It blows my mind that the ridiculously uninteresting and jarring mod gang got so much screen time in this series when that could have been filled by cad bane. Strange decision
@@myaccount__7269 It's a bad appeal though. It's the same as Lucas thinking children need children in films to relate. Children don't relate to other children in films. They relate to Luke, Leia, Mando, etc. No teenagers in 2022 are going to be awed my out-of-place 1950's aesthetics.
I agree, the mod gang was awful and the chase scene with the mayors spokesman was the worst scene so far in all of the new series since the Mandalorian came out. My 12 year old daughter made fun of it and actually asked "why do those stupid people need so many mirrors?"
I liked Cad Bane in the show, but I had 2 problems 1.) Remove him from the show and nothing changes. Most events would play out nearly the same 2.) It feels like he was only brought back for shock value and just to have a conclusion to his story
I would have to disagree As I think adding cad bane made the series much better thanks to fan service. If he wasn’t in this series and it was replaced by someone like bossk,people wouldn’t like the series nearly as much.
If you remember right after cad bane died a device started beeping so I think that device might signal his ship or Droid and maybe his droid can revive him with like a bacta tank or a droid part replacing his wound.
My theory is this: We know Bane is rich rich, with all the bounties he has collected. I bet that the beeping sound was an insurance measure, and that it instantly placed a bounty on Boba fett with all of Cade’s net worth. Now, Boba will be tormented by the very thing he once was. He was the hunter now he will be the hunted. Boba would feel guilty, etc due to his realization how hell it is to be on the receiving end. I bet Bossk and Dengar will pick up on the bounty as there seems to be less high level bounties being offered post-empire.
I just rewatched the scene and I don't hear any beeping? As Boba steps off of Cad after impaling him, turns and starts to walk away there's a rhythmic ticking, almost like a metronome sound effect being played over the music, but I just interpreted that as something symbolic. Boba had been advised multiple times while facing Cad down earlier on to not let his emotions govern his response and to make the right play. I just took the metronome-esque ticking to be a sign of Boba's composure when it was needed and therefore growth of his character. He had all but resigned himself that it was all over and he was done for, but he centered himself, remembered the teachings of the tuskens and used a different, methodical newly learned form of close quarters combat to regain the upper hand at the last moment. I could be completely wrong on this, I just took the situation and sound effects used to be conveying a pivotal movement of character development. That said, like most I do hope there's more for Cad in live action, would be a waste to only have a brief appearance ✌🏻
@@aztec905 It is indeed hard to make out, as it is pretty faint. but i does sound like glitchy beep. i really do hope cad bane will return. but if that was indeed his final act, then i'll accept it.
Guys I've just watched it again really loud with some headphones on and still can't make out this beeping. Anyone want to do me a favour and watch the same scene. Does the supposed 'beeping' start literally between 13:52/51 seconds left of the episode?
I think he is still alive let me explain there was a lot of moding in this tv show and fenic survived and so did cod vanth so he could very well be alive
Apparently on his chest his heart monitor is still beeping, I'm not sure if it's that because it only starts to beep as soon as he gets impaled by boba
I don't think hes gonna to come back because the modding people work for boba and I doubt they would help cad bane plus it looked like boba stabbed him in the heart the only reason they modded Fenic and cod vanth is because they were both still barley alive
@@Pugmaster97 Also Bane’s finale shot was probably a homage and not trying to tease him coming back. To me the shot said “look here’s the body, so you people don’t think he’s still alive” like how so many think Mace is still alive
I don’t have any problem with his design or him dying. But his screentime was way to short. As you said: He should have been the main villain from the start or at least from mid-season. I actually like that boba killed him. The fight should just have been more intense. Boba felt very weak most of the time and just won by the good old „the bad guy waited too long“. Didn’t really do both of them justice
@@vinnie8792 But we have been with Cad more than we have with Boba, I get what you're saying but it does not make any sense. Also at this point Cad should know better and should have put up more a fight especially since he could hold his own against a jedi if not strategically coordinate an attacks to take one down(His fight with Obi-Wan and Vos)
I love Dave and Jon, and their work, but BoB was too tropey for me all around. It was hard to feel like the stakes were high when nobody ever died despite all odds. Cad got 4 minutes of screen time, Boba talked too much for a stoic type, his arc happened so quick (and through flashbacks) that it was just disorienting seeing him be all honorable and stuff. The Boba/Bane stuff relied on viewers not only watching the CW tv show, but also unreleased scenes from cut seasons, which is stupid, and I say that as someone who has seen them. They should have started the show with a younger adult Boba and Bane to help set the stage for the rushed ending we got. I love Luke, Grogu, Mando, etc., but it was like they were stuffing half of an Avengers Film into a single superhero movie (or the star wars equivalent).
I am pissed they took out Cad Bane. He could have been a recurring villain to both Boba and Mando. Wound him so he can “run away” but that also allows him to “fight another day” but don’t kill him off.
Don’t worry my guy he’s alive,yes he was stabbed in the gut. But if you listen you can hear his emergency life support beeping,and if you remember he has a extra pair of lungs anyways attached to his throat,they wouldn’t spend all that time making the costume and kill him off. Trust me.
I honestly think he's gonna be back. He's heavily modded. Even in clone wars he has tubes in his throat so he couldn't get force choked. They seem to be wanting Boba to be turning into a hero with the way they talk. I feel like maybe they'll use Cad as his nemesis and reminder of the killer he once was. As boba finds redemption, one of his mentors from childhood tries too kill him. Sounds cool. But idk if they'll pull it off or if I'm right
it definitely sounds Batman/Joker, but I got that vibe too, I don't think they'd bring Bane back just to kill him off, we'll see how it goes but my money is on him being alive
I'm sure they would have just left him in the street of their own town and not made sure he was dead and disposed of the body. Yep, I'm certain they are just that stupid.
I think the design is still good, and I agree that Bane was portrayed well, but his age is exactly why he shouldn’t survive. But I understand that people want to see more of him, the real drawback was not introducing bane in episode 5 and instead wasting it on Mandalorian
it wasn't wasted. Now Mandalorian can start it's season and go directly into the plot and it's also a great way to connect the stories. Now you have Mando and grogu immediately going off to do whatever it is they're doing, presumably running into trouble with the dark Saber and Bo Katan. This season is gonna be nuts. You guys take the shows for what they are at the time being and never look at the bigger picture and story as a whole which is what you're supposed to do.
@@maulok8441 I agree just like how people don't like how passive Boba is but if you remember the entire series is about how family makes you stronger this can be seen in the book of Boba fett as well as with luke and Vader in the originals.
i doubt hes dead, if you rewatch the scene his chest plate has a blinking red dot thats beeping. im pretty sure its his emergency life support activating. since he has that extra pair of lungs that connect to those tubes on his head
@@f.ggaming8206 yup exactly bro no way they’re gonna kill off a fan favorite character in two episodes. And there’s no way they had that zoom in on his dead body with the blinking and beeping for no reason.. it was probably to show that he’s still alive
@@yamanreese Those tubes on his head only serve as a defence against force chokes. But yeah, I think the beeping is his heart monitor, since he is extremely old for his species.
I loved the way he drifted in off the desert to Freetown. As soon as I saw the hat and coat I got chills. I knew who he was, i knew how dangerous he is, I knew what was going to ensue and I sat attentively staring at the screen and the sheer tensioned artistic way it was handled. The contrast between Cad being this larger than life hardened killer and the confrontatuonal deputy was night and day. You knew the deputy was going to do something stupid, you knew Vanth was now incredibly anxious as the deputy had no idea the scale of his error. This scene, this incredible moment of suspense would not have been the same if Cad was introduced earlier. I do like the idea of it being Cad who killed the Tuskens, but also idk if thats something you could hire someone of his caliber to do. Tuskens are regarded as savages and Cad specifically is comparable to a big game hunter targeting Jedi throughout his career where many other bounty hunters wouldn't even dare go against a force chosen. Cad was prepared for everything except a primitive attack from a feigning Fett. I think the whole thing was well done my real only complaint was how vibrantly blue his wrist devices were. Short of that I thought he did fantastic.
I feel like he was taken out too easily. He's a much better fighter and strategist than what we had seen, even at his old age. He rarely underestimated his opponents in his younger ages, and i would have expected him to be even wiser in his older age
This is what i think too. He used to fight some one as old good pal hando said "a bunch of crazy lunatic who waving glash flight" and still alive. Im not sure how he get defeated easily maybe he just getting old i guess.
The thing is, EVEN in the clone wars, Cad Bane was technically past his prime. Yes it's been 20+ years, but Cad was in his fifties during the clone wars, he was already an older guy.
True, YOU don’t know how this species ages and you don’t know how fit he is in this age. And he also didn’t know anything about bobas development with the Tuskens or that Boba can fight with the stick .. so for me it’s fine
he taught boba the ways of bounty hunting after the death of jango fett with the alterier motive of killing him later to proove his metal. ultimately the teacher beats the student at what he taught him, but looses to the students new found abilities that he didn't it was unexpected and bane is arrogent and jaded at this point, so ultimately it is poetic way for him to die.
Even though it was cool to see Mando and Luke train Grogu, 2 episodes having barely anything to do with Boba was a wrong move. 2 episodes could have been used tp build up Cad Bane and Boba's past and give Bane more to do. Show case his resourcefulness and how cruel he is. I hope we get to see more of Cad Bane in other shows.
Yeah, instead we just got the mandalorian season 2.5 for those episodes Don’t get me wrong, I loved the mandalorian and I liked the episodes, I just would have preferred them to be focused on stuff going on with boba
I definitely agree with this. Cad Bane would have been the perfect main antagonist in this series. They should have used him for the long run rather then 2 episodes. He’s such a great character.
Bane knew exactly where to hit Boba. Hits him multiple times which should have damn near destroyed Boba arm but he gets back flipping his gaffee stick around like no issue. Otherwise I agree with everything else.
@cablecow15 to me it looked like bane shot between the plates and that's why Bova went down. Otherwise I think he would have shrugged them off like din does when shot. Maybe?
@@evilcartmensolo7198 After watching the scene a few times frame-by-frame, I'd say 80% likelihood the first shot hit Boba's beskar. The sparks imply as much, but the bolt seems to fall right on the edge of his beskar plate. The second shot is 100% hitting the beskar, clear as day in slow motion.
Guys he’s still alive, Those Tubes in his cheeks are not for show it’s literally his backup Respiratory system. Those tubes are attached to his lungs, Remember this Is Dave Filoni where talking about.
The dialogue before their duel is so pathetic. "You're an old man" "I may be old, but I'm still faster than you. " "That may be true, but I've got armour" "We'll see" It honestly feels like Toy Story dialogue "I brought my attack dog, with a built-in forcefield" "Well I brought my dinosaur, that eats forcefield dogs"
See this is the exact stuff I would want in a second season. I would want the Cad Bane intro from episode six as the post credit scene and Cad Bane being this way for the entire second season and is the main villain and him not to die since that proves him right and he dies alone of old age.
For a CW fan like myself, it felt so off. It would be like bringing Maul back in TCW only to kill him off in his second episode after 4 minutes of screen time.
I think with the old age of Cad Bane he knew he was going to die by old age and he didn't want that the way he wanted to go down was by another bounty hunter and no other bounty hunter he would rather be killed by is Boba Fett I believe that's why he took the job in the first place that's why he was pushing Boba Fett at the start
Right, and people complaining he doesn’t have enough screen time and is a waste when he has plenty in the Clone War series. Ultimately people are just going to complain no matter what could of happened.
I would've loved to have seen some flashbacks to the lost Boba & Bane arc from TCW as a way to flesh out they're characters and their now very different viewpoints. Seeing that in live action would've been great.
This is why episode 5 and 6 were so pointless for the show, stealing a change to build the characters of the show and have the conflict become more satisfying when it finally plays out.
Yeah, the show focusing on Boba really ended at episode 4, so by the time we got to the finale and his storyline was gonna be resolved no one cared because it had been 3 episodes since we last saw him.
if he's dead I think they should have Cad Bane pop up in the Obi Wan Kenobi TV series. That would make sense since he has a history with Obi Wan and it would be a good way to utilize his character in live action more
I think he is still alive. At the end of the episode boba said that his bacta tank is being used and then all of the other secondary characters are in later shots, it would also line up with his character change not wanting to be a killer anymore
You explained it so well. The problem with the Star Wars series is that they put in characters that don’t have much story behind them in the series. This prevents new fans from connecting to the characters and plot and also most common star wars fans.
Can appreciate your take on this, I see it two different ways. What we got was amazing, we’ve seen Boba’s evolving journey, I’m sure there is more to come. Season 2 of Daredevil had the interplay of philosophies between him and The Punisher. It might have been cool to get something like that between Cad & Boba, agreed. Though he drifted in on the wind perfectly, sent his hired gun message strongly. It really had that Old Western movie lore behind it, very Lee Van Cleef like, Cad was based on him. Imagine Cad survives, though Boba can still be haunted by his unlikely death. Ultimately the discourse between Boba & Din over each of their shifting beliefs would be a great part of season 2…we can hope. Still loved the finale, the return of Grogu and the Rancor ride of Boba Fett were astounding.
The live-action portrayal of Cad Bane reminded me a lot of Clint Eastwood. Watching Eastwood movies, you see a gruff 'cowboy' age and I felt the same way watching Cad Bane between The Clone Wars and The Book of Boba Fett. I thought it was somewhat out of character for him to fall to the Game of Thrones Oberyn Martell death (overconfidence or whatnot + a speech leading to death) but, as mentioned, he's very old and hasn't faced many people who had a chance against him so perhaps it was more characteristic than I thought. I wasn't upset about Cad Bane's depiction at all. I agree that I would have loved to see more Cad Bane in live-action.
The problem I have with Cad Bane is the same problem I have with most of the Book of Boba Fett It just seems to be calling on our old memories either just because they can or just because they know that original triligy content seems to be the only content that everyone enjoys.
Videos like these are Stupendous. I say do more. It's good to hear you talk your thoughts. Keep it up mate. Hope you're doing well and May The Force Be With You :)
I think it would be super cool for luke to meet nice boba fett and have some sort of confusion where he trys to attack Boba and then mando steps in like "nah bro thats the homie now"
after reading some comments i am glad he is not dead and i hope the conclusion to his story is something along the lines of last job then retirement basically getting away with it all i feel that ending would really suit cad bane
I agree we needed more cad bane. There was so much opportunity with this since we had the mandalorian take up two episodes by himself that really didn't belong to him.
I agree that a battle of ideologies would have been an enjoyable conversation to see. But deep ideology and morals aren’t exactly in the character of a bounty hunter. Especially one as experienced as Cad Bane. Problems are solved at the end of a blaster, not a pen.
If that was the real Boba Fett from the movies, he wouldnt have said anything, he would have just silently stared at Cad Bane with his helmet on, and then shoot him in the fucking face. Boba Fett is such a joke in this show.
@@KubEntertainment69 his life support still have life signs. Either that or it was a homing beacon so his body will be taken away. Either way, I think we'll see him again.
Here's the thing...prior to him being stabbed by Boba, the badge is not blinking red....after he is stabbed its blinking red. Directors and writers don't do stuff like that without a meaning. It was deliberate and thus important.
The 70 years old thing seems to come up a lot. Is that the (limit) to their lifespan? Is it because they have difficult lives under dangerous conditions where not many survive because they are killed? I realize it’s all lore and fantasy but a lot of things effect lifespan.
I agree a lot think they are trying to find a middle ground between the hardcore and casual fans so they didn't bring Bane in earlier because some people would have never seen him before but I think both that and the odd pacing and apparent lower budget really left it feeling lacking in some areas.
They really needed to have a scene or two to establish his rivalry/mentor relationship with Boba. Imagine this: 1) Boba realizes he's growing old after losing to a blind Han Solo and Luke 2) Boba has a change of heart on adopting a bunch of kids. You can use the street gang if you want. He realizes he is older than Jango ever was. And now he has the daddy responsibilities that come with it. 3) have a flashback of Jango training Cad, and then Cad trying to teach Boba after Jango's death establishing their relationship 4) flash forward to the last time Boba got "defeated", with the shootout cut from TCW. 5) Have Cad now reappear with the Pykes for negotiations. Now we have context and backstory in BoBF without having to watch TCW. 6) have Cad develop Boba one last time with that battle of ideologies. Battle of Mos Espa is really about Cad trying to make Boba a wanton killer, but Boba outsmarts him eventually with help from allies. In contrast to Cad who gets dragged down by his allies and ideology on brutal self preservation first.
I loved how he was used, but he really needed to be introduced much earlier as the familiar antagonist serving as the face of the much larger Pyke threat. I also agree that they should've leaned harder on Boba's development. The finale was mostly really cool, but it still falls a bit flat because I think the first three episodes were really mishandled. They really should've handled flashbacks right away in the first episode, catching up to Boba sitting on the throne by the end so we can just get going with the story. Next, and arguably most importantly, they needed to clearly establish Boba's goals and motivations from the get-go and make him more proactive with more agency, because what we got for the first threee episodes in the present was Boba being uncharacteristically passive and reactive, when he should've been the one driving the plot. Great, keep Din Djarin. I loved that stuff, but his story also needed to be better interwoven with Boba's so we didn't have two whole episodes in an already short miniseries without the main character in a show with his own name in the title after the majority of his episodes involved him basically spinning his wheels most of the time.
Agreed, They need to make sure these shows translate dramatically to viewers, even if you haven't watched the animated (which I haven't). The whole inter-textuality Expanded Universe thing is generally resulting in less satisfying stories, and Boba was very hit and miss, frequently baffling and unbelievable.
I'm pretty sure they did have more to tell us including more Boba Fett story that might have included CAD Bane in some flashbacks from when Bubba was a child or other elements but after the negative response of the early episodes with the mods they reversed course edited out a whole bunch of stuff they thought fans would hate put reshoots with footage from Mandalorian season 3 to fill the space
Now what if everything you said happened but the end the same fight was similar with a bit more dialogue, and cad bane bests boba again, Din stands over cad bane and slices him with the dark saber from behind in his last moments boba whispers “see, I told you it’s better not to be a lone bounty hunter “ as he dies on the ground
That’s precisely what I thought. Bane showing up very early would be picked up the traction and got people talking waaaaay sooner. Much as I loved it too, I wish the mando episodes weren’t really so integrated, give more room for a whole episode focused about Boba and Bane’s ideologies like you said
I think that his design was absolutely fantastic. I think the backlash against it is hot air. I agree with you on all of your points. Bane is absolutely terrifying in live action. I think that we are going to see him again... red blinking light... as mentioned many times.
I had an idea for the series. Keep the into with the tuskans and keep bobba’s goal to be a kingpin. But I think that Bane should have been the catalyst to test if boba’s character changes. Bane would bait him by spreading rumors that Mace is alive and try to get Boba to lose focus on being a good ruler. Boba would use his family ties to the tuscans to let go of his father and not let his selfish desire for revenge overtake him.
could of sworn both his wrists had flame throwers, he has a way to shock people he touches and his boots had jet trusters so IDK why he got taken out so easily - boba gave plenty of time before the killing blow for a counter move to be made.
I feel ya buddy. I love Cad Bane too. But let’s not forget this show features a myriad of flashbacks. I’m sure we will get a bunch of backstory now that the Cad Bane can of brain worms has been opened. Plus, old westerns love to bring the nemesis back for revenge once you think they’re already dead.
His end was poetic here. Dragging him out further would be absurd. He’s what? In his 70? 100 in human years? There’s a massive amount of time to play with his character over the clone wars~>empire period. This is a great end point for him and contrast with Fett.
You know what would've solved everyone's grievances with Boba being too soft? In an end credits scene, we cut to night time when the Pikes and Crimebosses were in hiding within a safehouse, waiting for a transport to pick them up. As they head to one that lands, the shuttle bay doors open up and out comes Kryzanthan blasting their guards apart. From behind, Fennec is in position behind a dune, picking off the rear guards one by one. The leaders surrender and Boba steps out of the ship and faces them as all of them except the Pike plead for their lives. Boba waits for it to take effect and finally tells them that he's no longer the bloodthirsty killer he once was and that he won't kill them. The leaders sigh in relief, but the Pike knows otherwise. Boba continues, saying that in this case, he'll make an exception because they hurt HIS family. Just then, a Rancor roars in the distance. It's footsteps shake the ground harder and harder as it approaches. And when it does, it snatches the Pike in one swift montion and tears him apart (off-screen) The others run in fear, but Mok Shiaz tries to pull a blaster on Boba, only to be shot down by Fennec's superior aim. Mok, defenseless, tries to scramble to no avail as he trips and falls. The Rancor catches his eye on Mok and Boba commands it to smash apart Mok with its fist instead. When Mok gets crushed, the episode cuts to black as the first lands on Mok's poor soul.
I feel like if the wanna continue Boba's story they should keep as many heavy hitters alive as possible at least for longer than a few episodes. the only other characters that relevant to Boba would be Bossk who just doesn't feel threatening enough to be a season villain and Aura Sing who got off screened in Solo
The development we were probably looking for will probably be elaborated on in the bad batch season 2 and flashbacks in book of Boba fett season 2 but that is my opinion
The finale was good, but I sure wish they didn’t kill Cad Bane. However, if you look at it this way, it just makes sense for his character and story that he’d die by the sword as he lived by the sword his whole life. And if he was going to be killed by someone, who better to do it than Boba Fett himself.
He's NOT slow even at the ripe age of 71 he was doing rolls and outdrawing everyone with fast reaction times even boba admitted cad was the fastest gunslinger in the galaxy
Like many in the comments, I believe that Cad Bane will be revived by his droid & become a future antagonist in the series. I think that they did a really good job with this show considering it was just 7 episodes. I think that viewers would have gotten the story that they wanted, if there were 22 episodes like the clone wars seasons had.
I think I agree completely with you. The way they tossed Cad Bane in, they expected you to know all this backstory, including the unfinished Clone Wars gunfight. My friends who have yet to watch Clone Wars were more confused than impressed. There was a right way to do this, and they kinda just didn't.
My problem is his blasters can dent bobas thick helmet but don't do anything to bobas chest plates which seem thinner. Also his first 2 shots knock boba down but the third shot that was at point blank range didn't push Boba down instead he grabs his stick against the knock back. Either Boba has stronger arms then legs or things aren't quite right in the stars wars laws of physics
I agree I wish he was introduced sooner, honestly, my complaint is less that, and more so that the 7 episode season feels like a course correction gone wrong. I remember a couple years ago people talking about how the 21 episode season is just to long, so the soliciting Disney plus seems to be running with us like single digit seasons, and it’s great for something’s sure but honestly every major project under the single digit season model has felt oddly paced. Not that I don’t think it can work or it’s wrong, just that the current way they’re telling stories has a super steep cliff around the last 2 episodes where it feels like the bulk of the season moves a little slow, then everything happens, and like... that could work in some settings, but for characters like boba, Loki, Hawkeye you want that longer story, and not only that but it feels like for the sake of brevity these shows seem to be taking the expected option for many plot threads, like your initial passing thought about the show and how it will probably end if they follow convention... that’s probably right. So I won’t say I’m unhappy with any of the Disney plus stuff, I just want them to genuinely surprise me as well as tell a good story
I 1000% agree. I really dislike the concept of writing for a twist/reveal and that’s what I felt about waiting till the end of episode 5 was. TBOBF had a huge issue with its overall direction and I think giving the show a villain from the start (or like maybe from episode 3) would have really helped give clarity to that. Also I feel like his introduction punishes the audience if they haven’t watched TCW, here’s this super menacing dude and they wait for half of the episode to go by before even mentioning his name, Boba saying “I’m not a little boy anymore” would have felt completely out of left field.
might i say, the fact that we only get the history hinted at in this series instead of showing cad bane more..... isnt that just like boba fett himself? until this series for most people boba was a character with only 5 mins of screentime with only hinted at background XD
It blows my mind that the ridiculously uninteresting and jarring mod gang got so much screen time in this series when that could have been filled by cad bane. Strange decision
Need to appeal to young teenagers, agree they were annoying and terrible
I don’t understand why Disney thinks most Star Wars fans are still children…. It’s been almost 20 years since rots.
@@myaccount__7269 It's a bad appeal though. It's the same as Lucas thinking children need children in films to relate. Children don't relate to other children in films. They relate to Luke, Leia, Mando, etc. No teenagers in 2022 are going to be awed my out-of-place 1950's aesthetics.
Another terrible Robert Rodriguez/ Favreau decision
I agree, the mod gang was awful and the chase scene with the mayors spokesman was the worst scene so far in all of the new series since the Mandalorian came out. My 12 year old daughter made fun of it and actually asked "why do those stupid people need so many mirrors?"
I liked Cad Bane in the show, but I had 2 problems
1.) Remove him from the show and nothing changes. Most events would play out nearly the same
2.) It feels like he was only brought back for shock value and just to have a conclusion to his story
I would have to disagree As I think adding cad bane made the series much better thanks to fan service. If he wasn’t in this series and it was replaced by someone like bossk,people wouldn’t like the series nearly as much.
@@sneakrzzz8669 I liked his appearance in the show, and I’m glad it happened. But, my problem was “Did it need to happen?”
@@sneakrzzz8669 “People wouldn’t like the series as much if not for the fan service.”
What a revealing sentiment about the state of Lucasfilms.
3 his Hat was to small
No worries the blue guy you see in this series is not Cad Bane but neither Beta Fat... they are just pure Disney jokes.
If you remember right after cad bane died a device started beeping so I think that device might signal his ship or Droid and maybe his droid can revive him with like a bacta tank or a droid part replacing his wound.
My theory is this: We know Bane is rich rich, with all the bounties he has collected. I bet that the beeping sound was an insurance measure, and that it instantly placed a bounty on Boba fett with all of Cade’s net worth. Now, Boba will be tormented by the very thing he once was. He was the hunter now he will be the hunted. Boba would feel guilty, etc due to his realization how hell it is to be on the receiving end. I bet Bossk and Dengar will pick up on the bounty as there seems to be less high level bounties being offered post-empire.
I just rewatched the scene and I don't hear any beeping? As Boba steps off of Cad after impaling him, turns and starts to walk away there's a rhythmic ticking, almost like a metronome sound effect being played over the music, but I just interpreted that as something symbolic. Boba had been advised multiple times while facing Cad down earlier on to not let his emotions govern his response and to make the right play. I just took the metronome-esque ticking to be a sign of Boba's composure when it was needed and therefore growth of his character. He had all but resigned himself that it was all over and he was done for, but he centered himself, remembered the teachings of the tuskens and used a different, methodical newly learned form of close quarters combat to regain the upper hand at the last moment. I could be completely wrong on this, I just took the situation and sound effects used to be conveying a pivotal movement of character development. That said, like most I do hope there's more for Cad in live action, would be a waste to only have a brief appearance ✌🏻
@@aztec905 its more blinking than actual beeping.
@@aztec905 It is indeed hard to make out, as it is pretty faint. but i does sound like glitchy beep. i really do hope cad bane will return. but if that was indeed his final act, then i'll accept it.
Guys I've just watched it again really loud with some headphones on and still can't make out this beeping. Anyone want to do me a favour and watch the same scene. Does the supposed 'beeping' start literally between 13:52/51 seconds left of the episode?
I think he is still alive let me explain there was a lot of moding in this tv show and fenic survived and so did cod vanth so he could very well be alive
Apparently on his chest his heart monitor is still beeping, I'm not sure if it's that because it only starts to beep as soon as he gets impaled by boba
I don't think hes gonna to come back because the modding people work for boba and I doubt they would help cad bane plus it looked like boba stabbed him in the heart the only reason they modded Fenic and cod vanth is because they were both still barley alive
@@Pugmaster97 Also Bane’s finale shot was probably a homage and not trying to tease him coming back. To me the shot said “look here’s the body, so you people don’t think he’s still alive” like how so many think Mace is still alive
@@seriousnesstv7902 yes I agree I think he's dead and his story is done
He's dead bro
I don’t have any problem with his design or him dying. But his screentime was way to short. As you said: He should have been the main villain from the start or at least from mid-season.
I actually like that boba killed him. The fight should just have been more intense. Boba felt very weak most of the time and just won by the good old „the bad guy waited too long“. Didn’t really do both of them justice
i think its a nod to mr boba himself. in the originals he got fan favorite with only like 5 mins of screentime :D
@@vinnie8792 But we have been with Cad more than we have with Boba, I get what you're saying but it does not make any sense. Also at this point Cad should know better and should have put up more a fight especially since he could hold his own against a jedi if not strategically coordinate an attacks to take one down(His fight with Obi-Wan and Vos)
@@vinnie8792 nah that’s just reaching man
Hawkeye had the exact problem.
I love Dave and Jon, and their work, but BoB was too tropey for me all around. It was hard to feel like the stakes were high when nobody ever died despite all odds. Cad got 4 minutes of screen time, Boba talked too much for a stoic type, his arc happened so quick (and through flashbacks) that it was just disorienting seeing him be all honorable and stuff. The Boba/Bane stuff relied on viewers not only watching the CW tv show, but also unreleased scenes from cut seasons, which is stupid, and I say that as someone who has seen them. They should have started the show with a younger adult Boba and Bane to help set the stage for the rushed ending we got. I love Luke, Grogu, Mando, etc., but it was like they were stuffing half of an Avengers Film into a single superhero movie (or the star wars equivalent).
I am pissed they took out Cad Bane. He could have been a recurring villain to both Boba and Mando. Wound him so he can “run away” but that also allows him to “fight another day” but don’t kill him off.
Don’t worry my guy he’s alive,yes he was stabbed in the gut. But if you listen you can hear his emergency life support beeping,and if you remember he has a extra pair of lungs anyways attached to his throat,they wouldn’t spend all that time making the costume and kill him off. Trust me.
He was elderly at his age he’s lucky to be alive
@@05goode 🤣🤣
@@sneakrzzz8669 I keep pointing this out to everyone!
@@05goode Some people have genes that make them live for very long. Something tells me Bane has those type of genes.
I honestly think he's gonna be back. He's heavily modded. Even in clone wars he has tubes in his throat so he couldn't get force choked. They seem to be wanting Boba to be turning into a hero with the way they talk. I feel like maybe they'll use Cad as his nemesis and reminder of the killer he once was. As boba finds redemption, one of his mentors from childhood tries too kill him. Sounds cool. But idk if they'll pull it off or if I'm right
it definitely sounds Batman/Joker, but I got that vibe too, I don't think they'd bring Bane back just to kill him off, we'll see how it goes but my money is on him being alive
@Patrick Hannon Same. I believe he's coming back. Who knows, maybe they'll show him off in Mando season 3. But we'll see
He’s dead man
so you liked the palpatine story line then, because you can't like Cad coming back over and over and not like the same the Palps
I'm sure they would have just left him in the street of their own town and not made sure he was dead and disposed of the body. Yep, I'm certain they are just that stupid.
I think the design is still good, and I agree that Bane was portrayed well, but his age is exactly why he shouldn’t survive. But I understand that people want to see more of him, the real drawback was not introducing bane in episode 5 and instead wasting it on Mandalorian
it wasn't wasted. Now Mandalorian can start it's season and go directly into the plot and it's also a great way to connect the stories. Now you have Mando and grogu immediately going off to do whatever it is they're doing, presumably running into trouble with the dark Saber and Bo Katan. This season is gonna be nuts. You guys take the shows for what they are at the time being and never look at the bigger picture and story as a whole which is what you're supposed to do.
@@maulok8441 I agree just like how people don't like how passive Boba is but if you remember the entire series is about how family makes you stronger this can be seen in the book of Boba fett as well as with luke and Vader in the originals.
We seen enough of cad bane in clone wars. And he was awesome so he's had his time.
There is still a lot of story between clone wars and the book of Boba that cad bane could still be a part of
@@juliangiraldo997 Yeah but we don’t need to see more of Cad Bane post-ROTJ. He’s already past his prime
The only issue I had with this show was Bane dying. Gave me a weird feeling in my gut! Really just wanted more I guess
i doubt hes dead, if you rewatch the scene his chest plate has a blinking red dot thats beeping. im pretty sure its his emergency life support activating. since he has that extra pair of lungs that connect to those tubes on his head
Yeah I agree there’s no way they’ll kill off a fan favourite character like Cad Bane in a single episode without much build up. He’s come back.
@@f.ggaming8206 yup exactly bro no way they’re gonna kill off a fan favorite character in two episodes. And there’s no way they had that zoom in on his dead body with the blinking and beeping for no reason.. it was probably to show that he’s still alive
@@yamanreese Those tubes on his head only serve as a defence against force chokes. But yeah, I think the beeping is his heart monitor, since he is extremely old for his species.
He could always show up in bad batch season 2 or the obi wan show
I loved the way he drifted in off the desert to Freetown. As soon as I saw the hat and coat I got chills. I knew who he was, i knew how dangerous he is, I knew what was going to ensue and I sat attentively staring at the screen and the sheer tensioned artistic way it was handled. The contrast between Cad being this larger than life hardened killer and the confrontatuonal deputy was night and day. You knew the deputy was going to do something stupid, you knew Vanth was now incredibly anxious as the deputy had no idea the scale of his error. This scene, this incredible moment of suspense would not have been the same if Cad was introduced earlier. I do like the idea of it being Cad who killed the Tuskens, but also idk if thats something you could hire someone of his caliber to do. Tuskens are regarded as savages and Cad specifically is comparable to a big game hunter targeting Jedi throughout his career where many other bounty hunters wouldn't even dare go against a force chosen. Cad was prepared for everything except a primitive attack from a feigning Fett. I think the whole thing was well done my real only complaint was how vibrantly blue his wrist devices were. Short of that I thought he did fantastic.
I feel like he was taken out too easily. He's a much better fighter and strategist than what we had seen, even at his old age. He rarely underestimated his opponents in his younger ages, and i would have expected him to be even wiser in his older age
This is what i think too. He used to fight some one as old good pal hando said "a bunch of crazy lunatic who waving glash flight" and still alive. Im not sure how he get defeated easily maybe he just getting old i guess.
The thing is, EVEN in the clone wars, Cad Bane was technically past his prime. Yes it's been 20+ years, but Cad was in his fifties during the clone wars, he was already an older guy.
True, YOU don’t know how this species ages and you don’t know how fit he is in this age. And he also didn’t know anything about bobas development with the Tuskens or that Boba can fight with the stick .. so for me it’s fine
@@ferdi9174 actually Cad Bane did know about the Tuskens, he used that as a way to instigate a fight.
he taught boba the ways of bounty hunting after the death of jango fett with the alterier motive of killing him later to proove his metal. ultimately the teacher beats the student at what he taught him, but looses to the students new found abilities that he didn't it was unexpected and bane is arrogent and jaded at this point, so ultimately it is poetic way for him to die.
Even though it was cool to see Mando and Luke train Grogu, 2 episodes having barely anything to do with Boba was a wrong move. 2 episodes could have been used tp build up Cad Bane and Boba's past and give Bane more to do. Show case his resourcefulness and how cruel he is. I hope we get to see more of Cad Bane in other shows.
Exactly how I felt as well
Yeah, instead we just got the mandalorian season 2.5 for those episodes
Don’t get me wrong, I loved the mandalorian and I liked the episodes, I just would have preferred them to be focused on stuff going on with boba
I think they did that because the new episodes of The Mandalorian wasn’t released last year and it was a appetizer to tell fans Mando will return.
I definitely agree with this. Cad Bane would have been the perfect main antagonist in this series. They should have used him for the long run rather then 2 episodes. He’s such a great character.
Bane knew exactly where to hit Boba. Hits him multiple times which should have damn near destroyed Boba arm but he gets back flipping his gaffee stick around like no issue. Otherwise I agree with everything else.
@cablecow15 to me it looked like bane shot between the plates and that's why Bova went down. Otherwise I think he would have shrugged them off like din does when shot. Maybe?
@@evilcartmensolo7198 I think his blasters are just modified to pack a heavier punch for their size
@@evilcartmensolo7198 After watching the scene a few times frame-by-frame, I'd say 80% likelihood the first shot hit Boba's beskar. The sparks imply as much, but the bolt seems to fall right on the edge of his beskar plate. The second shot is 100% hitting the beskar, clear as day in slow motion.
Guys he’s still alive, Those Tubes in his cheeks are not for show it’s literally his backup Respiratory system.
Those tubes are attached to his lungs, Remember this Is Dave Filoni where talking about.
Plus they made sure to show it on that shot.
@@myaccount__7269 also the beeping sound gave it away too
The dialogue before their duel is so pathetic.
"You're an old man"
"I may be old, but I'm still faster than you. "
"That may be true, but I've got armour"
"We'll see"
It honestly feels like Toy Story dialogue
"I brought my attack dog, with a built-in forcefield"
"Well I brought my dinosaur, that eats forcefield dogs"
Nah. That last line from boba is a bit too cheesy but the rest of it is pretty damn great considering their histories together.
See this is the exact stuff I would want in a second season. I would want the Cad Bane intro from episode six as the post credit scene and Cad Bane being this way for the entire second season and is the main villain and him not to die since that proves him right and he dies alone of old age.
This is definitely not the last time we'll see him...
He is still alive, we didn't see his fellow droid helper so I think he'll be retraced and they'll meet again
I agree, Cad Bane was in and out of this show way too quickly. I wanted more of him. More of a build up would've been much better.
For a CW fan like myself, it felt so off. It would be like bringing Maul back in TCW only to kill him off in his second episode after 4 minutes of screen time.
I'm actually glad you mentioned him not being as "playful " like he was in clone wars. He acted so weird in boba fett. Overly angry
Well he is 71, if I was that age and still bounty
hunting I’d be grumpy as hell too
@@randomwhitedude412 but he loves doing it 😂
@@kyartick8502 True True, lmao
I think with the old age of Cad Bane he knew he was going to die by old age and he didn't want that the way he wanted to go down was by another bounty hunter and no other bounty hunter he would rather be killed by is Boba Fett I believe that's why he took the job in the first place that's why he was pushing Boba Fett at the start
Did you hear the ‘beep’ when the camera panned over his body?
That’s the life support system. Boom alive.
I really love how Bane is depicted as an alien Clint Eastwood. I think they got him right. I just wish we got more of him.
Agreed. I wish there would have been a lot more, was happy to see him.
I wanted to see flashbacks of Boba Fett vs Bane fight from Clone Wars. They could have make it like it was done in Arcane where Ecco was fighting Jinx
Complains we did not get Cad Bane
*We get Cad Bane*
Complains we did not Cad Bane earlier
I'm so fucking tired of this fandom
Right, and people complaining he doesn’t have enough screen time and is a waste when he has plenty in the Clone War series. Ultimately people are just going to complain no matter what could of happened.
Irony. Complains about the fandom. :P
Would have been a better ending if Tuskens had come to their aid.
I would've loved to have seen some flashbacks to the lost Boba & Bane arc from TCW as a way to flesh out they're characters and their now very different viewpoints. Seeing that in live action would've been great.
He’s trying to move past his killer ways then impales cad bane. My favorite Star Wars character…Yeah naw. Fuck this show.
This is why episode 5 and 6 were so pointless for the show, stealing a change to build the characters of the show and have the conflict become more satisfying when it finally plays out.
That divergence of the series also kinda kills the impact of Grogu returning to Din which should’ve been saved for Season 3 of Mando.
Yeah, the show focusing on Boba really ended at episode 4, so by the time we got to the finale and his storyline was gonna be resolved no one cared because it had been 3 episodes since we last saw him.
They are awesome episodes
Of star Wars
But not episodes of Boba fett
@@SubZero-hs9xc Exactly episode 5 is a perfect Mando episode not an episode of Boba Fett
@@SubZero-hs9xc agreed
Good work my man ✊👍....and I totally agree with your alternate story line😎
if he's dead I think they should have Cad Bane pop up in the Obi Wan Kenobi TV series. That would make sense since he has a history with Obi Wan and it would be a good way to utilize his character in live action more
Cad Bane is basically what we all imagined Boba Fett to be like based off of his 4 lines of dialogue from 'Empire Strikes Back'.
I think he is still alive. At the end of the episode boba said that his bacta tank is being used and then all of the other secondary characters are in later shots, it would also line up with his character change not wanting to be a killer anymore
There's a post-credit scene showing Cobb Vanth in the bacta tank.
You didn't watch the episode then. Because it's Cobb Vanth in the bacta tank. He's even listed in the credits.
Watching this show is like being broke working for a paycheck only to light it on fire and end up in the same spot we began.
You explained it so well. The problem with the Star Wars series is that they put in characters that don’t have much story behind them in the series. This prevents new fans from connecting to the characters and plot and also most common star wars fans.
Well said. Lets take a moment to think of Xavier and magneto's relationship. We need complexity, thats what made vader and luke so engaging.
Can appreciate your take on this, I see it two different ways. What we got was amazing, we’ve seen Boba’s evolving journey, I’m sure there is more to come. Season 2 of Daredevil had the interplay of philosophies between him and The Punisher. It might have been cool to get something like that between Cad & Boba, agreed. Though he drifted in on the wind perfectly, sent his hired gun message strongly. It really had that Old Western movie lore behind it, very Lee Van Cleef like, Cad was based on him. Imagine Cad survives, though Boba can still be haunted by his unlikely death. Ultimately the discourse between Boba & Din over each of their shifting beliefs would be a great part of season 2…we can hope. Still loved the finale, the return of Grogu and the Rancor ride of Boba Fett were astounding.
The live-action portrayal of Cad Bane reminded me a lot of Clint Eastwood. Watching Eastwood movies, you see a gruff 'cowboy' age and I felt the same way watching Cad Bane between The Clone Wars and The Book of Boba Fett.
I thought it was somewhat out of character for him to fall to the Game of Thrones Oberyn Martell death (overconfidence or whatnot + a speech leading to death) but, as mentioned, he's very old and hasn't faced many people who had a chance against him so perhaps it was more characteristic than I thought.
I wasn't upset about Cad Bane's depiction at all. I agree that I would have loved to see more Cad Bane in live-action.
He had a transponder in his jacket. You could hear it when he lay in the ground, so I dont think he is dead and out yet.
He always SURVIVES
Disney : I'll pretend I didn't hear it
The problem I have with Cad Bane is the same problem I have with most of the Book of Boba Fett
It just seems to be calling on our old memories either just because they can or just because they know that original triligy content seems to be the only content that everyone enjoys.
Videos like these are Stupendous. I say do more. It's good to hear you talk your thoughts. Keep it up mate. Hope you're doing well and May The Force Be With You :)
I think it would be super cool for luke to meet nice boba fett and have some sort of confusion where he trys to attack Boba and then mando steps in like "nah bro thats the homie now"
after reading some comments i am glad he is not dead and i hope the conclusion to his story is something along the lines of last job then retirement basically getting away with it all i feel that ending would really suit cad bane
I agree we needed more cad bane. There was so much opportunity with this since we had the mandalorian take up two episodes by himself that really didn't belong to him.
I was happy Cad was included. This showdown was great.
I wanna see old Rex and old bane go toe to toe. Maybe Rex is a sheriff on some remote world and Bane encounters him.
I think he will make an appearance in Kenobi… or get his own spinoff series. Theres no way thats all they will use him for in live action.
More of your opion is a good thing as i love it when you talk about your personal certain point of view.💖🇦🇺
Your consistency and quality of videos never disappoint!! Keep up the good work;)
I agree that a battle of ideologies would have been an enjoyable conversation to see. But deep ideology and morals aren’t exactly in the character of a bounty hunter. Especially one as experienced as Cad Bane. Problems are solved at the end of a blaster, not a pen.
If that was the real Boba Fett from the movies, he wouldnt have said anything, he would have just silently stared at Cad Bane with his helmet on, and then shoot him in the fucking face. Boba Fett is such a joke in this show.
I still haven't gotten over the fact that they chose to kill him. Yeah, I'm confident that he'll come back somehow but they still killed him.
He’s dead man
@@KubEntertainment69 his life support still have life signs. Either that or it was a homing beacon so his body will be taken away. Either way, I think we'll see him again.
We will inevitably see him in a spin off because Disney wants that money
@@generalherasyndulla8198 most likely.
Agree! From like episode 2 or 3 would have been great to build better in the show. We all love Cad and wanna see more of him like he was in clone wars
Here's the thing...prior to him being stabbed by Boba, the badge is not blinking red....after he is stabbed its blinking red. Directors and writers don't do stuff like that without a meaning. It was deliberate and thus important.
The 70 years old thing seems to come up a lot. Is that the (limit) to their lifespan?
Is it because they have difficult lives under dangerous conditions where not many survive because they are killed?
I realize it’s all lore and fantasy but a lot of things effect lifespan.
Boba really brought a club to a gun fight and won 😭😭😭
It would’ve been cool if they were fringe Allies until the finale episode when cad turns on him when he gets bribed off by the pikes
I agree a lot think they are trying to find a middle ground between the hardcore and casual fans so they didn't bring Bane in earlier because some people would have never seen him before but I think both that and the odd pacing and apparent lower budget really left it feeling lacking in some areas.
They really needed to have a scene or two to establish his rivalry/mentor relationship with Boba. Imagine this:
1) Boba realizes he's growing old after losing to a blind Han Solo and Luke
2) Boba has a change of heart on adopting a bunch of kids. You can use the street gang if you want. He realizes he is older than Jango ever was. And now he has the daddy responsibilities that come with it.
3) have a flashback of Jango training Cad, and then Cad trying to teach Boba after Jango's death establishing their relationship
4) flash forward to the last time Boba got "defeated", with the shootout cut from TCW.
5) Have Cad now reappear with the Pykes for negotiations. Now we have context and backstory in BoBF without having to watch TCW.
6) have Cad develop Boba one last time with that battle of ideologies. Battle of Mos Espa is really about Cad trying to make Boba a wanton killer, but Boba outsmarts him eventually with help from allies. In contrast to Cad who gets dragged down by his allies and ideology on brutal self preservation first.
I think having an interaction between Krrsantan & Cad Bane was a missed opportunity.
I think they wanted to make the NEXT Boba icon, little screen time so viewers want MORE
sounds like something they can easily do without the random two mando only episodes
Am I the only one who thought at certain points in the final episode, Morgan Freeman was doing the voice of Cad Bane instead of Corey Burton???
Bane: I knew you were a killer. (flamethrower)
Fett: (parry stab)
And Also i miss his toothpick that he always have in his mouth
Agreed
I loved how he was used, but he really needed to be introduced much earlier as the familiar antagonist serving as the face of the much larger Pyke threat. I also agree that they should've leaned harder on Boba's development. The finale was mostly really cool, but it still falls a bit flat because I think the first three episodes were really mishandled. They really should've handled flashbacks right away in the first episode, catching up to Boba sitting on the throne by the end so we can just get going with the story. Next, and arguably most importantly, they needed to clearly establish Boba's goals and motivations from the get-go and make him more proactive with more agency, because what we got for the first threee episodes in the present was Boba being uncharacteristically passive and reactive, when he should've been the one driving the plot. Great, keep Din Djarin. I loved that stuff, but his story also needed to be better interwoven with Boba's so we didn't have two whole episodes in an already short miniseries without the main character in a show with his own name in the title after the majority of his episodes involved him basically spinning his wheels most of the time.
Agreed, They need to make sure these shows translate dramatically to viewers, even if you haven't watched the animated (which I haven't). The whole inter-textuality Expanded Universe thing is generally resulting in less satisfying stories, and Boba was very hit and miss, frequently baffling and unbelievable.
I think his design works well. I see it as he's gotten older and it's also a man in a prosthesis. There's only so much they can do
I'm pretty sure they did have more to tell us including more Boba Fett story that might have included CAD Bane in some flashbacks from when Bubba was a child or other elements but after the negative response of the early episodes with the mods they reversed course edited out a whole bunch of stuff they thought fans would hate put reshoots with footage from Mandalorian season 3 to fill the space
Cad Bane will show up in Obi-Wan as a main antagonist hunting him.
Now what if everything you said happened but the end the same fight was similar with a bit more dialogue, and cad bane bests boba again, Din stands over cad bane and slices him with the dark saber from behind in his last moments boba whispers “see, I told you it’s better not to be a lone bounty hunter “ as he dies on the ground
This should not have been the last episode, they built up enough content to last a whole new season, but they crammed it all in one episode.
That’s precisely what I thought. Bane showing up very early would be picked up the traction and got people talking waaaaay sooner. Much as I loved it too, I wish the mando episodes weren’t really so integrated, give more room for a whole episode focused about Boba and Bane’s ideologies like you said
I think that his design was absolutely fantastic. I think the backlash against it is hot air. I agree with you on all of your points. Bane is absolutely terrifying in live action. I think that we are going to see him again... red blinking light... as mentioned many times.
i don't appreciate them getting rid of bane like this
He's most likely not dead. The beeping augemtic on his chest might be a transponder for pickup by a certain droid...who knows?
I had an idea for the series. Keep the into with the tuskans and keep bobba’s goal to be a kingpin. But I think that Bane should have been the catalyst to test if boba’s character changes. Bane would bait him by spreading rumors that Mace is alive and try to get Boba to lose focus on being a good ruler. Boba would use his family ties to the tuscans to let go of his father and not let his selfish desire for revenge overtake him.
Let's be honest... when grogu saw that big droid going at Din... some of us were expecting him to whip out a yellow lightsaber and go to town on it.
I think that they may have written for 10 episodes, but only had the resources for 7 so had to do a rewrite to make it fit.
could of sworn both his wrists had flame throwers, he has a way to shock people he touches and his boots had jet trusters so IDK why he got taken out so easily - boba gave plenty of time before the killing blow for a counter move to be made.
I feel ya buddy. I love Cad Bane too. But let’s not forget this show features a myriad of flashbacks. I’m sure we will get a bunch of backstory now that the Cad Bane can of brain worms has been opened. Plus, old westerns love to bring the nemesis back for revenge once you think they’re already dead.
His end was poetic here. Dragging him out further would be absurd. He’s what? In his 70? 100 in human years? There’s a massive amount of time to play with his character over the clone wars~>empire period. This is a great end point for him and contrast with Fett.
You know what would've solved everyone's grievances with Boba being too soft?
In an end credits scene, we cut to night time when the Pikes and Crimebosses were in hiding within a safehouse, waiting for a transport to pick them up.
As they head to one that lands, the shuttle bay doors open up and out comes Kryzanthan blasting their guards apart. From behind, Fennec is in position behind a dune, picking off the rear guards one by one.
The leaders surrender and Boba steps out of the ship and faces them as all of them except the Pike plead for their lives. Boba waits for it to take effect and finally tells them that he's no longer the bloodthirsty killer he once was and that he won't kill them. The leaders sigh in relief, but the Pike knows otherwise.
Boba continues, saying that in this case, he'll make an exception because they hurt HIS family.
Just then, a Rancor roars in the distance. It's footsteps shake the ground harder and harder as it approaches. And when it does, it snatches the Pike in one swift montion and tears him apart (off-screen)
The others run in fear, but Mok Shiaz tries to pull a blaster on Boba, only to be shot down by Fennec's superior aim.
Mok, defenseless, tries to scramble to no avail as he trips and falls. The Rancor catches his eye on Mok and Boba commands it to smash apart Mok with its fist instead.
When Mok gets crushed, the episode cuts to black as the first lands on Mok's poor soul.
I feel like if the wanna continue Boba's story they should keep as many heavy hitters alive as possible at least for longer than a few episodes. the only other characters that relevant to Boba would be Bossk who just doesn't feel threatening enough to be a season villain and Aura Sing who got off screened in Solo
The development we were probably looking for will probably be elaborated on in the bad batch season 2 and flashbacks in book of Boba fett season 2 but that is my opinion
The finale was good, but I sure wish they didn’t kill Cad Bane. However, if you look at it this way, it just makes sense for his character and story that he’d die by the sword as he lived by the sword his whole life. And if he was going to be killed by someone, who better to do it than Boba Fett himself.
Welcone to disney , no one is really ever dead if mickey says so
He's NOT slow even at the ripe age of 71 he was doing rolls and outdrawing everyone with fast reaction times even boba admitted cad was the fastest gunslinger in the galaxy
technically they could use aurra sing to do the storyline you suggested, she was closer to boba and more of an actual teacher when he was younger.
Get this guy to write a Star Wars series
“ No ones ever really gone”
Like many in the comments, I believe that Cad Bane will be revived by his droid & become a future antagonist in the series. I think that they did a really good job with this show considering it was just 7 episodes. I think that viewers would have gotten the story that they wanted, if there were 22 episodes like the clone wars seasons had.
I think I agree completely with you. The way they tossed Cad Bane in, they expected you to know all this backstory, including the unfinished Clone Wars gunfight. My friends who have yet to watch Clone Wars were more confused than impressed. There was a right way to do this, and they kinda just didn't.
My problem is his blasters can dent bobas thick helmet but don't do anything to bobas chest plates which seem thinner. Also his first 2 shots knock boba down but the third shot that was at point blank range didn't push Boba down instead he grabs his stick against the knock back. Either Boba has stronger arms then legs or things aren't quite right in the stars wars laws of physics
I agree I wish he was introduced sooner, honestly, my complaint is less that, and more so that the 7 episode season feels like a course correction gone wrong. I remember a couple years ago people talking about how the 21 episode season is just to long, so the soliciting Disney plus seems to be running with us like single digit seasons, and it’s great for something’s sure but honestly every major project under the single digit season model has felt oddly paced. Not that I don’t think it can work or it’s wrong, just that the current way they’re telling stories has a super steep cliff around the last 2 episodes where it feels like the bulk of the season moves a little slow, then everything happens, and like... that could work in some settings, but for characters like boba, Loki, Hawkeye you want that longer story, and not only that but it feels like for the sake of brevity these shows seem to be taking the expected option for many plot threads, like your initial passing thought about the show and how it will probably end if they follow convention... that’s probably right. So I won’t say I’m unhappy with any of the Disney plus stuff, I just want them to genuinely surprise me as well as tell a good story
I think the arc of Cad was amazing just like this, no need for more it was just right.
I 1000% agree. I really dislike the concept of writing for a twist/reveal and that’s what I felt about waiting till the end of episode 5 was. TBOBF had a huge issue with its overall direction and I think giving the show a villain from the start (or like maybe from episode 3) would have really helped give clarity to that. Also I feel like his introduction punishes the audience if they haven’t watched TCW, here’s this super menacing dude and they wait for half of the episode to go by before even mentioning his name, Boba saying “I’m not a little boy anymore” would have felt completely out of left field.
might i say, the fact that we only get the history hinted at in this series instead of showing cad bane more..... isnt that just like boba fett himself? until this series for most people boba was a character with only 5 mins of screentime with only hinted at background XD
