Every Phantom Menace Reference In The Book Of Boba Fett Episode 5
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Book of Boba Fett episode 5.
In The Book of Boba Fett's surprising episode starring The Mandalorian's Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), a good number of references to Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace are made as soon as Djarin returns to Tatooine. Seeking a replacement for his Razor Crest gunship that was destroyed in The Mandalorian's second season, Djarin believed he had been promised a new one from Mos Eisley mechanic Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris). However, what he got instead was very different, leading to a plethora of Easter eggs and references to the first episode in the Skywalker saga of Star Wars films.
While the first half of The Book of Boba Fett episode 5 features Din Djarin reuniting with and subsequently being rejected by Paz Vizsla and the Armorer after his confession that he had removed his helmet, the Mandalorian departs for Tatooine. This leads to him being less than pleased with Motto's reveal that she does not have a gunship but instead a decommissioned N-1 Naboo Starfighter. However, once the two restore and customize the iconic ship by the episode's end, it's quite impressive (and very fast).
