Boba Fett 🤤

mandalor-sabine:

Imagine we’d gotten our two wasted episodes and one lost episode of TBOBF back and been able to see Boba bond with Garsa, utilize that relationship to start getting to know the people of Tatooine THROUGH HER so that her death meant something when it happened instead of just being for obvious shock value. Imagine we’d been able to see Boba start to work to actually fix some of the poverty issues we heard the Mods bring up despite us never actually SEEING IT in action.

And then at the same time, because the dual timeline was no longer in play so we have the ability to have two storylines happening simultaneously, imagine Fennec takes the Mods under her wing, coordinating them as security and helping train them in their various weapons better, learning more about why they got their body modifications in order to come to terms with her own, the one she keeps always hidden behind her outfit. So that when Fennec goes to save them before heading to Mos Eisley and they have that little moment where Fennec makes a joke about Drash having manners, there’s some history there to make it a sweet moment rather than meaningless.

Imagine getting more of Boba and Fennec relating to each other, Boba discussing those dreams with Fennec and admitting that he doesn’t WANT to be known as a violent destructive person anymore, that he wants to be BETTER. Fennec saying that she doesn’t mind being the darkness so long as he’s always there to ground her when she gets back, accept her for who and what she is. Fennec will do the things that need to be done for Boba, and Boba never judges her for it, will PROTECT her because of it and LOVE her for it. They need each other and work as a team together to both be better people and bring something other than destruction anywhere they go.

So that when Boba realizes he can either stay in Mos Espa and protect the citizens of the town OR go to Mos Eisley to take his vengeance on the Pyke leader and the gotra leaders who betrayed him and the Mayor, his choice to make the sacrifice of staying behind and putting the people who need him first is MEANINGFUL. And Fennec choosing to go in his place, to do the thing he needs to have done but is unable to do with his new priorities, is a natural culmination of that relationship. With a scene at the end of Fennec coming back to Boba and just giving him a silent nod when he looks at her, communicating non-verbally that she’s done what had to be done, that justice was dealt. Boba takes a moment to process that, to let go of his anger and his pain, and nods back at Fennec, welcoming her back at his side, despite knowing exactly how much death she just dealt out.

Imagine Boba and Fennec were respected as the co-leads they are and were allowed to grow as characters both individually and together, that their relationship was treated as central to the plot the way other relationships have been in prior Star Wars media.
