I agree.   That said, his helmet is essentially his crown in addition to his armor.    Like Vader’s mask, it strikes fear in his enemies.

However a simpler explanation, his contract says he gets so much face time outside the mask?

Quoted:

They might have just written it into his contract pre-emptively to avoid another Pedro Pascal.

I don't feel like copypasting the several anti-Fett posts I've made, but here's a link to get started if you feel the need to revisit the criticisms Boba "That Guy" Fett.

In a series/movie that's going to be made by Disney, where they're overshadowing their own modest success with the semi-unique character of the Mandalorian, where their main character who's perceived as badass (despite the fact that he's a flunky incapable of following simple directions without being lectured directly by the boss) - he's a badass all because he doesn't talk, is mysterious in background, and keeps his helmet on so he's just an impassive mask... and the first thing they do is take off his helmet and put in a [critical drinker voice]Strong Diverse Female Character[/critical drinker voice] who basically talks over him in his own trailer.  That may well suck, especially as Kathleen Kennedy is still listed as an executive producer and she's all about intersectional deconstruction/destruction of everything that people like.

However, with John Favreau at the helm (which it looks like he is for now), and already described as "Mandalorian season 2.5", it may well be at least okay.  As with the entire Star Wars universe, they can't seem to get off some dustball, but at least there's another character involved who isn't related by blood to any of the jedi families.  So there's that.

I'm not sure I'd hold my breath expecting anything great, but at least it'll look like stories in the Star Wars universe, and at this point, something that looks like what fans imagine their RPG sessions in high school and college would've look like on film is about the best anyone is going to get.  Hopefully it's not full of character assassination of Fett (I have already gone on about how he sucks, and anything by the mouse just wouldn't be fair to use).   Really hopeful it's not full of destroying the character, especially for fans who have their own high opinions of him based on how he looks cool and is perceived as cool, and all the now-deleted EU writing that made him cool.  Going in assuming the sidekick chick is actually the main character and Boba Fett will be ignored in his own story is probably a tragically safe bet for 2021, and if wrong, it'll probably be enjoyable with the bar set that low.

My physique moreso resembles the Gamorean Guards post Holidays…

How virtuous of you. If you stick around in this thread long enough, maybe we'll all agree the show sucks and you won't even have to watch it at all! You could cancel now and save yourself money.

What happened there?  

Quoted:

Pascal threw a bitch fit because he wasn't getting enough face time. So they had to write an extra episode just for him where there's a plot device requiring him to take the helmet off.

Quoted:
So he accepted a part that requires him to always wear his helmet, then complains about not enough face time?  What a little bitch.

Is he really in a position to be demanding that though?

This is the biggest role he’s ever been offered in his career and Disney damn sure didn't HAVE to have him.  I doubt a great many fans would be seriously outraged if, after it came out Morrison was acting like a diva, Disney replaced a 60+ year old bloated Boba Fett with a similar looking/sounding actor that was a much more realistic late 30s/early 40s and in much better shape.

They weren't actually looking for the water pods. That's what the kid told them that's why they were there. Let me put it this way. Would you go digging around in the dirt if I told you I wanted to find a six armed monster that would kill one or both of you so I could take it's head as a prize in the likely event that one or both of you manage to kill it? No? Ok then, I need you to dig around in the dirt because I'm thirsty and there's water in little pods buried in the ground here.


I didn't hate the episode, I just thought it was very, very weak.

Quoted:


Fair theory, but I interpreted that kid had no idea they’d be encountering that monster.
