Book of Boba Fett Episode 6 Review

Published

on

At this point, it almost feels like a stretch to give the show that name, it’s basically season three of The Mandalorian. For two episodes in a row, Mando has taken center stage in the episode while Boba Fett, the main character and namesake of the show, hasn’t even said a word. At least he showed up this time but wasn’t given any lines. This feels like a bait and switch.

I’d be mad but honestly, the results are fantastic. Episodes five and six of the seven-part series are everything Star Wars should be and what fans want. But they have been placed in the wrong show and that’s a problem.

Let’s get to the heart of the episode. Mando decides that it is time to reunite with Grogu who has been training with post-Return of the Jedi Luke on an undisclosed planet. There here’s greeted by Ahsoka (the always great Rosario Dawson) who lets him know that the attachment he has to Grogu is strong and if they reunite now it may ruin all of Luke’s training. Reluctantly, Mando leaves his gift with Ahsoka to give to Grogu.

After returning to Tatooine Mando joins up with Boba and his ever-growing army to figure out the best way to defeat the Pyke Syndicate. Boba nods his approval at one point but it’s Fennec (Ming Na-Wen) that does all the talking.

While all this is going on the Pyke Syndicate is slowly making its way into Tatooine much to the dismay of Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant) the sheriff of the newly established Freetown. Literally, every time Olyphant is on screen is magic. He brings authentic Western swagger to Star Wars and I wish he could have had his own show instead.

A lot happens in the episode and it would be a shame to rob the viewer of those surprises. But those surprises are meant for the wrong characters in the Star Wars universe. Very few of the outcomes of the show will have a direct impact on Boba Fett’s world. It’s as if the writers of the show realized they wrote themselves into a corner by committing to seven episodes and just went off and wrote a different show instead.

With one episode left, there isn’t a whole lot of time to bring the focus back to Fett. Somehow he ended up as a side character in his own story. Hopefully, the writers learn their lesson and don’t make that storytelling mistake again in future shows.

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.
