10 Dumbest Things About Star Wars TV Shows

10. Leaving The Main Character On The Sidelines So Much - The Book Of Boba Fett

The moment easily the most adored bounty hunter in the history of this franchise officially returned to Star Wars on-screen in The Mandalorian's second season, viewers were crossing their fingers that a long-awaited solo Boba Fett story would soon be very much on its way, too.

A surprise spin-off was then made official during the finale of that aforementioned Mando season.

But rather than a hugely satisfying seven episodes which strictly kept the spotlight on Boba and his new role as the Daimyo of Mos Espa, the minds behind this Book of Boba Fett had other ideas.

After initially revealing precisely how the iconic sharpshooter had survived his Sarlacc fall in Episode VI - Return of the Jedi and what he'd been up to in the time before showing up in The Mandalorian - being eventually taken in by a Tusken Raider tribe after being captured by them - a few surprise appearances annoyingly took the attention away from the apparent star of the show.

Mando's reunion with Grogu, the surprise returns of Luke Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, and the fact Fett actually disappeared for bafflingly long spells in the latter episodes ultimately ended up making the second half of this hotly anticipated Fett book feel like little more than The Mandalorian season 2.5.

If Jon Favreau and the gang didn't possess a story interesting enough to keep the titular Beskar-badass front and centre for the entire season, why bother putting his name on the thing in the first place?

Viewers likely wouldn't have been anywhere near as disappointed at the sight of Boba being sidelined for big chunks of this New Republic era show if Disney had just decided to turn this often Fett-less book into another season of The Mandalorian instead.
