The Mandalorian Season 2 Delivers Huge Surprise Star Wars Cameo

There's a lot of people it could have been--old clone trooper, yet another clone of Jango, and so on--but c'mon let's be honest; it was Boba Fett.

Tatooine, mention of a Sarlacc, the armor...misleading the audience is generally done in subtler ways so if this was not Boba Fett that would be a borderline lie, far more than simple misleading lol.

I'm curious if they will incorporate the Legends lore where Boba Fett sort of mind-melded with the Sarlacc and tricked it. They implied that the Krait Dragon ate the Sarlacc but did not explcitly state that; entirely possible that Boba Fett escaped and killed the Sarlacc and the Krait Dragon was seen eating the remains.

Just me speculating.

I appreciated the cameo much more than the episode. While I'm a big Olyphant fan, this episode was a weak way to start a new season after a fairly strong and much-hyped first season. It did very little to advance the story, featured some cringeworthy dialogue with the woman and her maintenance droids (I forget her name), and otherwise, was a very basic story about a group of people going to kill a big worm. I was hoping for more.

I know this, they had better not spend this whole next season STILL trying to deliver baby Yoda to where ever, for whatever! It will get old very fast if they do! They need to start getting to the point by the 3rd show.

Is it really a cameo if they play a bit part in the show ?

Hopefully the first scene of the first episode is the Mandalorian crushing the life out of baby Yoda in his fist for about 3 minutes.

You think the vagueness isn’t a spoiler but anyone with half a braincell would figure out who it is spoiling the surprise. What’s the point of these articles about a single plot point other than what five year olds do after seeing a show. Also this is a gaming site. I’m so done with this site.

so in star wars universe falling means not dead

maul was cut and fell for miles, all fine. fett fell into a planetbeast jabba was trying to drop luke into anyway.

the series was always childish and stuff but puh please. next you say jango grew a new head because of reasons

not...that big a surprise, that character's casting was heavily publicized when they started filming, spoiling it. (and given its the same actor as the prequels, there isn't much mystery about their identity, even if the credits didn't name them explicitly)

Also...that character *probably* appeared in episode 5 of season 1, which took place on the same planet.

That's not how Fett died. He wasn't knocked off. He slammed into the side of the barge with a jet pack malfunction and rolled into the pit.

The R5 is also the same one form A New Hope that has its regulator explode when Owen bought it from the Jawas. You can still see the leak and burn mark on the back of its “head”.

Boba Fett isn't a Mandalorian, though. Either was Jango. It was a big kerfuffle in the Mandalorian community, because Jango wasn't a legitimate Mando, he just took on the armor and refused to follow their "religion" and rules.

NOT CANON

That was probably the best 50 minutes of Star Wars I have ever seen.

Some story arcs in SW Rebels and The Clone Wars might rival it in scope and story and "epicness", but as far as basic enjoyment I thought that was great.

Cad Bane > Boba Fett

According to Temuera Morrison's IMDB profile, he is indeed credited as "Boba Fett" in this Mandalorian episode.

When watching RotJ as a kid, I thought Boba Fett went out like a chump when he got knocked into the sarlacc pit, especially after being so awesome in ESB. So I've always liked the idea that he escaped somehow, given the tools at his disposal.

The only question was whether Tem Morrison (who was cast months ago) was going to be playing Boba Fett or Rex (given the latter is a clone of the former).

Yep, was a kick A$$ episode. Every episode feels to short. More ! More ! More !

Actually this was not very "surprising" at all. The first worn out rule of expanded universe fanfiction going back decades is resurrect Boba Fett. We all knew it was going to happen in this series the moment they announced it was set after ROTJ.
