devoid of any Star Wars magic and feel like nothing more than cash-ins. I like The Mandolorian and TBOBF though along with some of the animated stuf

The Book of Bobba Fett is a good example of Disney's treatment of the non-movie Star Wars cannon. IIRC, LucasFilms treated the "official"
novels, tv shows (i.e. Star Wars Clone Wars), etc., as cannon. When Disney took over, they announced that only the 6 films were cannon. I am not sure they even include the Clone Wars animated movie.

Bobba did escape the pit in those books, but I am not so certain that Disney didn't readjust Bib Fortuna's fate in order to tell their story of Fett.
I would have to see it to be sure and, as I don't have Disney+, I guess I won't be. :)

SPOILER:

Did Fortuna become a brain walker in TBOBF?

I doubt it. Fortuna was abad guy, but not a villain. He got his quick and sudden death he deserved.

The opportunity that rose with Rogue One and eps 7-9 was they had an opportunity to draw in millions of Chinese viewers into the Star Wars universe
Take into account the earlier movies didn't get any of much exposure in the Chinese cinema industry. The answer was to add a more diverse cast and some token well known Chinese actors that the audience can identify with to make the films worth distributing in China.

Diverse, to a point. The lead male black character, for example, had to be removed from all posters and advertising in China, per request of their government.

I honestly don't feel that Episode 7 was any more diverse than previous chapters. I did not see the last two so maybe they were.

If he did not become a brain walker before Bobba escaped the Saralac and returned to the Palace/Monestary, then Disney did deviate from canon (which
was why I asked about that <grin>).

I attribute the change in Boba's character to be the result of facing death, then being "reborn" as part of a tribal social unit. In the flashbacks as a child, he would see Jango flying off, then later on filling his shoes (and costume) living a life on anger and brutality to others. He realizes his life before was empty, and learned from the Sand people he could be happy in a society with mutual earned trust and respect.

I think that is/was the intention, however they really didn't show it
well. This is a case where trying to do flashback jump cuts spliced in
just doesn't work well for evolving the character... would have been
better to just make the first 2-3 episodes serialized from coming out of
the sarlac (sp) pit, through to the destruction of the sand people tribe
he was with. Maybe intersperse that with flashbacks to his brutality
and childhood.

Then make the following 3-4 episodes in the "current" timeline of the inter-series setting. Also the mod-kids gang was just horrible... and
the final battle was too constrained.
