My Bounty After The Book of Boba Fett
A Tale of Star Wars, Fandom and a Cashing in on a 35-year old Bounty
With the Book of Boba Fett (BOBF) series ending and Star Wars fans being Star Wars fans, I recently questioned why I was a supporter of the science-fiction soap opera. I had no idea that the question would lead me to discover something priceless.
Why the Silly Space Soap?
Let’s admit that a soap set in space to sell toys sounds outright silly nowadays. Star Wars can be (and has been) a bit goofy. In one hand, you have bored, feudal nazi space samurai taking over a galaxy by force and in the other, a bored country-bumpkin who thinks he can stop progress because an old hobo in a cave is suddenly in need of a ride. But then you have drug dealers, criminal masterminds, bounty hunters and thieves peppered into a pot full of space battles, political intrigue, and religious infighting. The space saga captured my imagination at a young age and even now, I try to consume as much of the related content as i can. Especially when it comes to a certain bounty hunter donning those red, green, and gold colors (of Africa): Boba Fett.
