That saarlaac would have also died all the wreckage fallling into it


No?
A krayt dragon killed it.

I was thinking the saarlaac probably chewed it off him?
Then how did the Jawas acquire it?

At this point the far more interesting story world be that he does not want it back, that he in fact sold it and is ready for a new identity beyond the armor.

But I have to believe that's not where we're going. Favs will need to keep playing with his Boba Fett action figure.

Some great theorizing in here, but, I'm not really sure I'm a fan of taking something that I thought I'd known for forty years and saying, "ah, no, well, see, actually, wha ha happa was".

I know, I know...expanded universe and all, but, I kinda knew when I was a teenager that the novels/comics I was reading were Elseworlds stories that didn't truly come from Lucas, and he only really "approved" a certain amount of it (moreso early on), so it was, "Oh, he escaped the Sarlacc? Sure, whatever." It was merely fun, what-if, alternate universe fodder.

Now, the fan-fic theorizing seems to be showing up more and more in official cannon. Don't get me wrong, in some ways, it can be neat (krayt dragon pearl!), while in others, it can really start to feel a bit lame.

I do adore what Filoni has done for Star Wars. Filling in gaps in time, background, fleshing out unexplored spaces in the time-line; that stuff is great. At the same time, there are a ton of Mandalorians in the galaxy, and much backstory to explore....Do we REALLY need Boba Fett? Do we have to further contract this vast universe with every nod, easter egg, and cameo?

I know there's merchandising to wrench out of these characters, but, can we please, once in a while, let dead mean dead? Cripes, man!

Yeah, there's much to like about this show. But I'm ready to move on from sandbox nostalgia.

No?
Why do we think the barge exploded there?

the krayt dragon spewed it out from the mountain tops

Im not getting the whole ¨this is fan fiction¨ angle here. Its way better done than in everything JJ did. Do we need Fett coming back? no, but i also dont feel this show is essential at all.

That's probably why you don't see it the same way. I don't see this show as more of less essential than the rest.

If you're a fan of old Star Wars video games, you're gonna love the second half.
The only one I ever played was Shadows of the Empire. I fucking loved that game.

Yeah. Finished it earlier. Great episode. I hope we haven’t seen the last of Olyphant.

Fantastic. They are very good at filming action scenes. They are so captivating.

Fan Service? Meh. You might just know too much about Star Wars if that stuff bothers you watching that episode.

This might be important.
Where is this in the timeline in relation to bloodline?(the book)
Cara Dube was in the rebellion, why isn’t she still (republic has been established?)
She would definitely know of Luke skywalker and she would know the magic sorcerers weren’t a myth and could tell mando that.
