Boba Fett, the clone to Jango Fett, continued his 'father's work as more respected bounty hunter in the galaxy. When the Empire needed something done, Boba was the one for the job (unless Vader's brash and less than stealthy tactics were needed).

In Star Wars The Last Jedi we got to see that beautiful scene of the old master Yoda and his apprentice, Luke Skywalker, reunite once again. The nostalgic feel was romanticized heavily, however, it lead me to wonder just why Obi-Wan wasn't in the film...Rian Johnson answers this very question in an interview.

One of my favourite team ups in Star Wars. Maul finds himself on Nar Shaddaa (Nal Hutta's moon) and ends up having to hide his true powers against a bar full of guys trying to start something with him. Maul actually gets in bad shape until Cad Bane shows to up to save his...you know what. If only he could have used his full powers, but at this point Palpatine still wanted him to hide in the shadows as all Sith do until the time is fully right (order 66) to reveal both master and apprentice, properly. I hope we'll see Darth Maul in Kenobi starring Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader. Kenobi takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, and 10 years before A New Hope. This means we could also see Cad Bane in Kenobi as well if we get some baaaaad bounty hunters.

Having touched upon it briefly in the Book of Boba Fett Episode 7 breakdown, I gotta say, I don’t think Cad Bane is dead. In the book of Boba Fett finale, cad bane was killed super fast by Boba Fett, in a spin of events he threw him on his feet with his Gaffi stick and thrusted the tail end of it into Cad’s chest. I just don’t think Dave Filoni would bring back this huge animated character only to give him the most lame death in two seconds. We were left with Boba walking away and Cad Bane’s vest beeping like a bomb were about to go off. This, I believe, is his transponder to his droid to come and pick him up. Bane has survived his shot to the head from Boba in the unreleased clone wars episode, which is also how Boba got the dent in his helmet. This is why Cad had that metal plate on his head in the show, and for us animated Star Wars fans, we’ve seen that plate. I highly recommend watching the clone wars, rebels, and the bad batch to really understand all these characters. So what I think will happen, is Cad Bane gets picked up by his droid, Todo 360, who puts him in his ship and then either throws him in a Bacta tank or flies him to someone who can heal him. His tubes also allow him to breathe via the pipe going into his throat, so it’s possible that while his lungs might be punctured from Boba, he’s able to breathe from the mechanics of his tubes. Now if you didn’t know, Bane has these so that he can prevent being force choked by Jedi. The tube in his throat doesn’t allow his trachea to close when being force choked, which makes him impervious to that kind of devastating attack. So his life could also be sustained by those tubes. I believe we will see him again, I don’t think this is the end for him. The push in shot we got of his beeping vest really alludes to his return and that he’s not really dead. I think for season 2 we could see Cad Bane return with a more powerful enemy, maybe a crime syndicate which was something that George Lucas was planning to incorporate into his sequel trilogy with the Hutts and Crimson Dawn and beyond. If you want to learn more about that, check my video out with all the proof and evidence from George’s mouth himself, of his sequel trilogy. I believe we may be getting more to Boba in the next season, which I assume we’ll get based on Ming Na Wen’s post regarding season 1, which makes me think we’re getting a book of Boba Fett season 2.

The Book of Boba Fett reintroduced the relationship between Boba Fett and Cad Bane. Bane was mentored by Jango Fett, and Boba was mentored by Cad Bane. The two had an interesting relationship and I'd definitely like to see more of it in future shows and perhaps Boba Fett season 2. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Book of Boba Fett answered a few questions and opened others. The show, while fun and flashy and entertaining, didn't feel like it had a consistent theme. The show was a bit all over the place. Between Boba, Mando, Grogu, Luke, and Ahsoka, I couldn't tell who's show this really was. I'd like to believe there will be a second season, and I hope Cad Bane wasn't brought in just to be terminated so quickly. Overall the show was fun, but it was a mess. It felt like the finale could have been one of the episodes to build Boba's character and struggle. maybe it could have been the 4th episode, and then we'd have 3 more episodes to go where the real big villains reveal themselves, perhaps the Hutts, perhaps a crime syndicate, anyone really. The show started and ended with the Pykes, and it could have been so much more that that. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

let me just say this episode could have ended super easily by Boba summoning his Slave 1 ship from his gauntlet, and once it arrives, he hops in and just destroys all forces opposing him. He could have literally won in a couple minutes. Not sure why he didn’t utilize his ship. We’ve seen what ship blasters can do the shields like in the phantom menace when Anakin blasted droidekas in his royal n-1 naboo starship. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the Book of Boba Fett, Luke Skywalker presented Grogu with Yoda's lightsaber from Revenge of the Sith! This was a huge surprise, since many of us thought Yoda's lightsaber was long gone. In this episode, I'm going to explain the retcon of Yoda's lightsaber from the canon star wars comics, as well as how I think Yoda picked his lightsaber up from his duel with Palpatine in Star Wars Revenge of the Sith in the senate arena while Anakin fought Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. I'm down with this retcon, I think Yoda's lightsaber should show up instead of being destroyed by Mas Amedda after Order 66 on the Jedi. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the book of Boba Fett, when Cad Bane meets Cobb Vanth, he tells him that Boba Fett is a cold blooded killer that worked for the empire, to which Cobb says tell your spice runners tattooine is closed for business. Cad tells him you should have never given up your armour. How the heck does he know Cobb had Boba’s armor and that he gave it to the Mandalorian. Clearly, Cad has been keeping track of everything going on in Tatooine. This must have been a major prospect planet for the Pykes. They were probably scouring different planets out for which is best to sell spice through, and Tatooine definitely won, or became a more prime hub for it. This means that Cad knows about the Mandalorian, he knows about Boba Fett not having his armour, so probably he’s the one who killed the Tuskens and had been keeping an eye on them for a while as the pykes were travelling through Tatooine to do their trading, and he was hired to keep the operation going smoothly. This one line of dialogue is more creepy than I think many are giving it credit for. It’s super unsettling how privy Cad is to all the events going on in Tatooine and all the characters we’ve been following for so long, he’s been there watching and keeping tabs. It makes me wonder what would have happened had he actually been a bounty hunter to get Grogu from the Mandalorian. I don’t think the Mandalorian would have had a chance. While the dark troopers were powerful physically, they weren’t very bright. Cad Bane’s big brain houses decades of fighting experience and war tactics that make him who he is. The only thing is, he’s now so old, so I wonder how he’s going keep up with all the fighting going down. Does he have backup? I can’t imagine he’s the only one who’s protecting the pykes. There must be more muscle behind their grand plan and projects, and I think it’s Crimson Dawn. I also believe Cad has some others he brought with him, like Boba Fett brought Fennec, Cad probably called up Bossk, who is equally as terrifying as Black Krrsantan. Why do you think Cad Bane knows so much about Cobb’s armour? Was he the one who killed Boba’s Tusken village? Where’s the warrior who Boba worked with? What happened to her?

In Master and Apprentice, we get to see the beautiful relationship between just that, master qui gon jinn and his apprentice obi-wan Kenobi develop through their missions and time together like father and son. In an excerpt from the novel, we however go further back in time, and see Qui-Gon on the very first day where he met his new master, Count Dooku. Dooku, standing what seemed like metres above the young boy, tested him by asking the young jinn on what he feared. Qui-Gon told him honestly that he feared not being good enough, he feared failure, and Dooku was very impressed with this response. He felt Qui-Gon had passed his test for the day. So he took him on a tour of the Jedi Temple, passing through the many rooms and gardens…he eventually took him to see Jocasta Nu and to the temple archives. Once there, he showed Qui-Gon the holocron section…explaining to him briefly what this or that one does…until young qui-gon was pulled towards one in particular. A golden one that looked unlike any of the others, old and ancient. He put his hand to the gold surface as he asked what’s this one. . Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Here are top 10 facts about the darksaber that are good to know. I think many things could happen with the Darksaber...one wild theory is that Luke could end up defeating Cad Bane, who could have beaten the Mandalorian, and therefore making Luke the rightful ruler of Mandalore. This would obviously be super weird and out of place, as then who would beat Luke to claim it from him? He wouldn't even care for it. Or if Boba Fett steps in and defeats someone who took out Mando, making him the ruler of Mandalore. I truly hope Boba Fett takes it, and we get to see a progression of his story as ruler of Mandalore like Jango Fett in legends, and Jaster Mereel. Learn more about your ad choices.

Cad Bane is one of the deadliest Bounty Hunters in the galaxy, but he also might be one of the oldest. Now that Bane has appeared in the Book of Boba Fett, I thought we’d take a look at some of the more interesting aspects of the character, and compare him to some of the other crime lords, bounty hunters, and smugglers who survived the Galactic Civil War. And when we do that, one of the most interesting factoids about Bane is his age. Because he’s survived a long time, in one of the deadliest professions in the galaxy. And once you know the truth about his species, the Duros, you have to wonder, is Bane up to the challenge? Let’s start with a simpler question. How old is Cad Bane? To answer it simply… he was born in the year 62 BBY. That’s decades before the creation of the Empire, the fall of the Jedi Order, and well before Palpatine planned Darth Plageuis’ death. Since the events of the Book of Boba Fett take place in the year 9 ABY, then it’s easy to do some quick math, and figure out Bane was about 71 years old by the time he walked across the Tatooine desert, serving the Pike syndicate. Now… this might just seem like a random factoid about Bane’s age… and it certainly is… but when we look at the biology of his species, the Duros, we find that 71 years old is actually pretty old. Unlike Wookies or Hutts, who could live for centuries, the Duros actually had fairly short lifespans. According to the Ultimate Alien Anthology (legends I believe), if a member of the Duros species ever survived past his 69th birthday, he was considered elderly. That means, during Cad Bane’s golden era, the Clone Wars, he was already middle-aged. So the version of the character that pops up in the Book of Boba Fett might look pretty menacing, but he’s actually well past his prime. I know...We’re all looking forward to a classic duel in the dunes of Tatooine. I can’t wait to see Bane pull his LL-30 blaster pistol out of his holster, and take out the heroes... But instead of the spry Bounty Hunter who survived death defying leaps when apprehending the unmodified clone, Omega, on the Bora Vio facility… we’re probably going to get a slower, angrier, old-man version of Cad. I’m hoping that Bane will be similar to Clint Eastwood from Unforgiven… an old, washed up gun-for-hire who still has a few good fights left in him. Which… I’m equally pumped to see. If we just look at Cad Bane’s most famous Clone Wars adversary, Obi-Wan Kenobi, the wear and tear of age undoubtedly plays a significant role for warriors. By his death, Kenobi’s body had deteriorated greatly. His joints, from years of combat and trudging through the Dune seas, were ground down, just as any old man’s would be. While this physical pain didn’t really affect his abilities in the force… and he was still quite a tough opponent in a lightsaber duel… Kenobi’s best years were behind him. And I can’t help but think of Kenobi, whenever I see Bane. I wonder what the showrunners have planned. Will he, somehow, serve a similar purpose in future episodes, as Kenobi did when he brought Luke Skywalker to the Rebellion… after all, he was once Boba Fett’s mentor, just like Jango was once his.

WOW! Jumping into space, the N-1 Naboo royal starfighter is seen heading towards what I think is the forest moon of Endor. R2 drops into a sleep and the ant droids build a bench for him, where he sits to wait. Luke and Grogu are seen meditating atop a hill. The deep fake is the best I’ve ever seen and it literally looks like a young Luke Skywalker 5 years after return of the Jedi. As they meditate, Grogu raises a frog with the force to eat when Luke wakes up and looks at him all funny. Raising dozens of frogs with the force so Grogu sees maybe using the force can bring me more of what I want. I think Luke is doing this to show Grogu the difference in force abilities, and also maybe to entice Grogu, as we learn he’s having a hard time training him because of how loosely into it Grogu is. They take a walk and Luke tells Grogu about Yoda, about how size matters not. Asking Grogu if he remembers anyone talking in riddles like Yoda back home. Then Luke asks him if he wants to remember, and touches his head, showing us a vision of Grogu’s memories during Order 66. The first thing I’m going to mention is how the aura vignette is like Anakin’s visions of Padme in revenge of the Sith. Grogu is remembering actually being there at the Jedi temple. 3 Jedi are protecting him during the raid on the Jedi temple by the 501st. Pretty insane how the 501st shoot at the already lifeless body of the Jedi. We are taken back out of the flashback and Din is surprised by Ahsoka. He asks to see Grogu, and she basically tells him it’ll just make it harder for Grogu if he sees him again. He wants to gift him the beskar chainlink armor. It’s his right as a foundling. A mandalorian foundling that is. Ahsoka questions why is he not a Jedi Padawan now, instead of a foundling? Din seems heartbroken and this scene is very breaking. As we know Din realizes he must not make it harder for Grogu if he sees him. So he chooses what’s best for Grogu in the moment and gives the gift to Ahsoka Tano to give to Grogu. Blasting off in his N-1 Naboo starfighter as Grogu reaches out for him. It was a really beautiful scene and I know they’re writing it this way to increase the tensions of Grogu and Din finally meeting one day. Luke trains with Grogu much like how he trained with Yoda on his back. He runs through the forest much like Dagobah, and even does the same front flip like in the empire strikes back. Luke speaks of balance. This is something qui-gon preached. I love how we’re seeing a bit of a legends Luke here where he’s taking ideologies of the Jedi from the republic and moulding them into his own way, a better way. Not so dogmatic as palatine would tell Anakin. Luke has Grogu standing on one leg just like he did on one hand, and trains with his green lightsaber as Grogu watches on in curiosity. He trains Grogu with the marksman training remote. This is the one we saw Obi-Wan use on Luke in a new hope all those years ago. This was Luke’s first entrance into the force and to train his Jedi reflexes. Something Qui-Gon noticed in Anakin very quickly upon their meeting. Grogu is a quick learner and beings leaping with the force much like Yoda, flipping, dodging blasts from the remote when Ahsoka remarks that Luke taught him well, as Luke says, he’s beginning to remember more than his teaching and we get a beautiful line where she tells him sometimes the student guides the master, as she smiles and looks like she’s reminiscing of her time with Anakin.

Something I noticed in the book of Boba Fett episode 5 was a very familiar ship that we haven’t seen for decades. The Scimitar. If we go to the end credits where the concept art rolls in on the halo city, we see this ship in the far right top corner. This is the scimitar. Is this Darth maul’s ship? Assuming it could be, considering ALL the big Phantom Menace vibes in this episode...let's go ahead with the theory. Now while it’s possible there are several models of this same ship, I don’t think the concept artist would put it in such an iconic ship just for giggles. Much like how in revenge of the Sith we see the Millennium Falcon on Coruscant, this ship here I think is actually Maul’s scimitar. So, is this maul? No way, he’s dead. But who I do think it is, is Qi'ra. Maul’s apprentice and the leader to crimson dawn. I believe this little Easter egg is something not to be glossed over. I believe crimson dawn is the one funding the Pykes and really the power behind this whole show. I think what’s going to happen is Thrown controls everything, like the Thanos of Star Wars, and Qi'ra is like Hella, or somewhat like a version of Nebula or something. Maul’s crime syndicate is being now led by Qi’ra who rose to power in Solo. I think seeing her and maybe even Han Solo together in the show could be interesting. Perhaps she captures him or something and brings him to Boba as a peace offering. Luke has to step in and it’s an all out war, and we see boba a bit conflicted but ultimately staying true to his team. I think boba wants revenge on Luke and Han for what they did to him. So it would be exciting to see what happens if he comes across them again… Qi’ra will be really powerful, not in the force as she isn’t force sensitive, but in her duelling trained by Maul as well as her overall control of the Crimson Dawn. She controls many crime lords much like Maul did, as we see him tell everyone to go into hiding just before Order 66 in The clone wars season 7. Seeing Maul’s ship, let’s me know that Crimson Dawn is indeed coming, and we can expect an all out war in the 7th episode. I hope it is his ship, and not just there for fun.

Star Wars 1313 was cancelled upon almost being completed by Lucasfilm once Disney bought Star Wars from George Lucas. The game looks like it would have been amazing. Almost like a Bounty Hunter sequel to the Jango Fett inspired game. Here is some never before seen footage that has been released from The Vault (linked below) of the Boba Fett gameplay in the game. Star Wars 1313 was a game that focused heavily on the underworld of Coruscant. It seems to be inspired by the show that George Lucas was about to create, as well.

My only issue is that Boba Fett is acting how I’d expect the Mandalorian to act, and the Mandalorian acts how I’d expect Boba Fett to act. Boba should be calm, quiet, callous, and less talkative, however that’s Mando’s personality. Now that the two are in the same show, I can’t help but compare them to one another, and while I love Boba Fett much more than the Mandalorian, this new Disney version of him is kind of pissing me off. I feel like his personality needs to be more like a villain. He shouldn’t care so much. He doesn’t need to rule with respect, he’s Boba freaking Fett, he can rule however he pleases. The show has some of my favourite moments in Star Wars don’t get me wrong, especially the second episode, but when Boba started to speak so much and be so soft to literally everyone, it just makes him look weak, not like the hardened Boba we know. I mean, Boba in the originals had no more than 2 minuets of screen time in the entire trilogy and yet he was made a fan favourite for literal decades. The reason for this is his story wasn’t told. He wasn’t so talkative. You always wonder what’s he thinking, what’s his facial expression. The helmet has no expression, so you get this very callous and stoic demeanour from him, much like Jango. But with Boba now, as much as I love Tem Morrisson, I feel like he needs to be a little more cut throat and not be so damn nice to people like the biker gang for example. When the girl was giving him attitude, he should have tied her up with his cable and flown into the air threatening to drop her, while shooting rockets at their bikes or feet to let them know not to piss around. The mayor’s assistant, he should have smacked him a long time ago and when he took off, I’d have preferred if he flew into the air really fast and shot down his speeder, or flown infant of his windshield, aiming his blaster at him while they move in the same direction, Boba gliding backwards with him. The only time Boba has been bad ass was with the Tuskens or in the flashback with the slave 1, but outside of that, he just gets his butt kicked and talks way too much as Tem Morrisson even mentioned in an interview. I feel like when you have Boba and Mando in a show, there needs to be one outranking the other in terms of who is more bad ass. Since Din is a hero, Boba needs to remain in the shadows, I’m not saying make him Darth Vader level of evil, but make him mysterious, you never know what he’s thinking, what his next move will be. Right now I just feel like he’s a bit of a pushover and it bugs me because Boba was one of my favourite tough guys growing up. I believe he’s going to kick some ass, I fully have faith in Jon and Dave, that said, I just hope Disney or others aren’t forcing their hand to write Boba as more of a delicate flower than a raging ticking time bomb of carnage and rockets. Boba in Mando season 2 outshined everyone, and he was in full original trilogy and comics boba mode, I’d like to see the same from him in the show, and I hope we see it in the next few episodes. Wonderful story, wonderful writing and directing and acting by the whole cast and crew, however I feel Tem should be listened to when he exclaims Boba is talking too much. Remember, Tem knows Jango from George Lucas, he knows this character inside and out. There was a specific vision George had when casting Tem as Jango, and there’s a lot of behind the scenes screening that went on before the decision was made, primarily on Tem’s quiet and badass stoic demeanour and attitude. Let’s hope we get to see Tem act Boba the way he suggested and the way we remember Fett to be from all the source material. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the last episode we saw an episode all about the Mandalorian, and oddly enough I found it to be the best episode, however this is the Boba Fett show, so I am looking forward to it picking back up with Boba. Now, Din tells Fennec he’ll help Boba out once he visits Grogu, and this means that we’re going to see Luke and Grogu together. Now my prediction is that Grogu is training with Luke somewhere, it could be on the forest moon of Endor, which would be cool to see again, especially if Vader’s helmet was presevered somewhere by Luke, as it would help us understand how Kylo Ren got it. Anyways, there are two possibilities for how I think we’ll see Luke and Grogu again. Either Din goes to them somewhere where they’re training, and perhaps even with more force sensitive children, or, Luke comes to Din aboard the millennium falcon with Han and Leia. I think if that happens, the world would be filled with tears and drought wouldn’t be a thing anymore. That’s the one thing I feel was really missing in the sequel trilogy, the wasted opportunity of getting Luke han and Leia back together one last time and now sadly it’ll never happen again with Carrie’s untimely passing, however with technology we know it could still happen for the story. Carrie’s daughter played her at the end of Rogue One and it worked pretty well for the scene. Perfectly connecting Vader in rogue one into a new hope. Either option would be something I’d like to see. With the showing of a BD droid, could this mean we’ll see other Jedi knights or masters with Luke? Perhaps helping him train his new class of students? Could Cal be helping Luke on his journey to find as many force sensitives in the galaxy as possible? It would make sense continuity wise as Cal was on a mission to find these beings at the end of Jedi: Fallen Order, so I think it could make sense if we saw him or heard about him from Luke. Leia could be one of the students as well, and I feel like Grogu will take well to Leia. She always was good with little creatures, like Wicket. Now, I think while Mandalorian sees little baby Yoda, he’ll show Luke the dark saber and a training session will be had. Luke will show him how to use the sober, and we could get a full on Jedi training moment like in the prequels and originals. Luke could tell Mando about who trained him in lightsaber combat, if you didn’t know, Yoda trained him, there are deleted scenes on YouTube never before seen and cut from the empire strikes back where Yoda is on Luke’s back on Dagobah and he’s instructing him how to wield his father, Anakin’s, lightsaber. I believe while Mando learns how to use the dark sober from Luke, we’ll also get a sense of Luke’s journey with Grogu as we head into the mandalorian season 3, as we know for sure that Mando is going to Mandalore to visit the live springs beneath the mines which are all but destroyed now. Other than that, we don’t know much else about season 3 or where it’ll end up, so I think seeing Luke will also give us insight on his journey and how that could connect to Mando’s at some point in the next season. As for Cal Kestis, he’d be close to 40 now, and I think he would be perfect to help Luke find remaining Jedi in the galaxy. As for Ahsoka, well, I don’t think Luke has met her yet, and if he has, I hope we get to see their first interaction in a flashback or something, as I’m sure their campfire stories about Anakin would be emotional to witness, especially Luke telling Ahsoka how Anakin was redeemed, and died the hero like he always was as she knew him before Order 66. I don’t see Luke going back with Mando to help him on Boba’s quest. I don’t think Luke will be in the rest of the show. Rather, a cameo perhaps before the last episode. Episode 6 of the original trilogy and episode 6 of the book of Boba Fett I think could be the perfect time for Luke to appear, and this episode is directed by Dave Filoni, and there’s no one better than Dave to give us a Luke cameo.

We start right out of the gate with Mando collecting a Bounty, and I don’t think he’s doing it for money. I think he’s doing it for information. Obviously information on where the armorer is. So Mando pulls up, does the whole I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold thing which was epic to hear, and he takes them out not with his blasters but with the freaking dark sober. So he still has it and didn’t give it up to Bo Katan. I wonder how she left him, because obviously she wanted it and was ready to fight him for it by trial by combat. Mando fights them but not very well. It’s obvious he doesn’t know how to use the dark saber mainly due to its weight. The sober is an ancient weapon, not like a typical lightsaber. It obviously holds different properties that regular lightsabers don’t possess, perhaps the crystal has dark matter like a viewer mentioned during the watch party, perhaps it requires one to learn how to use it by becoming one with the blade, either way, we know he has trouble using the blade, and I think he’s going to get help from Luke Skywalker in the next episode on how to fight with a lightsaber. A scene, I think we all want to see. Din takes them out, and he leaves with the head of his bounty. Might I add, this scene was super dark and gruesome, I was surprised it was allowed with Disney and all. I was happy to see some realism with a lightsaber once again. The ring is like the ring from the old republic near Telos. Also it’s like Halo. Din delivers his bounty and is told the location of the armorer, where we see her in a meditative position. She’s probably the most stoic mandalorian I’ve ever seen. He gets patched up by Paz Viszla, this is the mandalorian who helped him in season 1 on nevarro. He is a descendant of house Vizsla. Din shows the dark sober to them ,and the armorer asks to examine it. Giving us a ton of explanations on mandalorian culture and mandalore. We learn the hilt is of a higher grade of beskar which makes me wonder if there are different grades of Beskar, are some better than others? She tells him that the ruler of this blade rules all of Mandalore, nothing new there, but then she explains a character that is so important to mandalorian lore and that’s Tarre Vizsla. He was a mandalorian Jedi and the first to wield this blade 1000 years ago. She also mentions how if one comes to possess this blade without a proper trial by combat, then a curse will be set upon mandalore and its people. The armorer acknowledges that the Mandalorian has completed his quest of reuniting grogu with his kind and the Jedi, and so she allows him to join her enclave. We learn Moff Gideon wasn’t killed, but he was sent to the new republic to face trial. His story isn’t done yet, so we’ll probably see him again in mandalorian season 3. The Armorer tells of the mandalorian who rides the mythosaur who will rise to lead the mandalorians from the songs of eons past. Now in the Christmas special, Boba rode a mythosdaur and this is what he alluded to in Boba Fett episode 3 when he tells the rancor keeper he’s ridden much bigger. Boba also has a mythosaur on his armor so could this mean that Boba will rise to run all mandalorians like his father once did and Jaster Mereel before him? Learn more about your ad choices.

So in the book of Boba Fett we know Boba is about to call upon some muscle. Who could this muscle be? Well, of course he’s calling Mando, but besides him, I really hope that he’s going to call The Bad Batch. Fennec knows about them, and she could potentially tell Boba about his very special brothers. Why wouldn’t he call a bunch of mutant versions of himself who literally have super powers to come and help. Wrecker would singlehandedly wipe out any turrets the pykes have setup, and Hunter would track down the electromagnetic frequencies of diabolical machinery that needs to be located and disabled. Tech and Echo would infinlitrate their communications and learn of their strategy as they prepared everyone for battle, while simultaneously taking control of their weaponry systems. As for crosshair, well, who knows. Now, while it would be awesome to see them, it probably won’t be allowed to happen as it would ruin possible plot points or excitement for what’s to come in the bad batch season 2. Maybe Crosshair is eliminated, maybe he joins the team, maybe one of the members isn’t around anymore. Bringing them into the show would ruin a lot and spoil potentially a lot for the upcoming season so if they want to bring one member in, they could, however I think bringing in the whole team would make us lose our suspense if anything were to happen to them in future episodes. Sp who else could boba call upon? Well, Bossk, Dengar are still possibilities. Bossk might be tough since he’s much more of a fly solo type of guy that doesn’t play well with others, especially with Boba, seeing as how just a few years before Boba blew up Bossk’s legs and took his invitation to the crimson dawn party. Lucky for Bossk, trandoshans limbs always grow back. Dengar. Now this is a character that in legends saved Boba from the Sarlacc pit. I think if anyone’s going to call Dengar, it’s Boba. Plus, leaving Bossk for the opposing team would make the dynamic between Krrsantan and the Trandoshan much more fun to watch, and then they can all fight together hopefully in the end. The only person Boba can’t call, is Cad Bane, as they aren’t the best of friends. Boba’s dent on his helmet is from Cad Bane, and there was a recorded episode that never aired between Boba and Cad fighting to the death, where obviously Cad had to die, but later we see his metal plate in his head so perhaps he lived with this cybernetic upgrade keeping his brain functioning, and Boba got a shot to his helmet, which no doubt must have knocked him out since it dented the Beskar. I think Mando will be the most exciting to enter the scene, as the two hopefully will create a great dynamic together like last time, and if I remember, Din kinda owes Boba for all the help he gave him even up to the end there.

Could the Boba Fett Finale Begin a New Sequel Trilogy with Luke? Ok...Well, I believe Boba will hire Din Djarrin as one of the members of his new muscle team. We have Fennec Shand, Black Krrsantan, the two Gammorreans, and that’s it. With Din on his side, let’s say he does join, which I think he will, after the help Boba gave him in season 2, I find it hard to believe he’ll decline, especially now that he doesn’t have Grogu to look after. We have to remember Din has the dark saber. This means he is the rightful ruler of Mandalore, and with him comes an entire loyal army of other mandalorians. This means all the mandos we saw in season 1 episode 2 could come with him, and the pykes would get absolutely blasted…that is…unless they have cad bane, Bossk, and qira on their side. Qira is dangerous maybe more than anyone else because she was privately trained by Darth Maul. She even held her own for a few seconds against Vader which isn’t easy. If Boba gets Din, he gets Bo Katan and all other mandalorians who are loyal to their leader. Will he use a comm link, or will he actually go to mandalore, assuming that’s where they are now and where they’ve taken Moff Gideon. Now, Jaster Mereel was the rightful ruler of Mandalore, the man who was like a father to Jango Fett and trained him to become a mandalorian, does this mean that Boba could want to rule mandalore himself? Will he even care to someday fight Din for the dark saber? What if he goes to Mandalore, and finds Din captured by the remnants of the Empire who came to save Moff Giddeon, and now they control the dark saber, making Boba fight them and granting him the dark saber to rule. Now Boba rules Mandalore, Mandalorians, and soon the crime world of Tatooine and other parts of the galaxy. Now, what if the Pykes are being funded by Crimson Dawn, who roll with Cad Bane, Bossk, and Qira. Qira was trained by Maul, but what if they take another apprentice Maul had, one from legends, Darth Talon. This would make the sequel trilogy that George Lucas had planned before selling to Disney a possibility and allowing Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni to create the most epic story based on Luke fighting Maul’s apprentice, and finding a slew of new Jedi to train, Grogu being one of them. This season could literally open the road to a sequel trilogy before the completed sequel trilogy and give us two sequels essentially. Only this one being before the force awakens and it wouldn’t be a film, but rather a series of spin off shows that all eventually lead to one finale, or, better yet, one final film. We would end this season with Luke perhaps finding out about Talon and the Emperor’s cloning facility that is working to bring him back, among other things like Snoke, and we could have the Ahsoka show explain Thrawn and Ezra eventually leading into meeting Luke Skywalker and learning from him, tying everything to the top of the storyboard here, which is the Empire cloning Luke, to gives us Luuke just like in heir to the empire, who goes on to lead the first order and terrify Luke so much that once Luuke is finally defeated, the real Luke feels the need to go into hiding and cut himself off from the force in order to save the galaxy from getting himself cloned again and this time losing. Now mind you even if that was his fear, he would stand and fight, but honestly that’s the only logical thing I could see for Luke hiding like he did. I think the Pykes are just the tip of the ice berg. I believe behind them is crimson dawn, and behind them or rather working alongside them is an even larger threat to the face of the galaxy. I believe with each faction, we will have different heroes needing to rise up to take them down. Boba with the Pykes and Crimson dawn, Luke with possible force users, Ahsoka against Thrawn, and eventually the rise of Snoke, as we do know that in canon Luke has fought Snoke before at some point. Either way, Din Djarrin is coming into this season, and I couldn’t be more excited for it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I think the rest of the season is going to be a banger. I think Boba will go to Mandalore and get Din Djarin to join him. I hope he doesn’t just call him up, or get in touch with the guild. I hope we see live action mandalore and all the mandos join in, including Bo Katan. The thing is, if Mando joins Boba, then most likely everyone else will join too as he’s the leader of Mandalore. My question is, where is Grogu and Luke? Could we see them? I think from here Boba will create his own little suicide squad of baddies. I wanna see him Krrsantan, Fennec, bossk and dengar against Cad Bane the pykes and quira. I’d be cool with them putting Bossk on the opposing side, I think that would make it interesting for a fight between Krrsantan and Bossk. Learn more about your ad choices.

We haven't seen the last of Black Krrsantan in Book of Boba Fett (and if we have, then maybe we'll see him again in the Kenobi show with Ewan and Hayden Christensen). Black Krrsantan has an amazing backstory, so in this episode I'd like to explain his days as a Gladiator with the Xonti brothers! Give us a Black Krrsantan spin-off show in Disney Plus with Aphra!

Black Krrsantan has a myriad of powerful weapons. Let's go over them and discuss them. Maybe we'll see more of him in The Book of Boba Fett. I feel like his battle with the teens was underwhelming and didn't showcase how powerful and vicious he actually is. Hopefully we'll see him someday again. Maybe in Kenobi?

So tonight’s episode was by far my least favourite. It was slow, with some scenes of epic ness, but even those with black krrsantan was too short and honestly not true to his character. He would have broken boba’s back, as well as ripped the heads off the gammoreans and the power ranger biker gang. There’s a lot to discuss so let’s get to it. Learn more about your ad choices.

Note: This episode doesn't answer where he is, because we don't actually know yet in Star Wars canon. I hope it provokes your thoughts and for those unaware that Rotta exists...just know maybe we'll see him eventually. During the book of Boba Fett we saw the arrival of the twin hutts, Jabba’s cousins. Now while I found it to be a little too convenient that they showed up around the same time Boba did and not during the last 5 years, I think I can theorize on a few things. I think while Bib Fortuna did take the throne of Jabba after his passing, he was probably just a puppet for Jabba’s family. He was a place holder, just taking orders from the higher ups and keeping the seat warm. He was like the manager when the owner wasn’t there themselves. Once Boba arrived, talk spread through the galaxy that he killed Bib, and obviously this wasn’t good for business for the Hutts. So the twins arrived to stake their claim and tell Boba whatsup after their puppet died. So, speaking of rightful heirs to Jabba’s throne, wouldn’t it be Rotta? Jabba’s son? We haven’t seen him for about 25-30 years since the clone wars so where could he be? I think he’s probably ageing slowly like Grogu, and while he might be 30, he’s still a toddler or like a young child, not fit to rule Tatooine on his dad’s throne. So until Rotta was ready, the twins had Bib Fotuna watch the place and essentially just be the errand boy until either the Twins came down to Tatooine or Rotta grew up enough to rule, himself. Now Hutts live to be as old as Yoda’s species, or even older, well over a century, whereas Jabba died at the young age of just 600, his cousins and son will surely outlive him. So from here I think Boba needs the good graces of the crime leaders to take out the twins, and in order to do that, maybe he has to do a few odd jobs to win their respect. If he goes toe to toe with Black Krrsantan it’s not going to be good for him, but if he gets Bossk on his side, then I can see this going in his favour. Ultimately I’d like for Boba, Fennec, Bossk and Black to become the new suicide squad going into Season 2. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As fennec brings back the assassin that she captured, the door opened like it did for Luke in return of the Jedi. We find out the assassin is part of a night wind clan, who are high level assassins who were in power under the hutts. They’re gun for hires. After being fooled into thinking he would be eaten by a Rancor, he gives it up that the Mayor sent him to kill Boba. Boba and Fennec travel to Mos Espa and barge into the Mayor’s quarters, where the assassin is killed, as the Mayor says he can’t operate outside of Hutt space, and since the Hutt’s don’t rule Tatooine anymore, this is an illegal act, shooting him. The Mayor, an ithorian species, and who’s name is mok shaiz, assures Boba that he has no motive to kill him, so it wasn’t him. Boba asserts his position as Daimyo and that the Mayor only continues to live because he wills it. The Mayor’s mok shaiz, tribute is advice, that running a family is more difficult than being a bounty hunter. I think what he means by this is that being a crime lord is more difficult than bounty hunting. He sends him to Garza’s sanctuary, and when Boba gets there, he finds out from Madame Garza that the Hutt’s have reclaimed Tatooine. The cousins of Jabba, twins. Boba doesn’t believe it. As we hear drums and the nearing of the Hutt twins, everyone including max Reebok and his band stop in their tracks. As the twins arrive, carried by wee quays, they tell boba that Tatooine is now theirs. Boba doesn’t care, and stands his ground, then the hutts laugh and black krrsantan walks up to stare boba down. Black Krrsantan is the most vicious wookie known to the galaxy. He’s a feared bounty hunter and much more dangerous than Boba Fett, physically. Trandoshans and Wookies have a long rivalry with each other, and so it makes me wonder if Boba will team up with Bossk sometime in the show to fight Black Krrsantan. I’ll make a few videos on Black all by himself, as he’s a monster and has had run ins with Vader, Obi-Wan, and more. As Boba heads back to his bacta, the rest of the episode is his flashback during return of the Jedi and it’s really the most beautiful bit of Star Wars I’ve seen. It was so heartfelt, mystic, heroic, and moving. Boba is training with the gaffi stick as the tusken is teaching him. Proper training scene, I love seeing the progression happen. I think the tusken he’s learning from is a woman, and he might develop a relationship with, perhaps she dies in a fight later on and Boba goes berserk or something. The tuskers are ambushed by a speeding train that shoots at them. These are the pyke syndicate, they were prominent in the clone wars for selling spice. Spice was a drug that sold for a lot of money, and it was mined in corelliia. Boba realizes how he can take the train down, as that night he sees those weequays riding on speeders through the desert, the same ones collecting the water from the moisture farmers in book of Boba Fett episode 1. Boba needs those speeders, so he tracks them down and we end up at tosche station. This is pretty awesome because this is where Luke hung out as a teenage with his friends, and it’s what we hear him say in episode 4 about his power converters. From the deleted scene in a new hope we see that the structure and and interior is the same, this is great continuity. The two people being picked on are actually Luke’s friends, cammie and fixer. Boba takes them out like the terminator took out the bikers in the bar, and stole their bikes as mentioned in last night’s watch party. He heads back the tuskens and teaches them how to ride. As they eventually ambush the train and take out the pykes in a massive all out battle. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
