'Book Of Boba Fett' Post-credits Scene Seemingly Confirms That Cobb Vanth Did Survive
"Think it through." - Cobb Vanth (The Book of Boba Fett "Chapter Six: From the Desert Comes a Stranger") The Book of Boba Fett had lots of surprises, and the surprises continued, even when the credits started rolling. As with the second season finale of The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett included a surprising post-credits scene. This scene revealed the presumed dead Freetown marshall, Cobb Vanth, resting comfortably in Boba's bacta tank, seemingly prepared to be operated on by a mod tech. This was the same person who fixed Fennec’s fatal injuries with cybernetics during a flashback scene earlier in the series. The clear allusion, of course, was that Cobb, who was gunned down by Cad Bane in retaliation for standing up to the Pykes’ spice trade in this territory, would likely survive his fatal injuries.

'New' Luke Skywalker Shows Appreciation In An Instagram Post
Warning! Spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian below!!! One of the biggest reveals in The Mandalorian Season 2 finale was the reappearance of Luke Skywalker. It was a shock to everyone to see the face of a young Mark Hamill considering it has been over 40 years since Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope premiered in 1977. This was done by using a younger body double and the help of CGI. The first body double that appeared as Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian was played by Max Lloyd Jones, and the Luke Skywalker in The Book of Boba Fett was played by Scott Lang. Both were presented in the credits as “Stunt Double- Jedi.” Now the role of Luke Skywalker appears to have been officially passed on to Graham Hamilton. He recently posted an appreciation post on Instagram saying:

Why 'The Book Of Boba Fett' Was Never Going To Please Everybody
I am surprised by the reception The Book of Boba Fett has received. I have been a critic of Disney Star Wars but have enjoyed the series. I know others who have been equally disparaging of the Disney Star Wars movies but have enjoyed The Book of Boba Fett. Then there are those who have disliked the series, while others have flagellated it. Social media (particularly Twitter) is awash with condemnation.

Someone Made A Downloadable 3D Model of Mando's N1 Starfighter
Fandom is an amazing thing. Fans can consistently take their favorite series, movies, video games, books, etc., and create something new and breathtaking with their passion. These fan creations go beyond what the original creators expect or anticipate most of the time. Perhaps the most recent example comes from a fan of The Book of Boba Fett, who created a near-perfect Mandalorian N-1 Naboo Starfighter model. And the best part is, the model is available for purchase right now!

Did 'The Book Of Boba Fett' Finale Provide A Hint To Grogu's Fate In The Sequels?
As the final episode of The Book of Boba Fett comes to a close, Grogu’s future becomes a little clearer; or does it? Star Wars fans know that Grogu chose Din Djarin, not Luke Skywalker. But what does this really mean? Since Grogu was first introduced in the 2019 Disney+ series The Mandalorian, there is much to speculate. Is everyone now in love with the adorable child, later identified as Grogu, a Jedi!? He looks like Yoda, so why not? He is of Yoda’s species. The Star Wars timeline has grown increasingly exciting and meaningful with new characters and stories. This cliffhanging strategy by Star Wars creators and storytellers is really leaving the Star Wars fanbase on the edge of their seats. Conversations at the workplace have been engaging in anticipation of what Star Wars has to bring next.

Does 'Book Of Boba Fett' Show Luke Making The Same Mistakes As Yoda?
Warning: Spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett “Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger” Luke Skywalker is back once again, training Grogu in the Jedi ways, in the hopes of bringing back the Jedi Order. People who’ve seen later movies might know how part of that ends, including the fall to the dark side by Luke's own nephew, Ben Solo, but this Chapter could also help to explain why. It raises an interesting question, is Luke learning from the mistakes of the old Order or is he repeating them?

Did You Know The Ancient Mythological History Behind This Marvel Character?
The comic book industry is vast in stories and characters. Marvel is no exception, but one of the most interesting things about Marvel’s characters is that they are not always just their own original characters. In fact, a few characters are based on centuries-old myths. Most of these characters are in the comic books and have not been brought to the screen. The recent movie Eternals is the first to bring some of these lesser-known Marvel superheroes based on myths to the screen. One of these characters is an eons-old mythological character Gilgamesh, played in the movie by Ma Dong-seok (also credited as Don Lee).

Have You Seen This Fan Art Turning Finn Into Regal Jedi Knight?
In the more innocent days of 2015, three years after Disney purchased the Star Wars franchise, a new movie was released called Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The film signaled the start of the sequel trilogy, meaning Episodes VII, VIII, and IX, and the closing of what became known as the Skywalker Saga. In the first movie, fans immediately became divided by what they saw, and even though the prospect of a new Star Wars movie was exciting for most, the content did leave much to be desired, at least for some.
