First let's address the elephant in the room. Beloved franchises are often harshly judged by their fans when they stray from the "norm" of what some so called super fans may expect. Star Wars, Star Trek, Cowboy Bebop, Aliens, and now Halo just to name a few.
As someone born in the early 70s I'll be the first to tell you that I am grateful to live in a golden age of sci-fi both on television and in the theaters.
Now on to Halo. Only one episode in and this show is off to a solid start. I get a few of the complaints with a moment or two of wonky CGI, a bit of stiff acting and a couple of sci-fi cliches here and there but otherwise this pilot was pretty kick-ass. An excellent mix of action, intrigue, drama, mystery, humanity, some gore, borderline evil authority figures and definitely evil bad guys checked all the boxes and set the table for a fun filled ride through a new yet familiar Universe.
As a casual Halo fan who has played all the games but never read the books, I had little to no problem with any of the plot choices or character direction. There maybe nothing new under the sun but that doesn't mean there's nothing fun. I for one am looking forward to a wild ride another with a new hi budget sci-fi franchise to fill in my TV time. Do yourself a favor and at least check it out with an open mind. It may not be a 10 quite yet but it's a far cry from the 1's the trolls continue to award.

I'll start off here with the obvious elephant in the room. There are basically two types of Star Wars fans. Those who love the romantic hero driven universe of light sabers, the force, the rebellion, the empire and good vs evil and those who love the Star Wars universe itself along with all the other stories it has to offer.
The Book of Boba Fett pays homage to the latter. It gives us a deep dive into legendary characters and tribes along with fleshing out the planet that the Star Wars stories originally began upon. 2 episodes in and I've learned more Star Wars history than I have since I sat in the theatre as a mesmerized 5 year old boy seeing George Lucas' epic space western for the first time.
Don't get it twisted. This isn't an action packed, force powered thrill ride. This is a long overdue drama set in the vast universe full of lore that fills in many blanks. Some of which we never realized were even mysteries. Fett may be physical shell of the bounty hunter he once was in his formative years but it's obvious he's learned from his near death experiences and gained wisdom and patience through his many trials since his ignominious pseudo death in ROTJ. Don't confuse his new found persona with weakness though. This iteration of our favorite bounty hunter still has sharp teeth but now has the experience to know better when to use them.
The backstory, easter eggs and nods to Original Trilogy canon is nirvana to us geeks who read the novels and dominated all of our friends and family in SW Trivial Pursuit during the long dearth of SW movie and TV content. From Hutt cousins laying claim to Jabba's crime empire, Trandoshans drinking tea at an outdoor cafe, an Ithorian (hammerhead) as mayor of Mos Espa, a gang of Weequay raiders and Max Rebo getting a new club gig all the way to a Wookie assassin working for the aforementioned Hutts. This show delivers the Star Wars goods in spades. No force or lightsabers? Who cares?!
I feel truly bad for those who can't appreciate such an in depth homage to a beautifully crafted universe with endless storytelling possibilities because it doesn't fit their personal Star Wars narrative. Iconic settings, legendary characters, in depth creature cameos. If you hate this show you just truly don't understand Star Wars.

First of all let me start by saying I love this show, it is everything I had hoped for in a Star Wars TV series and more. Just one issue though. The Mandalorian has been in at least three different cantinas so far and there hasn't been a single lick of music playing in any of them! Where are my Cantina bands? Where is Sy Snootles?! If you're listening Favteau I demand Cantina music!
