The Book of Boba Fett

the part that i don't understand is why he needs the bacta tanks NOW but not DIRECTLY AFTER getting out of the sarlacc? dude seemed generally fine in the flashback last episode, but in current time, he can't go an afternoon without collapsing into a bacta tank...

That was the only thing I was really confused about too.

Removing the mystery of Boba Fett is going to be a disaster.

He needs to be more like batman, he never seems prepared for any of this shit.

If he ends up being the omegachad everyone thought he would be, they'd need to pack all his frailties in the past through flashback scenes. Even Arnold had to slog through Conan's slave scenes turning the wheel of pain and studding slave girls in a cage.

It could all turn to shit for sure, but if he was gonna end up being Rambo/Godfather/Muad'Dib all rolled into one, then the first two acts would have to show Boba getting shit on nonstop.

I’m wondering if we ever see him use his Gaffi Stick again. Beyond a scene in Mando before he picked up his armour I’m guessing he retired it for good.

They'll probably tie his Tusken background with his struggles against the Hutts/Underworld to become "Daimyo" and that's the likeliest place we'll see the gaffi stick again.

The Hutt twins will probably kick his ass all over Tattooine until he rolls up with the Tusken and win.

Just a curiosity, but why does he need permission to kill Hutts?

I think they're basically the mafia where you need a go-ahead before killing a made man. I dunno if they've ever explained it like that, but I kinda hope they don't.

Yeah, except Mando was a new character and the first time they had done a live action SW show and we still only got one VERY short flashback to show why he hates droids. Boba is a well established character and his actions and attitude seem completely contrary to how he used to act.

It's not just like Mando. I don't really get how people keep saying that. Also, there are plenty of shows that are slow burn and full of exposition that people like. The problem isn't what the show is doing, the problem is that the show isn't doing those things very well. Like I said I don't think the show is aggressively bad but it's definitely worse than Mando by a pretty big margin.

this show needs a big event to get people talking about it. some kind of buzz. we got some pointless train heist which didnt do much. we did get a blue balls confrontation between Bobes and the Hutts. when shit actually goes down between them, then we can start hyping this. so far though its snoozeville.
compared to Mando, we already had Baby Yoda doing his magic and making women's hearts melt with cute overload.

In the games and shows I have played/watched, the Hutts are/were a huge power in the outer rim, with their own territory akin to the republic or separatist in the prequals.

Hutt space was centered on Nal Hutta, and their territory/government was mostly modeled after the five families of the New York mafia. To keep the "ungovernable" outer rim mystique, the Hutts didn't seem to control their territory with huge fleets, but instead with money and corruption. So, if you kill a Hutt leader (a "made man" equivalent, as phisey said), the whole organization will come after you, unless you work out a deal (payoff the right Hutts) beforehand.

Clone Wars TV show has a decent amount of Hutt and outer rim background. SWTOR also has a bunch of Hutt stuff, but it is set ~1000 years before A New Hope.

They should have a scene where Boba kills the Hutts, then 20 years later gets invited to a Mandalorian ceremony, but the room is empty and Fennec shoots him in the back of the head

Bro, THAT would be such a huge twist that people would talk about that for fucking everrrrrrrrr.
My question was just that I didnt know why he just didnt shoot black chewbacca in the back, then armor rocket the Hutts walking away. Its not like theyre going to jump out of the way. But I guess if the whole neighborhood is going to come after him for it, that makes sense for why that wouldnt be very smart. Spronk also brought up a good point that .. we dont really even know what Bob's motives/goals are at this point and that just seems odd?

Krrsantan and Boba were bros in the comics. I guess he was de-legended if he was legended at all.



The scar on his face is from Obiwan's lightsaber, which is another possible callback to the upcoming Kenobi series. But I'm not sure if he has that scar in the show. Doesn't look like it from his official poster:
