Perhaps Morrison could've hit the treadmill in preparation for the role, like Mark Hamill did for "The Last Jedi." It's the same thing with Laurence Fishburne's character in "Predators" – he's the only Special Forces soldier who could still turn into a beer barrel by eating nothing but moss and fungi scraped of rocks.īetween the three of them, they manage to drive back the Imperial ground forces and they retreat in their assault craft. It wasn't really visible until now, concealed by his roomy robes. Somehow – surviving in the desert, with all that walking and a minimal food supply for many years – he's packed on more than a few pounds. Things look desperate until Fett shows up having now donned his armor…and suddenly he's become Boba Fatt. He joins Shand who has become surrounded and the two fight a desperate battle.

Shand is showing what a seriously kick-ass character she is as she more or less singlehandedly staves off wave after wave of Imperial troops. The whole battle is pretty spectacular and director Robert Rodriguez gets a chance to show what he has become so very good at, thrilling, set piece action sequences.įett finds himself near the Razor Crest so he seizes the opportunity to grab his beskar armor, good job too as we'll see very shortly. There's even a cameo role for the E-Web heavy repeating blaster, also last seen in the Season 1 finale, thankfully though this one didn't require a contrived introduction before it opened fire. And as a result of this, we even see a brand new style of Stormtrooper - a Mortar Stormtrooper - that looks like the Incinerator Stormtrooper, first seen in "The Force Unleashed" videogame and then in the first season finale, "Chapter 8: Redemption" but with yellow markings instead of red. The Imperial troops deploy a mortar and finally, it's so good to see them actually using infantry support-style weapons. Shand tries to pick them off using her sniper rifle, while Fett using his gaffi stick, gives an incredible display of Tusken fighting skills, often completely smashing Stromtrooper helmets. The attack comes thick and fast, Imperial troops swarm all over the hillside. Djarin races up the hill to the temple ruins and once again attempts to pull Grogu out from the Force energy shield, but he's once again thrown back and unable to reach the child.

However, the jury is still out on whether this change in his backstory is better we rather liked the mercenary, all-about-the-money past he previously had.įinally, we get to see Imperial troops deploying infantry support weapons on the battlefield. And we shall see more evidence of this later on. No longer is the Fett family to be considered disrespectful, two-bit criminals in "Star Wars" canon, they now acquired the armor through traditional channels. "In exchange, I guarantee the safety of the Child as well as your own."Īnd so, in effect, Fett's record has been cleaned up and his reputation remade. "The armor was given to my father, Jango, by your forebears," Fett says. However, "The Mandalorian" has reshaped "Star Wars" lore slightly, and now being Mandalorian is as much of a creed as it is a race. In the "Clone Wars" episode "The Mandalore Plot" (S02, E12) Mandalorian Prime Minister Almec tells Obi-Wan Kenobi, "How he acquired that armor is beyond me." Consequently, the government of Mandalore disavowed any connection to him, claiming he was simply "a common bounty hunter" who acquired the armor through unofficial and illegal channels. Fett wore Mandalorian armor, even though he wasn't from that planet. Up until now, "Star Wars" canon has been such that Boba Fett was not Mandalorian. And since Fett was also on Tatooine, we can only assume that he didn't actually know Vanth had it, but because he was tracking Djarin, he learned afterwards that this was where it had been.Īnd then comes something interesting. "I want my armor that you got from Cobb Vanth on Tatooine," Fett says. Former fugitive Fennec Shand has had quite the cybernetic repair, but we're just glad she's back.
