Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I’m your host Paul aka the guy who’s a bit like boba
fett because I’m the most forgettable thing about my own show.
Having that.
With the finale right around the corner I thought I’d blue milk this thing one last
time and go over all the theories and predictions that I have for the finale.
If you enjoy the video then please hit the thumbs up button and also don’t forgeto
to subscribe for videos like this every day.
With that out the way, thank you for clicking this, now let’s get into The Book Of Boba
Fett.
Mace windu saves Grogu
Ok so In the latest episode of the show we saw a harrowing flashback to Order 66 which
has been explored from different perspectives across the current Star Wars canon.
In it we watced three Jedi attempt to protect Grogu but curiously we are yet to see him
be saved fully.
I think that we need a fan favourite to step in and do something and having that happen
would break the internet just like Luke did upon his return.
Now though there were a whole host of jedis at the temple during the ambush I think it
would be amazing to see Mace Windu come back.
In one of the coolest scenes in Revenge of the Sith he went to confront Palpatineonly
to suffer from the combo of Star Wars tropes, having his hand cut off before he fell to
his apparent death.
Though he was hurtled through the skies of Coruscant, Star Wars has slowly started to
establish that this isn’t a death sentence.
Notably Darth Maul was sliced in two and he fell to his death but fans loved him so much
that they brought him back for the expanded lore.
Things like this have been shown in Palpatine, Ahsoka and the only person who hasn’t come
back is Mace Windu.
Until…now…possibly…might be wrong…might be a wrong fan theory but bear with us.
Now Samuel L Jackon’s stock in Hollywood has only risen since Revenge of The Sith and
though he was popular beforehand he’s consistently stayed a big name.
Since he last appeared as Windu both the Marvel and Star Wars franchises have been bought
by Disney meaning you know like corporate synergy or something.
During Star Wars Celebration in 2017 the actor said: "We all know Jedi can fall from incredible
heights and survive, so apparently, I am not dead.
Yes, I have two appendages right now, but we know the long and rich history of Star
Wars characters reappearing with new appendages".
Since 2017 Jackson has doubled down on this further by saying he wants to return.
It’s a pretty safe bet that a Jedi was the one who saved Grogu from the temple but he
has forgotten due to the trauma of the events.
I would love to see Windu save Grogu and though I don’t think he necessarily made it out
of Coruscant, seeing him go out in a blaze of glory would be an awesome send off for
the character.
Cobb Vanth still alive
Now in Episode 6 we opened with The Marshall, Cobb Vanth…vanth refrigeration.
At the end we saw him be shot by Cad Bane and though it initially seemed like he was
dead, I do think that he’s alive.
If you watch the scene Bane looks to have shot him in the shoulder and the Freetown
folk come out and shout for a medic.
Cad Bane is far too good of a shot to simply just keep him alive accidentally and I think
that this is an intimidation tactic.
This was too mirrored in Cobb himself who at the start of the episode was happy leaving
one of the Pykes alive as it would send a message.
Cad killed the deputy and likely left Cobb breathing so that he’d think about it before
rallying freetown together to help Boba.
It would make sense for Vanth to be left alive to tell the tale to Mando, making this a personal
bantha beef and setting up a high moon duel between Boba, Mando and Cad bane.
We know that the series cribs highly from westerns and having their showdown follow
this manner would keep things inline with that.
Now The question that remains is how long has Cad Bane been working for the Pykes?
We explored in our Cad Bane Explainer video that there were unfinished Clone Wars episodes
that showed Cad and Boba working together leading to a fall out and duel.
It is possible this is canon as in The Bad Batch, Cad Bane had a plate on his head which
wasn’t there in the main series.
If Bane had been working for the Pykes for a while, he could have started when their
first shipment was threatened and Boba demanded payment.
We know that the Tuskens who took Boba in were killed by a biker gang but that seemed
unlikely considering how tough the Tuskens were.
It could have been a false flag with Cad pinning the blame on the bikers and this would further
tie into their rivalry.
Killing the tuskens would be a big No-ba fett and I think that it might be revealed that
Bane was the one who slaughtered the women and children.
Qi’Ra
While the show has morphed into Madalorian Season 2.5 the core of the series has really
been about Boba Fett staking his claim as a crime lord.
He has come into direct conflict with The Pyke Syndicate and you may remember from Solo
A Star Wars Story.
They are making a fortune running Spice on the planet basically dune what they want and
it’s clear they’re ready to kill anyone, including Madam Garsa, just to keep the spice
flowing.
This could be a prelude to a possible continuation of the ending of Solo and the finale may bring
Qi’Ra back.
At the end of Solo, she was asked to bring the First Light ship to Dathomir where she
and Maul would closely together.
While a Solo sequel is yet to materialise, this story progressed in the superb Marvel
Star Wars comics and went on to control Crimson Dawn.
Now She has come into conflict with Boba before and during the War of the Bounty Hunters storyline
Qi’Ra was the head of Crimson Dawn, having stolen Han Solo in Carbonite from Boba.
During Crimson Reign after the War of the Bounty Hunters Qi-Ra went on an anti-empire
tear to destabilise them after being trained by Maul.
Add to this we can also hear some notes from the Crimon Dawn soundtrack in the theme of
the show.
You don’t get much more subtle than that and it would be great to see Emilia Clarke
reprise her role with her having history with Boba AND the Pykes in it.
In Crimson Reign, she captured a young girl who looks strikingly similar to a slightly
older Omega and has a red headband that could be in honour of Hunter.
If she is manipulating the Pyke Syndicate from the shadows then using Boba’s ‘Sister’
would be one shocking way to do it and I’d love to see her back.
Why Grogu will choose to go with mando - doesn’t actually need the training he just needs to
remember, Ben is classed as the first student
Now Episode 6 was a gruelling entry that tugged at the heartstrings as Mando decided to leave
Grogu to complete his training.
We got a good look at the fundamental differences between The Mandalorians and The Jedi in this
episode especially.
The former are loyal to the core following their creed whereas The Jedi must leave their
past behind and form a connection solely to the force.
Grogu is stuck between both worlds but can only choose one of these two ways of life.
Wait hold on, I thought only the Sith deal in absolutes?
Anyway He ws offered either the armour made for him or Yoda's old lightsabre as a symbol
of the path that is ahead of him.
Though it ended the episode on a cliffhanger, if we look at the expanded lore, we can figure
out with one that he chose.
In this scene Luke says ‘If you choose the lightsabre, you will be the first student
in my academy.’
However in the comic Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren Issue 3, kylo states that he was
the first.
If this is kept in continuity it means that Grogu did not choose the Lightsabre.
However Filoni has showed somewhat disregard for the comics as Yoda’s lightsaber was
destroyed in them by Darth Vader.
I do think that Grogu will choose to go back with Mando and there was a line that sorted
of hinted to him not even really needing the training.
Luke states at one point to Ahsoka that he’s not really learning things, he’s just remembering.
Grogu being a Mandalorian Jedi would also fit in very well with the story of Tarre Viszla
who was the first of them.
While Mando could be that, choice presented to Grogu is almost an impossible one and I
full him to say or gesture Why Not Both.
Considering Kylo did say he was the first student, it would indicate that Grogu chose
to return to his adopted dad.
This would allow him to ride in the space on the N1 Starfighter but it would also go
beyond that.
Mando has been unable to weild the darksaber because he's clearly distracted by Grogu and
thus them being reunited I think will make the weapon lighter for him as he'll be more
focused.
Boba Fett riding a rancor
One plot point that has been quietly brewing is the Rancor that was given to Boba by the
hutts.
While we didn’t expect him to ride the Rancor right away, this moment is clearly being saved
for a final battle.
Training Rancors to riding them is nothing new to Star Wars with The Witches of Dathomir
having ridden them which was given lip service to by Danny Trejo.
On top oif this he provided some lore about the Rancors and how while they are bred for
fighting, they can be quite loving and be incredibly loyal.
These mirrors Boba Fett being a clone.
He and his clone brothers were born for battle and that was that.
However, over the course of the Star Wars media, we see how the clones actually built
personalities and formed tight bonds with each other.
When he takes the Rancor and rides it, he has fully become himself, not what others
perceive him like a clone or Bounty Hunter but who he has chosen to live as.
Riding the Rancor is also symbolic, showing his dominance and taming a wild beast just
like he will need to tame the symbol of the Mythosaur if he’s to take back Mandalore.
Han Solo
Now With Cad Bane and possibly Qi-Ra being blasts from the past for Boba who else could
come back?
The most obvious answer would be Han Solo.
While the other two have been expanded outside of the main sagas, Boba taking in Han Solo
successfully was a huge moment in the original trilogy and this set up their rivalry.
If Han somehow returns to Star Wars using the same magic that was used on Mark Hamill’s
likeness then it would be something else to see as Harrison Ford is probably the biggest
actor to come out of the saga.
I say probably…definitely.
This kinda ties into my next theory which is that Luke, Han and Leia will be united
on screen together for one final time.
One thing we never got in the sequel trilogy was the trio reunited and I think it would
massively elevate the series if it gave us an image of them back together.
Han and Leia might even bring their young son Ben with them and just in the same way
we saw Luke’s academy being built we could also get a tease of it’s downfall if they
arrive with the young child.
Lastly I’d love for the show to pick from one of the big moments in the legends series.
In A Barve Like that we watched as Boba Fett climbed out the Sarlaac and he went out in
the galaxy to get revenge on Han Solo.
Over the series Han fought Boba and eventually knocked him back into the Sarlaac pit which
is where the character died.
Would just be pretty funny to see him wind up back there and probably the biggest troll
way for the show to finish.
Anyway that’s the video, had to end on the worst theory we had but I hope you enjoyed
the full breakdown.
I do think that Fett will be allowed to remain on tattooine because it’s better the devil
you know and the republic might want someone respectful running the crime syndicates there
rather than the Hutts or Pykes.
