Book Of Boba Fett’s Weird Plot Hole Ignored The Series Premiere

Warning! SPOILERS for The Book of Boba Fett.

The Book of Boba Fett episode 4 spent a lot of time having the former bounty hunter revisit the Sarlacc pit, but the scene creates a plot hole by ignoring the series premiere. The Lucasfilm and Disney+ show reveals that Temuera Morrison's Boba Fett survived after the character fell into a Sarlacc pit in 1983's Return of the Jedi. Flashback scenes reveal how Boba Fett befriended Tusken Raiders and attempted to recover his ship and Mandalorian armor. In addition, Boba Fett tries to become the new crime lord on Tatooine in present-day scenes. However, the local residents aren't always welcoming.

Besides Temuera Morrison's Boba Fett, the Disney+ series also features several notable Star Wars characters. In the series, Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand takes her place by Boba Fett's side, working on securing his new Tatooine empire. Jennifer Beals also joins the show as Garsa Fwip, a Twi'lek running a cantina in Mos Espa. Additionally, the series includes several significant returns, with Pedro Pascal reviving his role as Din Djarin/the Mandalorian and Amy Sedaris returning as Peli Motto.

In The Book of Boba Fett episode 4, Boba Fett attempted to retrieve his armor, inadvertently creating a plot hole. During the episode, Boba Fett recovered his ship from Jabba the Hutt's Palace, and he made a quick stop at the Sarlacc pit to look for his armor inside the beast. The problem is Boba Fett used his armor in the series premiere to escape from the Sarlacc pit. In the premiere, he made it onto the sands of Tatooine before eventually passing out. Jawas came and took his armor away, but he briefly woke up and grabbed one of them. The scenes show that Boba Fett should know his armor isn't in the Sarlacc.

Boba Fett's visit to the Sarlacc in episode 4 is strange. Though the former bounty hunter lost consciousness after escaping from the Sarlacc, he appeared aware of everything going on while he was getting out of the beast's belly. He even thought on his feet quick enough to seemingly take oxygen from a dead stormtrooper the monster also consumed. Unfortunately, Boba Fett's return to the Sarlacc made the bounty hunter look incompetent. He didn't even have a good plan when he arrived at the Sarlacc, and Boba Fett would've likely died if Fennec Shand hadn't done quick thinking and killed the beast with an explosive.

The Book of Boba Fett was all about changing the bounty hunter's story, and sometimes that retconning creates Star Wars plot holes. In the case of episode 4, the series wanted to give Boba Fett some closure with the Sarlacc, so it had the bounty hunter returning to the monster to retrieve his armor. While it's strange that Boba Fett forgot he brought his armor outside of the beast, the episode appeared more concerned with the bounty hunter facing the Sarlacc one more time. After all, the series also appears to retcon the Aftermath trilogy by author Chuck Wendig, which revealed the Sarlacc was gravely injured by Jabba the Hutt's burning sail barge. The Book of Boba Fett isn't going to let the Star Wars canon stop it, even if it creates plot holes bigger than a Sarlacc pit.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms, Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death.

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
