With that in mind, it would be great to see Han’s reaction to the news that Fett survived the Sarlacc.

It hasn’t been documented too much in the current Star Wars canon just yet, but it’s fairly well-established in Legends continuity that Han Solo and Boba Fett were arch-enemies long before the events of the Original Trilogy. The Smugglers’ Moon, as it’s also known, orbits the Hutt homeworld of Nal Hutta and played home to “a large criminal underworld of bounty hunters and crime lords,” according to Wookieepedia– the perfect kind of place for Boba Fett to hang out… or perhaps even to seek his prey. Boba Fett was able to retrieve his armor from Din Djarin in The Mandalorian, but why couldn’t he do the same with Cobb Vanth– the character played by actor Timothy Olyphant in the show’s second-season premiere, “The Marshal”? Vanth first showed up in a series of novels entitled Star Wars: Aftermath, where we saw a slightly different take on how he came by Fett’s gear, but how neat would it be if Olyphant reprised his role in The Book of Boba Fett, either in flashbacks to answer the question posed above or otherwise as part of the ongoing story?Ī location that has been visited plenty of times in the Star Wars novels, comic books, and video games, Nar Shaddaa has yet to show up in live-action storytelling.
