As fennec brings back the assassin that she captured, the door opened like it did for Luke in return of the Jedi. We find out the assassin is part of a night wind clan, who are high level assassins who were in power under the hutts. They’re gun for hires. After being fooled into thinking he would be eaten by a Rancor, he gives it up that the Mayor sent him to kill Boba.
Boba and Fennec travel to Mos Espa and barge into the Mayor’s quarters, where the assassin is killed, as the Mayor says he can’t operate outside of Hutt space, and since the Hutt’s don’t rule Tatooine anymore, this is an illegal act, shooting him. The Mayor, an ithorian species, and who’s name is mok shaiz, assures Boba that he has no motive to kill him, so it wasn’t him. Boba asserts his position as Daimyo and that the Mayor only continues to live because he wills it. The Mayor’s mok shaiz, tribute is advice, that running a family is more difficult than being a bounty hunter. I think what he means by this is that being a crime lord is more difficult than bounty hunting.
He sends him to Garza’s sanctuary, and when Boba gets there, he finds out from Madame Garza that the Hutt’s have reclaimed Tatooine. The cousins of Jabba, twins.
Boba doesn’t believe it. As we hear drums and the nearing of the Hutt twins, everyone including max Reebok and his band stop in their tracks.
As the twins arrive, carried by wee quays, they tell boba that Tatooine is now theirs. Boba doesn’t care, and stands his ground, then the hutts laugh and black krrsantan walks up to stare boba down. Black Krrsantan is the most vicious wookie known to the galaxy. He’s a feared bounty hunter and much more dangerous than Boba Fett, physically. Trandoshans and Wookies have a long rivalry with each other, and so it makes me wonder if Boba will team up with Bossk sometime in the show to fight Black Krrsantan. I’ll make a few videos on Black all by himself, as he’s a monster and has had run ins with Vader, Obi-Wan, and more.
As Boba heads back to his bacta, the rest of the episode is his flashback during return of the Jedi and it’s really the most beautiful bit of Star Wars I’ve seen. It was so heartfelt, mystic, heroic, and moving.
Boba is training with the gaffi stick as the tusken is teaching him. Proper training scene, I love seeing the progression happen.
I think the tusken he’s learning from is a woman, and he might develop a relationship with, perhaps she dies in a fight later on and Boba goes berserk or something.
The tuskers are ambushed by a speeding train that shoots at them. These are the pyke syndicate, they were prominent in the clone wars for selling spice. Spice was a drug that sold for a lot of money, and it was mined in corelliia. Boba realizes how he can take the train down, as that night he sees those weequays riding on speeders through the desert, the same ones collecting the water from the moisture farmers in book of Boba Fett episode 1. Boba needs those speeders, so he tracks them down and we end up at tosche station. This is pretty awesome because this is where Luke hung out as a teenage with his friends, and it’s what we hear him say in episode 4 about his power converters. From the deleted scene in a new hope we see that the structure and and interior is the same, this is great continuity. The two people being picked on are actually Luke’s friends, cammie and fixer.
Boba takes them out like the terminator took out the bikers in the bar, and stole their bikes as mentioned in last night’s watch party.
He heads back the tuskens and teaches them how to ride. As they eventually ambush the train and take out the pykes in a massive all out battle.
