So I just finished watching the updated Book Five and enjoyed it overall. The repurposing of Boba’s spirit vision into a bacta tank dream montage was clever, as well as the stinger of Bib Fortuna’s death. I really thought Boba’s authority and overall goals worked so much better in this edit than the original source material. I liked how you minimized the Mods and Freetown folks presence throughout. Gone is the power ranger eque street bike “chase” that looked like it was in slo-mo and the cringey fighting sequences of the freetown folk extras.

I did spot a continuity error around the 1:35 mark (I believe) as the mayor’s Twi’lek envoy appears in Garsa Fwip’s bombed out business, yet his appearance in the scenes leading up to this have been removed. Also while the AI lines worked well, the water monger having an issue with Krrsantan was little bit of a logical leap, but I guess it could be chalked up to him being an overall troublemaker as he lacks any purpose or a job so he is taking it out on places of business.

I also liked the music used at the end, when Luke trains Grogu and speaks to Ahsoka. However, I belive it may need to be dialed down a notch as it drowns out the dialogue a bit. In closing, great edition to the series and I commend you as I believe adapting the Book of Boba Fett “modern day” material was a daunting task. It is not my favorite book of the series, but makes those “modern day” Boba scenes much more tolerable and saves Boba from being a shell of his former self. Great job; looking forward to Book Six in the coming days (weeks)!
