Chapter 5 is one of the most peculiar installments of any series I've ever seen because oddly, it totally seems to forget what show it's a part of...
Hence, instead of focusing on advancing the plot in "The Book of Boba Fett", audiences are instead treated to an unexpected, first episode of "The Mandalorian" S3 (randomly shoehorned in to the middle of a spin-off's debut season) - which has hardly (if any) relevance to the established narrative from the previous 4 weeks?
There's no doubting it's a strong outing... But not of THIS programme. Therefore, it feels so out of place, I can't deny I found the entire viewing experience rather jarring?
Once again, I simply have to conclude that the creators have such little faith in the title protagonist's ability to succeed in his own franchise, they constantly have to rely on others in order to sustain it; before, the tactic writers used was relentless nostalgia bait (needless flashbacks, featuring events depicted in beloved "Star Wars" films for the sake of winning over die hard supporters), then it inexplicably featured an ensemble of "cool", "edgy", "rebellious" young / teenage characters (blatantly included to appeal to / resonate with a younger demographic) & now it's dragging back Pedro Pascal?
Can't Temuera Morrison ever be allowed to thrive by himself - without constantly being overshadowed? This is meant to be his story?
