The Book of Boba Fett Episode 4 Finally Answers The Mandalorian Season 1 Question


It's Wednesday once again and that means more The Book of Boba Fett! Not surprisingly, Episode 4 featured a major flashback to an important moment in the first season of The Mandalorian and effectively answers something that Star Wars fans have been wondering about for a long time! SPOILERS AHEAD, PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

In Chapter Four: The Gathering Storm, we immediately see a flashback where Boba Fett is planning to recover his starship Slave I which has been stowed away in Jabba the Hutt's palace. Before he gets to the palace, he discovers the fatally injured Fennec Shand who has been left for dead by an aspiring bounty hunter.

Fans of The Mandalorian would remember how Shand was first introduced and promptly killed off in the Mandalorian episode Chapter Five: The Gunslinger. The episode concluded with Shand's body being approached by a mysterious figure who turned out to be Fett.

Although Shand had already confirmed that Fett was the one who saved her in the second season of The Mandalorian, this is the first time we are seeing how he had nursed her back to health. In addition to that, it is confirmed that the duo's first mission together was infiltrating Jabba's palace, the place that they now consider their home.

It's also awesome to learn that Fett was determined to find everything he owned that were somehow handed down to him by his father Jango Fett. Although he managed to recover Slave I, finding his armor is another problem and it took a little longer to get his hands on that one since it happened in The Mandalorian Season 2.

In addition to confirming how Fett saved Shand and their first mission together, The Book of Boba Fett Episode 4 also reveals that the former bounty hunter got revenge on the biker gang that annihilated the Tusken Raiders who saved him.

The Book of Boba Fett Episode 4 is now streaming on Disney+.
