How Old Cad Bane Is In The Book Of Boba Fett
Caution: spoilers ahead for The Book of Boba Fett episode 6
Cad Bane makes a fearsome entrance in The Book of Boba Fett episode 6, but how old is this grizzled, red-eyed bounty hunter extraordinaire? Inspired by Lee Van Cleef's «Angel Eyes» in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Dave Filoni devised Cad Bane for Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 1. Hailing from Duro, Cad Bane learned his bounty hunting craft from Jango Fett, and came to be considered the greatest gunslinger in the galaxy after Mace Windu deprived Jango of his head. Working for the Empire, the Hutts, and anyone else who paid him, Bane clashed with the likes of Anakin Skywalker during The Clone Wars, but also mentored a young Boba Fett. In Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Cad Bane duels Fennec Shand and Clone Force 99, failing in his mission to kidnap Omega.
Restricted to animation and comic books until now, Star Wars fans have been eagerly awaiting a live-action Cad Bane appearance for years. That moment finally arrives in The Book of Boba Fett episode 6, «From The Desert Comes A Stranger.» Bane has evidently been hired by the Pykes as muscle to protect their spice-running interests across Tatooine, now that the syndicate faces a challenge from Boba Fett, who recently replaced the meek Bib Fortuna as Daimyo of Mos Espa. Bane lets Cobb Vanth and the citizens of Mos Pelgo know in no uncertain terms that they shouldn't take Boba's side in the coming fight.
