Warning! SPOILERS for Book of Boba Fett episode 5.
Not much time appears to have passed between The Mandalorian season 2 and episode 5 of The Book of Boba Fett, but a lot still happened off-screen. Book of Boba Fett's episode 5focused entirely on the Mandalorian, also known as Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), in the events that lead to his reunification with Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand. Mentioned at the end of the previous episode, Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and Fennec Shand need to seek muscle to help them with the Pyke Syndicate problem rising against them. The past four Book of Boba Fett episodes answer many questions about Tatooine and the intricate crime world that Boba Fett wishes to play a heavy hand in. With Star Wars' Pyke Syndicate warring with Boba Fett, the daunting Spice smugglers are clearly becoming this show's main antagonistic threat. Using Din Djarin as a way to help out Boba Fett is wise, considering the strong connection that the Mandalorians have with the Pykes.
Before moving onto his Boba Fett storyline, the audience got to catch up with the Mandalorian. The season 2 finale was over a year ago on December 18, 2020, with its yet-to-be-announced season 3 release date likely making the time apart seasons to be two years. While many fans remarked that Boba Fett's episode 5 felt more like aMandalorian season 3 premiere, it did curb the wait time for Djarin's story. By Djarin interacting with many Mandalorian characters in Boba Fett's episode 5, like Amy Sedaris' perm-haired hangar manager Peli Motto and Emily Swallow's Armorer, the episode answered a lot of questions about his time post-Grogu.
