Boba Fett Chapter 2 Finally Does the Bounty Hunter Justice

Published

on

The first episode of Boba Fett, while good, moved at a rather slow pace and seemed more like a filler episode. That’s generally not good when you’re talking about a show that fans have been asking about for decades. Thankfully episode two rights that wrong and provides a much better groundwork for not just the show but Fett himself.

Episode two shows us a Fett that’s trying to be good in a world that really wants him to go bad. He’s always been viewed as an anti-hero but this week’s episode showed that he has so much heart and humility that’s never really been shown before.

That’s not to say that he’ll ever be soft and cuddly, but he knows how to fight for the underdog. The first half of this episode has Fett confronting two of Jabba’s cousins in an effort to prove that he now runs the town. For the most part, it works and does a bit of world-building in the process. The show also introduces us to Black Krrsantan who is a part of the amazing Doctor Aphra comic book. Seriously if you haven’t read that series I highly recommend it. Let’s hope we get some Doctor Aphra down the road as well.

The episode really shines in its second half. Picking up where we left off Boba Fett is still imprisoned by the Tusken Raiders but he has found a way to gain their trust. He is studying under one of their warriors and learning their ways. Shortly into that period, a high-speed train comes and literally hunts them down. Regardless of his social standing that action strikes a nerve and Fett goes off to avenge his fallen comrades.

Without spoiling too much he not only gains their trust but manages to change their entire culture in the process. He introduces them to new technology and sets them up as a powerful tribe on Tatooine. It’s with that knowledge that one must come to the conclusion that Boba Fett manages to do more for the people of Tatooine than Luke Skywalker ever did. He sees the raiders as not savages but the indigenous people of the planet. The Dances with Wolves vibe was strong in the episode.

It will be interesting to see where the rest of the series goes. Honestly, it could have spent the entire first season leading up to Fett taking the throne and that would have been enthralling. Now they just need to make the present more interesting than the past.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
