants to rule fairly, the locals want more of a Jabba the Hutt Crime lord. It’s a good thing he has Fennec Shand by his side. He also gains the employ of two Gamorrean Guards, one of my favorite Star Wars species.
The fight scenes where Fett doesn’t have his Mandolorian armor prove him to be a real survivor and formidable foe.
With his Mandalorean armor, and with Shand by his side, he didn’t seem to fare as well when attacked in the street. I really wanted him to take out the bad guys, because that’s what we saw in the Mandolorian when he fought.
A big win in front of all and sundry would have also given him some of the respect he’s trying to win. Why not let him have that?
There are only seven episodes in the series, airing on Fridays.
