This show and Bad Batch basically confirmed it. Idk why they didn't continue that first duel episode after every opportunities they had. Would've prefer that arc over the Martinez sister anyday lmao
Then why would Bane say he is faster? If they both shot and hit each other I would think they would be close to, if not evenly matched. I'm sure they've had stuff similar off screen, but idk about a duel like this. Unless Boba just got much slower or wasn't trying idk
Boba Fett has never been known as a quick draw ace in Star Wars. I would argue Han is far faster based on his Greedo plot armor. Even in the Shadow of the Empire comics, Boba's main strength is being a tactician and outsmarting his enemies. When he was against Luke, he demonstrated none of Jango's precision or volume in shots. The fact that he appealed to Cad Bane's ego in savoring the moment was probably his best bet at catching him off guard.
And now this episode proved he’s a tactical and strategic dunce. He can’t draw fast and he can’t plan ahead… so he’s just some meathead Mandalorian cosplayer with a superiority complex
@@Elcrisso1 They have certainly killed any respect i had for the character of Boba Fett.. Lets hope Bane is still alive, at least he seemed to be in character..
Cad Banes ego💀💀 when tf have we EVER seen Cad Banes ego make him screw up like That. He’s not Anakin bruh what is this. Plus he’s older now so he should be wiser
I feel like this fight between them would have been better if we got that lost clone wars scene in live action for this show taking place after the bad batch, that way we would think Cad Bane was dead from their first QuickDraw. If they incorporate Cad Bane into the story more, then this fight would be more climactic
I agree. It’s hard to assume every single fan knows about the unfinished scene, but at least those of us who do, can appreciate it a little more. Im still hoping to see it eventually
I love how Bane tries to do the whole "you're just a killer like me" thing and instead of sparing Bane to prove some kind of dumb "I'm not like you" point, Fett just takes him out without a word. There are degrees of killers. There are murderers who savor the kill with sadistic speeches about lessons and shit, and there are warriors who shut up and get it done.
This is a solid argument against all the people saying boba was being portrayed as too weak/heroic in this show, at the end of the day he's still gonna get the job done he's just become more honorable/noble
@@AtreVire There is a difference between being a man of honour but a killer (yes honour is stupid but still) and sadistic. Sadism means you enjoy it, a killed of honour means that you will do it but not necessarily with pleasure
@@unlimitedpower1385 sure, but being a warrior does not mean man of honour. Thats a childish interpretation of war. And Boba Fett used to disintegrate people for fun so he definitely isnt either
If they had this season longer, it would have been nice seeing some interaction with Bane in Boba's past, along with some nods to Jango. What if in a secret compartment in Slave 1 or in Boba's quarters in Jabba's palace, Boba had a box that contained his father's old Westar blasters, and he broke them out to duel with Cad Bane? It was nice seeing Kamino and a young Boba, but it would have been great if Morrison reprised the role of Jango in Boba's memories; show him having father-son bonding moments and why Boba valued his relationship with his father so much.
Longer? Length wasn’t the issue. They had all the time they needed. But they spent 2 episodes on the mandalorian and 3 on the tuskans who they just killed off screen. 7 episodes wasn’t the issue, stupid decisions and terrible writing was
@@philipschwichtenberg7532 the writing wasn't awful imo, I think it's just the direction The first 4 episodes could've easily been merged into a hour long premiere (like the bad batch) They could've left some stuff out, like the twins showing up (unless that's setup for season 2???) Because the bar scene with Krrsantan could've just been repurposed to be his introduction scene The mando episode could've just been a single filler episode, he still could've been there but they didn't need to take the focus off of boba for that long
@@Drendermen78 its both writing and directing. Are you telling me "Like a Bantha!" Is good writing? Robert Rodríguez did an awful job but so did the writers of the first 4 and the last episodes. What the heck were they thinking?
My only complaint about Cad Bane’s inclusion in TBoBF is that it was so brief. It felt like less of a major role and more like a cameo. Luke Skywalker probably had more screentime than Cad Bane. I have a lot more issues with the series, though it is still passable. A few more episodes of development focused on Boba Fett and maybe a bit more representation of Boba’s ruthless side were sorely needed in my view. As well as the inclusion of Cad Bane far earlier and the development of his relationship with Boba and Jango through flashbacks. But what we got was still super cool too. While this moment felt too brief it feels good rewatching it.
I feel there's a severe lack of direction in the show, some characters like the Pyke boss, the Hutts, and the Mayor are built up, but they just leave or die in five minutes, whereas Cad Bane comes out of nowhere in the second last episode. It would have been nice to have the Pyke boss hint at calling in Cad Bane in Episode 3 or 4 just to build it up at least.
Luke Skywalker might have technically got more screen time than Cad Bane but that’s only because of all those filler scenes where he’s walking with Grogu and gently Force Pushes him to keep up the pace.
It obviously depends upon what the writers wish but sometimes people don't die immediately. After they pulled the breathing tube from my mother it took her about 12 hours to shut down.
@@albertoswald8461 yeah that happens, but in this case I feel like they wouldn’t show the body like that, with it beeping, if there wasn’t any significance to it.
@@albertoswald8461 Cad has a hole in his chest and no one is going to help him since he went against Boba. He's highly likely to be dead unless his species has some unspoken plot armour like multiple organs or cybernetics
They are older, slower and this is more fitting. Plus the first one did happen as evidenced by the plate on Cad’s head. 2:28 Your version of the fight from the Book is better because of the added bit of Boba’s Clone Wars theme. 1:35
Man I really hope Bane is still alive somehow. I literally watched him make his first appearance in Clone Wars when I was in elementary school, and now I'm almost done with College. It hurts to see him go man
This isn’t really expectation vs reality. This is a totally different duel, the duel from the unfinished Clone Wars scene still happened, and they both survived, hence the metal place in Cad Banes head and dent in Bobas helmet. This is their final duel, almost 50 years later
See if you notice though both of these duels occur as seen by the dent Boba has in his helmet so cad bane survives the first one as indicated by the metal plate in his head so this is the second time they duel.
@@grzesixgrzesix4993 Yeah Among everything they fucked up in this show, namely Boba Fetts character in General.. Theres the age plothole they've created; Boba is supposed to be 41-42 years old by the time of the Book of Boba Fett, But thanks to Jon Favreau being a lazy fuck, He didnt bother to de-age Temuera Morrison whos 61 Irl, instead he ran with the idea that he was in fact a old man and has characters constantly mock Boba by calling him Old in the show, When in fact he should still be in his prime at this point. Which has resulted in a lot of confusion among many in the audience who follow the lore.
The other episodes didn't feel as rushed, but this one was just way too cramped. They tried to do too much giving all these characters their moment, and the only way they could pull it off was having everyone make stupid decisions in service off the plot. "We need to protect the town, so let's fight the war here so we can blow it up and smash it with a rancor" "Great idea, best plan would be to isolate ourselves across a massive space instead of consolidating our forces" "That should work, hopefully they don't send out their really powerful droids straight away and instead wait for a dramatically relevant moment, probably around the same time a local engineer will drive a child into the middle of a warzone"
Possibly. I've always hated having these shorter seasons. What even was it that pioneered this shorter form? The first time I noticed it was in Game of Thrones... and we all know how that ended up... I keep waiting for some franchise to finally pioneer a return to the long form seasons; I'd even settle for the twelve episode format, if full 20-episode seasons are out of the question. But ultimately, it's down to the problem of them having so little story to tell in the first place that they can't even create ANY kind of filler to pad it out to 20 full episodes. In the case of Boba Fett, though... two of the episodes are literally The Mandalorian. I'm not saying that there isn't any story to tell; I'm saying that whoever is in control here just doesn't know how to tell any kind of story. I mean, I hate flashbacks, period, and there was absolutely no need to tell this story through flashbacks, but the Tusken stuff was some of the best parts in my opinion; the first season should have just been all of that, and THEN have Boba try to start his own guild or syndicate, not this back and forth nonsense. It just gives the audience whiplash.
@@ian8477 I agree, though generally don't shows that have 20 episodes have 20-30 minute runtimes? I'd actually rather have 8-10 longer episodes that can sink their teeth into their subject matter. Also 20 episodes of like, The West Wing is one thing, 20 episodes of CG, puppetry and costume design for star wars is quite another! I think ultimately they just bit off way, way more than they could chew here. They wanted Hutts, they wanted tuskens, they wanted street gangs, they wanted frontier malitias, they wanted a wookie, they wanted to fill in the assassin's character history (forgot her name), they wanted the Mandolorian's original clan back, they wanted dark sabre lore, they wanted to bring the vissla family back into the story, they wanted a new ship, they wanted jawa sex scenes alluded to, they wanted CG Like Skywalker and Asoka setting up a Jedi temple, they wanted flashbacks to order 66, they wanted an infant getting shot at with a drone, they wanted a rancor, they wanted a cheesy assistant to the mayor in every damn episode, they wanted a biker gang, they wanted a spice gang, they wanted massive droidikas, they wanted Cad Baine, they wanted a florescent space scooter chase scene, they wanted a ring world, they wanted those green pig guys fighting ninjas, they wanted a comedy rat catcher droid that made it to the final shot. I don't think amount of time or budget that would make this amphetamine-fueled panic attack of star wars references into a cohesive story. It was a fun show to watch, and the tuskens were my favorite story arc too, but it should have stayed a simple story about Bobba Fett doing cool Bobba Fett stuff.
I like the duel in Book of Boba Fett. It demonstrates the reputation of both Fett and Bane as the best bounty hunters on their own strength. Bane is an expert gunslinger but Boba Fett is a more agile fighter at close quarters. It make sense Bane won initially, until he move close quarters to removed Fett's beskar helmet. Then Fett gain the upper hand.
I liked how Bane told Hunter about how many clones he's killed over the years and how easy they are. Here he's defeated and killed by Boba Fett. A clone.
I don’t think they did Cad Bane dirty in this scene. He went up against a guy wearing beskar armor and nearly won. That takes skill. Also I’m pretty sure that he’s still alive since his heart monitor was still beeping. The one thing I didn’t like about this was the fact that this scene is in reference to a Clone Wars episode that was never released (yet somehow was still made canon). They could’ve fixed this by making Season 7 of the Clone Wars longer.
Literally all I would have wanted was for Boba to say, "I've beat you once Bane," or something to that effect, and it would have been so mint. Everything would have come full circle. This duel gets pseudo-canonized, Boba's classic, gritty demeanor returns, and the dual becomes just that much more exciting to old time fans.
The duel is already pseudo-canonized with the metal plate in cad’s head. You don’t always have to say expositions to spoon feed ideas to the audience. It’s like when people wanted the MJ and Andrew scene. It’s so corny when you give out information when you can just show it.
The outcome of the duel made sense to me. The mentor is still ahead of the student in terms of being a shooter. But then the student learned something new via the Tuskens and that's what made the difference. Though I still think Cad Bane is still alive (what is that red light on this chest that's beeping?). I don't think they'd kill him off just like that.
Yeah but also you shouldnt have to watch the entirety of the clone wars for cad bane if you never watched any of that, you would think of him as another goon, they absolutely didnt do him service as a villain or as a beloved character with alot of history with Boba, that stuff needs to be reintroduced for new viewers, who is this show for id understand, he shouldve been in the show from episode 2/3 they could've had him kill the tuskens I see so much potential missed, if they wanted to make boba a good guy and question his actions Cad Bane is the one to do that he is like a dark reflection of Boba. It would literally mirror his clone wars arc being obsessed with revenge but this time he would learn not to fall into it, as of right now idk how the tuskens made him into a good guy.
Something to note for anyone sad about him dying so quick, they established heavily the effectiveness a bathta tank does. noticce the badge on his vest, and how it only starts to blink shen he's in criticcal ccondition. It ccould be a distress beaccon, starting only when he's unable to move for himself. He can return.
I personally enjoy the Book of Boba Fett version because it felt appropriate for the story they were telling, Boba was trying to put his bounty hunting days behind him and become a good leader for Tatooine after spending years living amongst the Tuskens, he wasn’t able to beat Cad with the symbol of his old life because he wasn’t the same cold blooded killer he was when he was younger, but he managed to beat Cad with a weapon with deep cultural and spiritual connections to his adoptive home, also it means his training in Melee with the Gaffee Stick paid off.
@@kaozspartan9289 very rushed and cheapened by the fact that it’s one of those “Cad Bane dies but haha JK no he didn’t” tropes. Also, The entire battle and Bobas desire to be the daimyo were all invalidated and thrown out the window in the end when he’s like “we aren’t cut out for this”. It’s like WHAT?! Now they’re just gonna leave anyway and Cobb is gonna be the leader. Pointless show.
@@thoughtgaming492 it would’ve made for a more compelling show had Boba maintained his cold blooded personality but developed an understanding on the importance of the family unit and held a code of ethical principles for bounty hunting.
Also bear in mind that he’s been doing the same thing since before the clone wars. This guy has had the same getup and job for 60+, no wonder he got beat by someone trying a different approach, despite his gadgets he’s a one trick poney. As contrasted by the new boba.
I was fine with this duel. It gave Cad Bane the respect he deserves with his legendary career and also demonstrated why Boba was the best. No ego. Simple man making his way in the universe. Didn’t have to prove anything, or monologue when he was standing over someone. Picks his moment to turn it in his favour and gets the result.
Also thematically it's a rejection of Bane's "lone wolf" ideology. Fett is only able to get the upper hand as a direct result of living among the Tuskens.
@@torstent8979 Definitely along the same lines, but in less of a "friendship is magic" way and more of a "individuals are made stronger by cooperating and sharing skills" way.
Personally I would have introduced him at the end of episode 5 instead of episode six, have Boba/Fennec show before Mando finishes making his ship, have Mando go to meet Cob Vance before going to see Grogu and then have the ending of episode 6 as the ending of Episode 5, then Give Cadd some more stuff to do, also maybe have Cad kill the Gamoreans instead of having them pushed off a cliff.
@@InquisitorThomas Or just have the show 8 episodes instead of 7, and have an episode after episode 6 before the finale. Show more of the Pykes and Bane wreaking havoc, then show the finale.
@@InquisitorThomas Personally, I'd have put the mandalorian episodes out in the leadup to boba fett. Treat it like a special event instead of season 3, and have that last scene where he is recruited by fennic either be in the post credit scene or save it for book of boba fett.
I love how Boba defeated Bane based on something new that he learned. Bane is far more experienced than Boba in terms of a shootout and Bounty Hunting in general but with his newly learned skills was able to overcome Bane
@@sh0cktim3 Bane knew about the Sheriff of Freetown having worn the Beskar, and also about Boba's attachment and time spent with the Tusken tribe. I think this was all to show that he had done his homework on what had happened on Tatooine since Jabba's death. Maybe he had been there, like many bounty hunters, during Bib Fortuna's time as the Daimyo, or maybe he had simply been talking to people a lot after the Pikes (Pykes?) called for him.
Actually loved how Boba beat Bane. Bane has previously used Boba’s relation with the Tuskens as a weakness but Boba has consistently shown that being with the Tuskens made him wiser and stronger. Very touching victory in my opinion.
Honestly, even just this description, its so disney. Like, its so canned. Like as soon as he used his Gaderffi Stick I just KNEW this is what they were going to try and peddle to us. It's uninspired, frankly predictable and boring
@@tmouse1234 I get that, but theres a lot of critiques I disagree with too, this series just fell short for me in alot of ways, im not a bandwagon guy, I have my own opinions and comparisons
I really like the way this fight turned out, Boba tried to fight bane as a bounty hunter at first and lost. He then was able to win not because of his skills as a hunter, but by the skills he learned when he was apart of the tusken tribe. It really shows how much boba developed since return of the jedi and how he's trying not to be the ruthless bounty hunter he used to be.
It hits as well that Boba seems to be trying to be more the man Jango would have wanted him to be than just following in his footsteps, I mean we only have a very loose backstory to go by for sure and how canon it is is debatable at best, but Jango by the end was looking for a life with a bit more purpose, Jango had also come to the same realisation essentially that you can't survive without a tribe hence him wanting the Kaminoans to create Boba for him to begin with...
Temuera might be old, but holy hell I love his maori facial expressions and movements when he's in melee combat. When he's standing over Bane I totally forget how lack luster at times this series was. This was a good episode for him, in my opinion.
They underused Morrison completely, he’s actually terrifying when he uses his fists and it would’ve worked wonders for this show seeing Boba pummel people to death with his fists as his father did.
I finally realized what made this show feel lacking. Especially in the first few episodes and with the finale. It was the scale of it. We're expected to believe that Boba is taking over Jaba's part of the empire, or at least Mos Espa, which is a large city, but it never feels like his influence extends farther than a small group of people and the local neighborhood. That hurts the finale where it's built up to be this grand battle between Boba's group and the Pyke Syndicate who was established to be a powerful crime group. The finale ends up being a bunch of shooting down streets and very minimal variety. That lack of scale fails to set up this duel like the Clone Wars did which is why it feels lacking and the show feels like an incomplete story. Episodes 5 and 6 did not need this scale because they were telling a story completely centered around a few characters instead of the establishment of an empire.
Thats a good point I hadn't thought much about. Boba talks about how the Pyke syndicate will take over the entire planet with their spice trade, but there were only about 20 or 30 of them with just two droids. Ofc its harder to do Clone Wars scale battles in live action, but surely this isn't a low budget production that couldn't afford to depict some larger scale battles.
I agree. I felt the show kind of lacked a lot of scale especially when you consider the fact Jabba's empire reached far beyond just Tatooine. I also agree that the battle was too small. It looked cool but it was too small. Hopefully in Ahsoka the scale will be far larger considering Grand Admiral Thrawn will be in it.
Dont forget the jumbo droideka yawn battle. Shoot the shields, doesnt work, shoot the shields some more. Run 600 feet straight down a long road instead of splitting up into the small alleys, multi million credit droideka cant hit a single target running in a straight line. Cant even shoot through a mud and concrete wall.
honestly i think bobf's duel was better as when he defeats cad bane with the gaffi stick it shows how he has accepted the tuskens' loss and used their strength to make sure it doesn't happen to his new town.
A new town where 80 percent of the occupants are pretty hostile. Just because fennec killed off the heads dosent mean the entire family dosent still hate boba. Well 4 families in this case. Not to mention the pikes are like the biggest crime organization outside of the hutts, so I'd bet 50 bucks they're be 6 more transports full of pikes if they wanted tatooine
Also Cad Bane essentially represents what Boba used to be. A cold blooded bounty hunter killer with is only loyal to himself. Boba now though still kills but for an actual good reason
Say what you will about whether the fight was a good or bad end to Bane’s story, but I think we all can agree it would’ve been far more epic if they each actually used all the tools known to be in their arsenals against a one another. At the very least an air fight or shootout would’ve been cool with Fett’s jet pack and Cad’s rocket boots. We only really saw them use their guns, wrist flamethrower, and Boba’s stick, so much missed potential for a final clash of the greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy
See, while I agree that would be cool, I also think that it would kinda degrade the characters. Yes, an Avengers-style fight between the two would have been awesome, but it doesn't fit who they are. Throughout the clone wars, Bane was able to take down so many people just by being quick to the draw. If that didn't work, then he would use his other gadgets. Boba knows this, so instead of engaging in a prolonged and exhausting conflict with Bane, he lets the him get close enough for Boba to disarm him, using a technique that he learned apart from being a bounty hunter, and then killed him, an employee of the pikes, with the Gaffi stick, a symbol of Tatooine. In a way, this is a lot like the Obi-Wan Maul fight in rebels, sacrificing spectacle for story.
That's kinda silly. Cad Bane is so much a cowboy/outlaw archetype that a quick fight like what we saw (and also the unfinished Clone Wars clip did) fits far better than a long, over the top, fight would have. Similar to how Darth Maul and Obi-Wan's final battle was a one stroke duel was better than a overdrawn clash of blades
@@justanothertrucker7856 He paid for our sins with himself, at least understand the story if youre going to call it a fairy tale. Being disrespectful also makes you look uneducated. But I guess they go hand in hand
To me I think Boba was holding himself back because he was trying to forget his past while bane always called him out on it. He was forced and had no choice but to actually take bane out since other approaches like immobilizing him wasn’t working
There where things I really didn't like in this series But, Cad Bane and his final showdown with Boba Fett was fantastic! The story for the Clone Wars episodes that we never got to see was that Cad Bane wanted to prove that he was better than Jango Fett by training Boba Fett so Bane could beat him right? But Bane's ego kills him in the end. Sure, Cad Bane hasn't really shown much ego before, but this is the story that Filoni and Lucas planned for Cad Bane, and I think it makes sense and is interesting actually! So when Bane hears that Fett is trying to do better, to Be a Better person, of course he's gonna push all of Fett's buttons to get one out of two results; 1. He kills Boba Fett and and can finally rest knowing there's no one better than him, or 2. Fett kills him and he gets the last laugh because he destroys Boba's hopes of redemption and proves that Fett is and will always be a murdering scumbag, nothing more. It reminds me of the final Showdown between Kenobi and Maul in Rebels. Lots of people, myself included, didn't like it from the beginning. It was really short, but also compact. Now I can see all of the great details and the dialouge is also Great, in both Rebels and BoBF!
I really liked the fight between them this episode. I think they could've elaborated more on their background with each other. But just knowing that Bane was taught the base of his skills by Jango, then went on to raise and teach Boba during his teen years, makes this scene all the better. It's Boba honoring his dad by being his own man, and defying the slight fear he had of Cad Bane to show that he's the better of them all.
They should've introduced Bane earlier in the show and make it between them. We should've seen flashbacks of Boba's past and how he grew up, meeting Bane, etc.
The history between Bane and Boba is already fleshed out somewhat in Clone Wars. Even as a kid, Boba was making a name for himself as a capable bounty hunter, even working with Bane a few times. Plus Bane was trained by Jango, so he knew his father.
I personally was very pleased with how Bane went out. I thought it was a great way for him to get one last word, prove one last point, be right one last time. "I knew you were a killer" was really cool and is a great way to end Cad Bane's story. I also think that as the fastest gunslinger in the galaxy it was nice that he beat Boba on the draw. I also loved that he was pushing him and provoking him the whole episode, continuing to bring up the Tusken massacre to try and get a reaction out of him. Cad Bane is just as badass in Book of Boba as I was hoping he was going to be.
@@blight6972 true, after all is said and done, dying for the fucking Pyke Syndicate was lame. I guess that's just how bounty hunters die, uncalled for and meaningless.
@@ducminhduong9873 Well, isn't that the whole point of bounty hunting? Plus, even if Cad Bane was going to die I would prefer this death more than the possible other outcomes. Im sure we will get more Cad Bane, like he was only just introduced into live action. But I think the directors wanted a sense of closure between Boba and Cad before they do anything else (that's if Cad is actually is dead).
@@thespartan3736 Yeah it seems that's the way they've been going. Boba and Fennec's near death experiences, Jango's death, Aurra Sing's death where someone just pushed her off a cliff when she wasn't expecting it, and now Bane's death. All pointless/anticlimactic/avoidable.
"My final lesson...I knew you were a killer." If Cad really wanted to win then why lecture Boba? He seemed to have another motive besides executing a hit on a man.
It's strange, but when Cad finds out about how the Pikes destroyed the Tusken tribe and framed the bikers, he looked like he really did not like it and he did not immediately laugh at it, like the rest
The thing about it is, Jango wasnt always a stone cold killer, he was once a revolutionary and super commando who wanted to fight for the mandalorian people but became politically disillusioned. Cad Bane only knows that Jango, not the Jango who fought in the Mandalorian civil wars.
@@aguilarrojasoctavio4402 he’s definitely still alive. I guarantee it. They wouldn’t show that little beep for no reason so long after he was “killed”. terrible writing but what are you gonna do 🤷♂️
"Living with the Tuskens has made you soft." "No... it's made me strong." I just love how Boba using the weapon the Tusken's gifted him to beat Cad Bane.
Personally I liked how Their final standoff went down. Boba had the opportunity to take him down with the Mando at the beginning of the episode but it wouldn’t have meant anything. They could have written it so that he drew quicker but then he would only be playing Bane’s game. Instead he chooses to rely on his Tusken brethren and therefore has outgrown Bane by learning to rely on family.
which doesn't make any sense. Someone that fast to draw, with their finger on the trigger would have immediately shot as boba tried to move. I don't believe for a second that Boba could have pushed the gun out of the way before Bane fired.
@@alifuatyuvali9912 Well it happened. Maybe his Tusken training made him faster, so he could dodge then outskill Bane with his new Tusken martial arts.
This is nitpicking but I wish his hat was bigger, his skin was darker, and his eyes had more expression as they do in clone wars. His animated form had thinner eyes that would squint to show emotion, but the live action mostly used his mouth to show emotion
@@brus3460 that’s not the case it could possibly be that modern movies/series use dark filter so his dark blue skin would make his face less visible, same happen with Luke in episode 6 when his blue lightsaber couldn’t be visible due to the place shooting on Tatooine was to bright in the desert so George Lucas gave Luke a green visible lightsaber instead, original it was suppose to be only blue/red lightsaber.
It's a decent scene but it's weird how they build up the characters' history so much despite it never been actually shown on screen. If you didn't see the unfinished animatics, then you wouldn't understand the significance of this conflict.
Because you don't need to understand it. All a casual viewer needs to know is that Cad is a legendary bounty hunter (shown by easily capping Vanth) that is now an old man and has history with Boba. But as TCW viewers we know the significance of this fight
Just like Santo. If you hadn't read the Doctor Aphra comics he's basically just some badass wookie bounty hunter. It still works. Casual viewers don't need to know Santos complete backstory for it to work.
@@taylorhine2962 it's different tho because he was never addressed as cad bane so boba said "is cad bane with them" and anyone who hasn't seen tcw has no idea who he's talking about. And bane saying "I've known you a long time" is confusing to people who have never heard of him. Krisantan didn't need his backstory explained because his part in the show didn't rely on that information in any way
@@taylorhine2962 My sister who refused to watch TCW said Boba is gonna win just because he is the main character, and she called Ahsoka a "bitch" for refusing Mando to see Grogu. Ah yes...."you don't need to understand it".....
The metal plate was there in the bad batch show too so it had already been canonised and I’m glad it wasn’t his death as it would’ve been an anticlimactic ending for the Best Gunslinging bounty hunter in the galaxy xx
@@HouseMDLover69 the Answer to that is yes you definitely should. You need to watch Star Wars the clone wars, The bad Batch and also Star Wars Rebels if you can. Rebels first season starts off a bit rough but it gets better when you get to series 2 onwards. If you watch these shows it really helps to fill in the gaps of the events that happen in between Attack of the clones and Revenge of the Sith and then also filling in the gaps between Revenge of the Sith to A New Hope. Watching these shows also I introduces awesome characters into Star Wars lore, such as Ashoka Tano, Captain Rex, hando Annkah, Fives, Cad Bane, Asajj Ventress, Savage Opress,General Kalani, Echo, Wrecker, Crosshair, Tech, Sabine, Zeb, Hera, Kanan etc. you also get much closer to the clones in the clone wars, seeing them grow as people with their own unique personalities, and even friends. Making the impact of Order 66 even more Devastating xx
The duel was actually the best part of Book of Boba..it made sense Cad was quicker than Boba. I even liked the idea of Boba using the Sand people's techniques to "kill" him..seeing as how Bane was the one who slaughtered them. I just wish Cad Bane's issues with Boba had fueled the show more than Flashback's and all of the posturing in the criminal underworld. Boba spent more time running his mouth than doing anything.
The whole episode including this scene was just poorly directed, I mean just at how many cutaways they had just to show boba stabbing cad, almost gave me a seizure. Worse than all those cuts to show liam neeson jumping a fence in taken 3
@@xSabinx1 Im trying to figure out where tf the spear came from. Also if it was attached to his back then there's no way Boba would be quick enough to use it.
I thought I’d be sad about his death. But it brings a sense of… resolution. We got him in bad batch since he survived his duel with boba, and had him all through clone wars. It all comes down to his presentation. Bane is now a disgruntled and weary bounty hunter in his old age. It felt like a resolution that he finally met his end at boba’s hands as this rivalry had been brewing for decades. So long cad bane. You were always the coolest bounty Hunter
I still think bane shouldve won. Boba was in an even worse state, and even showed that bane had him. Made the stupid move of going close, and getting attacked with the man whose shoulders have just been shot twice with a laser gun that shouldve killed him?
Boba should really be taking in this victory. Cad bane has taken hundreds of missions that would involve Jedi, and for this incredibly high level of bounty hunting he’s been on the top of the food chain. Here we are 28 years later, bane finally is taken down by an old rival who is ready to hang his hat and begin a new way of life.
You think Boba doesn't know. Btw when he was like a 14 year old kid he almost killed Bane. YES. That scene is canon to me because of the plate on his head. This was Boba killing a 100 year old (71 in Duros years) and Bane still didn't go down without a fight. Good send off for legend bane
@@taylorhine2962 except for that it wasn’t a send off cause those Disney cucks don’t know how to kill a character so they pulled the “he’s dead except for haha JK he really isn’t and will be back again later.”
I doubt he’s dead. Judging by the blinking light on his chest, which is assumed to be a beacon. Even if he is dead, he will most likely appear in more prequel stuff, like Bad Batch, and maybe even Obi Wan Kenobi
I wish we got a story of two old bounty hunters who stopped being hunters for a specific reason. Last time we saw Bane it was when he tried to to traffick Omega. The one thing evident from that fight is that he is slower, that his only good attribute anymore is that he's a gunslinger. Once he loses his ability to bounty he has to reinvent himself but for the wrong reason. Bane is not a guy that gives up he like to kill, get rich, and be a scum. In this version we find out during the Empire many bounty hunters were suppressed to the hand of the Empire just like the Mandolarians. They were a threat since they had no allegiance, many were freelance and that could be a threat to the Empire since the rebels could pay for trained hunters. The ones that allied with the Empire were allowed to reign free, but those who didn't were curb stomped. Except the ones that were backed by the syndicates and did they're dirty work in the shadows. Bane tried to be backed by the Empire but was seen as two old and worthless compared to Dengar or his apprentice Fett who he had scars from. Once he is denied his hubris causes him to create his own syndicate of fallen bounty hunters, bounty hunters that had to adapt. After Fett falls to the sarlacc Bane is exubrent that Boba is dead. But more importantly Jabba, but he can't take the thrown the Fett's have too much power too much power to protect Bib. Though as there has been new order and the new republic has been harsh on the fetts, Boba is able to take the throne so easily. This is Banes calling card to go for the riches of the palace. The spice that is transported on the world, but also a shot at killing Boba. He sends his hunters, but to no avail . He eventually realises he must take him on himself, with his soldiers and we get a showdown etc. Maybe, this story couldn't be done and might have problems but it would have been interesting.
It could even be a competition to see who could top Bib Fortuna first. Leave this "for the populism" vibe for a second season and focus in the race to be don Corleone.
Do you expect someone who is 70+ to move like they were in their 30s? Cad without his blaster was never a real threat in hand-to-hand combat and now that he's an old man of course he would get his ass whooped. Expecations? It happened the way Dave Filoni wanted it to happen.
To move like he is in his 30s? Nahhh I just expected him not to get beat by a stick if he is one of the greatest assasins in space. He is old but pointing a gun at someones head and showing his quick thinking in the previous episode I’d like it if this battle finished differently
? I know his guns added to his threat but he has literally beat the piss out of not just Jedi but Obi Wan too Dudes lethal no matter whats in his hand he’s like the John Wick Angel Eyes baby Star Wars has
Man it doesn't even make sense that they would have a assassin thats so old. But the show really went to new horizons to make cad a worse bounty Hunter.
@@TSE_WOODY He's over 70... Even the best fighters get old. Do you think John Wick at 70 will be the same "lethal" as he is now? What makes it worse is Cad's race. Duros only live for about 70 years. Cad is literally an OLD man.
I like how Bane tossed aside Boba's helmet. Sure it was to kill him but it also had a deeper meaning of a mandalorian being defeated by having his helmet removed by his enemy. Also from the way Bane and Boba interact its like Bane was an abusive mentor to Boba during his youth and now they are settling the score
Cad mentored boba as a boy because jango mentored cad. I dont think it was that he was particularly abusive, just more of a "i taught you everything you know, now heres one last lesson boy" type of thing
This comment is why this show was horrible. They missed a golden opportunity to make Cad Bane the main antagonist. Having the story revolve around the relationship between the two, showing flashbacks of Boba's early days with Bane. That scene was cool and all but it really had no weight behind it, just like the whole season.
Boba Fett's helmet being removed by his enemy wouldn't be so bad. Now Din Djarin would probably freak out if he lost his helmet in combat since he takes the Mandalorian creed more seriously than any other Mandalorian. He's already in trouble admitting that he's taken off his helmet.
This scene would have been more impactful if we got a flashback of the deleted Boba vs Bane duel from the Clone Wars, and if Bane had appeared earlier in the series.
@@EverythingFitz ah yeah sorry my mistake. Tbf tho wouldn't be much of a main villain if he didn't try gloat before shooting him which is what gave him the time
Love how all these episodes just look like what pilot episodes are EACH episode haha. Where it hints off and gives conclusion each end, literally almost like fan trailers to batman vs Predator or Wolverine vs predator or other cool ones.
I never really liked Bane, but this show let him go out as the fastest draw. There was no disrespect to the character with this end. Boba won because he was more adaptive & had better equipment. Boba just knows how to . . . *pick* his fights. *Like a bantha.*
Boba didn't win because he has better equipment, he won because Cad Bane got too cocky. This is supposed to be a part that shows that the downfall of Cad Bane is his own overconfident.
@@smallone2351 cockiness did play a part, but you cannot deny that: 1) Boba would be dead without his armor, or that 2) Bane has never been strong at close quarters, hand-to-hand combat, & Boba picked up an unconventional weapon Bane wasn't familiar with fighting. Once Bane was close enough to touch Boba's armor, even if to remove the helmet to get a killing shot, Boba only needed to deflect that one shot to turn thongs around, & he did so with his armored forearm.
@@IamMeHere2See I know Boba is better at close quarter comabt, but Cade Bane didn't have to get close to Boba at all, he could just shoot Boba repeatedly from a distance. If that happened, Boba's gear and armor would not be any useful, but Cad decided to get close just because he's cocky.
I thought their duel was pretty awsome, you really feel their history from the Clone Wars and Boba defeating him with something he was given because of his compassion really shows how Bane was wrong
Na , Boba is still a killer , exposing the hypocrisy of his “ good guy “ persona . Cade had the last laugh against a man that’s known for his “ Honor “
@@Mediocre0 that is also true! Wow never really thought of that, the weapon was given to him because of compassion, but in the end he still murdered Bane and that proves what he said about Boba
I honestly thought there was going to be some fist fighting, close quarters gun shots, so more grap and holding, and some booster jumping. Has everyone forgotten about Cad Bane's rocket boots?
This fight is something I wanted actually. Just like Maul vs Kenobi, we know what they’re both capable of and what will happen. Cad is a better gunfighter and Boba has become even better at close quarters, perfect honestly. And don’t worry, Cad will be back if a Season 2 or Mando Season 3 pops up. Now Cad will have quarrel with Din for helping Boba
@@mangosteak how can a man go out in style after being stabbed by a stick while laid on his back with his legs in the air like a bitch this scene was pathetic
Old Boba got outdrawn because he used a rifle/submachine against a handblaster; if he used his sidearm, it’s fair to argue they’d hit one another again If I were writing, I’d have him use his rocket pack to joust into Cad Bane, who’s clearly at this stage not much for hand-to-hand
@@mrtwig2102 it’s interesting rematch: Bane got brained last time so his performance might be affected, but Boba is nearly 2x the target size he was before and now has the gap Cad targeted… if it were me, I’d just drop belly-down and blindfire the rpg on my back 😉
Both are perfect. I didn't love the show overall but the way they handled Cad Bane was masterful, I really liked this confrontation. Boba accepts he's a leader and embraces his tusken side and takes out the embodiment of the worst part of himself.
@@anthonymilc9721 he was a lot more than fanservice, if he was simple fanservice get wouldn't have died. He was there to inform Bobas arc and it worked well.
You going to call Kingpin's cameo in Hawkeye masterful too? They shoehorned him in the last two episodes instead of building him up lmao. This finale was trash.
This paired with the scorponach annihilator droids had me literally screaming with joy, which wasn't exactly the greatest idea because I had to go to work afterwards and I had a hoarse voice the entire time. Absolutely worth it though
I feel like when boba got out the stick, he was letting out his old self, after the sarlacc he didn’t want to be so blood thirsty, but in the life or death situation he was put in by bane, he let go
People complaints about cad bane: -how he looks -how he talks (yes ive seen people complain about his voice) -how he walks (this one is a joke but knowing some fans i wouldnt be suprised if they complain about this too) -how his skin looks -Not much screen time -And last but 100% not least how he died. And i can answer all these with this: -this is live action not some 3d animation series, ofc he will look a bit different and i think they nailed it with his look -His voice is also good, in fact i thought he was being voiced by the same dude from clone wars. -his skin also looks fine lol, dudes old, skin changes a bit while becoming older -My man has literally more screen time than boba fett himself. Sure maybe not in this series but u guys arent counting clone wars, and star wars games that show him more than boba lmao. -And finally his death is acceptable for me. My dude lived from the republic era to the empresa downfall at some point he would have gotte killed off and what a better way than getting killed in a 1v1 of skill, strenght, and intelligence against someone he lectured.
I love how this episode came out yesterday and everyone is using it in videos and disney doesnt go around copyright striking everyone. That's a really solid move on their part cuz it expands their reach and builds alot of cool fan-made content around it, but most companies don't understand that and just start freaking out about copyrights.
Well, i guess the westar twin guns of Jango are lighter and more fitted for this kind of standoff. Boba's blaster is more powerfull but not the best option for a duel, love this episode
honestly I like this ending for Cad, ofc it would be awesome to see him more but this guy is an old man, we have seen him a lot throughout star wars and cant just keep him around forever. It wasn't a bad or lame death but it could have been a little more climactic
Shhh don't tell them, I wanna see their reactions when it comes, hope Disney don't think the reactions to this show are bad lol, they gonna see what bad is when they fuck Kenobi up 😂
in fairness cad bane was 71, incredibly old for his species and still put up a fight the scene isnt great it feels like they stop to let eachother do a cool pose and get a shot or flame throw in. disappointing but semi realistic
I felt like there wasn’t enough fighting from Cad bane and I’d rather he had shown up in episode 1 and throughout the series as his return felt very rushed and disappointing a little. I’m glad it was definitely boba to kill him as it’s a fitting end for the bounty hunter but I wish we had got some more lines from Cad before his death and I hope he isn’t actually dead 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx
I feel humiliating Boba like that would’ve been enough for Cad. For some reason I felt like he would care less about completing his job if it meant killing Boba Fett, also, it’s odd that he decided to try and kill Boba after the pykes were run out of town. I feel like if Cad was the last guy left it would be more in character for him to fly away, especially since he actually knows Boba Fett. Or my judgment is clouded by my want for more Cad Bane
I absolutely love where they took Boba's character. How can you not love and respect a guy like that. Completely honorable and an absolute bad ass who finished a decades long feud with a stick.
Yeah that honourable guy who shot bib fortuna without a second thought, or when he gave thieves, who robbed his vassals, a job and only paid the merchant half of his losses, because his prices were too high. The show tries its best to portray him as such, but it just makes him come off as weird and inconsistent
i think it would have been cool to watch him close cad's eyes, as if he still held a sense of respect for him in a way. after all, cad bane mentored boba and bane is just doing a job. i suppose the tusken comments were personal but it still would have been a good way to should boba's sense of respect for others. i guess boba really is a cold blooded killer that worked for the empire
You have got to be kidding me... after all Cad has been through, every Jedi he has killed and defeated, and Boba takes him out with some simple martial arts? I know he’s old, but he’s still Cad Bane. I mean dang c’mon, Cad needs a more meaningful death than that, he basically raised Boba for crying out loud, it’s outrageous, it’s unfair.!
I prefer the real conclusion, Bobas was never able to out speed cad bane (the duel in the clone wars era did happened) so he basically outsmart him pretty much like how Obi Wan defeated Darth Maul in Rebels, and he did it with a symbol of his new beliefs

The show is basically implying the first duel already happen, Boba has the dent on his helmet and Cad has a plate on his head.They both survived
This show and Bad Batch basically confirmed it.
Idk why they didn't continue that first duel episode after every opportunities they had. Would've prefer that arc over the Martinez sister anyday lmao
Then why would Bane say he is faster? If they both shot and hit each other I would think they would be close to, if not evenly matched. I'm sure they've had stuff similar off screen, but idk about a duel like this. Unless Boba just got much slower or wasn't trying idk
@@D-tail Maybe the duel didn't went exactly as we saw it, or Maybe Bane was faster but the armor gave Boba some time to shoot after getting shot
@@D-tail According to some comments, Duros do not suffer the same deterioration as humans as they reach old age.
That doesn’t make sense, the Boba Fett of episodes V and VI already had the dent, it wouldn’t be logic to remove it afterwards
Boba Fett has never been known as a quick draw ace in Star Wars. I would argue Han is far faster based on his Greedo plot armor. Even in the Shadow of the Empire comics, Boba's main strength is being a tactician and outsmarting his enemies. When he was against Luke, he demonstrated none of Jango's precision or volume in shots. The fact that he appealed to Cad Bane's ego in savoring the moment was probably his best bet at catching him off guard.
I dunno, Cad Bane's roughly 71 years old by this point, he should really know better.
And now this episode proved he’s a tactical and strategic dunce. He can’t draw fast and he can’t plan ahead… so he’s just some meathead Mandalorian cosplayer with a superiority complex
@@Elcrisso1 They have certainly killed any respect i had for the character of Boba Fett.. Lets hope Bane is still alive, at least he seemed to be in character..
@@Elcrisso1 salty much, huh?
Cad Banes ego💀💀 when tf have we EVER seen Cad Banes ego make him screw up like That. He’s not Anakin bruh what is this. Plus he’s older now so he should be wiser
I feel like this fight between them would have been better if we got that lost clone wars scene in live action for this show taking place after the bad batch, that way we would think Cad Bane was dead from their first QuickDraw. If they incorporate Cad Bane into the story more, then this fight would be more climactic
Their first duel really should've been in the Bad Batch.
I just wish cad was in the show more he barely gets any screentime to be a big villian
Would have been better fit than the Martez sisters arc!
I agree. It’s hard to assume every single fan knows about the unfinished scene, but at least those of us who do, can appreciate it a little more. Im still hoping to see it eventually
@@digitalanthracks7863 at this point he is still more of an antihero
I love how Bane tries to do the whole "you're just a killer like me" thing and instead of sparing Bane to prove some kind of dumb "I'm not like you" point, Fett just takes him out without a word. There are degrees of killers. There are murderers who savor the kill with sadistic speeches about lessons and shit, and there are warriors who shut up and get it done.
This is a solid argument against all the people saying boba was being portrayed as too weak/heroic in this show, at the end of the day he's still gonna get the job done he's just become more honorable/noble
You realize that warrior and murderer are synonymous right. Like being a "warrior" doesnt make you not sadistic.
@@AtreVire There is a difference between being a man of honour but a killer (yes honour is stupid but still) and sadistic. Sadism means you enjoy it, a killed of honour means that you will do it but not necessarily with pleasure
@@unlimitedpower1385 sure, but being a warrior does not mean man of honour. Thats a childish interpretation of war. And Boba Fett used to disintegrate people for fun so he definitely isnt either
@@AtreVire I'm always amazed by the way surface level understanding makes people so confident.
If they had this season longer, it would have been nice seeing some interaction with Bane in Boba's past, along with some nods to Jango.
What if in a secret compartment in Slave 1 or in Boba's quarters in Jabba's palace, Boba had a box that contained his father's old Westar blasters, and he broke them out to duel with Cad Bane? It was nice seeing Kamino and a young Boba, but it would have been great if Morrison reprised the role of Jango in Boba's memories; show him having father-son bonding moments and why Boba valued his relationship with his father so much.
Longer? Length wasn’t the issue. They had all the time they needed. But they spent 2 episodes on the mandalorian and 3 on the tuskans who they just killed off screen. 7 episodes wasn’t the issue, stupid decisions and terrible writing was
@@philipschwichtenberg7532 the writing wasn't awful imo, I think it's just the direction
The first 4 episodes could've easily been merged into a hour long premiere (like the bad batch)
They could've left some stuff out, like the twins showing up (unless that's setup for season 2???) Because the bar scene with Krrsantan could've just been repurposed to be his introduction scene
The mando episode could've just been a single filler episode, he still could've been there but they didn't need to take the focus off of boba for that long
@@Drendermen78 I would argue that’s partly the writibg. The story was wack and all over the place
@@Drendermen78 its both writing and directing.
Are you telling me "Like a Bantha!" Is good writing?
Robert Rodríguez did an awful job but so did the writers of the first 4 and the last episodes. What the heck were they thinking?
Honestly i'm pretty sure they had boba fett trying to leave his past behind, from a ruthless bounty hunter like jango, to a civilized leader
My only complaint about Cad Bane’s inclusion in TBoBF is that it was so brief. It felt like less of a major role and more like a cameo. Luke Skywalker probably had more screentime than Cad Bane. I have a lot more issues with the series, though it is still passable. A few more episodes of development focused on Boba Fett and maybe a bit more representation of Boba’s ruthless side were sorely needed in my view. As well as the inclusion of Cad Bane far earlier and the development of his relationship with Boba and Jango through flashbacks. But what we got was still super cool too. While this moment felt too brief it feels good rewatching it.
Also his hat wasn't wide enough
I feel there's a severe lack of direction in the show, some characters like the Pyke boss, the Hutts, and the Mayor are built up, but they just leave or die in five minutes, whereas Cad Bane comes out of nowhere in the second last episode. It would have been nice to have the Pyke boss hint at calling in Cad Bane in Episode 3 or 4 just to build it up at least.
@@spacegremlin9972 He was already wearing a smaller hat in the Bad Batch
@@Bryan-dr5qy yes... and it's not wide enough
Luke Skywalker might have technically got more screen time than Cad Bane but that’s only because of all those filler scenes where he’s walking with Grogu and gently Force Pushes him to keep up the pace.

@@grzesixgrzesix4993 Yeah Among everything they fucked up in this show, namely Boba Fetts character in General.. Theres the age plothole they've created; Boba is supposed to be 41-42 years old by the time of the Book of Boba Fett, But thanks to Jon Favreau being a lazy fuck, He didnt bother to de-age Temuera Morrison whos 61 Irl, instead he ran with the idea that he was in fact a old man and has characters constantly mock Boba by calling him Old in the show, When in fact he should still be in his prime at this point. Which has resulted in a lot of confusion among many in the audience who follow the lore.
Okay, I can't be the only one with a strong feeling that they cramped 20 episodes into 7. That would explain so much.
The other episodes didn't feel as rushed, but this one was just way too cramped. They tried to do too much giving all these characters their moment, and the only way they could pull it off was having everyone make stupid decisions in service off the plot.
"We need to protect the town, so let's fight the war here so we can blow it up and smash it with a rancor"
"Great idea, best plan would be to isolate ourselves across a massive space instead of consolidating our forces"

@@Baloo106 well I mean the guy that directed this episode was the same guy that directed spy kids. It peaks through so many cracks.
Possibly. I've always hated having these shorter seasons. What even was it that pioneered this shorter form? The first time I noticed it was in Game of Thrones... and we all know how that ended up... I keep waiting for some franchise to finally pioneer a return to the long form seasons; I'd even settle for the twelve episode format, if full 20-episode seasons are out of the question. But ultimately, it's down to the problem of them having so little story to tell in the first place that they can't even create ANY kind of filler to pad it out to 20 full episodes. In the case of Boba Fett, though... two of the episodes are literally The Mandalorian. I'm not saying that there isn't any story to tell; I'm saying that whoever is in control here just doesn't know how to tell any kind of story. I mean, I hate flashbacks, period, and there was absolutely no need to tell this story through flashbacks, but the Tusken stuff was some of the best parts in my opinion; the first season should have just been all of that, and THEN have Boba try to start his own guild or syndicate, not this back and forth nonsense. It just gives the audience whiplash.
@@ian8477 I agree, though generally don't shows that have 20 episodes have 20-30 minute runtimes? I'd actually rather have 8-10 longer episodes that can sink their teeth into their subject matter. Also 20 episodes of like, The West Wing is one thing, 20 episodes of CG, puppetry and costume design for star wars is quite another!
I think ultimately they just bit off way, way more than they could chew here. They wanted Hutts, they wanted tuskens, they wanted street gangs, they wanted frontier malitias, they wanted a wookie, they wanted to fill in the assassin's character history (forgot her name), they wanted the Mandolorian's original clan back, they wanted dark sabre lore, they wanted to bring the vissla family back into the story, they wanted a new ship, they wanted jawa sex scenes alluded to, they wanted CG Like Skywalker and Asoka setting up a Jedi temple, they wanted flashbacks to order 66, they wanted an infant getting shot at with a drone, they wanted a rancor, they wanted a cheesy assistant to the mayor in every damn episode, they wanted a biker gang, they wanted a spice gang, they wanted massive droidikas, they wanted Cad Baine, they wanted a florescent space scooter chase scene, they wanted a ring world, they wanted those green pig guys fighting ninjas, they wanted a comedy rat catcher droid that made it to the final shot.
I don't think amount of time or budget that would make this amphetamine-fueled panic attack of star wars references into a cohesive story. It was a fun show to watch, and the tuskens were my favorite story arc too, but it should have stayed a simple story about Bobba Fett doing cool Bobba Fett stuff.
I like the duel in Book of Boba Fett. It demonstrates the reputation of both Fett and Bane as the best bounty hunters on their own strength. Bane is an expert gunslinger but Boba Fett is a more agile fighter at close quarters. It make sense Bane won initially, until he move close quarters to removed Fett's beskar helmet. Then Fett gain the upper hand.
But it doesn't though... Bane has gone in hand to hand with tough fighters and won.
@@melancholybobbyjoe and then died to Boba. Boba won fair and square. 1 on 1, without interference, and in canon.

I liked how Bane told Hunter about how many clones he's killed over the years and how easy they are.
Here he's defeated and killed by Boba Fett.
A clone.
Boba Fett was able to overcome his close quarters handicap that made Han Solo beat him with the help of the Tuskan Raiders.
I don’t think they did Cad Bane dirty in this scene. He went up against a guy wearing beskar armor and nearly won. That takes skill. Also I’m pretty sure that he’s still alive since his heart monitor was still beeping. The one thing I didn’t like about this was the fact that this scene is in reference to a Clone Wars episode that was never released (yet somehow was still made canon). They could’ve fixed this by making Season 7 of the Clone Wars longer.
Or they could have just replaced the dumbass middle arc of season 7
or OR they can adapt it to live action in season 2.

Literally all I would have wanted was for Boba to say, "I've beat you once Bane," or something to that effect, and it would have been so mint. Everything would have come full circle. This duel gets pseudo-canonized, Boba's classic, gritty demeanor returns, and the dual becomes just that much more exciting to old time fans.
The duel is already pseudo-canonized with the metal plate in cad’s head. You don’t always have to say expositions to spoon feed ideas to the audience. It’s like when people wanted the MJ and Andrew scene. It’s so corny when you give out information when you can just show it.

@@bubrub5564 that could be anything, and it also implies cad is dead in the episode
I heard that all the finished episodes they didn’t get to or finish are considered canon.
The outcome of the duel made sense to me. The mentor is still ahead of the student in terms of being a shooter. But then the student learned something new via the Tuskens and that's what made the difference. Though I still think Cad Bane is still alive (what is that red light on this chest that's beeping?). I don't think they'd kill him off just like that.
Yeah but also you shouldnt have to watch the entirety of the clone wars for cad bane if you never watched any of that, you would think of him as another goon, they absolutely didnt do him service as a villain or as a beloved character with alot of history with Boba, that stuff needs to be reintroduced for new viewers, who is this show for id understand, he shouldve been in the show from episode 2/3 they could've had him kill the tuskens I see so much potential missed, if they wanted to make boba a good guy and question his actions Cad Bane is the one to do that he is like a dark reflection of Boba. It would literally mirror his clone wars arc being obsessed with revenge but this time he would learn not to fall into it, as of right now idk how the tuskens made him into a good guy.
i really hope he’s getting some cybernetics. he already has a metal plate on his dome, it would be awesome to more of him in live actkon

"Dies" ?
@@cilerman6787 Cad Weekend
Cad Bane is one of the coolest characters. The fact that he was able to defeat multiple Jedi, and almost kill Boba Fett is incredible
Something to note for anyone sad about him dying so quick, they established heavily the effectiveness a bathta tank does. noticce the badge on his vest, and how it only starts to blink shen he's in criticcal ccondition.
It ccould be a distress beaccon, starting only when he's unable to move for himself.
He can return.
I personally enjoy the Book of Boba Fett version because it felt appropriate for the story they were telling, Boba was trying to put his bounty hunting days behind him and become a good leader for Tatooine after spending years living amongst the Tuskens, he wasn’t able to beat Cad with the symbol of his old life because he wasn’t the same cold blooded killer he was when he was younger, but he managed to beat Cad with a weapon with deep cultural and spiritual connections to his adoptive home, also it means his training in Melee with the Gaffee Stick paid off.
this is a great take, I enjoyed it too, like when boba was able to show restraint when initially challenged by cad, that was tense af
But it was all rushed and just had no emotional weight to it. It just didn't make any sense at all because of how rushed it was
@@kaozspartan9289 very rushed and cheapened by the fact that it’s one of those “Cad Bane dies but haha JK no he didn’t” tropes.
Also, The entire battle and Bobas desire to be the daimyo were all invalidated and thrown out the window in the end when he’s like “we aren’t cut out for this”. It’s like WHAT?! Now they’re just gonna leave anyway and Cobb is gonna be the leader. Pointless show.
@@thoughtgaming492 it would’ve made for a more compelling show had Boba maintained his cold blooded personality but developed an understanding on the importance of the family unit and held a code of ethical principles for bounty hunting.
Also bear in mind that he’s been doing the same thing since before the clone wars. This guy has had the same getup and job for 60+, no wonder he got beat by someone trying a different approach, despite his gadgets he’s a one trick poney. As contrasted by the new boba.
I was fine with this duel. It gave Cad Bane the respect he deserves with his legendary career and also demonstrated why Boba was the best. No ego. Simple man making his way in the universe. Didn’t have to prove anything, or monologue when he was standing over someone. Picks his moment to turn it in his favour and gets the result.
Also thematically it's a rejection of Bane's "lone wolf" ideology. Fett is only able to get the upper hand as a direct result of living among the Tuskens.
@@TheBabaloga That's Anime/Manga-Style..."by the power of friendship!"
@@torstent8979 Definitely along the same lines, but in less of a "friendship is magic" way and more of a "individuals are made stronger by cooperating and sharing skills" way.
The dynamic between them continued Boba's "father figure" aspect from Clone Wars.
The fight was quick and stupid
They really could've had given Bane more screen time and at least had him and Boba acknowledge their past more.
I'm sure he is alive. His heart monitor still pumped. I don't think they are so stupid to kill him so fast
Personally I would have introduced him at the end of episode 5 instead of episode six, have Boba/Fennec show before Mando finishes making his ship, have Mando go to meet Cob Vance before going to see Grogu and then have the ending of episode 6 as the ending of Episode 5, then Give Cadd some more stuff to do, also maybe have Cad kill the Gamoreans instead of having them pushed off a cliff.
@@InquisitorThomas Or just have the show 8 episodes instead of 7, and have an episode after episode 6 before the finale. Show more of the Pykes and Bane wreaking havoc, then show the finale.

@@jeterpakab5133 so fast?? Xdd he lived long enough. They can bring him in empire times
I love how Boba defeated Bane based on something new that he learned. Bane is far more experienced than Boba in terms of a shootout and Bounty Hunting in general but with his newly learned skills was able to overcome Bane
I think this the only reason Boba won. Bane was not aware of his training with the Tuskens or that he even had the gaffistick.
@@sh0cktim3 Bane knew about the Sheriff of Freetown having worn the Beskar, and also about Boba's attachment and time spent with the Tusken tribe. I think this was all to show that he had done his homework on what had happened on Tatooine since Jabba's death. Maybe he had been there, like many bounty hunters, during Bib Fortuna's time as the Daimyo, or maybe he had simply been talking to people a lot after the Pikes (Pykes?) called for him.
Nah it was dumb
Also because bane did the villain thing where you monologue and give the other person a chance to get the upper hand
@@Drehirth Boba's armor was covering his vital organs, including his brain.
Actually loved how Boba beat Bane. Bane has previously used Boba’s relation with the Tuskens as a weakness but Boba has consistently shown that being with the Tuskens made him wiser and stronger. Very touching victory in my opinion.
Made him tougher and wiser.... Like a Bantha! 😃 Yes?
Honestly, even just this description, its so disney. Like, its so canned. Like as soon as he used his Gaderffi Stick I just KNEW this is what they were going to try and peddle to us. It's uninspired, frankly predictable and boring
Yeah, if they were going to do it, then I think that was the best way to go about it.
@@TheOrderOfDanos I feel like you’re the type of guy to not like something just for the sake of not liking it.
@@tmouse1234 I get that, but theres a lot of critiques I disagree with too, this series just fell short for me in alot of ways, im not a bandwagon guy, I have my own opinions and comparisons
I really like the way this fight turned out, Boba tried to fight bane as a bounty hunter at first and lost. He then was able to win not because of his skills as a hunter, but by the skills he learned when he was apart of the tusken tribe. It really shows how much boba developed since return of the jedi and how he's trying not to be the ruthless bounty hunter he used to be.
It hits as well that Boba seems to be trying to be more the man Jango would have wanted him to be than just following in his footsteps, I mean we only have a very loose backstory to go by for sure and how canon it is is debatable at best, but Jango by the end was looking for a life with a bit more purpose, Jango had also come to the same realisation essentially that you can't survive without a tribe hence him wanting the Kaminoans to create Boba for him to begin with...
And how little Bane has developed over the years.
@@jfangm Bane never would change. He would be forever a heartless bastard that only cares about either killing for sport or killing for money.
This comment got it right
nahh this new boba is trash
Temuera might be old, but holy hell I love his maori facial expressions and movements when he's in melee combat. When he's standing over Bane I totally forget how lack luster at times this series was. This was a good episode for him, in my opinion.
They underused Morrison completely, he’s actually terrifying when he uses his fists and it would’ve worked wonders for this show seeing Boba pummel people to death with his fists as his father did.
I finally realized what made this show feel lacking. Especially in the first few episodes and with the finale. It was the scale of it. We're expected to believe that Boba is taking over Jaba's part of the empire, or at least Mos Espa, which is a large city, but it never feels like his influence extends farther than a small group of people and the local neighborhood.
That hurts the finale where it's built up to be this grand battle between Boba's group and the Pyke Syndicate who was established to be a powerful crime group. The finale ends up being a bunch of shooting down streets and very minimal variety. That lack of scale fails to set up this duel like the Clone Wars did which is why it feels lacking and the show feels like an incomplete story.
Episodes 5 and 6 did not need this scale because they were telling a story completely centered around a few characters instead of the establishment of an empire.
Thats a good point I hadn't thought much about. Boba talks about how the Pyke syndicate will take over the entire planet with their spice trade, but there were only about 20 or 30 of them with just two droids. Ofc its harder to do Clone Wars scale battles in live action, but surely this isn't a low budget production that couldn't afford to depict some larger scale battles.
Until he rode the rancor in town and gained everyone’s respect
I agree. I felt the show kind of lacked a lot of scale especially when you consider the fact Jabba's empire reached far beyond just Tatooine. I also agree that the battle was too small. It looked cool but it was too small. Hopefully in Ahsoka the scale will be far larger considering Grand Admiral Thrawn will be in it.
@@landofhadron3836 After the screwed up Boba so badly, don't expect them to do Thrawn any justice.
Dont forget the jumbo droideka yawn battle.
Shoot the shields, doesnt work, shoot the shields some more. Run 600 feet straight down a long road instead of splitting up into the small alleys, multi million credit droideka cant hit a single target running in a straight line. Cant even shoot through a mud and concrete wall.
honestly i think bobf's duel was better as when he defeats cad bane with the gaffi stick it shows how he has accepted the tuskens' loss and used their strength to make sure it doesn't happen to his new town.
A new town where 80 percent of the occupants are pretty hostile. Just because fennec killed off the heads dosent mean the entire family dosent still hate boba. Well 4 families in this case. Not to mention the pikes are like the biggest crime organization outside of the hutts, so I'd bet 50 bucks they're be 6 more transports full of pikes if they wanted tatooine
Also Cad Bane essentially represents what Boba used to be. A cold blooded bounty hunter killer with is only loyal to himself. Boba now though still kills but for an actual good reason
Ah yes the town that he destroyed with a rancor
Fair enough. I could care less about sticks to be honest… I liked Boba for his gadgets & technology. The Tusken stuff was a huge miss for me
Say what you will about whether the fight was a good or bad end to Bane’s story, but I think we all can agree it would’ve been far more epic if they each actually used all the tools known to be in their arsenals against a one another. At the very least an air fight or shootout would’ve been cool with Fett’s jet pack and Cad’s rocket boots. We only really saw them use their guns, wrist flamethrower, and Boba’s stick, so much missed potential for a final clash of the greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy
See, while I agree that would be cool, I also think that it would kinda degrade the characters. Yes, an Avengers-style fight between the two would have been awesome, but it doesn't fit who they are. Throughout the clone wars, Bane was able to take down so many people just by being quick to the draw. If that didn't work, then he would use his other gadgets. Boba knows this, so instead of engaging in a prolonged and exhausting conflict with Bane, he lets the him get close enough for Boba to disarm him, using a technique that he learned apart from being a bounty hunter, and then killed him, an employee of the pikes, with the Gaffi stick, a symbol of Tatooine. In a way, this is a lot like the Obi-Wan Maul fight in rebels, sacrificing spectacle for story.
That's kinda silly. Cad Bane is so much a cowboy/outlaw archetype that a quick fight like what we saw (and also the unfinished Clone Wars clip did) fits far better than a long, over the top, fight would have. Similar to how Darth Maul and Obi-Wan's final battle was a one stroke duel was better than a overdrawn clash of blades
"So much missed potential" that apply also to Boba's whole live action apparence imo
@Sw00t_y PrD Jesus christ was sacrificed by his father for the sake of humanity. It's an odd fairy tale to say the least.
@@justanothertrucker7856 He paid for our sins with himself, at least understand the story if youre going to call it a fairy tale. Being disrespectful also makes you look uneducated. But I guess they go hand in hand
To me I think Boba was holding himself back because he was trying to forget his past while bane always called him out on it. He was forced and had no choice but to actually take bane out since other approaches like immobilizing him wasn’t working
I don't think Boba is the type to hold back.
@@SeeAndDreamify The new Boba I guess. He's changed and has been nerfed :(

Nope bane was just faster
Bane siempre ha sido más rápido que fett y más talentoso, tampoco te pases xDD
There where things I really didn't like in this series But, Cad Bane and his final showdown with Boba Fett was fantastic!
The story for the Clone Wars episodes that we never got to see was that Cad Bane wanted to prove that he was better than Jango Fett by training Boba Fett so Bane could beat him right? But Bane's ego kills him in the end.
Sure, Cad Bane hasn't really shown much ego before, but this is the story that Filoni and Lucas planned for Cad Bane, and I think it makes sense and is interesting actually!
So when Bane hears that Fett is trying to do better, to Be a Better person, of course he's gonna push all of Fett's buttons to get one out of two results; 1. He kills Boba Fett and and can finally rest knowing there's no one better than him, or 2. Fett kills him and he gets the last laugh because he destroys Boba's hopes of redemption and proves that Fett is and will always be a murdering scumbag, nothing more.
It reminds me of the final Showdown between Kenobi and Maul in Rebels. Lots of people, myself included, didn't like it from the beginning. It was really short, but also compact. Now I can see all of the great details and the dialouge is also Great, in both Rebels and BoBF!
I also like how Boba used the skills he learned from the Tuskens to defeat him.

I really liked the fight between them this episode. I think they could've elaborated more on their background with each other. But just knowing that Bane was taught the base of his skills by Jango, then went on to raise and teach Boba during his teen years, makes this scene all the better. It's Boba honoring his dad by being his own man, and defying the slight fear he had of Cad Bane to show that he's the better of them all.
They should've introduced Bane earlier in the show and make it between them. We should've seen flashbacks of Boba's past and how he grew up, meeting Bane, etc.
@@davadh nah just go watch Star Wars the clone wars again.
The history between Bane and Boba is already fleshed out somewhat in Clone Wars. Even as a kid, Boba was making a name for himself as a capable bounty hunter, even working with Bane a few times. Plus Bane was trained by Jango, so he knew his father.

I personally was very pleased with how Bane went out. I thought it was a great way for him to get one last word, prove one last point, be right one last time. "I knew you were a killer" was really cool and is a great way to end Cad Bane's story. I also think that as the fastest gunslinger in the galaxy it was nice that he beat Boba on the draw. I also loved that he was pushing him and provoking him the whole episode, continuing to bring up the Tusken massacre to try and get a reaction out of him. Cad Bane is just as badass in Book of Boba as I was hoping he was going to be.

But I think the directors wanted a sense of closure between Boba and Cad before they do anything else (that's if Cad is actually is dead).
@@thespartan3736 Yeah it seems that's the way they've been going. Boba and Fennec's near death experiences, Jango's death, Aurra Sing's death where someone just pushed her off a cliff when she wasn't expecting it, and now Bane's death. All pointless/anticlimactic/avoidable.
0:02 the music goes perfectly with this
"My final lesson...I knew you were a killer." If Cad really wanted to win then why lecture Boba? He seemed to have another motive besides executing a hit on a man.
Well, they *DO* have a lot of history together, both learned how to be a bounty hunter from Jango Fett, Cad Bane even helped young Boba for a while.
I think he wanted to die. The world was changing and he didn’t want to
It's strange, but when Cad finds out about how the Pikes destroyed the Tusken tribe and framed the bikers, he looked like he really did not like it and he did not immediately laugh at it, like the rest
Cad Bane talks a lot of trash to everyone he fights
@@Garl_Vinland the world? people fly in spaceships in star wars bud
“Consider this my final lesson, look out for yourself”, continues to stick around a losing battle instead of fleeing like he always does
I guess Cad Bane went for a rematch against Boba Fett after decades.
The thing about it is, Jango wasnt always a stone cold killer, he was once a revolutionary and super commando who wanted to fight for the mandalorian people but became politically disillusioned. Cad Bane only knows that Jango, not the Jango who fought in the Mandalorian civil wars.
The fight might be fair and all given their ages, but what's not fair is having Cad Bane just a few minutes before killing him off >:'|

"Living with the Tuskens has made you soft."
"No... it's made me strong."

"I guess it did. Getting dragged through the Sand and having the Sh*t beaten out of you can certainly make you a little tougher."
Personally I liked how Their final standoff went down. Boba had the opportunity to take him down with the Mando at the beginning of the episode but it wouldn’t have meant anything. They could have written it so that he drew quicker but then he would only be playing Bane’s game. Instead he chooses to rely on his Tusken brethren and therefore has outgrown Bane by learning to rely on family.

Because you don't need to understand it. All a casual viewer needs to know is that Cad is a legendary bounty hunter (shown by easily capping Vanth) that is now an old man and has history with Boba. But as TCW viewers we know the significance of this fight

@@HouseMDLover69 the Answer to that is yes you definitely should. You need to watch Star Wars the clone wars, The bad Batch and also Star Wars Rebels if you can. Rebels first season starts off a bit rough but it gets better when you get to series 2 onwards. If you watch these shows it really helps to fill in the gaps of the events that happen in between Attack of the clones and Revenge of the Sith and then also filling in the gaps between Revenge of the Sith to A New Hope. Watching these shows also I introduces awesome characters into Star Wars lore, such as Ashoka Tano, Captain Rex, hando Annkah, Fives, Cad Bane, Asajj Ventress, Savage Opress,General Kalani, Echo, Wrecker, Crosshair, Tech, Sabine, Zeb, Hera, Kanan etc. you also get much closer to the clones in the clone wars, seeing them grow as people with their own unique personalities, and even friends. Making the impact of Order 66 even more Devastating xx
The duel was actually the best part of Book of Boba..it made sense Cad was quicker than Boba.
I even liked the idea of Boba using the Sand people's techniques to "kill" him..seeing as how Bane was the one who slaughtered them.
I just wish Cad Bane's issues with Boba had fueled the show more than Flashback's and all of the posturing in the criminal underworld. Boba spent more time running his mouth than doing anything.
The whole episode including this scene was just poorly directed, I mean just at how many cutaways they had just to show boba stabbing cad, almost gave me a seizure. Worse than all those cuts to show liam neeson jumping a fence in taken 3
Bane didn't kill the sand people, the Pike Syndicate did, independent of Bane. he even asks the Syndicate about what happened to them.

But... Cad had nothing to do with the massacre? Pykes killed them and framed it all on the Nikto biker gang.
@@xSabinx1 Im trying to figure out where tf the spear came from. Also if it was attached to his back then there's no way Boba would be quick enough to use it.
I thought I’d be sad about his death. But it brings a sense of… resolution. We got him in bad batch since he survived his duel with boba, and had him all through clone wars. It all comes down to his presentation. Bane is now a disgruntled and weary bounty hunter in his old age. It felt like a resolution that he finally met his end at boba’s hands as this rivalry had been brewing for decades. So long cad bane. You were always the coolest bounty Hunter

I wish we got a story of two old bounty hunters who stopped being hunters for a specific reason. Last time we saw Bane it was when he tried to to traffick Omega. The one thing evident from that fight is that he is slower, that his only good attribute anymore is that he's a gunslinger. Once he loses his ability to bounty he has to reinvent himself but for the wrong reason. Bane is not a guy that gives up he like to kill, get rich, and be a scum. In this version we find out during the Empire many bounty hunters were suppressed to the hand of the Empire just like the Mandolarians. They were a threat since they had no allegiance, many were freelance and that could be a threat to the Empire since the rebels could pay for trained hunters. The ones that allied with the Empire were allowed to reign free, but those who didn't were curb stomped. Except the ones that were backed by the syndicates and did they're dirty work in the shadows. Bane tried to be backed by the Empire but was seen as two old and worthless compared to Dengar or his apprentice Fett who he had scars from. Once he is denied his hubris causes him to create his own syndicate of fallen bounty hunters, bounty hunters that had to adapt. After Fett falls to the sarlacc Bane is exubrent that Boba is dead. But more importantly Jabba, but he can't take the thrown the Fett's have too much power too much power to protect Bib. Though as there has been new order and the new republic has been harsh on the fetts, Boba is able to take the throne so easily. This is Banes calling card to go for the riches of the palace. The spice that is transported on the world, but also a shot at killing Boba. He sends his hunters, but to no avail . He eventually realises he must take him on himself, with his soldiers and we get a showdown etc. Maybe, this story couldn't be done and might have problems but it would have been interesting.
That actually sounds dope I though you were summarizing a book for a second

My problem with this scene and the Book of Boba Fett in general is that Boba feels more like an angsty teen than a hardened killer turned good.
The moment he closes his eyes, it’s almost as if he felt the force for just a moment and knew exactly when to attack and take control of the situation
Lmao he was thinking about how he's probably gonna die doing that
Yeah no, he’s not force sensitive
I thought he was gonna get finished off by bane
He was accepting his fate then he remembered his stick
@@primemachine146 "The force is in everyone, everything."
The music was so much better in this video! Not that it was bad in any way in the show because that was honestly one of the best things about it.
Do you expect someone who is 70+ to move like they were in their 30s? Cad without his blaster was never a real threat in hand-to-hand combat and now that he's an old man of course he would get his ass whooped. Expecations? It happened the way Dave Filoni wanted it to happen.
To move like he is in his 30s? Nahhh
I just expected him not to get beat by a stick if he is one of the greatest assasins in space. He is old but pointing a gun at someones head and showing his quick thinking in the previous episode I’d like it if this battle finished differently
? I know his guns added to his threat but he has literally beat the piss out of not just Jedi but Obi Wan too
Dudes lethal no matter whats in his hand he’s like the John Wick Angel Eyes baby Star Wars has
Man it doesn't even make sense that they would have a assassin thats so old. But the show really went to new horizons to make cad a worse bounty Hunter.
@@tylerplayzz8697 Well clearly it affected him lmao
@@TSE_WOODY He's over 70... Even the best fighters get old. Do you think John Wick at 70 will be the same "lethal" as he is now? What makes it worse is Cad's race. Duros only live for about 70 years. Cad is literally an OLD man.
I like how Bane tossed aside Boba's helmet.
Sure it was to kill him but it also had a deeper meaning of a mandalorian being defeated by having his helmet removed by his enemy.
Also from the way Bane and Boba interact its like Bane was an abusive mentor to Boba during his youth and now they are settling the score
Cad mentored boba as a boy because jango mentored cad. I dont think it was that he was particularly abusive, just more of a "i taught you everything you know, now heres one last lesson boy" type of thing
This comment is why this show was horrible. They missed a golden opportunity to make Cad Bane the main antagonist. Having the story revolve around the relationship between the two, showing flashbacks of Boba's early days with Bane. That scene was cool and all but it really had no weight behind it, just like the whole season.
Boba Fett's helmet being removed by his enemy wouldn't be so bad.
Now Din Djarin would probably freak out if he lost his helmet in combat since he takes the Mandalorian creed more seriously than any other Mandalorian. He's already in trouble admitting that he's taken off his helmet.
Boba's not entirely Mandalorian, though? The armor's the only Mandalorian thing about him, based on what i read at least.
The reason why he removed the helmet was to kill him directly as Beskar is known to repel lightsabers and blaster shots. The helmet is made of it
I actually love that he beats him with the Gaffi stick lol. Shows how much he is really attuned with it
a stick?
If they had filmed that part and put it in as a flash back that would have made it so emotional
This scene would have been more impactful if we got a flashback of the deleted Boba vs Bane duel from the Clone Wars, and if Bane had appeared earlier in the series.
Plot armor saving Boba😭
Nah just beskar
2:09-2:12 Cad had 3 seconds to shoot Boba in the head😐
@@EverythingFitz which is covered in Beskar
@@thomaspointon6676 buddy, go to the time stamp, he had no helmet on
@@EverythingFitz ah yeah sorry my mistake. Tbf tho wouldn't be much of a main villain if he didn't try gloat before shooting him which is what gave him the time
Love how all these episodes just look like what pilot episodes are EACH episode haha. Where it hints off and gives conclusion each end, literally almost like fan trailers to batman vs Predator or Wolverine vs predator or other cool ones.
"Im still faster than you."
Well, yeah, you have a blaster pistol. He's using a fucking rifle.
I never really liked Bane, but this show let him go out as the fastest draw. There was no disrespect to the character with this end. Boba won because he was more adaptive & had better equipment.
Boba just knows how to . . . *pick* his fights. *Like a bantha.*
Now Cad bane is dead he'll ride him like a bantha
Boba didn't win because he has better equipment, he won because Cad Bane got too cocky. This is supposed to be a part that shows that the downfall of Cad Bane is his own overconfident.
@@smallone2351 cockiness did play a part, but you cannot deny that:
1) Boba would be dead without his armor, or that
2) Bane has never been strong at close quarters, hand-to-hand combat, & Boba picked up an unconventional weapon Bane wasn't familiar with fighting.
Once Bane was close enough to touch Boba's armor, even if to remove the helmet to get a killing shot, Boba only needed to deflect that one shot to turn thongs around, & he did so with his armored forearm.
@@IamMeHere2See I know Boba is better at close quarter comabt, but Cade Bane didn't have to get close to Boba at all, he could just shoot Boba repeatedly from a distance. If that happened, Boba's gear and armor would not be any useful, but Cad decided to get close just because he's cocky.
I thought their duel was pretty awsome, you really feel their history from the Clone Wars and Boba defeating him with something he was given because of his compassion really shows how Bane was wrong
Na , Boba is still a killer , exposing the hypocrisy of his “ good guy “ persona . Cade had the last laugh against a man that’s known for his “ Honor “
@@Mediocre0 that is also true! Wow never really thought of that, the weapon was given to him because of compassion, but in the end he still murdered Bane and that proves what he said about Boba
@@Mediocre0 killed the man while laying on the floor, couldn’t be less honourable
Could the beeping on bane’s chest plate symbolize a beating heart? As if to show that he’s still alive..
I honestly thought there was going to be some fist fighting, close quarters gun shots, so more grap and holding, and some booster jumping. Has everyone forgotten about Cad Bane's rocket boots?
This fight is something I wanted actually. Just like Maul vs Kenobi, we know what they’re both capable of and what will happen.
Cad is a better gunfighter and Boba has become even better at close quarters, perfect honestly. And don’t worry, Cad will be back if a Season 2 or Mando Season 3 pops up. Now Cad will have quarrel with Din for helping Boba
Facts man
why not let him stay dead?
He went out with stile...let a man rest.
@@mangosteak how can a man go out in style after being stabbed by a stick while laid on his back with his legs in the air like a bitch this scene was pathetic
Do not forget about the fact that he has beef with Fennec Shand the galaxy’s cutest assassin.☝🏿😌
@@laVeukz But sticks do hurt & he got whooped with one_ That’s gotta hurt! I think most people would’ve gotten hurt behind that too!!
Old Boba got outdrawn because he used a rifle/submachine against a handblaster; if he used his sidearm, it’s fair to argue they’d hit one another again
If I were writing, I’d have him use his rocket pack to joust into Cad Bane, who’s clearly at this stage not much for hand-to-hand
Bane would still win, but yes, him using a subcombat was unfair
@@mrtwig2102 it’s interesting rematch: Bane got brained last time so his performance might be affected, but Boba is nearly 2x the target size he was before and now has the gap Cad targeted… if it were me, I’d just drop belly-down and blindfire the rpg on my back 😉
@@mrtwig2102 did you say bane would beat boba hand to hand or did I misunderstand you?
@@hazardous8301 misunderstanding
The cybernetic patch seen on Bane's head implies that the duel still took place
Virgin Boba: "I have Armor"
Chad Bane: *So anyways I started blasting*
I thought Cad Bane was going to leave after knocking him down tbh.
Both are perfect. I didn't love the show overall but the way they handled Cad Bane was masterful, I really liked this confrontation. Boba accepts he's a leader and embraces his tusken side and takes out the embodiment of the worst part of himself.
Masterful is a stretch, he was shoved in there last minute for fan service and was given very little characterization.
@DePutDaMazterCheefInDaSoda bro they had to hes so old olus he has alot of eps in cw
@@anthonymilc9721 he was a lot more than fanservice, if he was simple fanservice get wouldn't have died. He was there to inform Bobas arc and it worked well.
You going to call Kingpin's cameo in Hawkeye masterful too? They shoehorned him in the last two episodes instead of building him up lmao. This finale was trash.
This paired with the scorponach annihilator droids had me literally screaming with joy, which wasn't exactly the greatest idea because I had to go to work afterwards and I had a hoarse voice the entire time. Absolutely worth it though
Boba putting his Detroit Urban Survival Training to good use.
I feel like when boba got out the stick, he was letting out his old self, after the sarlacc he didn’t want to be so blood thirsty, but in the life or death situation he was put in by bane, he let go
Ele ficou preso no poço de sarlac como se um uma pessoa passar um bom tempo na prisão e depois de sair ele não é mais o mesmo
I would argue using a gaffi stick is much more blood thirsty than blasting someone.
People complaints about cad bane:
-how he looks
-how he talks (yes ive seen people complain about his voice)
-how he walks (this one is a joke but knowing some fans i wouldnt be suprised if they complain about this too)
-how his skin looks
-Not much screen time
-And last but 100% not least how he died.
And i can answer all these with this:
-this is live action not some 3d animation series, ofc he will look a bit different and i think they nailed it with his look
-His voice is also good, in fact i thought he was being voiced by the same dude from clone wars.
-his skin also looks fine lol, dudes old, skin changes a bit while becoming older
-My man has literally more screen time than boba fett himself. Sure maybe not in this series but u guys arent counting clone wars, and star wars games that show him more than boba lmao.
-And finally his death is acceptable for me. My dude lived from the republic era to the empresa downfall at some point he would have gotte killed off and what a better way than getting killed in a 1v1 of skill, strenght, and intelligence against someone he lectured.
TL;DR you're huffing copium
those puffy fingers luL
So basically you answer all the super common and valid complaints about him by saying “wELl i LikEd iT”.
Gotcha.
Only thing I wanted was rocket boots.
I love how this episode came out yesterday and everyone is using it in videos and disney doesnt go around copyright striking everyone. That's a really solid move on their part cuz it expands their reach and builds alot of cool fan-made content around it, but most companies don't understand that and just start freaking out about copyrights.
Incredible episode. I've enjoyed all of them. Slow build up but absolutely cracking series
i like how they are taking their time and finishing all these loose ends. we finally get to know how their story ended.
Hope Bane didn't die 'cause he is an interesting character.
Well, i guess the westar twin guns of Jango are lighter and more fitted for this kind of standoff. Boba's blaster is more powerfull but not the best option for a duel, love this episode
This scene out of the context of the show is incredible
honestly I like this ending for Cad, ofc it would be awesome to see him more but this guy is an old man, we have seen him a lot throughout star wars and cant just keep him around forever. It wasn't a bad or lame death but it could have been a little more climactic
Lamest death ever
Let’s just all dial our hopes for Kenobi down a notch or two.
Shhh don't tell them, I wanna see their reactions when it comes, hope Disney don't think the reactions to this show are bad lol, they gonna see what bad is when they fuck Kenobi up 😂
@@throne-gaming393 I'm going to go in expecting Kenobi and a bucket of sand, if they disappoint those expectations there'll be hell to pay
Cad Bane lasted an episode in book of boba fett before being out played so easy. Honestly expected more
"you're an old man" said the old man.
If Bane can survive a headshot he can definitely survive a stab wound
in fairness cad bane was 71, incredibly old for his species and still put up a fight
the scene isnt great it feels like they stop to let eachother do a cool pose and get a shot or flame throw in.
disappointing but semi realistic
I felt like there wasn’t enough fighting from Cad bane and I’d rather he had shown up in episode 1 and throughout the series as his return felt very rushed and disappointing a little. I’m glad it was definitely boba to kill him as it’s a fitting end for the bounty hunter but I wish we had got some more lines from Cad before his death and I hope he isn’t actually dead 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx
That's not the point. The point is that he doesn't do anything else. A whole episode and he does nothing other than have one fight with Boba
@@LordVader1094 i wasn't talking about that lol, i was purely talking about the fight scene which people were saying was underwhelming
I feel humiliating Boba like that would’ve been enough for Cad. For some reason I felt like he would care less about completing his job if it meant killing Boba Fett, also, it’s odd that he decided to try and kill Boba after the pykes were run out of town. I feel like if Cad was the last guy left it would be more in character for him to fly away, especially since he actually knows Boba Fett. Or my judgment is clouded by my want for more Cad Bane
We all want more screen time for him.
Yeye.
I almost think Bane let Boba win. Bames like 70... To a duros thats like 90 for a human. He was probably gonna die soon anyeays.
@@jauneork278 he was actually about 120 in human years if I recall
@@Powerfulsubzero Duros generally don't live that long.
So Cryptosporidium 137 became a bounty hunter.
Now he is waiting Pox to spawn Cryptosporidium 138.
Imagine introducing the perfect villain and killing him off instantly. Good one Disney
his 73 years old at this point in time so it makes sense.
Uh...He ain't exactly a new character...
They need to give us the cut episodes fully animated in the Clone Wars animation style. Would be so cool to see
I absolutely love where they took Boba's character. How can you not love and respect a guy like that. Completely honorable and an absolute bad ass who finished a decades long feud with a stick.
badass who listens to punk kids on scooters . It's a disgrace honestly.
@@hybaaaa its called character development. I literally don't care if you like the show or not.
Yeah that honourable guy who shot bib fortuna without a second thought, or when he gave thieves, who robbed his vassals, a job and only paid the merchant half of his losses, because his prices were too high. The show tries its best to portray him as such, but it just makes him come off as weird and inconsistent
@@codywalper22 nah its called Disney
@@hybaaaa Then literally delete Disney + and don't watch anymore its that easy, kid.
@WATER_B gotta give you credit for adding the clone wars boba fett theme at 1:38 AWESOME touch dude!
i think it would have been cool to watch him close cad's eyes, as if he still held a sense of respect for him in a way. after all, cad bane mentored boba and bane is just doing a job. i suppose the tusken comments were personal but it still would have been a good way to should boba's sense of respect for others. i guess boba really is a cold blooded killer that worked for the empire
You have got to be kidding me... after all Cad has been through, every Jedi he has killed and defeated, and Boba takes him out with some simple martial arts? I know he’s old, but he’s still Cad Bane. I mean dang c’mon, Cad needs a more meaningful death than that, he basically raised Boba for crying out loud, it’s outrageous, it’s unfair.!
Yeah it was bit ridiculous... And him pausing before killing boba fett was such a trope
Tbh i don't think he would of gone out any other way.
@@yodildee9803 oh yes he could have, he needed and honorable more memorable death.
@@shadow_man_02 give me an example? Because I don't think there's one better than that...
Cad bane killed many clones… and was eventually killed by one
I prefer the real conclusion, Bobas was never able to out speed cad bane (the duel in the clone wars era did happened) so he basically outsmart him pretty much like how Obi Wan defeated Darth Maul in Rebels, and he did it with a symbol of his new beliefs
“I knew you were a killer”
“Yeah, ya not wrong wrong there mate”
