The Book Of Boba Fett Review: 8 Ups & 1 Down For Chapter 1: 'Stranger In A Strange Land'

4. The Mission Objective

The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 1 A Stranger in a Strange Land
Disney
"Jabba ruled with fear; I intend to rule with respect."

With that one line, Stranger in a Strange Land set its stall out when it comes to the mission objective of Boba Fett in his new role as the Crime Lord of Tatooine.

Having taken over Jabba's Palace, Boba has made it clear that while he intends to partake in crime and dominate the local area, he won't be doing so simply by drumming up the fear factor and amassing a pile of dead bodies to make some sinister statement.

Of course, Fett isn't one to mess around if the need arises to get his hands dirty, and it remains to be seen how Boba walks the line between fear and respect. Either way, it was nice of The Book of Boba Fett to establish Fett's planned way of operating from the get-go here in this first episode.
