TV review: Star Wars: The Book of Bobba Fett

 I think this series might be a bit below the quality of some of the other Star Wars fare, but it does entertain and advance the Star Wars story.  My complaint center around the use of so much flash back to catch us up on the history of Bobba Fett (Temuera Morrison).  This is mostly through reminiscences while Bobba Fett is in the bacta tank.  This is a bit slow.  The Mandalorian Pedro Pascual) scenes are my favorite as well as the Grogu scenes.  Grogu has to deide if he will continue his Jedi training with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hammill) or go back with the Mandalorian.  In the end they set up the next Mandalorian series with Grogu and the Mandalorian traveling toether.  

In the end, Bobba Fett faces off against the Pykes and is terrible undermanned.  He is also betrayed by many of the other crime bosses on Tatooine.  However Fett's side kick, Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) infiltrates the Pyke leadership and kills them.  Fett's rancor destroys a Scorpenek droid, but goes on a rampage.  However Grogu is able to calm the rancor.  

Movie Review: ****^Moana

Here is a Disney movie without a romantic relationship, yet it is beautiful and I was thoroughly entertained.  Moana (Auli'i Carvalho) is given a mission by the ocean, of finding the demigod, Maui (Dwayne Johnson) and carrying the heart of Te Fiti (a goddess of life) which he stole 1000 years before.  This has caused a curse which is slowly spreading to all the islands, and reaches the island of Moana.  Moana is the chief's daughter, and destined to become chief.  Her father (Temeura Morrison) does not like anyone to go beyond the safety of the reef.  However the ocean is calling Moana, and her grandmother (Rachel House) knows of the need for a quest, and that Moana has been chosen.  There is plenty of action, a battle against coconut pirates, and a visit to the monsters below, all to fulfill the quest.  There are even a couple twists at the end, one when they give up, and when when they have to return the heart.  Great fun!  Plenty of Polynesian dance and culture, and the music is also right on.
