History YMMV / TheBookOfBobaFett

* TransAudienceInterpretation: One of Garsa Fwip's attendants in Chapter 1 is a Twi'lek man that appears to have ear cones -- a trait that is usually [[BizarreSexualDimorphism exclusive to female Twi'leks]], whereas male Twi'leks usually have humanlike ears -- underneath his headcover. While this could just as easily be a costuming or continuity error, others point to the fact that Twi'lek costuming has been consistent thus far on this matter in this era of Star Wars, and consider this Twi'lek to actually be a transgender man, intersex, or non-binary.

** Whether the Mandalorian and Grogu should have been included in the series or not. Their episodes are generally considered the best of the series; however this series it is called ''The Book of '''Boba Fett'''''. As such there are some who feel that the focus should have remained on Boba Fett, which would have given more time and attention to develop his crew and conflict with the Pykes. Instead they all end up sidelined by what is essentially ''The Mandalorian'' Season 2.5, which also creates a ContinuityLockout for ''Mandalorian'' fans as they will now be forced to watch ''Book of Boba Fett'' in order to see the reunion of Mando and Grogu. Another camp believes they would've felt fine with Mando appearing in ''Boba Fett'' if he and Grogu didn't steal Boba's spotlight so often, and remained separated until ''The Mandalorian'' Season 3, especially since some of the stories ultimately chosen for the latter don't give the clan much focus or character development.

* HarsherInHindsight: Any instance of this show freezing Boba Fett's arc to set up the chance of Din Djarin [[ReluctantRuler reluctantly ruling Mandalore]] feels even more awkward after ''Series/TheMandalorian'' Season 3 repeatedly let other characters steal the spotlight from Din and Grogu, in [[SeasonalRot episodes less-acclaimed than "Return of the Mandalorian"]]. Also, [[spoiler:Din never takes over Mandalore, after losing the Darksaber.]]

* SoOkayItsAverage: How critics and fans feel about the show. While they liked the production values and performances, they felt that the narrative structure was too slow-paced, Boba's storyline wasn't fully developed and some of the set pieces were a bit clumsily executed. The RequiredSpinoffCrossover with ''The Mandalorian'' was interesting but also left the main plot of ''Boba Fett'' OutOfFocus. Even today it remains the ''Star Wars'' franchise's most critically-panned live-action TV show, and the fandom's least favorite such show from the New Republic era.

* SophomoreSlump: The second live-action ''Star Wars'' TV show remained the least-critically-acclaimed one by the time ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'' finished airing the first season. Most fans of the franchise would at least call it the worst live-action show set after the Original Trilogy.

** In theory, [[spoiler:Ahsoka Tano meeting Luke Skywalker should be an absolutely pivotal moment, considering Luke is eager to learn more about his father and how to run a Jedi order and Ahsoka has a lot to share with her old master’s son about her perspective on the prior Jedi after they failed her. Instead, their first meeting is offscreen, and their only conversation boils down to a few generic aphorisms before saying goodbye. It doesn’t help that Luke is voiced by an AI, rendering its speech even more lifeless and uninspired than the writing already does, or that their meeting takes place in an episode of a show not about them.]]

** Viewers and advertisers who would rather choose a scene with Boba Fett often pick him shooting the Kintan Striders in his reclaimed Starship.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Many reviews of the series complain about it being yet another piece of ''Star Wars'' media set on Tatooine, and wish that the franchise would branch out and explore other planets in its vast galaxy instead.

* ToughActToFollow: When it comes to the canon adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu after ''Series/TheMandalorian'' Season 2, fans generally ended up preferring their appearances in this show to Season 3, released about 13 months later. While both Jon Favreau-penned storylines revolve around Din helping out another practitioner of Mandalorian culture, rather than embarking on his own adventures, ''Boba Fett'' ironically delivers deeper exploration at the evolution of the Djarin clan.

* DawsonCasting: At the time of filming, Temura Morrison was in his late 50s/early 60s, about 20 years older than Boba Fett would be in the time period the series is set in.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The retro-50s aesthetics of the cyborg speeder gang were criticized by fans for looking very garish and tonally inconsistent with Star Wars' aesthetic. That said, these bikes had previously seen in the prequel trilogy, specifically in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' with Dex's Diner and Anakin's speeder, which themselves took their original influence from Creator/GeorgeLucas' ''Film/AmericanGraffiti''. The multi-armed kitchen droid in Chapter 4 was also first seen in ''Attack of the Clones'' as part of Dex's establishment.
