The first episode of The Book of Boba Fett arrived on Disney+ this morning, but with no screeners offered to critics in advance, we're only just now getting the show's Rotten Tomatoes score.
Only verdicts for "Stranger In A Strange Land" have obviously been counted thus far, but with 26 in - including our own - the latest live-action Star Wars series currently has a healthy 85%. That's not a bad result for an opening chapter that felt more like a prologue than anything else, and a final score for the series won't be revealed until all seven episodes have arrived on the streaming service.
"'Stranger in a Strange Land; could use more propulsion to properly open The Book of Boba Fett, but its lean summary of the bounty hunter's history provides some clarity without diminishing his mystique," reads the current Critics Consensus for this episode of the show.
"Boba Fett is back, better, and cooler than ever, and while the premiere is slow to reveal where the show is taking us, Temuera Morrison's intense, gripping work offers hope for a series that will take this story 40 years in the making to the heights it deserves," we said in our review of the premiere.
For a series like this one, reviews are unlikely to matter as Star Wars fans aren't going to miss the iconic bounty hunter's first solo adventure. Still, it's definitely interesting to see how critics are responding.
