Odd 'Star Wars' Theory Could Explain Boba's Apparent Weakness In First Few Episodes
The main criticism of Boba Fett in The Book of Boba Fett has been how the titular character is irreconcilable with the Boba Fett we got to know in the original trilogy (and specifically in The Empire Strikes Back). Our new Boba is magnanimous, compassionate, and (gasp) a humanitarian. He even has a soft spot for a Rancor – although, in fairness, who hasn't wanted to scratch a Rancor’s cheek and tease it like a puppy? But one of the biggest problems, apparently, is Boba’s fighting prowess. Or lack of.

New Report States Bo-Katan Series May Be In The Works
Star Wars: The Clone Wars birthed many new and interesting characters over its seven-year run, primarily due to the creative teams, led by George Lucas and Dave Filoni. Each of these new characters, like Hondo Ohnaka, Ahsoka Tano, Master Sinube, Asajj Ventress, and Cad Bane, went on to appear in other stories and media. But only two have earned their own streaming series. Ahsoka will begin streaming on Disney+ late in 2022. Also, according to recent reports, Bo-Katan will be joining Ahsoka with her own series with actress Katie Sackoff reprising her leading role.

‘Book Of Boba Fett’ Suggests Luke Would Not Have Survived Had He Remained On Tatooine
We are four weeks into The Book of Boba Fett, and it would appear as though fans of the show are struggling to enjoy the series for what it is, a space western told by the seemingly unbreakable Jon Favreau. The new cowboys of the Disney era have had success with The Mandolorian and wish to catch lightning in a bottle again. However, reception of the series has devolved into a weekly nit-pick to help soothe the ache that the series is not firing on all cylinders. Fans who have enjoyed the success of Marvel’s What If...? are also playing their own version with the Star Wars universe with the latest involving Luke Skywalker and his home planet of Tatooine.

Could This Fan Favorite Legends Character Be Made Canon Through ‘The Mandalorian’ Or ‘Book Of Boba Fett’?
Season 2 of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian introduced the Darksaber of the Mandalorian culture. This made the story of the Mandalorian and the Jedi even more critical. Questions arose about where the Darksaber came from. The creator of the Darksaber, Terra Vizsla, was the first Mandalorian to become a Jedi. He was not the only Jedi to wear Mandalorian armor, however. The most famous Jedi to wear Mandalorian armor was actually Darth Revan. The Star Wars fan base might recall Darth Revan from the popular video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and the Dark Horse comics Knights of the Old Republic #42.

Did Book Of Boba Fett Make A Deleted 'A New Hope' Scene Canon?
Scenes are deleted from movies for all sorts of reasons: time constraints, they're tonally inconsistent (with the rest of the film), pacing, they take the story in a different direction, or they're incomplete. But here's a question: how many deleted scenes have you seen that you felt should've remained in the movie?

Why You Need Permission To Kill A Hutt Explained
The Book of Boba Fett already has Star Wars fans riveted to their screens. While the first three episodes, so far, are not showing too much action, we do certainly get a sense of Boba Fett’s past since crawling out of the Sarlacc pit. The questions that have plagued fans since we found out that Boba Fett had survived the Sarlacc are being answered. In addition, some intriguing new politics are coming into play.

10 Things You Didn't Know About The Tusken Raiders
From their first appearance in 1977, the Tusken Raiders have been a mysterious group laying ancestral claim to the less populated parts of Tatooine, such as the Jundland Wastes and the Dune Sea.

With their recent character expansion in The Book of Boba Fett, it is high time that the Tuskens receive an in-depth look at what we know of them so far.
