For many years, fans have been wanting to have frequent content from the ‘Star Wars’ franchise, but it’s not easy to make a movie like ‘Star Wars’ every year. Thankfully, Disney announced their streaming platform, Disney+, and promised new ‘Star Wars’ content. It all started with the show ‘The Mandalorian’ and now, we finally have a series that we always wanted to see ‘The Book of Boba Fett’.

The first episode of the highly-anticipated series has just dropped and it is everything that you could have hoped for. The premiere doesn’t reveal much and gives an idea of how Boba Fett became a legend. The show starts with the visuals of Fett (Temuera Morrison) trapped inside a body of a monster, along with a Stormtrooper. He manages to get out, but his condition doesn’t allow him to travel much far. The Tusken Raiders find him and take him to their camp. But one fine day, he manages to kill a huge monster and save one of their younglings.

This is how Boba Fett managed to win over them. However, this is not the only thing that we witnessed during the episode. We return to the present scenario and get to know that Boba Fett is now the ruler of Tattooine. But someone wants him dead. Who could it be? Can it be the supporters of the previous ruler? Or someone else? We might get an answer to that question in the upcoming episodes.

As far as the episode is concerned, it is a near-perfect start to the series and gives us an idea why Boba Fett is considered to be one of the strongest men in the ‘Star Wars’ universe. Those, who already know about the character, would find it amazing to see it finally coming together on their screens. Meanwhile, everyone who is new to this universe will find his journey exciting.

Now, it’s impossible to judge a series from the premiere episode, but you can surely get an idea of the project is in safe hands or not, and it’s a no-brainer that Disney has once again knocked it out of the park with ‘The Book of Boba Fett’. The fighting scene is brilliantly choreographed and as the series progresses, these action sequences will get more and more intense.

Most importantly, there are already some characters who don’t like Boba Fett as the new crime lord. Like, the mayor of Tattooine doesn’t want Fett to be sitting on the throne and doesn’t even come to give a tribute to him. So, it seems, he already has an enemy there. It’ll be interesting to see how he solves this problem.

‘The Book of Boba Fett’ has all the potential of being one of the best ‘Star Wars’ series and if it manages to keep everyone glued to their screens.

‘The Book of Boba Fett’ returns to Disney+ every Wednesday with a new episode.
