I think a big issue I have with Boba Fett’s characterization here is that he keeps saying he’s the ruler (daimyo) and that he wants to rule with respect, but he shows almost zero leadership in pretty much every situation where leadership, strength, and decisiveness are needed or appropriate (especially if he wants to establish himself as the guy in charge).

When people complain he seems too weak, it’s not because of his success or failure in battle. It’s his absolutely wishy-washy lack of any real leadership skills.

There’s a such thing as “tough but fair” which is what Fett needs to be (and I think what we all anticipated). But so far he really isn’t.

And it’s especially jarring since that is the characterization we saw with his appearances in Mando and it was fantastic.
