10 Reasons The Book Of Boba Fett Is Not As Bad As Many Star Wars Fans Thought

10. Cad Bane

One of the shining lights in the final episodes of The Book of Boba Fett was the introduction of Cad Bane, one of the most feared and ruthless bounty hunters in the galaxy. He was introduced to Star Wars in The Clone Wars (the 2008 animated series), and also featured in its sequel The Bad Batch (2021), where his past history with Boba Fett is explored.

The character brought a hint of spaghetti western - one of the main genre influences on George Lucas’ epic original story - to The Book of Boba Fett, which is epitomised by his quickdraw gunslinger style of settling differences. In TBOBF, Cad has been employed by the Pyke Syndicate to help destroy Boba's coalition. After a tense stand-off in the penultimate episode, we see him ruthlessly dispatch Marshall Cobb Vanth.

This leads to a final showdown and battle of wits with his former apprentice Boba, as they embark on a thrilling back and forth fight at the climax of the series, in which only one of them will survive.
