I Never Read The Series Until I Was An Adult, And The First Book Legitimately Made Me Cry! Knowing Jango

I never read the series until I was an adult, and the first book legitimately made me cry! Knowing Jango was going to die made it even worse. Here’s this kid who sees his dad as his entire world, and that world is ripped away from him in one instant at the start of a war he can’t possibly understand. It really makes you hate all the adults involved even more, especially people like Palpatine and Dooku, knowing that this tragedy will repeat itself many times over across the galaxy. And seeing how no one even gives a crap about this kid afterwards is especially heartbreaking.

(Mace is really cold-hearted about the whole thing in the Clone Wars series, telling Boba “You’ll just have to forgive me.” Not a sorry or anything. Granted, the kid had just tried to kill him, but damn, not an ounce of compassion or understanding. I respect him as a Jedi, but I can’t forgive his treatment of Boba. He demands understanding without showing it himself.)

i got a book about boba fett as a child at the library and it’s the worst decision i’ve ever made

Night on the Galactic Railroad

This anime adaptation of the classic Japanese children’s book by the same name is such an underrated gem. It gives me the same sense of wonder as a Studio Ghibli film, but has a slower, more melancholy note, full of liminal imagery and meditations on life and death. It’s one I rewatch periodically and makes me cry a little every time.
