Jhonen Vasquez, creator of the cult cartoon Invader Zim, shared some fan art pointing out an imbalance in recent episodes of The Book of Boba Fett.
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Episode 6 of Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, “Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger,” streaming now on Disney+.
Jhonen Vasquez, the writer and artist who created the cult cartoon Invader Zim, is apparently one fan of The Book of Boba Fett who’s feeling a little bit sorry for the title character as he’s sidelined from his own series over the past two episodes.
Posting to Twitter, Vasquez shared a drawing of Boba Fett against a simplified Tatooine background. The character is looking at an iPad and crying, with a thought balloon over his head reading, “But this my show.” Vasquez captioned the tweet, “Boba Fett watching the last couple of episodes of his own show,” and added the hashtag #bobafett with its emoji of Fett’s iconic helmet.
Star Wars fans were excited to see the return of Din Djarin from Star Wars: The Mandalorian in last week’s episode of The Book of Boba Fett, but the crossover also caused some confusion when Fett himself didn’t even appear, with the only link to his own story coming through a message from Fennec Shand at the very end.
“Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger,” which aired Wednesday this week, doubled down on Fett’s absence as well as on guest appearances. The episode not only brought in bounty hunter Cad Bane of The Clone Wars for his live-action debut, but also welcomed back Luke’s faithful droid R2-D2, Din’s foundling Grogu, Ahsoka Tano, Cobb Vanth and Luke Skywalker himself, de-aged as he was in The Mandalorian. While some viewers are unreservedly glad to see favorites returning, some may join Vasquez in wondering whose show Boba Fett really is.
Vasquez began his career with the indy comic series Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, along with its spinoffs Squee and I Feel Sick. In 2001, his animated show Invader Zim premiered on Nickelodeon, telling the story of an outcast alien whose attempts to conquer Earth never seem to go any further than the school where he pretends to be a human student. The series concluded in 2006 but retained a cult following, and a sequel film titled Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus was made for Netflix and aired in 2019.
The first six episodes of The Book of Boba Fett are streaming now on Disney+. To see if Fett gets the spotlight back, watch the Season 1 finale on Wednesday, Feb. 9.
