While I understand the wish to bring back original actors, there are definitely times when a younger voice actor can do a better acting job than an older actor trying to sound like their own younger self. I mean, there are plenty of games based on older franchises where less known (and probably much cheaper) voice actors sound pretty much just like you'd expect from the characters. Funnily enough, no actor at all was involved. The dialogue was all AI generated. www.slashfilm.com/758327/why-luke-skywalkers-voice-sounds-so-weird-in-the-book-of-boba-fett/

Given that even fan hobbyists are getting in on speech synthesis, it's not a surprise Hollywood's jumped on it:

All this does is make me realize even more how everything they did with Leia in Rise of Skywalker looked so bad.

I was gonna say that the voice felt right but like it was a video game clip (Like from a sports game). Like the dialogue was being delivered by a person 5000 miles away from any human interaction... And I guess that answers that.
The weird clunky delivery and how weird one of the fresh to live action characters looked were some of the only parts of the episode that were glaringly bad. Which is very good for Book of Boba Fett (lolololol) considering some of the first few episodes or so.

All this does is make me realize even more how everything they did with Leia in Rise of Skywalker looked so bad. That was because of the promise made and her family's wishes Disney promissed they wouldn't make Leia a CG character or fake her voice. And the family agreed, including Fisher's daughter, who was in the movie and was the body double for some scenes. And that was in the wake of CG Tarkin and CG young Leia being in Rogue One. When people were asking Disney not to do that after Fisher's death.

That was pretty satisfying. {Spoiler}We all knew we'd see Fett riding his rancor, but it was still a blast to see. It doesn't quite make up for how very little Fett was allowed to do previously, but I think it just about ties together the whole season. Plus he and Mando fighting side by side against overwhelming odds was pretty badass.
They did a good job of giving everybody something to do, which I appreciate. Fennec going all Al Neri on the Pyke leader and the crime family heads was great, especially stringing up the mayor. Ohhhh, that makes sense. I just totally didn’t clue in on who was in the tank. Understandable. {Spoiler}Olyphant looks ancient from the angle it was shot at. I'm glad they didn't kill him off, it's gonna be fun seeing him come back with his mod upgrades.

Yeah, it was much pretty just all shooty-bang-bang but GOOD shooty-bang-bang. This is Star Wars, I WANT my shooty-bang-bang. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Feels like, at the end of it, it was satisfying enough thanks to two-and-a-half episodes of The Mandalorian and bringing everything together in the end. Boba got to kick a lot of ass, which he just badly needed, even if again his looked like a berk for trusting the other gang leaders to not betray him.
Sorry Beals's Flip really was killed off, seems a waste of potential (and a good look), much as the loss of all the Tusken Raiders. At least Vanth lives.
Quite an uneven season. Episode 2 and the Mando show from 5-7 were worthwhile, but 1, 3 and 4 let it down a lot. The dialogue and plotting just weren't as strong as they needed to be, and Boba got to look like a bit of a rube too often.
I'm not sure if they'll do another season, if they'd honestly need to do another season, but at least they rallied with a stronger second half.

I honestly hope that if they ever try to pull that shit again, they just pay Millie Bobby Brown instead, given that's probably about as close as they're going to find to someone who looks plausibly enough like Leia and can act.

They're clearly setting up Vanth returning, so maybe some sort of Deadwood/Justified in space where Boba's noble intentions start to slip as he accumulates more power?

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}That was a damn good episode.
-Fennec once again showing that she's the best part of the show. I want more Fennec and it has nothing to do with my crush on Ming Na Wen not at all.
-More Amy Sedaris is always good.
-I know Luke probably let him go, but my headcanon is that Grogu coerced R2D2 into stealing the X-Wing
-Disappointed they killed off Cad Bane, I love the sadistic bastard and was hoping for more of him in live action but what you gonna do?
-While he looked much stronger in the finale I'm still bothered by Bobba being a bit of a dumbass, spreading out half a dozen people over an entire city, stupidly not building up his forces BEFORE declaring war on a crime syndicate and just kinda being doofus in general doesn't really endear me to him.

He's spent his entire life as a bounty hunter working almost exclusively by himself, and the few times he has worked as part of a group he's not been the one calling the shots, so making those kind of mistakes is somewhat expected. He trusted that the other crime families wouldn't screw him over and learned that there is no honour amongst thieves.
If we get more seasons, I expect a Boba Fett who has learned not to trust anybody outside his own people, and is more ruthless in his application of force.

I think that finale can be described as dumb fun. That's not a bad thing either, I enjoyed it. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}- I don't think Cad Bane is dead, or at least they left the door open for him to return. The camera pointedly lingered on the red button on his chest still beeping, after all. - I liked what they did with Boba in this episode. I think they finally found a good balance between the badass Boba of the EU/fans' minds, and the more matured and reasonable Boba of the first few episodes. Everything came together very neatly. - I still think there should have been a couple of more episodes. Do the Mando detour in the middle, and have 3-4 pure Boba episodes either side. I don't think they really did enough to establish the Pyke threat. We were told about it, but never really shown it until the end of the last episode. - The scene with Boba and Mando fighting back to back and taking out the Pykes was great. Loved seeing the Pykes get in some hits, only for the Mandalorian armor to save them both. Good to see Fennec living up to her assassin reputation too, by taking everyone out at the end. - And finally, Grogu is the best. Everything Star Wars is infinitely better if it has more Grogu. I will not take criticism on this last point

Aside from the seeming waste of a certain character, that was a satisfactory ending to what was basically a throw away series.
