so that’s not boba fett? poppy cock!

Ok it has been a while since I have gotten angry about something. Maybe the last time was when I sued Popeyes for not having the sandwich I wanted. Shaved chicken role, cucumber and mustard. How hard is that???

Any ways I come to you today with a beef of immense importance and dignity. Sorry not good with words when all Lou Rawled up.

So there is a Dizney show coming out soon called The Mandalorian (which does not star Mandy Patinkin sadly – a golden opportunity wasted if there ever was one).  A common person – a layman if you will –  would think that looks just like Boba Fett from Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi fame. It certainly must be a Boba Fett show because why in the heavens would they create new character that looks like Boba Fett or Jango Fett (for the deep cut) that is not Boba Fett. Well children of the bjorn, That is not Mr Fett. He is only known as the Mandalorian. Um. Why?

So I know that “Bobes” armor was Mandalorian (race of fightin warriors per other light star wars material reading) in nature and he was just a clone. But for goodness sakes Boba Fett was an established SW character that even the casual fan knows. In the name of sweet Lobot why is this show not about him??? OH and to add cream to your syrup, there’s a droid in the show that looks like um oh lets see, IG-88 – the coolest droid bounty hunter this side of Peotone. But no kids he is not IG-88 he’s IG-11. I’m sorry your math is off by 77 numbers. That’s IG-88 or I didn’t sue Popeyes for not having my rhubarb shake on site.

But seriously. I get it. They want to explore new characters but by heavens if you are going to set this show 5 years after Return of the Jedi you by damn golly should use characters that exist – not lookalikes. I don’t know.  Maybe I’m one of those guys that expects a southern chicken fast food chain to carry my favorite fried bologna and cottage cheese value meal. But for real. You are right there in that time period. Use what Lucas created I beg of you. Who knows maybe they are just misleading us. It just doesn’t make sense. Maybe they couldn’t think of how Boba Fett got out of the Sarlacc Pit in Return of the Jedi. A belching Sarlacc does not equal death by any means. And I should know as I have not been married and live with a doll. Sorry I mean “object of stuffing” #nealmcdoogin #trending

This is all they had to do. The first scene would be a silhouette of a bounty hunter on the horizon and he’s pushing this crazy block shape thing across the desert. You finally get a close up and it is indeed, Boba Fett covered in mucus. And the object that he is pushing? He is delivering a frozen carbonate Sarlacc to recently dead Jabba the Hutt’s cousin Mikey or somebody. Boom. That’s your beginning. Then go on and make your new fresh adventures. Just don’t dilly dally us with this new character. You may as well create something entirely different if you are not going the Fett route.

So Disney, if that is not Boba Fett then that announced Obi Wan Kenobi show should not be about Obi Wan then. Because I am mad at cha! How do you like them apples!

That said can’t wait to go to Popeyes tomorrow and see if they have a Mc Fish Filet.
