'The Book of Boba Fett' Actually Makes 'Return of the Jedi' Worse

While you’re bound to see Boba Fett costumes at nearly every Star Wars convention that you attend, the supposedly fearsome bounty hunter that has become so iconic was cool for a very small amount of time before he was turned into a complete joke. After his cold, collected behavior in The Empire Strikes Back, Fett is easily dispatched within Return of the Jedi before being given a tragic backstory in the prequels. While it seemed like Robert Rodriguez might actually deliver the Fett we’d all been dreaming to see with his The Mandalorian spinoff series The Book of Boba Fett, the limited miniseries seemingly doubled down on the disappointment. Not only does Fett’s characterization feel odd compared to everything that had been established about him thus far, but The Book of Boba Fett’s narrative decisions actively make Return of the Jedi worse.
