So, the time has finally come… we’re now getting close enough to the release of the
Book of Boba Fett where the leaks, rumours and speculation have begun to swing into full
force.
And with that, we have the first round of leaks for the Episode titles of the series,
and honestly they sound very, very interesting, and will probably tie into a lot of other
star wars content.
So, lets break down all of the episode titles and what they could mean for the Book of boba
fett.
So before we dive into it, make sure you’re subscribed for more awesome Star Wars Lore
content.
And before we break down the first title, just remember that these are leaks and could
be wrong, or even changed by Lucasfilm at any time.
So the first title is very exciting and is Chapter 17: The Champion.
Right off the bat, it’s pretty interesting that they’re continuing on with the chapter
numbers from the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2.
This immediaely tells us that the Book of Boba Fett is a clear continuation of the main
Mandalorian storyline, and wont be deviating as much from the rest of the series as we
previously thought.
It also pretty much hints that we might be seeing a lot more Din Djarin than we expected,
especially now that Grogu is off training to be a Jedi With luke skywalker.
“The Champion” could be referring to a lot of things, but the first that comes to
mind is that the episode will probably start off with Boba Fett fighting against a huge
number of contenders, each one of them trying to take Jabba’s throne.
Obviously, Boba Fett is going to come out on top, probably with the help of Fennec Shand,
and he will hold his claim to Jabba’s palace…
At this point, he’ll probably also continue running a lot of Jabba’s criminal operations,
rising to become one of the most ruthless and prominent crime lords in the galaxy.
On top of that, in the recent War of the Bounty Hunters line of comics, Boba Fett fought in
a gladiator tournament on Nar Shaddaa under his father’s name Jango while on the hunt
for Han Solo’s carbonite frozen body, coming out on top as the renowned champion…
Since we already have confirmation that the Book of Boba Fett will be tying directly into
this comic series, there might also be a small.
little tie in here.
And that leads us to the next episode title.
Episode 2 is called “Chapter 18: The Assassin”.
Again, this could mean many things, but the first and most obvious is that Boba Fett’s
reign on the throne is going to be challenged in some way, and an elite assassin is going
to be sent after him.
There are many huge name bounty hunters that this could be, like 4-Lom, Zuckuss, Dengar
and Bossk, but arguably the best choice of the job and one that us fans would love is
Cad Bane.
We now know from Star Wars: The Bad Batch that he did actually survive his confrontation
with Boba Fett during the final days of the Clone Wars, and although Boba Managed to blast
Bane right in the head, he now has a cybernetic metal plate there, seemingly repairing most
of the damage, and allowing him to get right back into the bounty hunting game.
The book of Boba Fett itself if the absolute perfect place for a bounty like cad bane show
up, considering he’s pretty much the embodient of an old western bounty hunter, and we know
that the series is definitely going to have that western feel.
On top of that, Rober Rodriguez, who’s showrunning for the series has said that it’s going
to be all killer, no filler…
So that is making me very excited.
Now moving on to episode 3, we have chapter 19 “The Syndicate”.
This one likely continues on from Boba taking Jabba’s throne and continuing to run his
own syndicate from Jabba’s former position.
He’ll likely have a stranglehold on much of the criminal activity going on in the galaxy,
including the deepest and darkest levels of Coruscant’s underworld.
Another interesting point is that it could actually also relate to a power struggle between
Boba’s new criminal operation and the crimson dawn crime syndicate, which is being run by
Qi’ra after the death of Darth Maul to Obi-wan Kenobi on Tatooine.
The war of the bounty hunter series brings Qi’ra back into the Star Wars Canon, since
her last major appearance in Solo: A Star Wars Story, and it ties deeply into Boba fett
and his mission to bring Han Solo back to Jabba.
If you want to catch up on that series, I have a playlist linked in the description
where you can enjoy the story.
Following that, we have another interesting episode title, “Chapter 20: the battleground”.
This one could simply be some gangland rivalry between Boba Fett’s syncicate and the others,
like the Pykes or the black sun, but it could also be a flashback to his father Jango’s
origin.
Temeura MOrrison himself has confirmed that there will be flashbacks in the show, so maybe
we’re going to see some of the events of the Jango: Fett Open season comic play out,
where Jango and his mentor Jaster Mereel fought against the fierce Death Watch.
Either way, let me know what you think “The Battleground” could mean in the comments
below.
Now after that, we have probably the most exciting episode title on the list, being
Chapter 21, “The Homeworld”.
Now i’m sure you already know where this one is going, but if this episode title is
legit, it would appear that we might be returning to Kamino, which is obviously the homeworld
of Boba Fett.
Obviously there is tons and tons of history with Kamino, from the birth of Boba Fett,
to the Clone Army’s creation, to years of training and improvements to the cloning process,
so Kamino would be a very important place to explore in the post-endor time period.
On top of tha, we’ve already seen the Mandalorian begin to connect to Palpatine’s cloning
plans, with the tanks Navarro looking suspiciously like Snoke.
The Bad Batch has also given us hints towards that, including on Kamino, so it wouldn’t
surprise me at all if the book of boba fett continues that trend and bridges the gap closer
towards Palpatine’s ultimate plan.
Next up is Chapter 22, “The Warlord”.
This episode title could be referring to Moff Gideon himself, since the leaders of imperials
remnants post the battle of Endor are pretty much just warlords at this point, commanding
residual stormtrooper units from befor the Empire fell.
We know that the show will be a direct continuation of the main mandalorian story, but focusing
on Boba Fett, so having Moff Gideon appear in the show is definitely possible.
If this is about Moff Gideon, since we know flashbacks are on the table, we could finally
get a reason for why Moff Gideon was believed to have been executed by the empire by Mando
and pretty much the rest of the galaxy at that time...
It’s pretty unlikely that they’ll keep him locked up for the whole series, just to
bring him back in the Mandalorian, so I think it’s pretty likely he shows up and comes
face to face with Boba Fett at some point during the show, even if it’s just in the
name of crushing the criminal organisations of the galaxy.
This one could also simply be referring to another criminal leader who Boba considers
a warlord, and will then have a huge conflict with.
It’s hard to say just yet, but i’m sure we’ll find out more when the trailers begin
to drop, hopefully not too far from now.
After that we have episode 7, which will be called “Chapter 23”, the Showdown.
This could be one of Boba Fett’s old Rivals coming back to face him and either resolve
some old beef, or to challenge his claim to the throne of Jabba’s palace.
The first one that obviously comes to mind is again Cad Bane, since they of course had
the huge western stannd off at the end of the Clone Wars, and if Boba ever finds out
directly that Cad Bane survived the encounter, then he’s definitely going to want to resolve
that unfinished business…
most likely with another western standoff, which fits perfectly in the Book of Boba Fett.
Other than that, it could also be another crime lord trying to operate in Boba Fett’s
territory, ultimately leading to a showdown between him, fennec and the other crime lord.
And for the final episode of the series, episode 8, we have the title “Chapter 24”, the
Hunter.
This is a small surprise by itself, as most people have been predicting that the series
will only last a total of 6 episodes, to make room for the variety of othe content coming
in 2022, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, which has already finished filming, the Casian andor
series, which will run for 12 weeks, the 3rd season of the mandalorian, and the Bad Batch
season 2.
I’m definitely not complaining if the series does happen to go for an extra 2 episodes,
as im sure they’re going to be action packed and full of lore, continuing to push boba
fett’s story forward.
Now “the hunter” could really refer to anything, but if we’re going by the Mandalorian
tradition of having a big character reveal in the final episode, this could end up being
where Din Djarin appears in the series, in the unlikely case that he doesn’t show up
earlier, maybe having to turn on his former ally and hunt down Boba for some greater power.
It could again be another reference to Cad Bane, if the other episodes don’t feature
him, but that’s much less likely as it would imply that a season 2 of Book of Boba is coming,
which we haven’t had confirmed yet.
Other than that, it could be an imperial remnant hunter going after Boba, someone other than
MOff Gideon, who is sent on the hunt.
Either way, it’s probably going to be someone we already know of, either from the movies,
tv shows or comics, just to give us that traditional last episode treat.
So let me know down below what you think of these titles, and how legit you think they
all are.
I’m really looking forward to the book of boba fett, and I hope it can help to pull
star wars out of this dead period that we’ve been in for quite a while now, and bring everyone
back to the hype.
Thanks so much for watching, really hope you enjoyed the video.
