The Mandalorian is about a specific Mandalorian (Din) not just Mandalorians in general.

It is a bit like saying "Why would someone make two different shows about Yoda and Obi-Wan? They both where robes and have powers." I've not watched Boba Fett, but Din's story and trajectory is (and will be) far different from whatever Boba Fett is getting up to.

It just seems to me like, out of the vast multiplicity of stories you can tell in the Star Wars universe, going with two different shows about bounty hunters wearing Mandalorian armor is odd. That's just my opinion I guess, sorry.

AFAIK, Boba Fett isn't doing much bounty hunting on his show. He is like a politician who sometimes punches people now (hence why Boba Fett fans are not happy).

He was kinda shit as a bounty hunter anyway. In four appearances, Empire, Holiday Special, Droids, and Jedi, the only time he successfully collected a bounty on his own was in Droids where he cashed in the bounty on his own employers while the barely competent bozos he was employed to take down managed to nearly explode him. Even in Empire, he needed Vader to bring the heavy mob in to get Han. Even if you score that for him, that is still only one and a half out of four.

Fett really does need to get another career.

nayrt

I used to wonder what was so great about Boba Fett from the early movies- he was reckless. But when they showed him as a kid in the prequels I started liking him and started reading the EU stuff about him- usually by authors who made him more efficient than he was in the movies.

I'm liking this current show because it's showing him growing out into a different theme, and different career, and I like the idea of taking over some territory and making it stable in that universe.

It's not the best made series, but it's making Boba Fett more interesting as a character.

I mean, yes, it’s a bit odd that they’re pretty much happening at the same time. But if we’re talking about Star Wars media with similar protagonists, then we’ve had seven movies and a cartoon (OT, Sequels, Rogue One, Rebels) about scrappy rebels, three movies and a cartoon (PT and Clone Wars) about the fall of the Jedi Order, and at least four separate protagonists who are young Jedi trying to survive in the aftermath of said fall (Luke, Rey, Kanan and Ezra). Five if you count Grogu from Mandalorian also. Those are only counting the ones from the media I’ve seen. SW as a franchise likes to pick its tropes and stick with them.
