Talk:The Book of Boba Fett

Book of Boba Fett confirmed to have wrapped filming

Ming Na-Wen has confirmed on Twitter that The Book of Boba Fett has completed filming with the hashtag #wrapgift: https://twitter.com/MingNa/status/1402290182779375618?s=20

I hope we can add this information into the show's wiki page.

And, this is not the first time Ming Na-Wen has said filming on The Book of Boba Fett has wrapped. She also said filming on the series wrapped earlier last week during an interview on a 501st Legion Fan Charity Livestream at around 6 hours and 56 minutes in: https://twitter.com/501stLegion/status/1401480174126858243?s=20.

Release date source

RossButsy Please stop changing a valid third party source to the primary StarWars.com one. Absolutely no reason to be doing this, and you are now edit-warring. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:57, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

“Primary” “Third party” I mean you’ve just proven my point. My edits are completely righteous. RossButsy (talk) 15:02, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

How so? Please familiarize yourself with WP:PSTS, WP:INDEPENDENT, and Wikipedia:Identifying and using self-published works as you seem to be uninformed regarding this. StarWars.com is a self-published/primary source, and should generally be avoided to cite material in Star Wars-related articles when independent, reliable, third-party sources (such as the trades: Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline) present the same information. That is the case here, and your actions are viewed as being disruptive in addition to edit warring. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:20, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

You’re not worth my time. RossButsy (talk) 15:41, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

You wasted the time of three editors with your disruptive editing. You don't get to be huffy about whether your time is worth the discussion. Rusted AutoParts 20:25, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

See also

I believe some aspects will be taken from Tales from Jabba's Palace and Tales of the Bounty Hunters, so I am not sure if we should be including a see also to those, or some kind of note to those two books. Govvy (talk) 10:10, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

If there are reliable sources now or once episodes release that definitely connect those to what occurs in the series (not just speculate), then yeah, sounds like a good idea to add them as See Alsos if they aren't integrated into the actual article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:16, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Cinemotagrapher

Please add David Klein as one of the two cinematographers that photographed this project. Klein shot 5 of 7 episodes and Cundey shot 2. I can put you in touch with them personally or their representatives if necessary. Thank you.

This does not require an administrator.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:17, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

You are literally asking a mod to add in information you refuse to provide a source for? That’s seriously all you need to do: link a non-IMDB reliable source. Stop coming back after a certain amount of time to put Klein back in unsourced, stop asking mods to do it for you, source it. Rusted AutoParts 01:09, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Right on. Understood, thank you and info is much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dakafett (talk • contribs) 08:26, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

The Lead

I think the lead should be changed to this and i am open to discussion.

The Book of Boba Fett is an American space Western television series created by Jon Favreau for the streaming service Disney+. It is part of the Star Wars franchise and is a spin-off from the series The Mandalorian. It stars Temuera Morrison as the title character and Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand, with both actors reprising their roles from The Mandalorian and other Star Wars media. It takes place after the events of Return of the Jedi and exists alongside the other series The Mandalorian and Ahsoka.

Several attempts were made at developing a standalone Star Wars film centered on Boba Fett before Lucasfilm began prioritizing its streaming series such as The Mandalorian. A potential spin-off series was first reported in November 2020 and was officially announced in December. Filming had begun by that point, and lasted until June 2021. It premiered on December 29, 2021, and will run for seven episodes until February 9, 2022.

There should be no citation in the lead unless it is a quote. (WP:LEADCITE) This article only needs two paragraphs because it is fewer than 15,000 charaters. (WP:LEADLENGTH)

Also I think this sentence, It stars Temuera Morrison as the title character and Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand, with both reprising their roles from The Mandalorian and other Star Wars media. Can be changed to, It stars Temuera Morrison as the title character Boba Fett, who is a bounty hunter and crime lord, and Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand, who is an elite mercenary and assassin, with both reprising their roles from The Mandalorian and other Star Wars media. But that seem a bit clunky. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 02:20, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

We can vote on it. Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 02:20, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

You need to give an explanation for why you want to make the changes, and we don't tend to have voting like that unless there is a clear proposal or set of options (and even then there is usually a discussion first). If you have an issue with the current lead format (which is pretty standard for TV articles) then please raise those specific issues here and allow an actual discussion to take place. - adamstom97 (talk) 05:54, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

@Adamstom.97: Gotcha, and the reason is because I think it looks better like that because some of the sentences in the lead look clunky like this one “It is part of the Star Wars franchise, taking place after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983), and is a spin-off from the series The Mandalorian featuring the crime lord and bounty hunter Boba Fett from that series and other Star Wars media.“ The lead I want to change it to really doesn’t change it that much either. But we don’t have to do it I’m just throwing a suggestion out there. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 13:02, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

The Book of Boba Fett poster

Can I upload an image of the actual poster ore is there a reason we are specifically using the logo. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 14:00, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

It is pretty standard practice for TV series articles to use the logo. If we get multiple seasons of this series and make individual season articles we can use the poster then. You can see an example of this with the Mandalorian articles. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

@Adamstom.97:Thanks for the response. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 00:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

A photograph of the poster at an off angel can be consider fair use, but I think there is still a grey area there. Govvy (talk) 17:29, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

@Govvy: I’m confused by what you said. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 17:50, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

If took a photo like the one in the info box on the Piccadilly Circus, of the poster, fair use. etc. Govvy (talk) 18:40, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Black Krrasantan

Pretty sure Black Krrasantan isn't confirmed to be the Wookie bounty hunter, even with the fan speculation likely pointing to it being him. That being said, should we keep Black Krrasantan in the recap of the episode and add him to the cast and characters list(even if we don't know the actor), or should we remove him from the article until we get confirmation it's him in a future announcement or episode? JDA 78 (talk) 18:05, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

When I was putting in information for the reception on the second episode I saw a bunch of reliable sources say it was him. So I say keep it. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 19:25, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Here is one from Polygon. I know there are others too. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 19:29, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Just found a confirmed source for Krrasantan https://tvline.com/2022/01/06/book-of-boba-fett-video-temuera-morrison-ming-na-wen-hutts-krrsantan-wookiee/. Safe to say we add him even though we may not know the actor JDA 78 (talk) 16:02, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Tusken Cast

The cast should include the Tusken Cheftain (Xavier Jimenez), Tusken Warrior (Joanna Bennett), and Tusken Kid (Wesley Kimmel). Considering their role, much bigger than others listed as "Cast".

@JDA 78: Is their a reliable source to back this up? ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 03:53, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

@Kaleeb18: The episode credits, I believe. Loqiical (talk) 07:45, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

@Loqiical: Can you use end scene credits as a source? ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 13:08, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

It's clear to add in, go for it. Admenwino (talk) 03:42, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Error

It says Cite error: A list-defined reference named "EpisodeReleaseWeekly" is not used in the content (see the help page). But I can not find a reference of that name can someone help? ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 15:22, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

It was in "Release" and it's been restored. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:46, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Krrasanten

Are we going to say Black Krrsantan or just Krrsantan cause it seems to be getting changed constantly. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 17:27, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Krrsantan as that's he's been named in the series by others. Should someone name him "Black Krrsantan" we shall adjust. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:10, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Alright cool, I just keep seeing people change it. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 14:38, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

For the first mention, we say Black Krrsantan (full name, as we do with other characters). Afterwards, we can just say Krrsantan. We don't say Boba Fett every time - we can just refer to him as Fett. Loqiical (talk) 05:44, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

No, you wouldn't say "Black Krrsantan" in a first instance, as he never been called such in this series as explained. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 19:10, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

I don't think that 8D8 has been called 8D8 either. Loqiical (talk) 07:44, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

The reference (UPI.com) does start by calling him "Black Krrsantan" though and Krrsantan thereafter. As we saw before with "Baby Yoda" the official name is not the only thing and what the audience actually call the character matters too. Conversely StarWars.com seems to be actively making an effort to call him only Krrsantan. -- 109.79.69.44 (talk) 13:51, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

The Baby Yoda/Grogu comparison is a poor one, as we aren't completely deviating from the character's name. Within the series he's only known as Krrsantan. It would be the same thing if Anakin Skywalker made an appearance but not Darth Vader. We wouldn't be saying Darth Vader appeared. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:12, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Agree with Favre1fan93 and others, and would like to add that even the suggestion that it be changed to mention color is pretty...icky. NOT FUCKING ONCE was there an argument/discussion as to whether we should call the only other Wookie with a notable role in Star Wars 'Brown Chewbacca' or one of the characters White 'Luke Skywalker'. If anything, this discussion really informs the rest of us how very, very ugly some 'SW' fans are, despite their protestations to the contrary. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 17:44, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

@Jack Sebastian: Yo chill, people are just asking because in the comics and everywhere else they are calling him Black Krrsantan as that is his full name. Like we don’t call Chewy brown Chewy because that is not his full name. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 20:02, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Can you point out where in the episode he was called that? I think there is more than enough citable evidence that SW is pretty caucasian, where humans are concerned. And the fans? Don't even get me started. If we can avoid that ugly, ugly shit here in this article, we'd be better for it. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 09:58, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

I never said that’s what they call him in an episode. Also why you so worried about what the people’s race is in the show like it’s just a show. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 12:57, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

I (edit: the IP 109 above) was merely pointing out that it was strange to use a reference that does use the full name from the comics "Black Krrsantan" to make the point that the show so far has only called him Krrsantan. It would be better to use a different reference. (Also I conscientiously resisted the urge to make any jokes about the character name, even though I was really wanted to, so the unprovoked WP: UNCIVIL response anyway was priceless.) -- 109.79.172.124 (talk) 00:16, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

is this Jack Sebastian's IP? ― [[User:Kaleeb18|Kaleeb18]^Talk_Caleb 00:43, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

No, it isn't. It would appear to be originating in County Kildare, Ireland. I'm not there. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 02:48, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm the same IP that commented earlier, I'm surprised at all the confusion. That kind of language is never appropriate. I would complain about the earlier verbal attack if it was not all so absurd. -- 109.79.172.124 (talk) 03:06, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

This is getting off topic. He is called "Black Krrsantan" in the comics that introduced the character so no one is being racist by asking whether we should use it. But they so far have just been saying "Krrsantan" in the series so that is what we are sticking with in the article. No need to continue this unless the series uses the full name in the next episode. - adamstom97 (talk) 18:36, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Music

The playlist for 1-4 credits tracks 1-17 to Goransson and 1-16 to Shirley, so this doesn't align with what the article currently says. Loqiical (talk) 07:42, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

The article aligns with the reliable sources. - adamstom97 (talk) 08:22, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

The soundtrack itself isn't reliable? Loqiical (talk) 23:55, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Reception

Should we keep the reception as a review of every episode like we are doing or should we change the reception to about the series as a whole? Or should we wait till the series is finished to change the reception from every episode review to as the series as a whole or not change it? ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 15:32, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

The reception here should be on it as a whole. So it's a fine line currently given we don't have "overall" reviews, but we should be removing the individual episode reviews, yes. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:47, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Gotcha and thanks. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 17:02, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Can we agree on that the reception was overall positive? Fresh on rotten tomatoes and 7,7 on imdb imo does not count as a mixed reception even if we take into consideration of metacritic with only 19 reviews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.69.198.135 (talk) 22:57, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

"mixed or average reviews" -- this is literally in the reception section. - adamstom97 (talk) 04:08, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

I will also add that you can see everyone has a different opinion about the show. Like one critic said the train heist scene was cool while some one else said it sucked. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 12:32, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

i mean this sentence in at the top . "The series has received generally mixed reviews from critics". I would not base the opinion on 19 reviews but on those 145 from critics and 1767 from users. So lets make a deal and change the sentence that series received positive reception from critics but mixed reaction from the audiences, how about that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.69.198.135 (talk) 22:51, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Please note MOS:TVRECEPTION. Wikipedia relies on reliable sources. IMDB is not a reliable source. Wikipedia does not use WP:UGC user generated content, such as user voted web polls so again the audience votes are not allowed. We should not mention audience response unless and until we have reliable sources. Wikipedia does use critic scores and TV ratings.

It is not unreasonable to say the reviews were mixed since Metacritic directly says so. When the final episode airs I think it might be worth (re)considering if we are not giving too much weight to Metacritic and to perhaps consider that the much larger sample of reviews is more representative and that maybe we can say overall the reviews were "generally positive" but I do think it is better to wait and see. So I sort of half agree with anon IP 62, that we should give more emphasis to the RT score. (FWIW my personal opinion of the show is not good, but the sources seem to be much more positive.) -- 109.79.172.124 (talk) 23:51, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Once a wider sample of reviews are added to the article we will not need to solely rely on the aggregators. - adamstom97 (talk) 00:10, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Yes, like adam said when the show ends the rception area will be able to get a lot of work done to it. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 00:46, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

When it comes to TV shows the reviews aggregators are always front-loaded with reviews for the first episode, it can be quite misleading. Of the 19 reviews currently listed at Metacritic the dates on 18 of them mean they can only be reviews of the first episode. I'm surprised it didn't happen already but the rewrite will happen soon enough. -- 109.79.172.124 (talk) 03:26, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

ok i think we can wait till the end of the show, but like i said, metacritic is not as representative as the rottentomatoes with only 19 reviews or over hundred user reviews and i would say even 60% reviews count as postivie so it isn't mixed. My opinion on the show is rather positive based on the fact it expands the world of star wars, but this is my opinion only. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.69.198.135 (talk) 20:47, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

I would also side with the opinion that the series has an overall positive reception rather than mixed, we just have to wait untill the series end on 9th february then we can make some adjustments. Like the user before me pointed, metacritic score is not as representative as rotten tomatoes, but there is a one catch... do we base the score on single episodes or the whole score on that we see in the main section? it's up to discuss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.47.137.15 (talk) 19:52, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Is it just me or are the past two comments suspicious? WP:SOCK? ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 21:47, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

In what way? just becuase someone else wrote the same opinion like mine? :P i said im waiting for the last episode and then im open for conversation about chaning the opinion to positive — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.69.198.135 (talk) 21:58, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Also how is it not blatantly obvious it has received mixed review are y’all just not seeing these sentences in the reception? Rohan Nahaar of The Indian Express criticized it. Flint stated that the decision to kill off the Tuskens was an "obvious and lazy one". The cyborg gang was negatively compared to the Power Rangers and their scene of chasing the Twi'lek majordomo was criticized. there are also others.― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 22:02, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

No need to get angry my friend :) you got the right to disagree so do I. the thing you pointed out are just the elements of an episode that negatively affects it but not its entirety. Anyway let's wait and see the last episode! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.69.198.135 (talk) 22:16, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Just wanted to pop in here and say that aggregators like Metacritic are super useful when needing to, effectively, synthesize the consensus in "Reception" sections, since Wikipedia is reliant on reliable sources. Since you have Rotten Tomatoes saying one thing and Metacritic saying another, you could probably say something like "mixed-to-positive" reception, and then cite both aggregators.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 16:22, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I agree with calling the reception "mixed-to-positive". Rotten Tomatoes ended up at 68%, which isn't great, but better than "mixed". Additionally, per the RT graph, more episodes than not were well received. UpdateNerd (talk) 03:01, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

RT says 6.8/10 and MC says "mixed or average reviews", so "mixed" is more accurate than "mixed-to-positive" which is also a vague and unhelpful term that should be avoided. - adamstom97 (talk) 03:53, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Agreed, "mixed-to-positive" is vague, but maybe we could instead give an idea of how some of the individual episodes were received. Episode five got 100% from RT, while Ep. 3 & 7 were lows. Just saying "generally mixed" is about as vague as one could get, even if it's hard to summarize in brief. UpdateNerd (talk) 04:42, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

I mean we literally have a chart in reception for people to look at the rt scores. Also i think mixed is the perfect word. If you read the reception you can tell some people loved it and some people hated it. So that’s mixed reviews. I don’t know what else you could really put. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 12:51, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

I think it would help to add a couple of tidbits highlighting the gist of both the positive and negative feedback. E.g. Morrison's acting received praise, while the series' overall structure was criticized. UpdateNerd (talk) 16:28, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

I mean for the lead mixed reviews is a fine way to express that. If people want to know the positive or negative feedback they can just read the reception. I mean it also isnt horrible to do what ur saying. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 18:43, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

@Adamstom.97: The purpose of the lead is to summarize the body. If there's really an issue with the coverage in the reception section, it should be tagged there. Although assuming that there truly is such an insufficiency I won't try to restore the lead or anything until the section is "fixed". UpdateNerd (talk) 23:23, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't know if it needs to be tagged with anything if interested editors are wanting to work on it now. - adamstom97 (talk) 23:25, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

If you stated the problem, I might be interested in working on it. UpdateNerd (talk) 23:34, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

@UpdateNerd There inst really a problem with it. It just needs to be copy edited and expanded on because of the coverage it got. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 23:36, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

By my count we are only using 11 reviews and RT has almost 200 so there is plenty of room to expand and get better coverage, then we will have a clearer idea of what the lead summary should be. - adamstom97 (talk) 23:37, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Oh, good points. I guess I was assuming it had been worked on more, but even from my own recent efforts I realized some things were miscited and so I'm sure there's more verifying & expanding to do. Best, UpdateNerd (talk) 23:39, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Indirect mention of Grogu

I think that the indirect mention of Grogu at the end of episode 5 is not explicit enough to be included here, in the same way in which Djarin is not included at the end of the episode 4 summary. Any thoughts? Loqiical (talk) 08:26, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

I say keep it as Grogu, because earlier in the episode when the Armorer is forging his beskar staff she ask him who it is too and he says Grogu. So it’s obvious he is going to visit Grogu. Whereas the situation in episode 4 you just hear music in the background indicating Shand saying “we need muscle” referring to Mando. But that’s just my thought process. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 14:52, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

I removed it before I was aware of this discussion; I think keeping it out until we explicitly see who he's visiting, prevents us from Sherlocking our way into mistakes. I don't need to point out how many times our deductions have been completely wrong - assuming the masked man in Superman and Lois was Doomsday, or that Gotham's Jeremiah was the Joker, as well as a lot of others - all because we were in some great hurry. I have no understanding about why we bother to hurry; we are an encyclopedia, not a fan forum, newspaper or blog site. I say, we slow the hell down until a RS explicitly says so or even - radical as this might sound - just wait for the next episode to air (crazy, right?) - Jack Sebastian (talk) 00:45, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I dont really think it matters if his name is in there or not. I was just stating my opinion. But I agree that we should wait just in case we are wrong. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 01:11, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

End date question

An invisible comment on this page says that saying that the show ended/putting an end date is OR, but this article itself states that the show ran until February 7. Which is more correct? wizzito | say hello! 03:34, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Well, the release section never said the series was over it just says the first season ran till Feb. 7. The infobox editors note is saying that there could be a second season. Disney has not said that they are done making episodes for the book of boba fett nor have they said that they are going to make more. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 04:17, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Per {{Infobox television}} instructions, |last_aired= can remain "present" for at least 12 months if no definitive fate is give for a series. Since it is currently ambiguous and unknown what Lucasfilm is going to do, it remains "present". - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:07, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Spin-off existence

@Adamstom.97: Sorry, I did not mean to edit war and thought my reasoning was explained in the edit summary (and I said "please ce my ce"). Where has it been established that this article's lead is the format for all spin-offs when it's the only one with its own article? UpdateNerd (talk) 02:27, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

There are drafts for the other spin-offs as well (Draft:Ahsoka (TV series) as well as Draft:Rangers of the New Republic though it is unlikely that the latter will make it to the mainspace). Any suggests to improve the wording are welcome, but we shouldn't lose the intended meaning of this which is to summarise the line Kennedy said those series exist within The Mandalorian's timeline and were planned to culminate in a "climactic story event". - adamstom97 (talk) 02:41, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

I see. I remember that quote, but didn't realize that's what the lead was attempting to summarize. Just saying another spin-off "exists" (even though it hasn't yet been released) doesn't help summarize the article. Since this series hasn't been announced to have a second season, it feels like WP:CRYSTALBALL to imply that a "climactic story event" will definitely happen—even more so since one of the planned series, as you point out, has been scrapped. In short, now that I understand your reasoning better, I think it's inappropriate (not just overly wordy) to include that line in the lead at this time. UpdateNerd (talk) 02:48, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

This series does not need any further seasons for there to be a "climactic story event", and to suggest that Kennedy's statement is out of date without are new source to support that idea is WP:OR. We should still probably say something even if the wording is tweaked. Favre1fan93 do you have any thoughts on this? - adamstom97 (talk) 23:11, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

That's funny, after my last comment I had the same thought. TBOBF climaxed with a Mandalorian crossover, part of which also showed Ahsoka. I don't think there will be more seasons of TBOBF since it's been called a miniseries. I'm still opposed to the line in question beyond a parenthetical mention, particularly until Ahsoka is released.

@Adamstom.97 and UpdateNerd: Sorry I haven't been really following (beyond readding something to the lead). What exactly is in question? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:00, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: To quickly fill you in, we're debating the mention of the sister spin-off series Ahsoka in the lead. While I initially wanted to remove it, after learning some things from my discussions with Adamstom.97, I have a further suggestion which explains the connection to the other series in more detail. I basically want it to better represent the body, which says the three series were planned to have a crossover event. I'm going to go ahead and implement a version, as explaining it here would be tedious. Feel free to copyedit. UpdateNerd (talk) 02:50, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

I think your change is fine. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:45, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: Oops, in my haste I tagged the wrong editor. Thanks adamstom97 for catching that. UpdateNerd (talk) 22:59, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Question. Do we know for a fact that The Book of Boba Fett is going to crossover with Asoka? I know its going to be along the same timeline, but are the show going to crossover? ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 23:01, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

We have a source saying that they will, and as UpdateNerd has pointed out Ahsoka has already literally appeared in this show. - adamstom97 (talk) 23:15, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Oh yeah lol I completely forgot about that. I don't know how someone can forget about that when they spends tones of time making article just about the characters ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 23:17, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Announcement in lead

@Adamstom.97: Saying the series was announced by Favreau without mentioning the Mando post-credits tease makes it seem like he announced it out of the blue. Sure the title tease wasn't 100% clear that TBOBF was going to be its own miniseries, but this is nuanced detail that can be found in the body of the article—it was the combined tease, along with Favreau's clarification and other reporting that altogether revealed the series' existence. Even if Favreau had announced it alone, I'm not sure identifying him in that regard is important enough to include in the lead (which omits more important details). UpdateNerd (talk) 00:05, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Sure, I don't disagree with that reasoning. - adamstom97 (talk) 00:49, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Episode articles

I just took a look at the episode articles for this show and was surprised how poor they are. They all just have the bare minimum details copy-and-pasted and are nowhere close to meeting the WP:NTVEP guidelines. I would have WP:BOLDly moved them to draftspace so they could be improved there, but considering there has clearly been no interest in meaningful work on these in the 2+ years since the show was released I think it is actually better to redirect them to this article and focus any future efforts on just improving this one. Thoughts? - adamstom97 (talk) 11:18, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

There's no good reason to have episode articles for any show unless there is a good amount of episode-specific production/reception information to support a separate article. This one doesn't meet the threshold. Any unique content should be merged into the main article and then redirected. ButlerBlog (talk) 11:39, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Editors were likely attracted by the "allure" of this being the next big pop culture series and the desire to need individual articles for each installment, yet didn't fully execute the articles to fulfill notability guidelines. Full support to redirect them. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:13, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

I have gone ahead and redirected the articles. Thanks all. - adamstom97 (talk) 09:44, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
