Cad Bane Shows How Bad Boba Fett's Tusken Raiders Flashbacks Were
Warning! SPOILERS for The Book of Boba Fett episode 6.
Cad Bane’s appearance at the end of The Book of Boba Fett episode 6 serves as convincing evidence of how bad the Tusken Raider flashbacks were. With how involved Cad Bane was in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, in addition to the connection he should have with Boba Fett, he’s bound to play a large part in the upcoming finale.

The first four episodes don’t do a great job of establishing neither what Boba Fett is doing by taking over Jabba the Hutt’s operation nor what sort of stakes are involved in the show's plot. Multiple antagonists, such as the mayor of Mos Espa and Jabba’s cousins, are teased before the show ultimately makes the Pykes the antagonists. Not to mention that Fett’s life as the new Daimyo is hardly explored, as the show instead invests multiple episodes in showing flashbacks of Fett being taken by Tusken Raiders after he escaped the sarlaac pit. The flashbacks do a good job of filling in the blanks of Fett’s history between Return of the Jedi and The Mandalorian, but they took focus away from the main story and contributed to the show feeling unfocused and undercooked.
