The Book Of Boba Fett: Rewritten - A Fanfix

About This Fanfix:
The Book Of Boba Fett Rewritten is a fanfix with the intent on giving Boba back that edge to his character he once had in the original trilogy by making him less apologetic and sympathetic to others around him, making his followers question his judgement less & removing unneeded dialogue from him where possible as well as fix any other issues within each episode to better convey the story being told.

If you didn’t like The Book Of Boba Fett series storyline this fanfix series edit won’t change that as my goal is to keep the same content for the most part but fix the glaring issues the show had for example cut back on Fett coochie cooing the rancor, not having Fennic make the decisions for Boba or second guessing the decisions he makes to name a few. I also attempt to address a few other issues for example like speeding up the speed bike gang, removing the Jabba kitchen droid chase scene and showing less of Boba getting his ass kicked in he’s series first fight scene.

Chapter Change list:

Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land

  • cut the first shot only of the stormtrooper in the sarlac pit as the bright white clean armour along with the bright lime slime cheapens the scene.

  • removed a few frames when the tusken raider squeezes the bug juice into Bobas mouth as again the thick bright lime slime comes across as cheap.

  • cut Boba running his hands down the watchdogs face after knocking it out.

  • cut Boba explaining to the rodian he wants to also free him too

  • trimmed Boba politely asking to move twi’lek majordomo along during the palace throne room scene after not paying his tribute.

  • trimmed Bobas dialogue in the cantina in Mos Espa so he appears more direct and less friendly.

  • rearranged the assassin fight scene to show a more capable fighter in Boba by having him fire on assassins just before they put their shields up and editing the fight to show Boba taking less hits, also the gamorian guards cut into the fight quicker.

  • trimmed Bobas dialogue with the tusken kid while digging in the desert as its obvious what is conveyed through hand gestures alone

  • cut Boba telling the rodian he could help him escape the tuskens if he keeps quiet, he now just states “I could strangle you with this ankle chain and feed you to the watchdog”

Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine

  • cut Boba explaining his holding the gaffi stick the same after being hit during training.

  • trimmed the train heist scene to show Boba throwing the droid driver off the train instead of threatening the droid with his gaffi stick then watching the droid open a window and hop out.

  • removed the lizard going up Bobas nose during the tusken scene now shows Boba coughing after the tusken throws powder into his face sending him into a dream state only showing the lizard leaving after he finishes his trial so the audience is just as surprised as Boba when he learns the lizard is not part of the dream.

Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa

- Updated Chapter 3 to v1.1 with the following changes -
- trimmed the speed bike gangs initial slow start up scene before chase
- improved the yellow speed bike cut to during chase before crashing

  • cut Bobas dialogue with the palace droid being concerned over hearing the name Jabba

  • cut Boba asking for Fennecs advise in the throne room

  • slightly trimmed the speed bike girl moaning to Boba about not working

  • slightly trimmed Boba getting off his bantha before seeing Pykes for pacing

  • cut Boba crying during the tusken funeral

  • trimmed the Krrsantan fight to show Bobas limp feet while being crushed by Krrsantan to portray Bobas in alot more peril and cut to the speed bike girls entrance quicker.

  • trimmed and rearranged what was originally Boba casually walking down the stairs while putting his robe on during Krrsantan fight.

  • cut Boba explaining how he feels about his situation after the fight with Krrsantan to Fennec during the feast scene.

  • cut Fennec questioning Bobas decision on freeing Krrsantan

  • trimmed a lot of Boba doting over the rancor

  • cut Boba being surprised and asking “did he just lock the door” when going to see the mayor, also cut Fennec saying “let me” when trying to open the door Boba now instinctively leaves it to Fennec to open.

  • heavily trimmed and sped up the speed bike chase scene

  • trimmed and sped up the cyborg eyed biker guy driving whilst also removing the exposed set scenery corner backdrop mistakenly found in the scene see here 😬

  • cut the bad joke Boba made to cyborg eyed biker guy about “keeping an eye on them”

Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm

  • trimmed Boba talking to his bantha

  • removed Boba & Fennec breaking into the palace right under the guards noses by re arranging the scene to not show how close the pipe they entered is to the main gate.

  • cut the droid chasing antics in the kitchen

  • cut Fennec stating they need to get to the hanger

  • slightly trimmed fennec shooting the main gates chain when escaping by a few frames.

  • rearranged the sarlac pit scene removing the special edition version beak to the sarlac and removed fennec yelling at Boba to “shoot it!”

  • cut Fennec telling Boba “it’s not safe in there” as hes leaving sarlac pit.

  • shortened the cantina twi’lek Garsa Fwis conversation to Krrsantan.

Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor

  • cut Bobas reaction to Mando getting Freetown people to work for free

  • cut Boba explaining to Fennec his decision to stop spice coming to town for the Freetown peoples assistance.

  • rearranged scene to show Boba making his decision to stay in mos espa instead of going to his palace to fight after hearing what the speed bike girl says and not going back on his decisions.

  • sped up speed bike gang as they drive around town while fennec explains the plan

  • cut Boba asking Fennec what to do now

  • cut the flashback to the tusken raider attack

  • rearranged the Cad Bane showdown to imply the reason Boba doesn’t retaliate is because he knows Banes dirty tricks and Fennec will be the first to be shot, similar to how it went down with the marshal of Freetown, also Boba speaks less.

  • its now Bobas decision to send Fennec to Mos Eisley to hunt down the Pyke leader.

  • sped up speed bikes entrance into the fight

  • cut Bobas line “welcome back santan” he just now says “I have to confess I thought you were gone"

  • cut cyborg eyed biker guys spinning shot, now when the Pykes start shooting at the bike gang members they start limping away beaten holding Krrsantan

  • rearranged the Pykes vs the towns people shoot-out to show a lot less Pykes being shot down, they are now seen as more of a threat

  • cut Bobas lines to Bane “these are my people”

It bothered me that Boba left Fennec to sort out the person involved with killing his tusken family at the end of the show, then she just leaves through the door bit anti-climatic. So I’ve addressed this glaring issue with an alternate ending 😉

PM me if your interested in seeing this fanfix

Any more ideas to improve this series are welcome. 😄

I totally agree with the way you want to improve Boba’s character.

Even Temuera Morrison thought he had too many lines.

I’d love to see this. While I did enjoy the show quite a bit I thought it could be better and a lot of these choices seem like they’d improve what I thought were the weak points.

I watched the first three episode and enjoyed all of them mostly. I do think the cuts could be worked on slightly during the scene with Boba and the rodian prisoner at the camp before his attempted escape and the scene between Boba and the hired thugs in town. These were the only cuts that were noticable to me in the first episode. I definetly think this makes Boba look tougher and more calculating though. Good work overall; thanks for sharing!

The second episode was probably the strongest Fett centric episode of the series so minimal changes to this one were needed. It was a tight edit and enjoyable. The third episode was always going to be the biggest challenge as any way you slice it, those “mods” are fairly cringe and Boba looked weak mostly in the original episode. Some of the quicks cuts are slighly noticeable mainly due to audio issues. I think the “chase” scene could still be cut some more, but definetly an improvment overall. I will give you further feedback when I finish the rest!

Thanks Darth Sadifous I appreciate the feedback I’ll work on smoothing out some of the cuts you mentioned and post here when done. I agree the third episode is is a tricky one I felt that after cutting the chase seen and speeding it up it was maybe too short so surprised you think its still too long if most people feel its still to long I’ll give it a trim 😎. Thanks again for your thoughts hope to get the most out of this TV show edit before moving onto the ObiWan show fanfix 😉.

This is a big improvement…Bravo! I watched the last two episodes. I think cutting the slapstick of the rat catcher droid definetly worked and rearranging the scenes to make Boba’s inflitration of the palace more stealthy was nice. The Sarlac pit scene still bothers me as Boba is clearly stripped of the armor out of it in the beginning of the series and would know we could not have survived if he lost the armor before escaping the pit. The scene is a bit to fan servicey to me and the action is a little silly. Perhaps there might be a way to portray he was too delirous to remember following his ascent from the pit. However, I know some people enjoy it. I would personally just cut it.

The last episode still has issues, mainly the freetown folk and mod bike gang making the finale unbelievable with how few die against an army of Pyke and two heavy armored/ shielded droids. I don’t know if there is anything you can really do about this beyond cutting down the time we see them running down the street in no cover and the amount of time the are behind that wall that apaprently can take unlimited damage. Maybe add some wilhelm screams of camera to convey more people perished.

I do love you made Boba more decisive and assertive. The new ending works for me a lot, accept for the fade in to the repurposed stinger from the Mando season two. I think that may need a little more time to breathe, it is a bit abrupt. Overall, good job…the series is still not perfect, but you made it more enjoyable to watch. Thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks again Darth Sadifous for your feedback I’ll see what I can do with what you’ve stated in your comments above and work it into v2 of the series which I’m now colour grading to remove the original dull tint so the day scenes come across warmer and the night scenes a little darker for all episodes (see comparison pics below).

Wow! That V2 Colour Grading looks epic! It’s a small touch but Disney Star Wars seems to miss the colour vibrancy that was always apart of the series in the hands of Lucas. Looks/sounds like you’re doing great work on this series! Keep it up! 😄

Thanks g00b, I’ve been a little waylaid getting V2 of the series out but will be looking to get it finished up at some point 😄.
