Book Of Boba Fett: 9 Questions The Series Didn't Answer
With the finale of The Book of Boba Fett, many loose ends have been tied surrounding the titular bounty hunter from his survival of the Sarlacc Pit to his rise to power as the new Daimyo of Mos Espa. But as action-packed and exciting as the series was, some can't help but have a few more questions surrounding the events of the show.
Because the Star Wars universe is such a large field to play with, fans will always have questions and queries surrounding their favorite galaxy far, far away. Even so, The Book of Boba Fett ended with a few headscratchers that Favreau and Filoni should answer.
Ninjas in space might seem like a fever dream of an idea, but that's precisely what the Order of the Night Wind appears to be. For a group of masked assassins who were given distinct costumes and plasma weapons, they appeared like they were going to be much more of a threat than they were.
In another Star Wars spinoff, the Order might not take too kindly to being so easily bested by Boba Fett. So it makes sense to wonder why they didn't come back. Granted, the Pyke Syndicate was a much bigger danger, but it feels like these characters were wasted.
From their introduction in the first episodes, it's clear that the Tusken Raiders that take Boba in as one of their own aren't the same grunting and screaming raiders Luke encounters in A New Hope, at least that's what appears to be the case. From their black robes to their mystical practices, these have to be a different breed of Sandpeople.
What fans want to know is what made this small group of desert-dwellers so special that they were obviously separated from the others of their kind. It might have been their nomadic ways, their advanced fighting skills, or their psychedelic use of space lizards for vision quests, but they definitely had more stories to tell.
There were other survivors from Jabba's barge disaster, including other bounty hunters and minions under the Hutt's employ. By that logic, there have to be at least one or two leftover rivals of Fett with an ax to grind. The fact that he wasn't given more trouble from people from his past was definitely a curious creative choice.
To be fair, fans did get an appearance from Cad Bane in episode 6, but he surely wasn't the only one Boba has tangoed with before out there looking for him. That's probably something a sequel series will have to cover.
In all honesty, the fact that BD-1 appeared at all is probably just an extra scoop of fan service for viewers who sunk several hours into Jedi: Fallen Order. That being said, it does beg the question just as to how a junker like Peli Motto got BD-1 on her arm in the first place.
It's already been said she's had more than a friendly relationship with the Jawas, but a droid with a connection to one of the last surviving Jedi has got to be a hot-ticket item. That's not to say that the Jawas don't know how to get their ratty little mitts on anything they desire, but BD-1 has to have seen a lot of action since the fall of the Empire.
Perhaps one of the biggest reveals in all the series was the appearance of the infamous Cad Bane as he walked the sandy streets of Freetown. While it was undoubtedly a tremendous delight to see the famous Clone Wars villain make his appearance in a live-action format, the guy hasn't aged as gracefully as Ahsoka Tano.
According to Star Wars lore on Wookiepedia, Duro, Cad Bane's species, only live till their seventies. That means that Bane was certainly getting on in years before his final confrontation.
Now that Din Djarin has the infamous Darksaber, he's technically supposed to be the ruler of Mandalore. However, since he confessed to the Armorer his great transgression of removing his helmet, he must atone for his sin by bathing in the living waters of Mandalore. Until then, he is a child of the Watch no more.
Here's where things get a little confusing, if Din Djarin is now heir to the throne of Mandalore, removing his helmet should be forgiven by the Darksaber alone. Plus, if he's not technically a Mandalorian anymore, he shouldn't be able to still hold on to that coveted saber. Yet the Armorer doesn't try to take it from him.
Fans of The Clone Wars were thrilled and chilled to see Grogu's flashback to the carnage of Order 66, but it didn't exactly give enough answers to Grogu's backstory. When Luke helps him recover his lost memories, viewers are shown a first-person view of Grogu hiding in something while Clone Troopers blast away his unknown Jedi defenders.
Theories have arisen as to what truly transpired during this scene, but the series provided no solid answer. While some suspect that it was truly R2D2 who helped the little green bundle of joy escape, it still remains only fan speculation with no canonical response.
The easy answer is his bond with his silver-clad adopted dad, but real Star Wars buffs might want a more thorough response than that. For a chapter, it looked like Grogu was going to be the heir to the next generation of Jedi for Luke to teach until he was given the choice between Yoda's lightsaber and Mandalorian chainmail.
Ignoring the fact that Luke just presented him with an absolute, and only Siths deal in absolutes, Grogu was just tapping into his stronger Force abilities, so it would seem that he was preparing to accept his destiny. The bond between the Child and the Mandalorian is indeed strong, but the decision process probably wasn't easy.
Judging by the construction of the new Jedi temple, it might be a long while before the events between Luke and Ben Solo unfold. But that temple looks like it will house more than just two or three, so that has to mean Luke has or will have more students somewhere. So the fact that remains is who will take Grogu's place.
A Jedi Academy spinoff series could very well be the next direction for this universe, but fans won't know until the creators reveal more. So long as Mark Hamill is able and willing to assume the role of Luke Skywalker once again, the possibility is definitely on the table.
