With the book of Boba Fett SEason 1 episode 1 airing in under 24 hours and promising to
show the rise of Boba Fett as the Galaxy’s most respectable crime lord, there is so much
potential for huge character reveals, familiar faces and connections to the other star wars
stories being told right now in the books and comics…
Things like Crimson Dawn and connections to the black sun fit perfectly in the show and
would really connect Boba’s new empire to the rest of the Galaxy.
So we’re going to break down 7 predictions for Book of Boba Boba Fett which could happen
throughout the series!
And before we dive in, make sure you’re subscribed to be notified as soon as I drop
more Book of Boba content all throughout the series…
So for number 1 we have the Current leader of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate after
the death of Maul and Dryden Vos, Qi’ra.
Right now in the ongoing comic trilogy of War of the Bounty Hunters, Crimson Reign and
The Hidden Empire we’re witnessing the Rise of Qi’ra and how she took control of Crimson
Dawn after Maul’s demise at the hands of Obi-wan Kenobi on the sands of Tatooine in
Star Wars Rebels.
We get a deep glimpse at how she learned the ways of the Dark Side from Darth Maul despite
not being force sensitive herself, and using that knowledge to announce the Return of the
Dawn to the Galaxy.
The authors of the comic line have already confirmed that War of the Bounty Hunters is
a mini prequel to the Book of Boba Fett and I’d say it’s pretty likely we’ll get
some flashbacks to the events of that series, considering how intertwined they are with
Boba Fett’s original trilogy story as he transported Han Solo’s carbonite frozen
body back to Jabba.
Boba actually lost Han’s body on the way back to Tatooine after Empire Strikes Back,
leading to Qi’ra getting hold of it and using it as a statement to the Galaxy that
Crimson Dawn is back.
In the Crimson Reign Series, Qi’ra begins a quest to take down Darth Sidious and Darth
Vader, hoping to rule the galaxy as a crime syndicate…
So this makes her the perfect villain to show up and challenge Boba Fett’s claim to territory
and his stake as the top crime lord.
The only major thing going against her showing up is that in the Crimson Reign Comic, the
story is being told from the future and the person telling the story, known as the Archivist
believes this is the fall of Crimson Dawn…
So Qi’ra could well be dead before the Book of Boba fett…
But then again, the third comic line in the series is called Hidden Empire, so maybe crimson
dawn is forced to go back into the shadows again and fight boba from the darkness…
and strangely the second issue of the Crimson Reign series isn’t releasing until the final
week of the Book Of Boba Fett, later than its usual schedule.
So definitely check out my video on Crimson Reign issue #1 for the full story!
Either way, Qi’ra is a perfect enemy for boba and I’d love to see her in the show.
After that, there is a very big possibility that we see the man himself, Cad Bane return
to take on his staunch Enemy Boba Fett.
We know from a Clone Wars deleted scene that near the end of the Clone Wars, Boba Fett
became fed up with Cad Bane’s horrific and brutal practices when dealing with hostages
and he challenged him to a western standoff to settle the debate.
The standoff was tense and both fired their weapons with precise timing, but ultimately
Boba Fett came out on top putting a blaster bolt right into Cad Bane’s head… and another
one went right into his own helmet… this is actually where he gets his famous helmet
dent from which sticks with him all the way up to the Mandalorian Season 2.
Now a direct shot to the skull would kill pretty much anyone else, but as we know from
the Bad Batch, Cad Bane miraculously survived the ordeal and now has a cybernetic patch
on his head in the exact place he was shot, returning him to full function.
So because we know that the duel has already happened and that Cad Bane is still in the
bounty hunting game during the time of the Empire from the Bad Batch, I’d say it’s
a pretty good bet that we’ll see him appear in the Book of Boba Fett.
Not to mention, Cad Bane is literally the perfect character type to show in in the series
as that classic western gunslinger type guy!
I think we could even see them have a rematch of the western standoff from the end of the
Clone Wars, but this time the scores will be settled… permanently.
Most likely with Cad Bane finally dying after a long and legendary bounty hunting career.
Following that, I think there’s a good chance that Prince Xizor of the Black Sun Crime Syndicate
shows up.
For those of you who don’t know, Prince Xizor is an infamous Faleen Prince and was
considered not only one of the top crime lords of the Galaxy but even one of the most influential
beings in the entire galaxy, appearing in the Shadows of the Empire multimedia project.
He was the head of the Black Sun Criminal syndicate and was very capable of traversing
the underworld and the Galaxy’s high society.
This infamous crime lord was literally just brought back into canon only a few weeks ago
with the Crimson Reign Comic series and he’s confirmed to be an active member of the Black
Sun during Qi’ra’s rule of Crimson Dawn.
He was actually already canon through a salad at galaxy’s edge, but for being in an actual
story, he just came back!
This makes him a perfect candidate to show up in the book of boba fett, either as a rival
to Fett or as a surprise ally.
Most likely though, the Black Sun under Xizor’s command is not going to willingly give up
territory to Boba Fett, so they’ll probably get into a heated turf war resulting in huge
bloodshed.
Now next is an absolutely massive call and is one that will get a lot of people hyped
if it does end up panning out.
That is Han Solo.
This one is more based on rumors and leaks than anything making sense for the criminal
underworld story, but there have been many reports that Han Solo will show up at Maz
Kanata’s castle where he will either confront Boba Fett or have some type of communcation
wit him.
We really don’t have too many detail on it, but I think this is very possible and
it does make a lot of sense since Boba Holds Han directly responsible for his horrific
fall into the sarlacc pit.
Next up is Dengar.
I’ll actually be really surprised if Dengar DOESN’T show up since he’s such a core
part of Boba’s life and in the original Legends story, Dengar Actually rescued Boba
From the Sarlacc pit after he blew up his jetpack inside of it.
I think this time in the Canon version, it’ll be pretty different but Dengar will likely
still show up to team up with Boba… or fight against him.
There is actually some mounting evidence that Dengar is the man Rothgar Deng who was seen
in the Rise of Skywalker, instantly telling us that Dengar survives all the way through
to the time of the resistance.
It is said that Dengar was forced to augment himself with cybernetics and other equipment
to keep himself alive and we can see that it resulted in a horrid abomination…
So maybe in the book of Boba Fett we’ll get to see exactly what caused him to need
those cybernetics, if it wasn’t just him aging.
But either way I’ll have a full video on Dengar’s descent into Rothgar Deng coming
soon, so make sure you’re subscribed for that!
After that, I think there’s a pretty good chance we see Omega, the Sister of Boba Fett
show up.
We honestly don’t know that much about her since the Bad Batch is still an ongoing series,
but we do know that she was created as an unaltered Clone of Jango Fett, except of course
for being female.
Obviously this connects her very closely to Boba Fett and by the time of the series, she’ll
probably be either a very skilled bounty hunter or have some sort of involvement with the
Mandalorian restoration movement being led by bo Katan.
The only thing pointing against her showing up is that it would pretty much spoil any
tense ending for the Bad Batch series, since we would know that she survives the show.
The next prediction isn’t a character or plot prediction specifically, but I think
we’ll see an absolute ton of flashbacks in the series, telling the tale of Boba Fett’s
life.
It is called the Book of Boba Fett after all!
We already know from the current trailers and TV spots that we’ll have at least one
flashback to his escape from the sarlacc pit and what happened immediately after.
We know he travels to Tosche station from the trailers and we’ll likely even see the
moment he kills Bib Fortuna again.
As for other flashbacks, we’ll probably see his original western standoff with Cad
Bane, his fall into the sarlac, maybe even him bringing Han solo back to Jabba, which
we get an in depth look at in the comics.
We could also see Boba Fett’s point of view of the death of his Father Jango on Geonosis,
which could inspire him to think more about heritage and the fight to take back mandalore
which is currently ongoing.
This would then tie the series to the Mandalorian Season 3 and leave us with a great connecting
point, before season 3 starts.
And finally, I’ve gotta put this one in here just in case it happens even though it
most likely won’t and probably shouldn’t.
If there is going to be any show that brings Mace Windu back from the dead, this would
be the one to do it because of his obvious connection with Boba.
Now I really don’t think Mace should be brought back at this point unless it’s done
very carefully and very well, but if you’re going to do it, he has to come face to face
with boba.
Mace Windu literally killed his father and boba has certainly never forgotten that day,
holding a grudge throughout the Clone Wars, all the way up till now.
So those are my predictions for Star Wars The book of Boba Fett season 1!
