Uncharted Movierulz: The film based on the adventure of Nathan Drake that will have the face of the Spider-Man SONY / Marvel arrives in theaters.
The Uncharted video game has been delighting Naughty Dog and Sony PlayStation since 2007, but it took four main chapters and two spin-offs (and perhaps the short film made in 2018 by a fan) to push Hollywood to unlock the project. by Avi Arad back in 2008. That of the film adaptation of one of the most popular and beloved videogame sagas of recent years, which finally arrives in cinemas, distributed by Warner Bros. from February 18, 2022.
Certainly thanks to the presence of the big names involved, from Mark Wahlberg to Antonio Banderas. And the good disposition of the many fans of the franchise, not to mention the fans of the action-adventure genre, never out of fashion. And when it is the director Ruben Fleischer himself and the protagonist Tom Holland who cite – explicitly and repeatedly – the old Indiana Jones as the main reference of their creation, expectations will inevitably arise.
Uncharted – more Tin Tin than Indiana Jones
A mistake that many make, more and more often, even if distorted it would be better to talk more about the attempt to attract a specific audience, even if inhomogeneous, such as that of the old films by Steven Spielberg and the followers of the digital Nathan Drake.
That this time they will only be able to observe – without intervening – their hero in the hunt for the “greatest treasure ever found” from one part of the world to the other, in pursuit of all kinds of clues that could lead him and his partner Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Wahlberg) to Nathan’s long-missing brother.
A simple story, built to fit the box office and complicated more by the obstacles that continue to distance the goal and make the research more dynamic and spectacular: this is the synthesis of what it would be unfair to judge as something other than oneself.
Like something other than a video game, carried on without any tension by two-dimensional characters moved by elementary stimuli, even less characterized than those to which the original developers have built a background over the years. More similar – just to stay in the Spielbergian context – to Tin Tin (but that film was something else!) Then to the professorial Indy.
The adventure is only just beginning
A floured Latin, a patina of Californian antiquity, artifacts and merchandising books, difficult family background, and a generic sense of loneliness to empathize with and that’s it. For two hours of pure entertainment, perhaps a little superficial, but in which aficionados can devote themselves to the search for easter eggs and cameos in the various scenes (the director himself has anticipated a couple of them) or admire the splendid settings recreated starting from the Spanish locations of Lloret de Mar, Barcelona, and Valencia.
Especially in the second part, when Uncharted photography manages to take advantage of long shots and open spaces, after the long underground search in which one ends up suffering more from the absence of verisimilitude typical of events so dependent on the more classic suspension of disbelief.
That it will be good to keep this in the final pyrotechnic, which after a predictable conclusion leaves us with the implicit announcement of an inevitable sequel. Never as in this case, after all, and despite everything (including the very concept of a treasure hunt), it is not the goal that is important, but the journey. As long as you enjoy it.
Doctor Strange’s Super Bowl LVI trailer in the Multiverse of Madness may have hinted that the sorcerer will travel to an animated world, making Marvel cartoons a potential part of the MCU‘s multiverse. This is the strangest revelation of the upcoming Sam Raimi-directed sequel, along with confirmation that Patrick Stewart will reprise his role as Professor X from the Fox X-Men films.
In the trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it appears that the character will star in an animated sequence as superhero America Chavez breaks through one of her star portals. At 1:26 of the trailer Strange can be seen apparently falling from an animated universe at the top of the frame.
The universe background features an animated background, and Strange’s lower body is half in transition from cartoon to live-action. This suggests the possibility that Marvel’s multiverse contains animated dimensions and that previous Marvel cartoons and animated shows could be made canonical in the same way that SONY films did.
One of Marvel’s Phase 4 projects, What If … ?, was Marvel Studios’ first fully animated project, and it appears that the premise of the series is to explore various alternate realities so that it could be closely linked to the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The poster of the film seems to indicate the appearances of Captain Carter and in the trailer, there are Zombie variants, two possible links with What If…? and the upcoming Marvel Zombies animated series coming to Disney +.
With the animated series of the X-Men and Spider-Man: Across the Multiverse in production, the prospect of an animated drift of the MCU seems truly exciting.
Varun Tej – Ghani: It is known that Mega Prince Varun Tej is currently acting in a sports drama called Ghani. The shooting is over and the film is ready for release. The film has a huge budget of around Rs 35 crore. The film, which has just finished shooting, is getting ready for release. However, the team plans to release the film on December 24, 2021.
However, the release of the film was postponed due to some reasons. The film crew has confirmed that the film will be released only in theaters, breaking many speculations that the makers will release the film in OTT, which has already completed all the shooting. The team has officially announced that the movie will not be released in theaters on February 25 or March 4.
The latest news is officially announced to be released on February 25th. On the other hand, it was announced that ‘Bhimla Nayak’ starring Baba Pawan Kalyan would be released on the same day. In this context, everyone is doubting whether he will venture to release the movie ‘Gani’ in which he acted as a competition for Baba. Once again, the chances of the ‘mine’ movie being postponed are high.
The movie ‘F3‘, which he has already acted in, was posted on May 27 on the occasion of the release of ‘Acharya’ starring poor father Chiranjeevi and brother Ram Charan. The film has recently completed censorship. The film was U / A certified by the Censor Board. The total run time of the movie is 2 hours 31 minutes 17 seconds. The censor certificate has been officially released.
Mine is directed by new director Kiran Korrapati. Netizens say that Varun’s physique was shocked in this movie. Sai Manjrekar plays Varun Tej in the mine. Guest roles also include Sunil Shetty, Upendra, and Jagapathi Babu. Nadia will be seen in a unique role. Gani was co-produced by Allu Bobby and Sidhu Mudda.
Apart from this film, Varun Tej is also starring in the upcoming F3 movie directed by Anil Ravipudi. In F3, Mehreen plays Varun as a couple while Venkatesh Tamanna plays another couple. Dil Raju is producing. The film has recently completed shooting. The sequel will be more comedy compared to the first part. Venkatesh and Varun Tej put up a hotel together. The problems they face from there… The story of this movie is about falling.
Director Anil Ravipudi is going to show the cats who fall into debt to make fun of. It has been recently announced that the film will be released worldwide on May 27, not on April 28 as a summer gift. On the other hand, Varun is also rumored to be starring in another film.
It seems that Varun will also be acting under the direction of Praveen Sattaru. Varun liked the storyline told by Praveen Sattaru and immediately agreed to the project. The shooting of this movie comes with a Power Pull story… According to the story it is celebrated all over London.
Pawan Kalyan – Bheemla Nayak: Power star Pawan Kalyan’s latest movie ‘Bheemla Nayak’. After Trivikram’s ‘Ajnaavasi’, after a gap of three years, after the re-entry movie ‘Vakil Saab’, there are huge expectations on this film as it is Pawan’s acting movie. The film is directed by Sagar K Chandra and narrated by Trivikram Srinivas.
Compared to the matrix, Pawan is making key changes in some scenes to suit the image in the film. The film is almost finished shooting and has just completed post-production and is ready for the first copy. This image will be sent to the censor soon. The film was supposed to be released on January 12 as a wallpaper gift.
Bheemla Nayak’s movie has been shifted to February 25, with RRR suddenly entering the competition. If the conditions are right … the film is slated to release on February 25th as per Plan A, as mentioned earlier. If not .. Plan B is announced to be released on April 1st. It has been officially announced that the film will be released on February 25. The movie ‘Bheemla Nayak’ is being released simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi. The film is being released in Hindi by B4U Motion Pictures.
If so, director Trivikram Srinivas would have closely supervised the editing of the film. With this, the team has a chance to shoot again as per Trivikram’s instructions. Already on February 25, Varun Tej has announced that he will be releasing ‘Gani’ along with Ajith ‘Valimai’ and Sharwanand ‘Adavallu Meeku Joharlu’ and Stebastian on the same day. With the entry of ‘Bheemla Nayak’, all the other films except Ajith ‘Valimai’ are likely to be delayed.
Meanwhile, it is known that the Lala Bheemla song was released and became very popular. The song was written by Trivikram. The song was released on the occasion of Trivikram’s birthday. The song, which highlights Bheemla Nayak as the hero Pawan, impressed the netizens. The team has recently released a DJ version of the song. As part of the promotions, four songs have already been dropped from the film.
The story of ‘Ayyappunum Koshiyum’ is a struggle between the self-respect of an honest police officer and a wealthy ex-army officer. Prithviraj as a rich man in Malayalam .. Biju Menon as a police officer. There will be an equal priority for these two characters. No one is less… No one is more. Both starred in Perfect Sink. That is why the movie became a blockbuster.
When it came to Telugu, Pawan Kalyan came here and joined. With that, the range of the film increased exponentially. For Rana and Pawan, the Power Star image is five or six steps high. With that, the remake of ‘Ayyappunum Koshiyum’ has now become a Costa Pawan movie. Even if Rana is acting, it is not a multistarrer. Mostly Pawan is being promoted as a movie. Business is also yours in the name of Pawan.
Rana is said to be playing a pivotal role in the film but is not being identified as another hero, according to Daggubati fans. There is no truth in that either. ‘Ayyappunum Koshiyum’ means there are two heroes in the title. Ayyappan and Koshy are the names of the clash between the two. But when it came to the remake, it became a Pawan movie called ‘Bheemla Nayak’.
Everything was fixed that Rana was wronged when the title was given. In the original ‘Ayyappunum Koshiyum’ means Ayyappan, Koshi… There are two names. In Telugu, it is not so but just named Pawan. Even though director Sagar K Chandra is directing the film, Trivikram is watching everything behind the scenes. He also wrote the screenplay and the lyrics.
Meanwhile, it seems that three major changes have been made for the Telugu remake. One is the emotional sequence… We are going to watch some emotional scenes in Telugu which are not in the original. Also a romantic track between Pawan and Nithya Menon. There is no such thing in Malayalam but in Telugu, Trivikram is adding for Pawan fans.
The Malayalam version of the movie is over 2.40 pm. However, it seems that most of the scenes in Telugu have been cut. Bheemla Nayak seems to be coming up with a run time of just 2 hours 12 minutes. Most of the scenes in this calculation were filmed. 2 hours 12 minutes is a very crispy run time. It remains to be seen what effect Trivikram’s changes on the film will have on the film as a whole.
In the adrenaline-fueled commercial of the film, arriving at the cinema at the end of May, Tom Cruise whizzes between planes and cars. Top Gun: Maverick, the highly anticipated film starring Tom Cruise, will be released in theaters on May 27
It has been more than two years since the public got to see the first trailer for Top Gun: Maverick. It was the summer of 2019, the occasion was Comic-Con in San Diego and the film should have been released in one year, in the summer of 2020. Then the pandemic broke out and the film suffered postponements after postponements, but it seems the time has finally come when fans – 35 years after the first chapter of the saga (which came out in 1986) – will be able to whiz back on the hunt alongside Tom Cruise.
The release date has in fact been definitively set for May 27, 2022, and to celebrate the occasion – and set a reminder – Paramount has decided to show a new commercial for the film during the Super Bowl, in collaboration with Porsche.
In addition to Tom Cruise, who will return as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, the cast of the sequel includes Val Kilmer, Glen Powell, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, Lewis Pullman, and many more. Kilmer will reprise the role of Tom Iceman Kazansky, while Jerry Bruckheimer returns as the film’s producer, along with composers Harold Faltermeyer and Hans Zimmer. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski with a screenplay by Peter Craig, Justin Marks, Ashley Edward Miller, and Zack Stentz.
This instead is the official synopsis of the film. After more than thirty years of service in the Navy, Lt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is right where he wants to be: a brave pilot who can push himself beyond all limits, trying to dodge the career advancement that would put a damper. to his freedom.
When called upon to coach a detachment of students from the Top Gun academy for a specialized mission that no one in the world has ever accomplished, Maverick meets Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), codenamed “Rooster”: he is the son of Maverick’s friend, Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose”. Grappling with an uncertain future and the ghosts of the past, Maverick must confront his deepest fears, up to a mission that will require the ultimate sacrifice of those who choose to participate.
Here comes the highly anticipated moment for so many Marvel fans! The new trailer for the Marvel Doctor Strange movie in the Multiverse of Madness hides a super surprise!
During the Super Bowl, the new official trailer for Doctor Strange was shown in the Multiverse of Madness, the highly anticipated Marvel sequel starring Benedict Cumberbatch which will arrive in theaters in May. The trailer is nothing short of spectacular, with creepy undertones and rather mysterious figures.
In particular, we see Doctor Strange in the presence of a figure from behind, a figure whose identity we now know! It has been made official that Patrick Stewart will return as Professor X of X-Men! The figure we see from behind is in fact none other than Charles Xavier, at the head of what appears to be a government that will put Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange on trial.
It’s been several years since Stewart officially retired from his iconic role. We saw it for the last time in James Mangold’s acclaimed film, Logan. Despite fans’ interest in seeing him again as Professor X, especially after Marvel Studios claimed the rights to the X-Men characters, there has been no news regarding his future screen appearance. That was until tonight when fans were surprised to see him appear in the Doctor Strange trailer in the Multiverse of Madness.
Attentive fans also noted that the trailer may also conceal the presence of Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four! The scene in question is always the same when Doctor Strange is summoned before a council. we see a person sitting, his face in shadow, but his costume looks the same as that of the Marvel hero. The advice seen in the trailer appears to be that of the Illuminati.
In the Marvel source material, the Illuminati are composed of Professor X, Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Reed Richards, Black Bolt, and Namor. We do not know for sure who is the interpreter of the hero of the Fantastic Four, but previous rumors have indicated the presence of John Krasinski.
‘The Book of Boba Fett’ is over, and here’s everything we know about season 2, its story, premiere date, and more.
The Book of Boba Fett comes to an end with a final episode that is bigger than anything we’ve seen on the series to date. Not only has it been the longest episode of all, but it has also given a lot of play to your Disney + subscription. All the excitement around the ending probably makes you wonder if the series will return or not. Will this be the last time we see old Boba Fett?
But before we get into whether or not The Book of Boba Fett will get a second season, we need to talk about how the ending leaves the former bounty hunter and his motley crew of allies. Hopefully, you’ve already seen the ending because we venture into SPOILER territory in the next section.
‘The Book of Boba Fett’: ending explained
Although the finale concludes the main plot of the series, it leaves things open enough for a second season. After an hour-long battle against the Pyke Syndicate, Fett’s army – which includes Din Djarin, the Teen Bikers, a squad of Freetown marksmen, Black Krrsantan, Peli Motto, Grogu, and a Rancor – Finally manages to put an end to the invading force of fish-faced gangsters. Boba Fett even has a one-on-one showdown with his old mentor Cad Bane and, using a gaffe stick and his Tusken fighting skills, Boba emerges victorious.
It sounds like Bane is dead, but the franchise is unlikely to keep a character as cool as Cad Bane six feet under. And to underscore how well the Pykes have been defeated, Fennec Shand kills every leader of Tatooine’s underworld traitor factions, along with the mayor and head of the Pyke Syndicate in a matter of seconds. She is very good at her job. The season ends with Fett and Shand strolling the streets of newly liberated Mos Espa and the citizens expressing their thanks.
Okay, the real last scene of the season is Din Djarin and Grogu leaving Tatooine in the Mandalorian’s new starfighter, and this clan of two blasting off into hyperspace for The Mandalorian Season 3 (coming on Disney+ later this year). of this year).
Well, the last real scene happens in the middle of the credits. We slowly approach Boba Fett’s bacta tank to see Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant) recovering from Cad Bane’s explosion last week. And there, to make sure Vanth gets back on his feet is the cybernetic surgeon (Stephen Bruner aka Thundercat) who brought Fennec Shand back into shape.
‘The Book of Boba Fett’ Season 2
Disney and Lucasfilm haven’t said anything official yet about the fate of The Boba Fett Book, but it’s not uncommon for them to say nothing about future seasons. The Boba Fett Book was indeed marketed as a limited series and not the debut of a new continuing series, but that can always change. The real question is whether there is still more story to tell. Judging by the end of this season, I’d bet so.
Those closing moments give the series what it’s been missing: a colorful cast of contrasting characters. Boba, Fennec, Krrsantan, Drash, Skad… It finally looks like the whole gang is here. Plus, there’s the inevitable return of Cobb Vanth.
That has to happen somewhere, and that should be in The Book of Boba Fett Season 2 (especially since The Mandalorian needs to stay away from Tatooine – we’ve seen so much of Tatooine!). And despite the flaws of the first season, a second season could benefit greatly from having a great cast to play with and, theoretically, more time to prepare a more cohesive story.
‘The Book of Boba Fett’ Season 2: release date
That’s the big question, right? Considering The Mandalorian had a yearly schedule until The Book of Boba Fett arrived, it’s possible we’ll see a new season of Boba Fett in early 2023. However, that would probably require The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett to have separate teams.
The reason why we haven’t received the third season of The Mandalorian is probably that Boba Fett and The Mandalorian have basically the same team: close to 500 people have worked on both series. If both series are going to have an annual schedule, they’ll need a lot more help.
That’s without taking into account all the other Star Wars series that is on the way. Obi-Wan Kenobi is probably next, Andor and The Mandalorian season three will follow, and then there’s the Ahsoka Tano series and the still-mysterious The Acolyte. There’s a lot of Star Wars to come, and the likelihood that we’ll get a second season of The Boba Fett Book, and the likelihood that we’ll get it sooner rather than later, really depends on Lucasfilm’s long-term plans for all of these. series. There is too much to do.
Star Wars has plans for Cobb Vanth, the Timothy Olyphant character who was introduced in The Mandalorian and has been brought back in The Boba Fett Book. The post-credits of the bounty hunter limited series point to the incursion of the Marshal of Mos Pelgo, I mean Free City, as a new fixed character in this universe.
The post-credits scene of the final episode of The Book of Boba Fett, like the post-credits of season 2 of The Mandalorian with Fett’s character, shows that Disney and Star Wars have plans for Cobb Vanth, the character Timothy brings to life. Olyphant. Basically, Cobb Vanth becomes the natural substitute for the character of Cara Dune (Gina Carano) in the future grid of the Star Wars Universe.
After Disney fired Carano for some controversial statements and the New Republic Rangers series was canceled, a new fiction that was outlined in the final episode of season 2 of The Mandalorian, Cobb Vanth now offers Lucasfilm a new opportunity to explore that world of rangers and marshals of the New Republic after the fall of the Empire and before the arrival of the First Order. It had become clear to us that he had not died, so the post-credits have direction and magnitude.
The original New Republic Rangers series was to bring back and reinvent characters that were born outside of the official Star Wars canon in various novels and comics. Clearly, all the narrative weight was going to be carried by the character of Gina Carano: the last episode of the adventures of Mando and Grogu had a lot of intention. So just as they were willing to dump the series weight on Cara Dune in that new series, these Rangers can now sign Cobb Vanth.
Although it doesn’t have to be the same story (it can’t be, especially if they replace a female character with a male one) and the plot can now perfectly mix the hard-charging sheriffs of the galaxy with rangers. The Rangers [that’s their official name] were basically an interplanetary agency under the New Republic dedicated to hunting down criminals deemed too dangerous for the local authorities.
Vanth, now turned into a cyborg, fits the profile of a candidate for this agency, don’t you think? And don’t forget Mayfield (Bill Burr), another textbook candidate. Whatever the story they had initially thought of, it has had to be modified or will be modified. But Star Wars, basically Jon Favreau and David Filoni, architects of this new phase of the universe, have been leaving clues.
Starting with Emperor Palpatine’s Contingency plan if the Empire fell following Operation Cinder that we were dropped in The Mandalorian in Season 2. Now let’s get to it. Cobb Vanth would fit right in there. Especially since everything we knew about him, in theory, has already passed and about his future from now on has not been previously written in the Star Wars Universe.

You already know, but just to recap. Who is Cobb Vanth? He is a character born in the Consequences trilogy of novels: he is a slave (although it is not made clear whose, it seems that one of the great crime families and that he was a slave during the Galactic Civil War) who manages to free himself just when the sun falls. Empire. He arrives in Mos Pelgo where he meets one of the most despicable crime syndicates, the Red Key Raiders.
As The Boba Fett Book has tangentially portrayed, when Jabba dies there was a power war between all the criminal families (what we have actually seen, more than wars, has been the total and absolute submission of the families to the Pyke syndicate, which in the end it has proven to be weak and easy to dismantle, which leaves the rest of the unions at the level of bitumen).
However, out of fear of the New Republic, they tried to whitewash their activities. In the case of the Red Keys, they tried to pass themselves off as a mining union. Vanth takes on the Red Key Raiders the same way he’s taken on the Pyke in Fett’s series, but instead of getting on bad with the desert dwellers, as hinted at in The Mandalorian (yes, there’s been a whitewash of the Tuskens with Boba), they reach a protection agreement in exchange for water.
The most important thing about the novels is that Vanth, as The Boba Fett book has made clear, is a man of his word, a nobleman like few others (although the Mos Pelgo bartender is not far behind… another Rangers candidate if forgets to be an entrepreneur).
And we already entered the contingency plan and Operation Ceniza. The Emperor had a plan if he died or if he disappeared under “strange circumstances” so that his Imperial admirals would know what to do. It was Operation Cinder. And Operation Cinder was followed by a Contingency plan, which was this-message-will-self-destruct-in-fifteen-seconds.
The entire Empire was put into self-destruct mode to fall back, and they all fled jointly to the Unknown Regions to recreate a new, less imperfect Empire. Fans were never sold on this plan. So the big question now is: Is there any part of Operation: Cinder that hasn’t been revealed yet that would make sense of the Emperor’s plan?
The version of the new Star Wars of Rangers of the New Republic or whatever the name of the new series in which Vanth is going to fit in can fit in there: they will investigate the vestiges of the Empire while hunting criminals. Because that series has to learn from the great lesson of The Book of Boba Fett: the more it resembles The Mandalorian (go from small mission to small mission, no flashbacks), the better.
The latest and adrenaline-pumping chapter of The Book of Boba Fett Star Wars Spin-off series only partially lifts a fluctuating season.
We arrived on the last Wednesday in the company of The Book of Boba Fett which, with the seventh episode, closes the narrative arc on the famous bounty hunter. It was a stormy journey that of the Disney + series, punctuated by soporific digressions, questionable narrative choices, and abrupt changes of course. From the introduction to Fett’s new route, between past and present, we moved on to a focus on the character of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and finally to the long-awaited grand finale.
The last chapter entitled In The Name of Honor was a succession of surprises and heated fights, confirming an excellent graphic and scenographic rendering. Unfortunately, in terms of the story, not everything turned out to be flawless, as was to be expected. The mass of characters, each with their own background, flooded the engine of the series. The screenplay written by Jon Favreau tries to give space to each of the elements involved, by restricting the prime time of the protagonists.
Obviously, we are talking about the unfortunate Boba Fett who, although present, never stands out in the story. There is certainly no shortage of great sequences with the “protagonist” of the series, but the accessory elements are more surprising than the character itself.
It’s a real shame because the foundations for creating something unique and capable of competing with the parent series were all there. The primary difficulty, in our opinion, was to give shape to a new personality for the former henchman of Jabba the Hutt, as the canons that had defined him in the films had been inherited from Pedro Pascal’s Mando.
That said, The Book of Boba Fett still manages to give us excellent moments, those capable of making us jump out of the armchair. The problem, however, is once again the direction of Robert Rodriguez. The director can’t stand comparison with Dave Filoni, who directed the sixth episode, or with Bryce Dallas Howard and his fantastic The Return of the Mandalorian. In short, Rodriguez’s aesthetic sense does not seem to blend with the Star Wars universe; a bit like water and oil.
The following contains spoilers, so we recommend reading for those who have seen the seventh episode released on Disney + on February 9th.
The Book of Boba Fett the final battle in the streets of Mos Espa
The sixth episode of The Book of Boba Fett closed with the surprising arrival of Cad Bane, one of the most famous and ruthless bounty hunters in the galaxy. After a fantastic Mexican stalemate with Cobb Vanth and his deputy, the Durosian gunslinger is easily the winner, starting a real war between the Pyke Syndicate and the new Damien of Tatooine. Fett, having accepted the gauntlet, has to deal with the repercussions, first of all, the explosion of the characteristic Mos Espa tavern.
This is what happened on Tatooine, while in another part Grogu’s decision remained pending: to receive Yoda’s old lightsaber and continue his Jedi training or to accept the chain mail given to him by Mando and leave the streets forever. of force. Each piece is in place, and the fuse of battle has now been lit. In The Name of Honor, a heap of rubble starts right from the tavern. Boba Fett, Shand, the Cyborgs, and Mando consider the way forward to face their enemy.
One cannot fail to notice a certain similarity with the last episode of the first season of The Mandalorian. Both endings share not a few elements in common, starting with the protagonists barricaded in a room in obvious numerical inferiority, while on the outside the enemy moves their apparently unbeatable troops. It is not the first time that Disney has been digging up scenes from old products to create new ones in others; whether it is in animated films or within Cinecomics.
Leaving aside this aspect, however not just, the seventh episode of The Book of Boba Fett launches into a frenzied race through the streets of Mos Espa, between shootings, screams, and a lot of explosions. The arrival of the cyborgs on their colorful speeders lights up the receptors of our memory, and the scene is immediately accompanied by an iconic theme: “When you don’t know how to get out of trouble, call the Power Rangers. Here they are in our city, mom what speed.
Red and yellow plus pink, black and blue, the Power Rangers colors ”. Unfortunately (or fortunately) they will not be the heroes of the moment, and we will not have the chance to see a giant Megazord in the world of Star Wars. But Jon Favreau knows exactly what fans want, and in the middle of the episode, he gives us the highly anticipated Boba Fett back at the Rancor. What can I say, at this point, the series regains points again. But let’s go in order.
The arrival of Grogu and the duel with Cad Bane
The calm before the storm is broken by the betrayal of Mos Espa’s noble families, whose followers begin to attack members of Fett’s group from behind. The first to fall are the two Gamorrean guards, in a scene with questionable execution. In a chain, the cyborgs and the brutal Wookie Krrsantan are stopped.
Meanwhile, Mando and Fett engage in a heated blaster battle. The moment is well constructed, especially thanks to that western cut that characterized the previous episode. The synergy of the movements between the two characters, the use of jet packs and armor as shields, fortifies the moment, which will continue in an escalation of adrenaline. We are talking about the aforementioned arrival of rancor and Grogu. As much as the little one warms his heart every time he enters the scene, his presence in The Book of Boba Fett rests on pure fanservice, also detracting from the value of The Mandalorian’s ending.
We would have expected, after the appearance in the sixth episode, to see him again in the third season. The screenplay instead decided to immediately bring him back to the fold, once again detracting from the presence of Boba Fett and his companions. This is demonstrated by the fact that the episode ends with a funny curtain in the company of Mando, instead of with the protagonist.
In The Name of Honor, it also shows the duel between Cad Bane and Boba, perhaps the most important moment of the series, the one in which the protagonist’s path is given greater depth. In the previous episode, the Durosian claimed that Fett is a ruthless killer. Yet, our protagonist seems to have left that life behind, he has softened. This characteristic was discreetly accentuated in the third and fourth episodes, going to dismantle the myth of the great fighter.
Beyond this, Fett manages to get the better of Bane thanks to his new heritage, embodied in the Tusken stick; a cathartic moment that encompasses his entire path. The Book of Boba Fett could be wrapped up in this single duel, which tells a lot more about the protagonist than previous episodes did. Even here, however, the villain is eliminated too easily; we would have expected a greater presence within the episode.
The Book of Boba Fett is an ending that only partially redeems a fluctuating season
But let us return to that structural problem of the entire series, namely the goodness of Boba Fett. The latter would like to be the new crime lord, but his criminal actions have very little. In fact, we are faced with a good and merciful leader, able to accept everyone’s requests for a higher purpose: to save the city and the entire planet from the clutches of the spice and from the despots of the galaxy; a real savior, as evidenced by the final scene in which the people of Mos Espa happily bow before their leader.
And this is where the same principle applies as in the previous episodes because the episode does what had not yet been done: giving space to action. In The Name of Honor is an adrenaline-fueled episode that leaves no room for moments of stasis (although not everything is embroidered with all the trimmings).
From the arrival of Grogu to the clash with Rancor, from the duel with Cad Bane to the end, it is a very pleasant race at breakneck speed. We are happy, of course, to see such moments, but at the same time, we have to deal with what has been shown previously.
The Book of Boba Fett is not a perfect series, and the ending fully reflects the entire season: there are some great action moments, but some narrative choices undermine their full success. Finally, Disney + ‘s new Star Wars product doesn’t beat the comparison to The Mandalorian, but it’s still many steps ahead of the sequel trilogy.
The final episode succeeds in the difficult task of putting all the pieces back in order, touching some of them improperly, of course, but still giving meaning to a story that for four chapters did not have a precise address. The final minutes also lay the foundations for the future, with Mando and Grogu back together and a revived Cobb Vanth, the sheriff of Free Town, being regenerated inside the Bacta tank in the post-credit scene.
We will likely see the charming Timothy Olyphant again in a possible second season of The Book of Boba Fett or other derivative works. In conclusion, the series on Fett confirmed once again how much the Starwarsian imaginary can be adapted to various stories, and how the western component is the right path to follow; perhaps with a less shaky script.
