I just had a thought regarding the big reveal of episode 6.  This will tap into the first season of The Bad Batch as well, so consider yourself warned:

I thought it was a great episode and the best one with Boba in it.  (Oh dear, is that a spoiler?) 😉

Leaving first reply open: I dislike flashbacks because they disrupt the flow of a story, and at worst they fall prey to lazy writing - whenever you want to fill in someone's backstory, just warp back in time. BOBF was skating close to that sometimes, though it was mostly interesting stuff: as a show where Bob is reflecting on his life and slightly softening outlook on the worlds, it also kinda sorta makes sense. Just a lot of it. The worst recent offender being Witcher S1, which they had the good sense to nod at in S2 and promise to never do again.

 

On with the wild speculation and whinging...

Thanks for the clarification on the topic of flashbacks.  While they are fine to me, it is good to know the other perspective.

Resurrecting this thread to ask a simple question:  Has anyone got solid confirmation that The Book of Boba Fett season 2 is moving forward?  I've only found a smattering of rumors that the show possibly started work on season 2 quietly and mostly seeing comments suggesting they've not even started.  None that I've read suggest that it's been cancelled, but it's sibling Star Wars productions tend to move forward by 6 months of the season ending, if not sooner.

 

Yes, season 1 had some tremendous flaws, and people seem to remember them first, but it also had some great material as well.  I see it as fixable in a season 2.  If the delay is due to putting more effort into the script, I'm all for it (though I hate that the writers' strike will push it back even more).   I think I'm most concerned that the financial shakeup at Disney might mean the axe for this.  If they're headed that way, I'd prefer at least a season 2 to repair the damage.

Mostly rumours at this point, but there is not a new BoBF on the production slate for 2023.

  • Disney is moving $ away from new D+ content for a while as Bob Iger reconstructs the business - and rather than trying for a pure-volume, all-things-to-all fans play, shrink down the number of productions and shows on offer to a dedicated fanbase. That kind of approach hasn't hurt Paramount too badly.
  • Kathleen announced three new proper movies at Celebration. Two I'm not sure about - one from oh-look-its-a-celebrated-indie-director-being-thrown-at-a-franchise Sharmeen Oba id-Chinoy that should close out Rey's story, Dial Of Destiny's James Mangold going back to the Old Republic - or possibly beyond, at the very dawn of the Jedi era...
  • ...and the Dave Filoni movie, which should tie up all the threads and characters from his New Republic adventure - including Boba, Mando, possibly Ahsoka and the Rebels crew, and a few more.
     

Side note: still gutted that Rogue Squadron isn't happening. Top Gun In Spaaaaace... c'mon, Bob, doesn't that sound like something you wanna make?

"Dial of Destiny's James Mangold" is like when South Park only referred to Spielberg as the director of 1941 and Always, lol. Poor Jimmy.

Heh. Unfortunately it is true, to an extent: even Spielberg considered retiring after two box office duds in a row (West Side Story and The Fabelmans), because suddenly doors started closing to the Great Bearded One.

 

There are notable exceptions. Producers still have faith that M. Night Shyalaman will, someday, make another great movie.

(And, let's be fair, Knock At The Cabin had touches of greatness, particularly Big Dave, but just couldn't stick the landing.)

But will the resolution involve WATER and will there be a twist ending?

Shyalaman's an easy but inconvenient example; that dude has been pretty famously self-financing his movies for a while now. 

 

I'm not sure that Spielberg (or Scorcese for that matter; The Irishman was a tough watch) losing his fastball means he'll stop finding willing partners, but I'd imagine any difficulties they might run into are because studios are increasingly narrowing down to pre-existing IP tentpoles. Not that Spielberg hasn't gone down that route himself (to kinda janky results).
