You Can Never Be Too Careful

Marlene never took her eyes off it when she was in the same room and always walked past the Rheem with a smile on her face and spoke to it in soft tones because the salesman warned that they sometimes got quirky and would reach out and attack if they felt the least bit threatened.

I Am Enjoying This Way More Than I Ever Thought I Would

I really enjoyed The Mandalorian and I'm eagerly awaiting Season 2. In the meantime, Disney has given us The Book of Boba Fett.

When I initially heard they were going to be doing spin-off stories of several of the characters in the STAR WARS universe (remembering Solo: A Star Wars Story and rolling my eyes so hard I thought they were going to get stuck), I was to say the least, skeptical. Boba Fett was never one of my favorite characters, and certainly one whose backstory couldn't have been of less interest.

Yet here I am, singing its praises.

Just like The Mandalorian, the same production crew and show runners are responsible for The Book of Boba Fett. Their love for the original trilogy is obvious in the way everything is being approached in these two stories. I call it "old school" STAR WARS: practical effects, measured use of CGI when necessary, and actual character development that makes you care about the people on that screen. Add in the deference they have to the original mythologies, and what's not to love?

Highly recommended and worth the price of Disney's subscription.
