![]() ![]() ![]() The Book of Boba Fett is streaming now on Disney+. Of all the twists we got in The Book of Boba Fett, this is probably the biggest one: The idea that over time, Boba Fett could become, a very nice guy. Cad Bane says Fett has “gotten soft” in his old age. But for Fett, taking out Cad Bane represented something else: A life of murder and selfishness, which now, apparently, is a thing of the past. ![]() Generally speaking, when someone spares a life in Star Wars, it’s their moment of redemption. ![]() Oddly, when Fett murders Cad Bane, he’s becoming a better person. When Han shot Beckett, he was becoming more cold-blooded. So, the moment when Fett murders Cad Bane at the end of “In the Name of Honor,” is very similar to Han Solo murdering his smuggler mentor, Beckett (Woody Harrelson) in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Through all of this, Cad Bane becomes Boba Fett’s default bounty hunter mentor. At the time, Obi-Wan Kenobi was undercover as a criminal named Rako Hardeen, so, in a weird twist of fate, was present for the beginnings of Cad Bane’s relationship with Boba Fett.Ĭad Bane has known Boba Fett forever. In The Clone Warsepisode “Deception,” Cad Bane gets Boba Fett to start a prison riot, which allows Bane to escape. Circa 20 BBY, one of Fett’s prison inmates was Cad Bane at a time when Bane was about 42 years old and Fett was about 12. How does Cad Bane know Boba Fett?īack when Boba Fett was still basically a child, The Clone Wars revealed that he’d been imprisoned by the Republic along with other bounty hunters and general scum and villainy. But, Boba Fett calling Cad Bane “old man,” means that Fett thinks Bane is old. (Also, Duros should not be confused with Grand Admiral Thrawn’s species, the Chiss, who are also blue-skinned and red-eyed.) So, is 71 old for a Duros? For now, the answer isn’t clear. which introduced Cad Bane, one iconic Star Wars character with whom many may be unfamiliar. In Star Wars canon, these blue-skinned, red-eyed aliens were among the first to use hyperdrive to travel the galaxy. Bane is a bounty hunter from Duro and is part of the Duros race hence his iconic look. Lucasfilmīane is a member of the alien species called the Duros. Since most lore plot holes are eventually filled in the Star Wars timeline, it’s likely that a future show or movie will explore what Cad Bane was up to during the original trilogy, and why he did not join Vader’s team.Cad Bane escapes from prison during The Clone Wars. It’s possible that The Bad Batch season 2 could explore Bane’s story. At some point before The Book of Boba Fett, he is hired by the Pyke Syndicate before his untimely demise at the hands of Boba Fett. From here, not much is known about his canon dealings during the original trilogy. One of the last on-screen canon appearances of Bane after the prequels is in The Bad Batch, where he’s tasked with hunting down and capturing an unmodified clone of Jango Fett’s named Omega. However, the majority of Cad Bane’s dealings during the original trilogy were left unexplored in Legends before Disney took over Star Wars. Similarly to canon Star Wars, Legends continued Boba Fett and Cad Bane’s history with one another, with both of them becoming rival bounty hunters. During the reign of the Empire, he was among some of the Emperor’s personal freelancing bounty hunters. In Star Wars Legends lore, Bane continued his bounty hunting well after the Clone Wars ended. ![]()
