The Book Of Boba Fett Review: 8 Ups & 1 Down For Chapter 1: 'Stranger In A Strange Land'

7. Finally Answering THAT Question

Prior to appearing in The Mandalorian's second year, the last time Boba Fett was seen in a chronological sense was being knocked to his apparent death in 1983's Return of the Jedi.

Despite his reputation as one of the galaxy's most notorious bounty hunters, Fett is dispatched in a borderline slapstick manner in that picture; accidentally hit with a staff by a blind Han Solo, which knocked Boba to his doom - all complete with a Wilhelm Scream.

What awaited below Boba Fett was the Sarlacc which resided in the infamous Pit of Carkoon, with his fate said to be a slow, painful death as the Sarlacc spent millennia digesting him with immobilizing, slow-working stomach acid.

By all accounts, this was a pretty definitive, inescapable fate for Boba in Return of the Jedi. Well, that is until Stranger in a Strange Land full answers just how Fett managed to escape the Sarlacc.

That answer involves a gooey, ooey sequence of Boba in the Sarlacc's belly, where he takes the oxygen from a lifeless Stormtrooper before punching a hole in the beast's stomach and torching his way out with his trusty flamethrower attachment.
