The Star Wars fandom is back at it again, folks. The Book of Boba Fett is currently approaching the midpoint of its first season, but fans can’t seem to stop finding things to bitch about. However, the latest episode of the series, titled “The Streets of Mos Espa,” took this to a whole new level. In the third episode of the Disney + series, a new group of characters was introduced that has somehow managed to become, “controversial.”
Naturally, fans took to Twitter to discuss some of the more cringe-worthy and hilarious design aesthetics of these particular characters in the latest episode of The Book of Boba Fett. What started as playful commentary quickly spiraled out of hand as soon as The Last Jedi trolls started coming out of the woodwork:

The Book of Boba Fett started out strong but this 3rd episode was terrible. You got the squad of power rangers flying on vespas lol

It’s true that the sequence in question feels pulled straight from Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. Sure, the bright colors stand out against the harsh desert landscape. At the same time, you’d have to be woefully ignorant to think that the design itself isn’t something George Lucas would absolutely cream his jeans over. This begs the question – have these “fans” even watched Star Wars? Based on the reactions to the tweet, apparently not.
In a nutshell, it’s pretty much the most George Lucas thing ever and he would be proud of director Robert Rodriguez. Nevertheless, the reaction that ensued is perhaps the most divided the Star Wars fandom has been since The Rise of Skywalker. That’s when the roast began. God be with them.
You leave my Space Vespas alone!

These guys look out of place in Tatooine (I think thats the point) but they would fit perfectly in Coruscant. Thats one of the good things about telling stories with characters from thousands of worlds. You don’t have to like it, but that doesn’t make it wrong https://t.co/pyPQKYKRGp

One of the worst things about modern fan discourse is how cinematically illiterate it is. https://t.co/7H7oq3xGIt

seems tbh elitist to expect something in Star Wars to resemble Star Wars in any way beyond a franchise connection used for corporate marketing
real fans primarily accept all new content as an absolute extension of the original's identity and never think loud enough to hear https://t.co/xMCgxWRsbU

It’s amazing that, in a fictitious universe that takes inspiration from the 1950s and generally centers around space wizard samurai, some folks don’t like that they took inspiration from the 1950s and gave some vehicles paint jobs. https://t.co/8pWS1gekAV
