Boba Fett’s Shaping His New Look
At the beginning of “The Book of Boba Fett,” we learn that Boba survived the Sarlacc pit. After climbing out of the Sarlacc, Boba looks exhausted.
While lying on the desert sand, a group of Jawas scavenges Boba Fett’s armor, leaving him with only his grey jumpsuit.
Later, Boba is captured by the Tusken Raiders. Unwilling to remain a prisoner, Boba tries to escape. However, his attempt is thwarted by a Tusken child who alerts the entire village, leading to Boba’s recapture.
The next day, the Tusken child takes Boba and another prisoner, a Rodian, on a mission to retrieve water in the desert.
During the mission, they encounter a massive four-armed creature. With his combat experience, Boba manages to decapitate the beast and save the child.
When the Tusken child returns to the village with the creature’s head, the entire Tusken village begins to pay respect to Boba Fett.
Boba continues to assist the Tusken Raiders, eventually helping them defeat the Pyke Syndicate. Through these actions, he is truly accepted as part of the Tusken community.
As a token of their appreciation, the Tuskens bestow upon him the iconic black robe—a symbol of his connection to their culture and his role as their ally.
This is how Boba Fett transitions from his grey jumpsuit to his new black robe look.
Boba Getting Back his Mandalorian Armor
At the beginning, we know that the Jawas stripped Boba Fett of his armor, which ended up in the possession of Cobb Vanth, as seen in Season 2, Episode 1 of “The Mandalorian” series.
Cobb Vanth, the marshal of Mos Pelgo on Tatooine, acquired the Mandalorian armor from the Jawas.
Later, Din Djarin claimed it on behalf of his people.
This chain of events led Boba Fett to track Din Djarin to the Deep Core planet Tython, where he ultimately reclaimed his iconic armor while fighting against Moff Gideon’s stormtroopers.
With his armor restored, Boba Fett’s power was fully renewed.
He assisted Din Djarin by clearing out the stormtroopers following Moff Gideon’s orders and helped save Grogu, the Child.
Boba Fett and The Throne of Power
In “The Book of Boba Fett,” Boba Fett sits on Jabba the Hutt’s throne, a position that signifies his rise to power in Tatooine’s criminal underworld.
This iconic seat, once occupied by the infamous Hutt crime lord, now serves as a visual representation of Boba’s authority and ambition.
By claiming this throne, Boba aims to reshape the galaxy’s criminal landscape, bringing a new order to the chaos.
His presence on the throne sends a clear message to allies and enemies alike: Boba Fett is no longer just a bounty hunter; he is a leader with the power to command and the vision to transform the underworld.
