Streaming service Disney+ releases the fourth episode of Jon Favreau’s The Book Of Boba Fett, a live-action TV series set in the Star Wars universe, starring Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen. Matt Berry (Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, What We Do In The Shadows) and Jennifer Beals (Flashdance, Swamp Thing) guest star.
Recovering from Krrsantan’s recent attack, Fett returns to the bacta tank, remembering the series of events that led to him finding the dying Fennec Shand, taking her to a mod parlor to save her life, and then enlisting her help in recovering his ship from Jabba’s palace, taking revenge on the speedbikers who killed his Tusken tribe, and then searching for his armor, not realizing that it has been purchased and put to use by someone else. He shares with Fennec his plan to depose Bib Fortuna, who has taken over Jabba’s palace – and asks her to stay on as his muscle.
Emerging from his final bacta soak, Fett feels it is important to make an appearance in Mos Espa. He arrives at Garsa’s cantina just in time to see Krrsantan dismember a Trandoshan or three; he hires Krrsantan on the spot to provide more muscle. A meeting with the head of the three families that rule over Mos Espa and much of the planet seems to prove productive, but Fennec doubts they will commit any kind of manpower to Fett’s cause. Realizing they need more muscle, Fennec thinks she knows where to find more – for the right price.
