Spoilers Book of Boba Fett [Spoiler Discussion]
- Thread starter Reverend
- Start date
There were a pair of distinctive small dents on the edge of his breastplate that disappeared when he fixed up his armor.
I think Disney's answer to the Slave One 'controversy' 
is this:
1. No, they have not officially renamed the ship.
2. You will never again hear the ship referred to by its actual name on screen. It will always be 'the ship' or some other neutral way of expressing it without ever again calling it 'Slave One.'

As stated, she's a bit too competent next to Fett. However, I can say with certain, 100% authority that nobody will be carding me in a bar on my 60th birthday. Ming Na Wen might actually pull that off.
That's...nice?
I think it's a reasonable assumption that now Boba has finished his bacta treatments, he'll be back to full fighting form. And wouldn't you know it, just in time for the climactic end of the series!? It's almost like it's a planned character arc or something . . .
I wouldn't be surprised if the female warrior shows up again, (possibly at the head of a Tusken army of her own making) but I can't see Boba deliberately going out to drag them into his fight, especially after it got the last tribe slaughtered.
Maybe, but I doubt it. Seems a little late in the game to play that card since the only Tuskens he had an existing relationship with are (so far as we know) all dead. He'd have to first contact all the other scattered tribes (good luck with that when most of them are actively trying to stay hidden from outsiders), then convince them to all cooperate.

Like I said, the one on the helmet is the only real dent worth noting. The others are just small dinks. And the fact he kept that one and repaired the others probably has everything to do with how he got it.

I just alluded to several common real-world terms for people who are sort of Catholic, or Catholic-adjacent, but, yes, sure, it stands as an precedent about how it’s unthinkable in- and out-of-universe to just jam modifiers on to “Jedi” all willy-nilly.
I’m not sure fandom can handle the shocking break with precedent that is “not referring to the Fett ship by name.” /s
And most of those examples are informal at best, intended to be derogatory at worst, and none of them are likely to be approved terminology by any theological agency, least of all the Vatican. Hence: irrelevant.
This is the same line of logic that has people saying "I'm vegetarian, but I eat fish." People saying it, doesn't make it any less a load of old bollocks.
So yes, "Grey Jedi" remains a silly nonsensical edge lord term for people with zero self awareness, and "Dark Jedi" remains an oxymoron.
I forgot about the new episode yesterday, so I ended up watching it this morning.
It was nice to get a little history of Fett and Shand.
Fett hiring Black Krrsantan as muscle was unexpect. How consistent are the references to him in fight pits with what the comics established about him? I've read several of the comics with him, but I can't remember what, if anything, they established about his backstory.
Definitely curious to see what, if any, other allies Fett will find to help fight the Pikes.

Krrsantan's time in the gladiatorial pits have always been a part of his character's backstory.
That was a cool episode. You have to respect Book of Boba Fett from taking a character that people only liked for decades because he had a cool mask and making him an ugly middle aged bald guy who is somehow even more badass than the mask version.
I think this idea that Boba grew and it explains why he seems to have evolved from chaotic neutral to chaotic good. Learning that he needs to inspire loyalty to avoid being sarlacc food.
I also loved the scene with the wookie when the hostess offered to cancel his debt if he let the customer go and he responded by tearing off an arm and paying his debt. Not only a callback to a throwaway line about wookies in the original Star Wars movie, it erases the stain of Greedo shooting first.

Good luck trying to find this scene unaltered on Youtube anymore...
I've run into so many people in SWTOR over the years who are exactly like this. They go on and on like they've discovered some great, profound wisdom about the "true nature of the Force" or whatever, as if they were the first one to crack the nut. But it's always the exact same crap.
In all fairness the foundation for all of this was laid in TCW. They even had an arc about him standing up for some poor local Tatooine peasant types against Cad Bane in the pipeline when the show was cancelled.
Hell, even AotC gave him more character and pathos than the OT ever could.
It may also be a reference to something in the Aphra comics. He doesn't like to be in debt, and if you owe him, he'll stick around make sure you pay up . . . and then probably kill you.
I loved Boba's reaction to her. "It was worth a try."
I was thinking of the line in Star Wars where Han says wookies are known to tear people's arm off for beating them in chess. I haven't seen TCW or read the comics, so I guess it's precedented in the total material but it's new to people who've only see the main live action stuff.
