#TheMandalorian I literally "oh fuck"ed at the sight of... the thing... coming in from the sky

Well its almost certainly about agency and not being vulnerable. Super appealing to 10 year old boys. My point was about how after Empire we imagined Boba Fett would be a major player and then he was just... nothing.

For me it's not seeing him be badass. But rather, the character was always portrayed *as* badass, and to quote Ebert's review of KING KONG (2005): "It is like the flowering of all the possibilities in the original classic film."
-
I do love the flowering of creative possibilities, which is at *least* half the appeal of this show for me.

Because his costume is cool & there's a portion of the fanbase that thinks Star Wars is supposed to be a badass power fantasy (largely thanks to the old EU, especially some video games). Hence why you'll find lots of fans still raving about the Vader hallway scene in RO.
-
This is despite the fact that, IMO, most of the movies kind of crap on the idea of the traditional, hyper-competent, manly-man badass.

This question is interesting re: Star Wars, because Lucas has a total indifference to “cool powerful man” characters. He spends five of his six film deconstructing Vader into a sad possessive soul, and he unceremoniously offs Jango AND Boba AND Maul.
-
Interesting too how non-Lucas material brings Maul back to life and brings Boba back to life (first EU, now LF), and jams Vader into Rogue One do fans can lose their minds over him being scary and badass again.

Decisiveness. Rarely if ever are badasses wishy-washy, can’t make up their mind types. Moral code. Even antagonists like Mad-Dog in HARD BOILED have one. Perseverance. Tied up & pummeled? Cinematic equivalent of a rough day; it’s the response that matters.
