I think a better direction for this series would have been to have shown different “chapters” of Boba’s life. Could’ve given more explanation for the title, which still doesn’t make much sense now that the finale is over.

Maybe you could’ve still jumped back and forth to present and past, or you could’ve gone chronologically.

You could’ve had one or two episodes showing younger Boba’s early bounty hunting days, maybe being mentored by Cad Bane. Maybe young Boba’s look and setting could’ve been inspired by the cancelled 1313 game. Use the budget for the ringworld from episode 5 to instead depict the Coruscant underworld. This young Boba story arc could’ve ended with Boba dueling Bane, beating him, and his notoriety beginning to spread.

Next, you could’ve had an episode or two showing Boba Fett at the height of his infamy. With his classic look. These episodes should really justify why Boba is considered one of the coolest Star Wats characters. Let’s see him hunt some bounties, show us if he is ruthless or honorable. Show us why he is the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy, and what that reputation costs him.

THEN, we can see Boba survive the Sarlacc, and how he comes to live with the Tuskens. Now, when Boba changes from this experience, we have actually seen what Boba was like before this event.

Finally, we can have the present day plot, and we now should have a full picture of who Boba Fett is, and why he wants to take over Tatooine. You could be cutting to this present day plot throughout the whole series, but regardless of that, hopefully we can tie in themes and ideas that are set up in the past and paid off in future/present.

But, with the way the finale ended, it seems like Boba Fett might not even stay on Tatooine for long… bringing into question the point of it all. But we’ll see I guess.
