Hey everybody and welcome to Leia’s Lair.
Today’s video will go over some theories on how Boba Fett survived the sarlacc pit.
The fluid nature of Star Wars canon over the years has allowed there to be many theories
on how Boba Fett escaped.
The first theory we will go over comes from a short story called A Barve Like That: THe
Tale of Boba Fett which appeared in Tales from Jabba’s Palace.
The story goes that Boba wakes up inside the Sarlacc and via the sarlacc he makes a telepathic
connection to Susejo, the first of its victims.
Inside the Sarlacc, for some time Fett is immobilized and his armor is heavily damaged
by the creature's digestive system.
He learns that Susejo can exert some control over the Sarlacc.
He goads Susejo, making the Sarlacc contract around his jetpack.
The resulting explosion frees the bounty hunter from the Sarlacc's grasp.
He then fires concussion grenades into the wall of the beast, blowing a hole in its interior.
Boba Fett escapes the Sarlacc, which like him is badly injured but still alive.
The next theory and arguably the most silly comes from the Star Wars parody comic book
series Tag and Bink are Dead #2 about two inept rebel officers Tag and Bink who get
separated from the rest of the rebels.
They make it to Yavin 4, where they come into contact with Boba Fett.The bounty hunter and
the Rebels engage in a brief firefight, and – through sheer dumb luck – Tag and Bink
manage to knock the infamous Boba Fett unconscious.
Taking advantage of the situation, Tag and Bink leave Boba Fett tied up and decide to
steal his ship’s fuel.
Boba is understandably furious at the indignity and swears vengeance.
He manages to track them down on Tatooine during the events of Return of the Jedi.
In revenge, the bounty hunter ties Tag and Bink to a pole and kick them into the Sarlacc’s
Great Pit of Carkoon.
Instead of instantly dying, however, Tag and Bink end up dangling on the pole, which gets
wedged in the Sarlacc’s gullet.
Five days later, Luke Skywalker engages in his battle with Boba Fett and Jabba’s guards
as he attempts to rescue Han Solo from being thrown into the Sarlacc Pitt.
Inside the pit, Tag and Bink see several guards fall into the Sarlacc’s mouth and grumble
that it would take a jet pack to get them out of the pit.
At that moment, Boba Fett’s dislodged jet pack falls right into the pit, followed by
Fett himself – screaming like a little girl.
Using the pack, Tag and Bink manage to escape the pit along with Boba Fett and then make
a new deal – in exchange for not disclosing that Boba Fett screams like a girl and got
beaten by a blind man, Fett will let the two live.
Hoping to put the embarrassing incident behind him, Fett runs off.
Another theory, which originally comes from Dark Empire, a Dark Horse comic series sees
Boba Fett fall into the sarlacc pit, but his armor was too strong for the sarlacc and he
was able to fight his way out.
In his words he says that the sarlacc found him indigestible.This theory was expanded
on in the Mandalorian Armor by K.W.
Jeter.
It further explains how Boba was found by another bounty hunter called Dengar who nursed
him back to health.
The final theory we can assume based off of the events of the first episode of season
2 of the Mandalorian is that somehow Boba managed to drag himself out of the Sarlacc
pit.
It's possible he was badly injured by its digestive juices and thus forced to leave
his armor behind.
It was then found by the jawas who raided the badly injured sarlacc for treasure, and
sold it to Cobb Vanth.
Whatever the truth is, I am sure we will find out soon in the Mandalorian and we cannot
wait!
And there you have it!
Thanks for watching everyone.
