Summary: Boba Fett holds court.
The episode opens with a landscape shot
of the surroundings of the late Jabba’s
Palace on Tatooine. Several interior shots
are captured including the barbican,
Jabba’s throne room and the empty band
stage. In a separate chamber, Boba Fett
is submerged inside a bacta pod.
He experiences flashbacks of watery
Kamino and Tipoca City, followed by a
grieving Boba cradling the helmet of his
fallen father Jango Fett at the Petranaki
Arena on Geonosis. In another flashback,
Fett struggles within the digestive sys-
tem of the sarlacc. Turning on an inbuilt sensor inside his helmet, he sees the remains of a
stormtrooper. Fett retrieves an oxygen unit from the stormtrooper’s armor before punching a
hole through the sarlacc’s gut. He then fires a flamethrower. Fett then climbs out of the sarlacc
onto the sands of the Great Pit of Carkoon, which is littered with the wreckage of Jabba’s sail
barge Khetanna. A weakened Fett climbs out the pit and lies on the desert ground.
Later that night, Fett is discovered by a party of Jawas, who strip the armor from his body.
They also take his jetpack. Fett awakes but one of the Jawas knocks him unconscious with a
blaster. The Jawas return to their sandcrawler.
The following day, a group of Tusken Raiders stumble upon the unconscious Boba Fett. One
of them turns him over with his gaderffii stick. Seeing the burnt and weakened Fett, they bind
his hands with a rope. One of the Tuskens gives him a drink from a gourd. The Tuskens ride
back to their clan with Fett bound behind a bantha. Fett is forced to walk through desert heat
and sand and eventually collapses from exhaustion. They drag him through the sands to their
encampment.
Fett is bound to a wooden post and guarded by Tusken sentries. Several adolescent Tuskens
beat him with gaderffii sticks, knocking him unconscious again. That night, Fett awakens at
his post. Seated nearby is a captive Rodian with red skin. The two watch a nearby fire, where a
massiff rests. Fett struggles with his ropes, which draws the attention of the massiff. The massiff
lunges at Fett and a fight breaks out. He knocks out the beast and uses its sharp teeth to cut
his bonds.

The Book of Boba Fett Episode Guide
Fett asks the Rodian if he wants him to cut his bonds. A Tusken sentry intervenes but Fett
overpowers him, knocking the gaderffii stick from his hands. The Rodian cries, alerting the rest
of the Tusken clan. Fett flees into the desert with the massiff in hot pursuit. The creature catches
up with him and he fights it with his stolen gaderffii stick. The Tuskens catch up with him and
watch. The beast returns to its Tusken masters.
A showdown between the Tuskens and Fett ensues. One of the Tuskens approaches him with
a gaderffii stick. After sizing each other, the two break into a duel. The Tusken knocks Fett to the
ground but Fett rises to his feet and fights back. The Tusken knocks him down a second time
but Fett is still determined to continue the fight. The Tusken beats him repeatedly. The other
Tuskens surround him with one kicking him to the ground. Fett slips into unconsciousness.
In the present, Fett is woken up by Fennec Shand. Fett wakes up and suspends his "healing
session." The bacta pod’s doors open and he climbs out of the machine. As a droid fetches
him a towel, Fett tells Shand that the dreams are coming back. Shand reminds him that they
are expecting guests who have come to pay their respect. Droids dress Fett in his Mandalorian
armor. Fett dons the helmet himself.
In Jabba’s former throneroom, an Aqualish delegate speaks in the Aqualish language and
presents a box of credit chips. The droid 8D8 retrieves the chips. When Fett asks what the
Aqualish said, Shand explains that he said something about friendship. Fett says that they
really need a protocol droid. 8D8 presents Dokk Strassi, the leader of the Tatooine Trandoshan
family and the protectors of Mos Espa’s city center and its business territories. Fett recalls that
he used to work for Dokk.
Dokk addresses Fett as the new daimyo. Fett says that it is a pleasure to be welcomed to Mos
Espa by Dokk, who presents 8D8 with a rug. Dokk wishes that Fett may never leave Mos Espa
before walking away. Fett confides with Shand that the Trandoshan’s compliment sounds like a
threat.
The next guest is Mok Shaiz, the Mayor of Mos Espa and its surrounding plateaus. The
guest corrects that he is the Mayor’s majordomo. Shand recalls that the Mayor was coming
to pay tribute. The majordomo apologizes for the "understandable" misunderstanding in the
Mayor’s correspondence. Fett extends his greetings and appreciation for the Mayor’s tribute. The
majordomo clarifies that this was another "understandable" misunderstanding and says that
the only tribute that he bears is the Mayor’s heartfelt welcome, which he expresses in his stead.
When Shand asks if he brings no tribute, the majordomo reiterates the Mayor’s heartfelt welcome
and claims that he has been drawn away by pressing matters.
Shand warns the majordomo that if he had showed the same insolence to the late Jabba, the
Hutt would have fed him to his menagerie. The majordomo apologizes. Fett tells the majordomo
to tell the Mayor that he is here now. The majordomo replies that he knows and raises the matter
of tribute. Shand explains to Fett that the Mayor wants Fett to pay him. Fett replies that he is
the crime lord and that the Mayor of Mos Espa is supposed to pay him. Shand wants to kill him
but Fett disagrees, saying that the majordomo works for the Mayor.
Shand tells the majordomo that Lord Fett allows him to leave unmolested. The majordomo
apologizes and says that he will convey Fett’s sentiment to the Mayor. The majordomo warns
Fett and Shand that they will receive another delegation in the future. Fett tells Shand to keep
an eye on Mok.
8D8 then has a unidentified character bring in two Gamorrean prisoners, who had served
Jabba and then transferred their allegiance to the late Bib Fortuna. They did not surrender even
after their patron was killed. 8D8 says that they were captured alive as a tribute to Fett and says
that their tortured squeals will send a message to potential challengers to his throne. Fett says
he does not torture. 8D8 counsels his master to show strength in order to win acceptance as a
daimyo. Complimenting their loyalty to their previous bosses, Fett offers to spare the lives of the
Gamorreans if they were to serve him. The Gamorreans bend the knee and submit to Fett. Shand
warns him that this is a "bad idea."
Fett and Shand later travel with their two new Gamorrean bodyguards to Mos Espa. Shand
chides Fett for not letting them carry him on a litter. Fett says that he doesn’t want to be carried
around like a "useless" noble. Shand explains that is is a sign of power and that people in Mos
Espa are used to seeing the Hutts being paraded around the streets. Shand says that things
would have gone a lot smoother if he had accepted their ways.
At a cantina, Max Rebo and a Bith musician perform. Fett and Shand enter the bar with their
4
The Book of Boba Fett Episode Guide
Gamorrean bodyguards. An astromech droid asks if they are here for drinks. Shand replies that
they are here for business with Madam Garsa Fwip. Two Twi’leks ask if they would like their
helmets cleaned while they wait for Garsa. Shand declines but Fett allows them to take both
their helmets in order to accept their ways.
Madam Garsa Fwip turns out to be a female Twi’lek with olive skin. She welcomes them to
the Sanctuary and asks if they would like any of their sundry offerings. Fett says maybe another
time and gets down to business. Garsa asks if he would like his Gamorrean guards to be given
refreshments while they are sequestered. Fett replies that it won’t take long and offers to do it
here. Fett introduces his Master Assassin Fennec Shand and explains that he has replaced Bib
Fortuna.
Garsa apologizes that she did not see his litter, prompting Fett to say that he prefers to walk
on his own two feet. Fett explains that he is here to introduce himself and reassures her that her
business will continue under his watchful eye. Garsa thanks him for traveling to The Sanctuary
and says that he is always welcome, granting Fett ownership. The Twi’lek attendants return their
helmets, with Shand remarking that Fett’s helmet looks "shinier" than hers, being full of credits.
While departing The Sanctuary, Fett tells Shand that Jabba had many vassals and that they
have a lot of ground to cover to keep his empire intact. Shand offers to cover the rounds on her
own, saying that Jabba rarely left his chambers. Fett replies that Jabba ruled by fear while he
intends to rule by respect. Shand counters that in difficult times, fear is a surer bet.
The two are then ambushed by six crimson-clad figures armed with plasma pikes and energy
shields, who surround them. Fett instinctively fires a rocket, whose blast is deflected back by
an energy shield, knocking both helmets loose—the credits in Fett’s helmet fly everywhere to be
picked up by bystanders. A fight ensues, with Fett and Shand barely holding their own before
the Gamorreans come to their aid, breaking the circle created by the ambushers and providing
the respite Fett and Shand needed to regain their balance and the upper hand.
Together they dispatch three of the attackers, leading the other three to attempt to escape.
Fett fires a rocket at one, disintegrating and partially blowing up a rooftop. The other two who
had climbed to the rooftops ahead of their disintegrated compatriot are chased by Shand, who
retrieves her helmet on the way to the wall. As she reaches the rooftop, Fett tells her to capture
them alive, before telling the Gamorreans to get him back to the bacta pod.
Shand chases the two survivors across the rooftops, all performing feats of acrobatics and
athleticism. She finally reaches them but is forced to dive off a rooftop to escape a counterattack,
allowing the two to continue their escape. As they round a corner, they come face to face with
Shand, who has gained the lead. She disarms the two, before knocking one off the rooftop to his
death and capturing the other.
Following the assassination attempt, Fett is put into the bacta pod by one of the Gamor-
reans, where he experiences another flashback into his past following the rescue of Han Solo.
Following his unsucccessful escape attempt, Fett is woken up by a young Tusken and led away
by his bound hands, with his feet chained to the captive Rodian who follows. Together with a
domesticated massif, they trek across the desert and make a slight detour after seeing smoke.
They peer over a sand dune to see a homestead, with several beings beating a man, painting
a symbol on the walls of their homestead before getting on speeder bikes and riding off.
Moving on, the trio come to a stop, where the Tusken gestures for the two captives to dig,
searching for a gourd filled with liquid; a source of water. The Rodian finds one before Fett, who
takes a drink. Fett soon finds one for himself. Before he can drink, the Tusken child takes the
gourd from Fett, pouring it out for the massiff to drink with some spilling onto the dry sands of
Tatooine.
Continuing to dig for the gourds, Fett tells the Rodian that they could have both escaped had
he kept his snout closed. Fett says that if he can get to Anchorhead, he can get them offworld.
Fett grumbles about strangling the Rodian and feeding him to the watchdog. The Rodian returns
an insult in Rodian, which Fett can understand.
While continuing their dig, the Rodian discovers a large scaly mass under the sands. Excavat-
ing the mass, it stirs to live to reveal a large three-clawed hand, grabbing the Rodian’s arm. More
arms come out of the sand before the entire beast reveals itself as a six legged reptile capable of
standing on its hind legs. Grabbing the captives, the creature starts attacking, with the massiff
counterattacking before being thrown away by the creature, which then kills the Rodian. Fett is

held up and the Tusken stabs the creature’s foot, resulting in the creature throwing Fett and
hitting the Tusken, causing him to hurtle onto the sands.
The creature turns from Fett and goes after the Tusken adolescent. However, Fett runs up
the creature’s back and wraps the chains around its neck and asphyxiates the creature. Fett’s
actions earns him the respect of the adolescent Tusken. The Tusken, Fett and the massiff return
to the Tusken camp with the creature’s head as a trophy. Their return sparks a celebration
among the Tusken clan, with the adolescent Tusken regaling his people with stories of the battle
with the reptilian creature. The leader of the camp wordlessly hands Fett a gourd out of gratitude,
which he drinks.

Summary: Boba Fett faces new challengers on Tatooine.
The episode opens with a high angle short
of the rocky desert landscape outside
Jabba’s Palace. The camera zooms in on
an armed Fennec Shand leading the cap-
tured assassin into the vacenous castle.
The two walk though the giant blast gates
into the throne room where Boba Fett
holds court. Fett demands to know who
sent him and what were his orders. The
two Gamorrean guards and 8D8 stand in
the background.
When the assassin refuses to speak,
Fett orders one of the Gamorreans to be-
head him. Before the Gamorrean can slit his throat, the prisoner curses him in Huttese. Fett
chastises the prisoner for being ungrateful that they spared his life. 8D8 explains that the pris-
oner is from the Order of the Night Wind, an assasin for hire. 8D8 says that there is no way the
prisoner will talk, adding that he fears no man. Fett and Shand express disagreement.
Shand suggests that the prisoner will fear the rancor and presses a button that activates the
trapdoor to the rancor’s den. As the gates below open, the assassin panics and tells Fett and
Shand that he was sent by the mayor of Mos Espa. He begs for his life. However, Shand reveals
that the rancor’s den is empty and decries the assassin. The only creature in the rancor’s den is
a small mouse. Shand suggests to Fett that they visit the Mayor.
Fett and Shand lead the captured assassin through the streets of Mos Espa, accompanied
by the two Gamoerreans. Their presence is noticed by several Trandoshans, who eye them. The
group walk inside the town hall where Fett tells the City Hall clerk that he is here to see the
Mayor. When the receptionist asks if he has an appointment, Fett responds that he found one of
his "stray pets" and that he is here to return it to his master. The receptionist tells him to wait
but is overruled by the Twi’lek majordomo, who apologizes for the lack of pomp.
The Majordomo claims that the Mayor is indisposed for the rest of the week but Fett forces
his way into the Mayor’s throneroom. The Ithorian mayor Mok Shaiz demands an explanation
for Fett’s unscheduled visit. The Majordomo reminds Shaiz that Fett is the new Daimyo. Fett
7The Book of Boba Fett Episode Guide
demands to know why the Mayor sent the assassin to kill him. Shaiz explains that the assassin
is a member of the Order of the Night Wind. When Fett asks the Mayor if this is an admission,
one of the Mayor’s guards shoots the assassin.
With the Majordomo translating, Shaiz says that the Order of the Night Wind are not allowed
to operate outside Hutt Space and thanks Fett for turning him in. He orders his guards to bring
him his reward. Fett replies that he is not a bounty hunter but Shaiz says he heard otherwise.
Shaiz remarks that Fett sits on the throne of his former employer, prompting Fett to respond
that Bib Fortuna was not his employer. Shaiz clarifies that he was referring to Jabba.
Fett replies that he will take his payment as belated tribute. He adds that the Mayor should
remember that he serves as long as the Daimyo of Tatooine decides. Shaiz asks Fett to consider
who really sent the Night Wind asssassins and claims that he has no motive for killing Fett.
Shaiz tells Fett that he serves at his pleasure. Fett warns him that he is not a fool and those who
have crossed him no longer breathe. As advice, Shaiz warns Fett that running a family is more
complicated than bounty hunting. Shaiz tells him to go to Garsa Fwip’s Sanctuary to get an idea
of what he means.
Fett and his entourage visit Garsa’s Sanctuary, which is full of droids and patrons. Taking off
his helmet, Fett meets with Garsa, who offers him a table. Fett explains that Mayor Mok Shaiz
sent him here on the pretext that there is something that he should know. When Garsa gives a
nervous look, Fett remarks that she is sweating like a gumpta on Mustafar. Garsa explains that
the "Twins" have laid claim to their late cousin Jabba’s bequest. Fett replies that he heard the
Twins were preoccupied with Nal Hutta to bother with Tatooine.
The cantina grows silent as they hear drums beating in the background. Fett, Shand, and
the Gamorreans walk outside to see a procession carrying two Hutts on a litter. As the litter
approaches Fett’s entourage, the Hutt brother tells Fett that they have business to discuss. Fett
replies that this is his territory, prompting the Hutt brother to reiterate that this is Jabba’s
territory and now theirs. One of the drummers presents a tablet stating the Hutts’ claim to
Tatooine.
Fett rejects their claim, stating that he is the Daimyo of Mos Espa. The Hutts laugh, with
the brother asking if this is so. An armed black Wookiee known as Black Krrsantan, who is
armed with a heavy blaster, approaches Fett and his entourage. Fett is not intimidated, stating
that these are not the death pits of Duur, and that he is not a sleeping Trandoshan guard. Fett
replies that Mos Espa is his territory and tells them to go back to Nal Hutta. The Hutt sister
speaks in Huttese. Her brother replies that Fett has upset his sister and that he is more patient
than her, who wants to kill him.
As Shand and Krrsantan load their weapons, Fett explains that Jabba gone and that his
former majordomo Bib Fortuna usurped his territory. Since Fett killed him, all that belonged to
Fortuna now belongs to him. Fett says that they will have to kill him for it. The two Hutt siblings
speak. The Hutt brother says that bloodshed is bad for business and that this matter can be
dealt with later. He wants Fett to sleep lightly.
As the drummers beat their drums, the two Hutts withdraw. Black Krrsantan growls at Fett
before walking away. Shand tells Fett that they will have to get permission to kill them since they
are Hutts. Fett suggests that the matter is settled but accepts that it is not yet over.
While Fett is resting inside his bacta tank, he experiences a flashback of his time with the
Tusken Raiders. While a bantha plows the desert, he learns how to wield a gaderffii stick from
a Tusken. The older Tusken teaches him to hold the stick properly before parrying. She knocks
the staff out of Fett’s hand before telling him to practice again. He asks the Tusken to show him.
Other Tuskens search the desert sands for gourds.
While the two are practicing, a massiff finds some prey in the desert. The prey scurries into
the desert with the Tuskens’ massiff hounds in pursuit. A Tusken kills the unidentified prey
with a rifle. The massiffs feast on the creature. An animal’s roar is heard in the backround. The
Tuskens take up position as an armored hovertrain approaches. Blaster bolts from the armored
train take out a bantha and several Tusken Raiders. The train then rides away into the desert.
Several Tuskens are killed and wounded by the gunners. Fett watches the Tuskens attending to
their wounded and dead.
Later that night, the Tuskens cremate their fallen. Fett himself carries the remains of a young
Tusken youth. His parents fling his remains over a fire. Fett is visibly troubled by the plight of
the Tusken Raiders. He drinks from a black melon and watches several speeder bikes passing
8The Book of Boba Fett Episode Guide
their encampment. Fett speaks to the tribal Elders, vowing to stop the train with a rifle and stick.
He promises to be back by morning. The Chief is skeptical Fett will succeed but lets him leave
on his quest.
Fett travels to Tosche Station, which is frequented by several Nikto miners. Among the patrons
are Camie Marstrap and Laze Loneozner. One of the Niktos snatches food from their table and
drinks one of their drinks. Laze says "This is not right", prompting the Nikto to ask if he said
something. Laze once again says "This is not right". The Niktos grab and restrain Laze and Camie.
One of the Niktos beats him with a stun baton. However, they are interrupted by Fett.
Fett walks into the cantina armed with a gaderffii stick and rifle. The Nikto miners fetch melee
weapons and attack Fett. Fett disarms one of his attackers. A second miner shoots at him but
Fett shoots him first. Laze and Camie take the opportunity to leave. Fett fights the remaining
Nikto miners, wounding and killing some with his gaderffii stick. He hurls one more through a
window before stopping to drink. Fett then exits the cantina and inspects their speeder bikes.
The following day, Fett leaves Tosche Station with several speeder bikes in tow. He returns to
the Tusken Raiders’ camp. His arrival initially unnerves the Tuskens, who grab their rifles and
go into defensive position. The Chief realizes that it is Fett and tells them to stand down. The
Chief welcomes Fett, who tells them that the bikes are a gift for them. The Tuskens attempt to
dismantle the bikes but Fett tells them that he will teach them to ride so that they can stop the
train.
Later, Fett teaches the Tusken Raiders how to operate the accelerators and brakes, likening
the bikes to a bantha. A young Tusken tries out the speeder bike but reverses. Fett then leads
the Tuskens on their first ride. The Tuskens initially struggle but learn how to operate the bikes.
He also trains them how to leap from bikes and to signal using a mirror. Fett also teaches them
how to accelerate their speeder bikes through the desert. The Tuskens get better with handling
the bikes and leaping from their vehicles. Fett also continues practicing with the gaderffii stick
and learns how to knock the weapon out of his opponents’ hands.
A Tusken sentry spots the approaching hovertrain. The Tuskens grab their weapons and
jump on the speeder bikes. Others take up position in the desert. As the Tuskens in the trenches
exchange fire with the Pyke gunners, Fett and other Tuskens riding speeder bikes pursue the
train. A Tusken signals to other Tuskens lying in the hills. Hidden Tusken snipers shoot several
of the gunners. Some of Tuskens on bikes manage to board the train but face resistance from
the gunners. Some are killed.
Fett rescues one and uses a grappling hook to latch onto the hovertrain. He also kills one
of the Pyke gunners. They jump across carriages and fight several of the emerging sentries. As
they approach the train engine, the Pyke guards take up position and fire on the advancing
Tuskens, taking down some. A Tusken rams her bike into one of the carriages, damaging one of
the connectors. However, she fails to split the train’s carriages. The driver droid accelerates the
engine, causing the hovertrain to accelerate rapidly.
Still, she manages to board the train and proceeds to fight the Pyke gunners onboard, killing
and throwing out several. She takes out the lead Pyke gunner and his companions. Realizing that
the Tuskens are winning, the driver droid fires up the engine, causing a blast to knock off one
of Fett’s Tusken allies. Fett fights with more Pyke guards near the train engine. In the process,
one of the Pykes is blasted by the engines and thrown to the ground, crushed to death by the
carriages.
Fett forces his way into the train engine where he orders the driver droid to stop the vehicle.
The spidery droid instead jumps out into the desert. Fett struggles to stop the train but finds the
brakes. He uses his gaderffii stick to disable the ship’s engines, causing it to brake in the desert.
The Tuskens shout in victory before proceeding to loot the train of weapons and merchandise.
Several Tuskens guard the surviving captive Pyke gunners and guards. Fett demands to know
who is the leader. The leading Pyke stands up and removes his mask. He asks Fett if he is going
to kill them. Fett replies that it depends on how he answers his question. When Fett asks if he is
carrying spice, the Pyke leader asks what he means by spice. Fett asks if he is carrying sansanna
spice from the slave mines of Kessel. The Pyke leader asks what does spice look like. Just then,
two Tuskens discover a crate of spice.
Fett replies this is not looking good for him. The Pyke leader says that they assumed that
Tuskens were uncivilized raiders and says that they were just trying to protect their route. Fett
replies that the Dune Sea is no longer free for the Pykes to pass since the Tuskens claim the
9The Book of Boba Fett Episode Guide
territory as ancestral ground. He says that if they want to pass, a toll has to be paid to the
Tuskens. He warns that any death dealt by traveling trains will be returned ten-fold. Fett orders
the Pyke leader to return to the Pyke Syndicate with these new terms and adds that their lives
are a gesture of theri civility. He tells the Pykes to walk single file in the direction of the high sun,
explaining that it will lead them to Anchorhead by sunset.
When the leader protests that they will be killed, Fett reassures him that he will be traveling
under the protection of the Tuskens and that no harm will come to them. When the Pyke leader
protests that they will die of thirst without the water car, Fett promises that they will each be
given a black melon, stating that they will survive on its milk as these people do. The Pykes leave
while the Tuskens plunder the water cart.
Later that night, the Tusken Chief explains that since the oceans of Tatooine have dried up,
they have stayed hidden. He says that the other tribes have survived by killing. Fett replies that
they shouldn’t have to hide since they are warriors. The Tusken Chief replies that the offworlders
have machines. Fett reassures him that they now have machines and that they know every grain
of sand in the Dune Sea.
The Tusken Chief gives Fett a gift, stating that he is a good guide. The gift turns out to be a
lizard in a basket. The lizard climbs into Fett’s nostrils. The Chief explains that the lizard will
guide him from inside his head. Fett’s vision becomes blurry and his body convulses. He finds
himself walking through the deserts of Tatooine and sees a vision of trees and oceans. There are
creatures with red eyes. Fett also experiences flashbacks of climbing out through the maw of the
sarlacc as well as his childhood on Kamino, watching his father leave on the Slave I. The vision
ends with him emerging while the ocean roars.
The following day, Fett returns to the Tusken camp, where he is greeted by the young Tusken
youth he befriended and his massiff. Fett is greeted by the Tusken Chief and his followers. The
lizard emerges from his nostrils. Fett remarks that he thought it was part of the dream. The
Tusken Chief asks him to show him a branch. Fett presents the branch from his night journey to
the Tuskens. They lead him inside a tent where Tuskens clothe him with Tusken robes, scarves,
and bandages.
The cloaked Fett emerges from the tent and faces his Tusken friends. The young Tusken walks
beside him and the two head into the desert towards a wrecked site. One of the Tusken forges
the branch into a new gaderffii stick. Fett helps him to carve the weapon, which is also heated in
an oven. Pieces of metal are added to the gaderffii stick, giving it an armored plating. The metal
is dipped into an oven.
Later that night, Fett presents his new gaderffii stick to the rest of the clan. He parries with
the other Tuskens, who gather before a camp fire. They dance around the fire.

Summary: Boba Fett must deal with two very different threats.
The episode opens with a B’omarr Or-
der Brain walker skittering across the
rocky desert outside Jabba’s Palace on
Tatooine. 8D8 briefs Boba Fett and Fen-
nec Shand about the businesses that
were under the protection of the "name
that should not be spoken off. Fett tells
him that he can name Jabba the Hutt,
which the droid obliges. Fett reassures
the droid that the Hutt is dead and that
he cannot hurt him. 8D8 explains that
he was concerned that his new master
would feel insulted.
Fett is surprised and asks why. When 8D8 replies that Fett felt threatened, Fett expresses an-
noyance. 8D8 apologizes but Shand tells him to get back to business. 8D8 explains that following
the "sail barge disaster", there was a power vacuum. Bib Fortuna assumed Jabba’s mantle. Un-
der Master Bib’s watchful eye, Mos Espa was divided among three families. The Trandoshans
took the city center while the Aqualish took the Worker’s District and the Klatoonians took over
the starport and the upper sprawl. Since Master Bib did not have Jabba’s power, he relied on
uneasy alliances to preserve his tribute and title.
8D8 also reveals that Bib has been lining the pockets of Mayor Mok Shaiz. When Fett asks
where does that leave them, 8D8 explains that everyone s waiting to see what kind of leader he is.
When Fett asks about the assassins, Shand explains that the Mayor has no power and believes
that someone else is behind that play. Fett asks if it is the Hutts. Shand asks Fett if he wants
her to ask around. Fett thinks that they should wait.
Shortly later, one of the Gamorrean guards informs Fett and Shand that one of his vassals
seeks an audience with him. Despite the lack of appointment, Fett allows the visitor to enter
the throne room in order to find out what is going on. The visitor turns out to be Lortha Peel,
a water-monger in the Worker’s District. When 8D8 asks what is his petition to Lord Fett, Peel
explains that nobody respects him. 8D8 takes offense but Fett allows Peel to speak.
Peel explains that ever since Lord Fortuna’s death, the streets of Mos Espa has turned into
chaos. Fett replies that this is new to him. Peel vouches that this is true and says that he is
insulted on Fett’s behalf at the disrespect that these "urchins" are showing him following the
11The Book of Boba Fett Episode Guide
assassination attempt. Shand says that they will look into it and waves for the Gamorreans to
escort Peel out.
Peel then talks about his petition. He explains that a street gang of youths has been stealing
his inventory, something that has not happened under the previous Daimyos. Peel says that he
is insulted on Fett’s behalf. Fett asks if his inventory is water. Peel agrees and explains that he
broker sales on behalf of the vapor farmers. Fett says that he grew up surrounded by water,
prompting Peel to say that Tatooine was once covered entirely in water.
When Fett asks about the gang, Peel explains that they are half man and half machine,
stating that they modify their bodies with droid parts to make themselves even more deadly. Peel
petitions Fett to purge the streets of Mos Espa of this "scourge" in return for doubling his tribute.
Later that night, Fett, Shand, and their Gamorrean bodyguards walk through the streets of
Mos Espa. They walk pass two Jawa merchants. They approach a group of youths chatting by
a fire. Fett demands to know where they got their water. A female named Drash replies that
they stole it. Fett replies this is a crime. A male named Skad replies that Peel charges exorbitant
prices. Fett tells them to farm the water themselves.
Drash tells Fett to return to his palace. Fett warns her to watch her tongue, reminding her
that he is the Daimyo of this district and vows to bring order. The girl dismisses him as a crime
boss. Skad asks Fett why he allowed the water-monger to charge them a month’s wage for one
week’s worth of water. The girl adds that they don’t have any wage. Fett replies that they live in
the worker’s district and that they should be working. The girl replies that there is no work and
tells Fett to look around. Fett approaches the gang and removes his helmet. He tells the youths
that they will instead work for him. He warns that they better fight as good as they talk.
Lortha Peel is upset that Fett has not punished the youths, claiming that they stole from
him and that he is letting them off. When Fett asks how much they owe him, Peel replies that
they owe 1,300 credits for water. Fett tells Shand to give him back 500 credits. Peel protests but
Fett tells him to take the money and consider the matter resolved if he wants to continue to do
business in his territory. Fett suggests that he can move to Mos Eisley if he doesn’t like it. Fett
also warns him to cut his prices.
Fett tells the youths to gather up their gear and follow him. Shand backs him up and the
youths depart on their speeder bikes. Peel walks away.
Outside of Jabba’s Palace, a Nuna is captured by a winged creature, which is in turn swal-
lowed by a Worrt. Inside Fett’s bacta tank, he experiences a flashback watching his father Jango
Fett depart on the Slave I in Tipoca City. The younger Fett gazes into the skies.
The scene then moves on to Fett riding a bantha among his Tusken Raider clan. The Tuskens
watch him with a sense of respect. Fett rides into the desert into Mos Eisley. He asks two Jawas
where the Pykes do their business in Mos Eisley. As the Jawas jabber in their language, Fett
rides on his bantha through the town, past spikes of stormtrooper helmets. A boy also leads
three DUM-series pit droids.
Fett tethers his bantha outside a building guarded by two Pykes. Fett states that he has
business with the Pyke Syndicate. The Pykes admit him into the building. Fett walks down the
stairs and meets with the Pyke leader, who has received his message. The Pyke leader explains
that protection arrangements are all part of doing business in the Outer Rim Territories. Fett
says that he will take payment and be on his way.
The Pyke replies that he has spoken with his superiors on Oba Diah, who are unwilling to pay
protection to more than one party. Fett replies that he is collecting on behalf of the Tuskens of the
Dune Sea. The Pyke leader responds that the Kintan Striders have already collected protection
money for the same territory that he lays claim to. Fett replies that they don’t need to pay
protection to that speeder bike gang since the Sandpeople far outnumber them. Fett says that
the sands have belonged to the Tuskens since the oceans of Tatooine have dried.
The Pyke leader says that they are willing to do business with either party but that they do
not want to be taken advantage of by paying money to both. The Pyke tells Fett that he hopes he
understands. Fett vows to resolve this and says that he will not hear from the Nikto sand flyers
again. The Pyke says that he looks forward to their partnership.
Fett rides across the Dune Sea on his bantha to return to his Tusken camp. As he approaches
the encampment, he notices flames in the distance. Fett walks on foot to the Tusken village only
to find that the clan has been slaughtered. He discovers burnt tanks and several fallen banthas.
While surveying the destruction, he finds the remains of Tuskens lying on the ground. Fett also
12The Book of Boba Fett Episode Guide
recognizes the marking of a gang that he had encountered earlier on Tatooine. Fett cremates the
remains of his Tusken friend before recovering his Gaderffii stick. After paying his respects to
the dead, Fett rides away on his bantha.
Fett is woken up from his sleep by the Wookiee Black Krrsantan who drags him out of the
bacta tank. Fett fights back but the Wookiee gains the upper hand and throws him around.
Black Krrsantan also strikes him with his paws. Fett grabs a melee stick and fights back but
the Wookiee throws him around. Black Krrsantan lifts him up. Fett attempts to poke his eye but
Krrsantan bites him. Before the Wookiee can finish off Fett, the female youth he recruited stabs
Black Krrsantan from behind.
The youths surround the Wookiee. One of them hurls electric nunchuks around one of his
arms but Black Krrsantan brushes it off. The youths shoot at him but their blasters bounce
off his half hide. Fett hits the Wookiee but Black Krrsantan brushes off his attack. The two
Gamorreans attempt to intervene but the Wookiee charges at them and jumps on top of them,
pushing them down the stairs. They fight in the throne room. Krrsantan throws one of the
Gamorreans to the ground and bites the other.
Before he can finish them off, the youths converge on the Wookiee. Shand then appears and
tells the youths to stay back as she activates the trapdoor, causing Black Krrsantan to slide in.
The Wookiee tries to hold on with one his paws but Shand dislodges his paw with a knife, causing
the Wookiee to fall down into the former rancor’s pit. Shand tends to the wounded Gamorrean
while Fett arrives. Fett tells Shand to get the wounded Gamorrean into his bacta tank. Fett and
his forces watch Black Krrsantan growling from his cage.
Later, an R5-series astromech droid serve Fett and Shand food for a lavish banquet. Fett
dismisses the droid to aid with the patrol. Shand tells him that he is the head of the family
and he should enjoy the trappings. Fett replies that he needs to respond because everyone is
watching and waiting for him to make the next move. Shand advises him to have some food but
Fett says he has to send a message.
Shand replies that he already did. She explains that his enemies sent Black Krrsantan to kill
him and that the Wookiee is now locked up in his dungeon. Shand advises Fett to show his hand.
Fett replies that these are Hutts and that waiting will only give them the opportunity to strike
again. 8D8 interrupts the banquet with news that "the Twins" have arrived with a gift. Shand
smirks.
Fett orders that the gates of Jabba’s former palace be open. He and Shand walk out to meet
the Twins, who are being carried on a litter by several servants dressed in white and red. The Hutt
brother says they have come to apologize. The Hutt sister admits that they sent Black Krrsantan
to kill Fett. The brother claims they are sorry and offers a gift as restitution. This gift turns out
to be a bound rancor, which is being carried on a repulsorlift sled. The creature is accompanied
by a human rancor keeper.
Fett tells them to clear off Tatooine in return for considering a truce. The Hutt sister agrees but
for a different reason. She tells him that there is something he should know. The Hutt brother
explains that they had been lied to since Jabba’s territory was promised to another criminal
syndicate. When Fett asks who it was promised by, the Hutt sister explains that it was promised
by Mayor Mok Shaiz. The Hutt brother says that the pair will be returning to Nal Hutta since the
Hutts do not want war. The sister says that war is bad for business.
A Gamorrean guard leads the bound Black Krrsantan. Fett offers to release the Wookiee if they
renounce all claims to Jabba’s legacy on Tatooine. The Hutt brother says that they are leaving
Tatooine and advises Fett to do the same. The sister describes Tatooine as a worthless rock and
proposes selling the Wookiee back to the gladiators. The Hutt brother describes the Wookiee as
their tribute to Fett. The Hutts depart with their entourage.
Fett orders the Gamorrean guard to release the Wookiee while Shand points a gun at him. Fett
speaks to the Wookiee, telling him that he has no hard feelings and states that it is just business.
Fett advises Black Krrsantan not to work for criminals in the future. Black Krrsantan growls in
Shyriiwook before running away. Shand asks Fett to consider if releasing Krrsantan was a good
idea. Fett replies that they had to choose between releasing or killing him. When Shand asks if
he believes what the Hutts are saying, Fett responds that he has no reason to believe them. He
reasons that they will benefit from their enemies fighting one another.
Shand offers to arrange a meeting with the mayor. She describes the rancor as "quite" a gift.
The creature is housed in the lair of Jabba’s former rancor Pateesa. Fett asks why the creature
13The Book of Boba Fett Episode Guide
just lies there. The rancor keeper explains that the rancor is depressed and explains that they
emotionally complex creatures. When he asks why it wears binders, the keeper explains that the
creature is a calf bred for fighting. The keeper explains that he saved this creature for himself to
train. He adds that it imprints itself on the first human that it sees. Now that Fett has arrived,
he will being its training.
Fett asks for permission to approach the rancor. The keeper says that rancors are peaceful
unless they are threatened. Fett strokes the creature, prompting the keeper to notice that he
likes it. Fett decides to spend more time with the rancor. The rancor keeper encourages him,
saying that rancors can become very loving. Fett had assumed that they were bred to fight. The
keeper explains that they are powerful fighters and that is what most people know.
He explains that the creatures form strong bonds with their owners. The Witches of Dathomir
were said to have ridden them through the forests and fens. Fett says he wants to learn how to
ride this rancor, saying that he has ridden beasts ten times its size. The rancor keeper warns
that it will take a tremendous amount of discipline. He agrees to begin the lesson today.
The rancor keeper tells Fett to stand before the creature while he removes the harness from
its mouth. Fett makes eye contact with the creature, which also makes eye contact with him. Fett
approaches the creature and strokes its chin while making eye contact with him. 8D8 interrupts
with news that Mayor Mok Shaiz’s office says that he will be unavailable for the next 20 days.
Fett tasks the rancor keeper with feeding the rancor a whole ronto carcass in the ladder. He
senses that the creature is hungry. Fett tells 8D8 to inform Shand to suit up since they will not
be waiting for an appointment. The rancor keeper reassures the rancor that Fett will be back.
Fett, Shand and the gang of youths ride to the Mayor of Mos Espa’s office to confront Mok
Shaiz. Fett and Shand walk inside the office and meet with the majordomo. The majordomo
explains that the Mayor’s schedule is quite complicated. Shand warns him to be careful with his
next words if he wants to breathe. She fingers her blaster. The majordomo offers to rearrange
his appointments and retreats into the mayor’s office. The majordomo locks the door to the
throneroom.
Fett and Shand follow only to find it empty and deserted. The two rejoin their gang of youths.
The majordomo flees in a landspeeder and Shand sends the youths after him on their speeder
bikes. They chase the majordomo through the streests of Mos Espa. They avoid a protocol droid
but knock over a repulsorlift cart being drawn by an astromech droid. As the pursuit continues,
the majordomo’s speeder whacks a pit droid and topples a stand full of fruits. He also topples
more objects including a tank of water.
Led by the female youth Drash, the youths outflank the majordomo. Two of them scrape
his landspeeder. As the pursuit continues, a male youth rides his speeder bike through two
pedestrians carrying a painting of Jabba before crashing into a picnic table. The majordomo
slams into a droid rickshaw carrying two Bith passengers, terrifying them. Drash manages to
ride her bike over a building before landing on the majordomo’s landspeeder. He crashes into a
stand full of jogan fruits. Fett and the youths converge on the Majordomo.
The Majordomo reveals that the Mayor is working with the Pykes and that he has gone. Fett
asks is he. Later, a starliner carrying several passengers include a large entourage of Pykes lands
at Mos Espa’s spaceport. One of Fett’s youths Skad is watching the Pykes and rides his bike to a
hologram station. He tells Fett and Shand that he saw a dozen at least. Fett thanks him for his
good work and tells the youth to keep an eye on them.
Shand confirms that the Pykes arrived on the starliner. Fett thanks the youth for his good
work. He tells them to keep an eye on them. Fett quips that it is just an expression, noticing the
youth’s cybernetic right eye. The youth tells him that he doesn’t have to be sorry since he paid a
lot for his cybernetic eye. Shand tells him to let him know what he sees. Shand warns Fett that
these are just the first wave and that they are going to war. Fett vows that they will be ready.

Summary: Boba partners with Fennec Shand.
The episode opens with Boba Fett im-
mersed inside his bacta tank, where he
experiences flashbacks of his past. Wan-
dering the deserts of Tatooine on bantha-
back some time after the loss of his
adopted Tusken clan at the hands of the
Kintan Striders, Fett rides to the late
Jabba Desilijic Tiure the Hutt’s palace to
investigate the last place he left his ship,
the Slave I. Peering through the scope of
a cycler rifle, he sees a few Nikto guards
and couple of Gamorreans passively pa-
trolling the perimeter.
Heading back to the bantha, he sighs and informs her that there are still too many guards,
and he heads back out into the dunes. Sitting at a campfire under the stars, he shares his dinner
with his steed until he notices the shooting of bright flares in the distance. When the two arrive
at the site, Fett finds an unconscious and dying Fennec Shand.
Fett rides with Shand hitched over the bantha’s rump to a mod parlor on the outskirts of Mos
Eisley, where he sees a group of cyborg youths hanging around outside the entrance. He carries
Shand into the building where the mod artist of the shop is at work on another youth. The Mod
Artist turns to Fett and snarks that he is too old to be in such a place, to which Fett tells him
that Shand requires modification. Rebuffed for not having an appointment, Fett then drops a
plump bag of coins onto a table and stresses that Shand is about to die.
The mod artist agrees and replaces the area damaged by a gut shot on Shand’s body with
complicated cybernetics. Fett watches the surgery procedure. Near the end of the operation, Fett
asks if he plans to close the operated area, but out of pride for his handiwork, the mod artist
leaves it open and the technology viewable.
Shand awakens painfully, after being taken back out into the desert and left to come-to near
a campfire. As her vision sharpens, she notices Fett tending to the fire and the bantha sitting
comfortably nearby. With difficulty, she props herself up onto an elbow as Fett cracks a black
melon open. He places it near her and tells her to drink, but she first asks him what happened
to her. Fett informs her that she was dying, but that he had also saved her life. She looks around
suspiciously and then down to her own torso, only to notice the writhing cybernetics in the place
that used to be her gut area.
15The Book of Boba Fett Episode Guide
Demanding to know what Fett has done to her, he tells her about the mod parlor at Mos
Eisley, which was the best he could do for her considering the circumstances. He then reminds
her to drink from the black melon, mentioning that it will aid her recovery. Raising it to her lips,
Shand recoils in disgust at the smell, but after Fett reassures her that although it takes some
getting used to and that one can also crave it after a time, she manages to drink from it.
Fett recognizes her as the Master Assassin, Fennec Shand of the Mid Rim, to which Shand
assumes that her bounty is higher with her alive. Fett confirms this, and although Shand imme-
diately offers him more than double the price on her head, he tells her that he is not after money.
She asks him who he is, and although he answers honestly, she dismisses this and reminds
him that Boba Fett is dead. Fett agrees with her that he indeed was left for dead on the sands
of Tatooine, just as she was. He tells her of how the Tuskens had rescued him and accepted
him into their tribe. He says that he tried to help them only for them to wind up dead after he
attracted the attention of a gang of Nikto speed bikers.
Shand expresses her disbelief that mere speed bikers could have defeated the Sand People,
but Fett changes the conversation and tells her that he wants her help to recover his Firespray-
class gunship. Shand sighs, buffing some sand from her clothes and asks after its location. When
Fett tells her that the ship is in Jabba’s palace, she informs him that Bib Fortuna has taken over
the place. She asks him why he does not simply ask for the ship’s return, since it is his property,
and Fett reveals that he may not like the response since he is less persuasive without his armor.
Shand has Fett assure her that if she helps him, her debt to him would be considered repaid.
Fett and Shand travel through the Dune Sea on Fett’s bantha. As night falls, Shand uses her
gunsight to scout the grounds of Jabba’s palace. She confirms that Fett’s starship is there and
asks how many guards are there. Fett is unsure and says that the guards rotate whenever the
gates open. Shand sends one of her drones to take a closer look. The drone travels into Jabba’s
palace through a vent and flies through the hallway, avoiding a Gamorrean and Nikto guard.
Continuing its search, the droid floats through the corridors. Two alien guards travel down a
stairwell while the drone flies out. Meanwhile, Fett bids his bantha farewell, telling the creature
that it served him well. He tells the female bantha that he is going to miss her as she licks him.
He tells her to go, find other banthas and make baby banthas. He tells her that she is free to
roam the Dune Sea.
Shand questions Fett’s decision to free his bantha until he has retrieved his ship. Fett replies
that he is determined to reclaim his ship or die trying. He promises Shand that she will be free
soon. When Shand asks what are his next plans, Fett replies that he will find his armor and kill
that "bloated pig" who double-crossed him and take his throne. Shand asks if Fett wants to head
a Gotra, which he is keen on doing.
Shand notes that Fett is a bounty hunter. Fett says that he is tired of working for idiots who
are going to get him killed. Fett says that Tuskens took him in and made him part of their tribe.
He say that he decided to leave hunting behind. Shand replies that people like her don’t get a
choice. Just then, the drone returns and provides them with a holographic map of the Slave I’s
location as well as the layout of Jabba’s Palace. Studying the display, Fett observes that there
are too many guards, who are represented by the red figures. Shand suggests timing their patrol
and going in quiet.
The two breach Jabba’s palace through the sewers under the cover of night. In the kitchen,
a chef droid and sous-chef droid are at work preparing food including a hot bubbling cauldron
with a creature inside. As Fett and Shand come up through the drain, the chef notices the noise
and asks what was that. The sous-chef droid assumes that the noise was caused by rats. The
chef droid sends the sous-chef droid to find it while he contacts the rat catcher.
The sous-chef droid approaches the drain but Fett knocks him down using the gutter cover.
The chef droid brandishes six knives with his six arms. However, Shand slices his head off from
behind with a knife. Fett says that nobody sounded the alarm. Shand replies they should get to
the hangar. They hear footsteps approaching, which turns out to be an LEP-series rat catcher.
Fett and Shand attempt to sneak away but the droid notices them and flees.
Fett pursues the droid through the kitchen while Shand watches the door. As the droid scur-
ries, he overturns several pots. He flees under a shaft beneath the oven but is cornered by Fett
and Shand. Fett grabs the LEP droid and asks if he knows whom he is, prompting the droid to
sob. Fett tells the droid that he is Boba Fett, prompting the droid to press a button deactivating
itself in fear. Fett drops the droid in a rubbish bin and moves on, with Shand following.
16The Book of Boba Fett Episode Guide
The two reach the hangar where the Slave I is stored, passing a pair of GNK-series power
droids. Two Gamorrean guards enter the hangar but Fett and Shand subdue them in a brief
fight, knocking them out. The two complement each other but klaxons ring. Several armed guards
storm the hangar and Fett and Shand are forced to hide among the drums and machinery. A
gun battle breaks out. Shand tells Fett to make sure the ship can still fly while she holds off the
other guards. Shand takes out two of the guards while Fett climbs into the Slave I’s and powers
up the ship.
As more guards converge on the hangar, Shand blows up a GNK-series power droid, causing
an explosion that scatters several guards. She shoots four more guards while Fett powers up the
ship. As reinforcements arrive, the Slave I’s engines to come to life, scattering the guards. Shand
climbs aboard the Slave I’s gangplank. As a Gamorrean guard charges at the Slave I, Fett tries
to lift up the ship into flight mode, scattering machinery and unnerving Shand who demands
to know what he is doing. Fett replies that they need to get the gate open but that he can’t see
anything.
Shand fights the Gamorrean guard on the hull of the Slave I. He hits her but she kicks him
back and throws him off. As the Slave I ploughs through concrete structures, Shand fights a
Nikto guard, who had climbed onto the ship’s hull. Fett finds that the ship’s guns are jammed.
As Shand finds the Nikto, she tells Fett that she has an idea and tells him to close the ramp.
Fett reluctantly complies and says he hopes that she knows what she is doing. Shand throws
the Nikto guard off the ramp and enters the ship.
She then fires her blaster at one of the controls for the gate, causing it the door to crash and
giving an opening large enough for the Slave I to escape. As dawn approaches, the Slave I flies
into the skies of Tatooine. Aboard the cockpit, Shand tells Fett that they should stick to the plan
next time, to which Fett is confused about Fennec planning to stick around for a "next time". As
she settles down in the co-pilot seat, Shand asks about the ship’s condition. Fett replies that the
Slave I is in good shape but a little rusty. Shand suggests seeking the services of mechanics on
Mos Eisley. Fett prefers to do the repairs himself, believing that it is advantageous that people
believe he is dead.
Fett reminds Shand that her debt has been paid and asks where she would like to be dropped.
Shand asks where he is headed, prompting Fett to reply he has a few scores to settle. Shand
decides to go for the ride. The Slave I blasts off into the skies.
Later in the day, the Kintan Striders ride their speeder through the desert wastes of Tatooine.
Just then, Fett and Shand catch up with them aboard the Slave I, blasting them from the air with
laser cannons. Several bikes are destroyed and their riders killed or scattered. Fett uses a rocket
to take out the lead bike. He then flies the Slave I away. He and Shan make eye contact before
heading to the Great Pit of Carkoon, where the charred wreckage of the sail barge Khetanna and
a cargo skiff lies.
Fett tells Shand to hang on as he slowly brings the Slave I above the sarlacc pit. He tells
Shand that this was where he had been locked away for several years. Shand initially responds
with disbelief, believing that the armor has dissolved inside the sarlacc’s digestive system. The
sarlacc is still alive, with several sharp horns lining its maw. As the Slave I descends into the
sarlacc’s maw, Fett says he can’t see a thing. Shand warns him to be careful.
He shines a searchlight into the creature’s mouth but finds no sign of the armor. Just then,
the sarlacc awakens and latches onto the Slave I with its tentacles. Shand tells him to shoot it.
Fett uses the ship’s laser cannons to blast at the creature but the sarlacc is strong and attempts
to drag the Slave I down. Shand unbuckles herself to flip a switch that’s just out of her reach,
releasing a seismic charge. The charge is lodged in the engine housing, but is jostled into the maw
of the sarlacc, which swallows it. As Shand yells "fire in the hole," the seismic charge devastates
the sarlacc, forcing the creature to release the Slave I. The Slave I is able to break free. Fett is
grateful but warns her not touch his ship’s buttons in the future.
Later, Fett climbs back out of the sarlacc pit after having rappelled down on a rope in one last
attempt to locate his armor, while Shand pulls on the rope. After returning from the sarlacc, he
tells her that he found nothing but junk. Shand warns that Fett is burning and that he is not
safe inside the creature. As she pours water on his head to cool his body down, Fett tells her
that his armor is not in there. Shand opines that the armor has served its purpose by saving him
from the acid. She recommends that he use a bacta tank. Fett pours the remaining water from
the bottle on his head.
