10 Times Star Wars Refused To Give Fans What They Wanted

3. Cad Bane And Boba Fett's Epic First Duel - The Book Of Boba Fett

Finally getting to witness a live-action version of all-round badass bounty hunter Cad Bane, on top of another long-awaited Star Wars rematch of the century during Disney+'s recent The Book of Boba Fett series were both undoubtedly epic moments in a largely disappointing TV spin-off.

However, both of these brilliant Boba developments also served as a reminder to fans that they still hadn't been delivered a moment they'd been wanting to see properly unfold on-screen for an age.

As alluded to during Bane and Fett's gripping showdown during said Disney+ Book, the pair once collided many moons ago during The Clone Wars animated series, with the latter receiving his infamous helmet dent during the rivals' shootout. Yet, this occurrence didn't actually ever make it past the pre-viz stage as the episode and arc in question wasn't completed before Clone Wars was initially cancelled on Cartoon Network in 2013.

So, with the only real evidence of this pulsating duel being found in said unfinished animated clip, many were understandably hoping to see the pair's history finally realised and explored on the live-action stage the second Bane made himself known in The Book of Boba Fett.

That wasn't to be, though, as Fett ultimately dealt the killing blow to his one-time mentor in the series finale.
