Who would have thought that spending most of your show with your main character wandering aimlessly in the desert, and most of the rest of it being spent with a character from a much better show, would make for a really shitty unfocused story with no stakes or interesting characters? They didn't even try, man. They spend millions on these things and they didn't even try.

They try and build it up like he's protecting people he's come to know and respect but literally everyone he builds a relationship with dies except for the Cyberpunk kids. Maybe they should have spent time developing the people instead of doing, idk, an episode of Pimp My Ride with the Mandalorian????

At least the Mandalorian had a fun adventure vibe to it, but BoBF is just watching a fat old man fail miserably at being a crime lord. He's all like "don't worry about the other gangs, I made a deal where they pinky promised not to double-cross me and side with the guys who they directly told me have made them incredibly wealthy". DUMBASS! I could run a better crime syndicate.

    The pyke syndicate are a stand in for the Chinese, they fit to the racist westerner's stereotype of Chinese people, slanted eyes, diminutive stature, exotic, flowing robes, high-technology. Its a sign of the times, the fear of China's steady physical and economic encroachment into western territories mirroring the pyke syndicate's encroachment into the economy of tatooine. This is probably reaching tho lmao

    The fucking show sucked too, the action made no sense whatsoever, no tactical awareness displayed on either side in any fight that went on for more than 2 minutes. It was all nostalgia bait and self referential slop, as expected of a neoliberal economy.
