The narrow divide between genius and stupidity is success. That said, Boba is trying to form a core world in the outer rim. That is commendable, and frankly, the only reason is hadn't happened yet was the outer rim was the first to be razed in galactic conquests, and during times of relative peace, Hut rule destablised any attempts at unification. Boba has a solid chance at an empire, IF he can avoid assassination.

Rule by fear is much easier to establish than respect. But it’s also fragile. Any moment of weakness and those you rule will overthrow you. Rule through respect and those below you can forgive a few mistakes or moments of weakness, so long as they are not perceived as intentional or overly cruel.

Asking the others to remain neutral is likely the best offer he could have made them. From a psychological standpoint he's made a request that was below what they where likely expecting (I'd say they where all expecting the good old "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" speech) so they think they're just been handed a bargin and he's likely planted the idea that no matter who wins they will be weakened and they'll be in a perfect position to haggle more favourable terms once the dust settles (they certainly won't want a fight, especialy if the winner actual absorbs forces from the loser but after any war there is often a scramble to consolidate forces and secure territory so that would likely let them negotiate from a better position in the uncertainly)

The metaspeak is also important, the way he said it presented he trusted them as much as they trust him, which is little, and by staying out of the way they are not making enemies of Boba fett if he wins. This is important because your typical crime boss will force everyone to take sides and face the consequences. Usually leads to instant conflict and back stabbery because as soon as the strongman weakens their lackeys, who are often coerced into service easily turns on them.

I actually love the way Boba is ruling. It reminds me of a lot of Vito Corleone from the Godfather. Because of Vito prefers to have people work for them out of their own free will and not out of fear. And true loyalty is more powerful than when you have people working for you because they’re afraid you’ll kill them.

Becoming this universe version of "Godfather" is the first step. His time with the Tusken made him stronger both physically and menially. His philosophy of a tribe.

Yeah it's ridiculous to think that such a formidable fighter with decades of notable events behind him would feel the need to beat his status into every individual head he encounters. Of course he has the reputation to convert neutral but potentially rival players into allies, if he makes it his priority. And of course hunters and outlaws of lesser reputation or combat specialization would generally welcome the chance to join into a respectful partnership with someone of Fett's stature. It is some of the best worldbuilding and character development of any Star Wars story in my lifetime.

Am just a simple man who's trying to make his way through out the Galaxy like my father before me

I thought it was weird how he was acting at first until I saw his time with the Tuskens. He got to be part of tribe for the first time and had decided to start his own.

The scene at the end of episode 4 where he secures the families neutrality, he shows his power famous lieutenants like chrysanthemum and fennec and also instills fear by making them eat above his rancor pit. They knew that after their threat he could just as well have sent them all down to die. He doesn't need to scream I am the king. He will prove to them why they will want him to be king.

Fett is definitely playing the long game, respect sets you up for a longer rule. Creating fear among the people you rule can create rebellions and the want for a new leadership.

Boba, like his dad, has always been the shoot first, ask questions later or never type. It ain't until his days with the Sand people that he learned what it's actually like to have a family. He knew how to lead a squad at best, & even that, he's doing it like just a boss. This time around, he wants to actually rule like he's the head of a family instead of that of an army, & if you wanna do something like that, you CAN'T just kick down doors & shoot people just because they don't like you or you don't like them. Furthermore, it's also clear that he never once saw himself being at such a position before in life, & that means for someone like him who's always just doing his job shooting people, has trouble grasping the line of when to shoot people & when to talk.

Been saying this for a while now! Boba's approach is opening up doors for him that a typical crimelord would never have. Constantly contending with rivals and the risk of betrayal is a business cost -- by offering loyalty, and encouraging it in return, he reduces this cost and sets himself up for future gains. Moreover, his approach ensures he will eventually know where he stands with the other power players on Tattooine -- those unwilling to work with him once he's successful through respect will eventually be enemies no matter what, so he'll have them isolated and clearly in his crosshairs.

When I watched BoBF for the first time, I always had that inkling that was somewhere on the line of "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness" sort of feeling from Boba. Of course, I still think he talks too much, but the way he's intending to rule is VERY similar to what former Mobsters say their hierarchy worked. For example, if the Mob needed to whack someone, they didn't hire a hitman to do it for them, they simply ask one of their own and they'd do it out of respect. No rewards, besides earning their own kind of respect for a job well done....IF it was done well. That respect alone would allow them certain privileges that can't be bought or safely taken, only earned and given.

I don’t think honor was a thing to the Mandalorians for most of their time. Sure the Mandalorian Jedi with the Darksaber kept the Mandalorians in check after their crusades, but with the exception of the True Mandalorians, the Mandalorian Protectors, and the Mandalorian rebels from both of the civil wars in the Clone Wars and Rebels, I feel that Mandalorians on the most part don’t care about honor and just want to focus on conquest and the kill. No offense to Sabine since her clan is a part of them, but most of House Viszla with the exception of the Mandalorian Jedi, Clan Wren, and the Nite Owls are just vicious. Guys like Bo-Katan, Din Djarin, Sabine, Boba, and Jango seem to be in a minority for Mandalorian society.

I don't mind Boba's strategy of ruling with respect, i actually agree that it's a very good strategy. I only wish to see him kick more ass like he did in The Mandalorian Season 2, he seems far less skilled in this series while Fennec and his henchmen do most of the heavy job for him.

Great analysis. I agree with your take on Boba. Maybe all the critics that are saying he's weak will figure out his character is getting more evolved, becoming a richer, more complex character. Boba will always retain the skills of a bad ass bounty hunter, but he's gotten wiser, & smarter. He's no push over, he'll take care of business when he has to. Shooting at everything that moves is easy, but making friends from enemies is harder. Eliminating the biker gang shows that he can be ruthless. Favreau, & Filoni are amazing writers.

You’re quickly becoming my favorite Star Wars channel. I personally believe the message of Star Wars has always been that ruling with an iron fist is counter productive. 10/10 times people will choose a leader who support their personal interests over a tyrant.

Even the most deceiving episode of them all (episode 5) was really all about Boba! It’s clear as day who should lead Manda’lore

Honestly ruling with fear makes people get more sloppy because they're afraid to mess up, it also creates a reason for the to defect or try to kill you. But if you lead with respect they'll usually follow you into hell because you ain't telling them to go, you're leading them.

Fan boys make no sense. After all the shit Boba been through they expect him to be THE SAME as he was before. ALL YOU'RE SAYING IS SO OBVIOUS, It shouldn't be hard to figure out.

Like Star Wars theory complaining that bobba needs to be violent and as always when he forgets about character development and characters change

You are absolutely right. Everything Boba has been doing since he escaped the sarlaac has made perfect sense to me. It's a shame that so many see a "weak" Boba "watered down by Disney" instead of the older, wiser Boba that I see. He wants to build trust and have people be loyal to him, rather than fear him, which will lead to resentment, others challenging his rule, conflict and death. If Boba's way of running the crime family helps them put money in their pockets, they're less likely to oppose him, or try to to take him out.

I would add that Boba more or less lived in jango fett's shadow. so much expactation of him being ruthless necessary, simply by wearing the fett name. now that the empire is gone, Jabba is gone, and all those who could keep a sort of hold on him for that general expectation towards him, he is for the first time able to choose his own path. for any man that would be a big deal. especially someone with boba's background. he has no superiors now. he can choose things. and that must be the most refreshing and satisfying thing for him.

He deserves more respect!

Finally a channel that understands that Boba's change is actually logical and brilliant because of failure of others

Hasn't quite lived up ??? Look what he did on tython with and w/o his armor and what he did to the nicto bikers once he got back slave 1. He's still there , he's just grown.

If cultivation manhua/webnovels have protagonists who acted more like Boba Fett, they will have less enemies and may even gain respects who might oppose them even. But no, those authors are all about "the protagonists are being super OP and making them always looked arrogant and can bash, kill, plunder and have many women as many as they wanted because they wanted to" or something like that.

100% agree with this video. Finally someone said it! Ruling through fear and punishment gets you nowhere and it's a sure way to run business into the ground. As a real life parallel I've used a lot of similar ideology to build my business. I own a powerlifting gym and I've always empathized with community. Being welcoming instead of intimidating, always personally greeting people rather than running business from home, and always giving back so we all benefit as a gym, not just myself. By creating a community where everything is a win win then everyone helps take care of the gym. In fact we don't have staff and everyone pitches in to make sure the gym stays special. We always treat people with respect and don't shame or punish people. Always giving the benefit of the doubt but also putting down order when it comes to it. "This is the way" and I can't wait to see the empire he builds!

He’s also willing to use a little bit of fear to supplement his more loyalty driven strategy, but he doesn’t use it constantly, only when it will have the greatest impact. For instance, the dinner scene with the mob families when they question why they should just kill him and take his territory, the rancor (likely recognizing the threat to its master) says hello and waves

When he let wookie that tried killing him go I knew his plan if you rule by fear then the people you rule will turn on you when you get weak when you slip up but if you rule by trust and loyalty people will stay by you even during the darker times. BTW I made this comment before watching the video

Great video! The critics are right that Boba doesn't live up to his old reputation as a merciless, cold-blooded killer. I agree that this is the point. New times and a new situation call for a new approach. The old Boba only inspired fear and would have failed as a leader.

I really liked this aspect of The Book of Boba Fett, and it's why I hope there's a second season. Fett is doing on a local scale exactly what Thrawn did on a larger scale in Legends with his Empire of the Hand. It would have been cool to see the two of them discuss their tactics (and art).

Thanks was looking for a tutorial it is just what I needed .

We need more people like Boba Fett IRL, a higher up that is smart and respectful.

In may cases governments like the Galactic empire benefit greatly from the violence around them and ultimately need to create it, he violence justify their own abuses and over reaches. For the hive of scum and villainy the Empire was the best thing for them as their action benefited the government in justification for their own actions that they were effectively allowed to run amuck. But for governments like the New Republic this kind of violence and lawlessness undermines their authority. The Republic has an interests in making things, or at least making it look like, are rather peaceful and safe. Action like what Boba use to do and what Djarin was up to can attract their attention, then theirs the risk that what you did was significant enough to warrant actual action. The hutts' have the advantage of having a safe haven like Hutt space to run back to if anything goes really wrong, exactly like the twins did, but Boba dose not have that advantage. He runs he loose everything he worked for, if he even can run at all like Djarin learned.

Respect. Fear works for only so long.

Machiavelli said it is better for a ruler to only be feared than only be loved (if the choice is one or the other), but he also still said that the best outcome is for a ruler is to be simultaneously feared and loved. Boba Fett seems to be trying to do both. It's a more difficult path (something Machiavelli also pointed out and why he advocated for the fear only approach in "The Prince"), but if successful it can be worth it.

Fear can only rule people for so long. There’s an old saying, “a throne made of knives can’t be sat on for long.” People are united more by what they value than what they fear.

Boba Fett: I'm tired of idiots killing us Also Boba Fett: Drives Slave 1 into Sarlacc

It is better to be feared _and_ respected rather than one or the other. Boba is feared because he is capable of much destruction, but is also respected for his ability to control his actions and find a better solution outside of violence. To be feared and respected ensures your control of the situation, both for you own men and the enemy.

another sun twu quote i feel applies is “To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.” Fett has yet to engage in open battle yet has mos eisley at least neautral against the pykes and has warded off the twins. I fully expect him to turn away the pykes aswell

I also believe that this is why everyone constantly has to save his ass. He can fight on his own but he is testing people's loyalty. A perfect example of this is when he grabbed his Gaffi stick instead his gear. With the gear he could easily have killed Black K. He wanted to grab his gear and shoot him, but he choose not to kill him because of exactly this.

Daimyo (great men) require samurai as retainers. He’s emulating an old system that was very effective.

At the end of the series, I can see Boba Fett ruling over Tatooine instead of a crime family since his leadership style fits that role better than a crime lord.

Video idea. Kashyyyk's Creatures. I don't believe you did that yet. It'd be a good video

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I 100% agree. Boba hasn't become soft, he has become smarter👍❤

*Fear is easier but Respect is more reliable*

This period of the galaxy seems like an era of change. The Hutts are not strong anymore and the Mandalorians need to reform. However the New Republic on the other hand doesn’t change. It stands against the wind instead of flowing with it. Infighting happens in the Senate again and while the New Republic Defense Force is sizeable, the Galactic Republic had the Judicials and the Jedi Order and still needed the Clone Army and Navy.

Wow! You get it! I completely agree with you. I love this show!

the image at 2:27 where did u get that? would love to have it as a screen saver

Well, he's doing what Liu Bei in Three Kingdoms seems to be doing when he got a land on his own.

I was really hoping we would get a "like a Bantha" meme in the intro.

Great video! 100% agree

If your people love you they will fight harder for you than if they fear u sure they will fight but not nearly as fiercely

Can't wait for the journal of master chief and the Bible of doom guy.

I feel like ruling with fear pits a target on your back

Nice vid

Machiavelli said. To rule by love is good. To rule by fear is second best. To rule your enemies by fear and your people by love is best.

When a ruler governs by fear and with an iron fist sooner or later people will rise against him, but if a ruler governs by with honesty and dignity people will forever love him, Boba is a freaking genius

I love how my favorite star wars character acts as i would, gets the job done, but has a heart.

I would role with respect as that could allow for more trustworthy allies an like u said geetlys boba would give this life for those who work with or for him an they would do the same for him. Now if u role by fear which I wouldn't personally has a limit like dry spaghetti will snap under to much pressure but that's my opinion. This was one question I answer wholeheartedly an honestly. I love the content an have a good day geetlys

He will rule like a bantha in a polynesian spa.

Honestly, I think most of the badmouthing Boba is getting is more about his general incompetence and weird decision making, like ramming his ship into the mouth of the sarlacc and then reprimending Fennec for saving his life, apparently he himself forgot his ship had some bombs built in. I think the criticism of his strategy of ruling by respect just comes out of how much of a disappointment he is when it comes to fighting and generally not defending his interests properly if Fennec isn't around to move things forward.

In the words of sun tzu (More or less). Refused your followers like your children. Look upon them as though they are your own beloved sons and daughters and they will follow you even to there deaths. Boba is treating them like his kith and kin. And they in fern are beginning to look upon him as there beloved leader and mentor. That is why they follow him.

An Empire for soldiers from soldiers. Is Boba the Big Boss?

Good idea

Alpha class ARCs: Legendary Boba when he sees them: Careful, princess.
