Before we get into the review, I would like to warn you that this review HAS SPOILERS for The Book of Boba Fett show.

This show starts off with Boba Fett claiming Jabba The Hutt’s territory. He is trying to gain respect from people and we also see flashbacks of how he survived falling into the Sarlacc Pit. We also learn how he survived in Tatooine with the Tusken Raiders. I did enjoy learning more about the Tusken Raiders and seeing the world from their point of view. I also think that the Tusken Raiders were killed off too early in the show. We spent so much time in the first few episodes learning about them and then they were just killed off so the plot could move forward.

I would give The Book of Boba Fett 3 Mickey Bars. I did like this show, but not because of Boba Fett. Boba Fett was really boring and he barely did anything. I felt like most of the other characters in this show were more interesting then him. Also, once The Mandalorian was in the show I felt like it started becoming more about The Mandalorian and less about Boba Fett.
I was really happy to see Grogu and was totally not expecting to see him. My favorite episode was when The Mandalorian went on a mission to see Grogu and we get to see him training with Luke Skywalker.

I was shocked to see Cade Bane and I do not think he is dead. Why would they bring back such a big character and then kill him after two episodes?
If you are a Star Wars fan, I would recommend that you watch The Book of Boba Fett!
Olivia Rodrigo has a new documentary coming to Disney+ called Driving Home 2 U (A Sour Film). It will be about her debut album Sour.
The documentary was taken while Olivia Rodrigo was on a road trip from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. During this road trip, she started writing songs that are now on Sour.

Driving Home 2 U (A Sour Film) will be on Disney+ on March 25, 2022. I am really excited for this documentary because I am really curious to hear the backstory behind Sour.
Today we will be talking about Skipper Canteen and my experience there!
The full name of the restaurant is Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen, but everyone just calls it Skipper Canteen.
The inside of Skipper Canteen is made to look a lot like the Jungle Cruise ride.
I had the “Tastes like Chicken” Because it is! Spoiler alert: it does taste like chicken. This comes with sweet chili glaze, vegetables, and rice. The chicken was nice, crispy, and I liked the sweet chili glaze on it.
Al had Chef Tandaji’s Crispy Chicken from the kids menu. This comes with a choice of two sides. He chose fruit and vegetables. He thought his meal was pretty good.
My parents tried out the “Hardy Har Char” Siu Pork. It is a Char Siu-marinated pork with vegetables and jasmine rice. The rice is hard to see in this picture since it is hidden behind the vegetables.
Everybody liked their meals and I give Skipper Canteen 5 Mickey Bars!
