After months of speculation, the closing moments of The Mandalorian‘s Season 2 premiere confirmed that the legendary Boba Fett had indeed survived his trip into the Sarlacc pit in Return of the Jedi, with Temuera Morrison looking like he definitely had a score to settle as he watched Mando and Baby Yoda speed off into the distance with his armor in tow.
To the disappointment of many fans, the second episode didn’t pick up on that dangling plot thread, and instead saw the title hero and his little green sidekick head off Tatooine entirely. However, “The Passenger” opened in standard Mandalorian fashion by having the bounty hunter handily dispatch a group of bandits that wrecked his mode of transportation and had their sights set on robbing him blind.
A new theory claims that the rogues may have been hired by Boba Fett himself, who appears to have focused on reclaiming his armor that ended up in the hands of Cobb Vanth by any means necessary. Having escaped from the Sarlacc pit and generally looking much worse for wear, there’s every chance that Boba isn’t strong enough to take on Mando without assistance, especially when he doesn’t have his weaponry to hand.
The Mandalorian takes place roughly five years after Return of the Jedi, and so far we don’t know how long Boba Fett has been aimlessly wandering the sands of Tatooine after surviving certain doom. The bandits in “The Passenger” seemed to know that Mando was coming from a long way off, and Boba Fett could yet make more attempts to get his armor back until he winds up face to face with Din Djarin himself in a later episode.
