Why Star Wars Killed [SPOILER] So Quickly
WARNING: This article contains spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett episode 7.
The Book of Boba Fett finale killed off a recently introduced character in Cad Bane, though the surprising outcome was entirely justified. Among the Disney+ series' myriad of character cameos in episode 6, Cad Bane's attracted the most attention, as it represented the sinister bounty hunter's live-action debut. Toward The Book of Boba Fett episode 7's beginning, Bane and Fett met, but Fett declined a duel with Bane. Later, following a second staredown between the two killers-for-hire, they exchanged gunfire, and Fett eventually killed Bane by driving his gaffi stick into the latter's chest. Compounded by Boba Fett's history with Cad Bane, the pair's showdown in The Book of Boba Fett episode 7 carried a massive weight in the Star Wars universe despite its hasty conclusion.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars most explicitly detailed Cad Bane and Boba Fett's relationship. Season 4 of the animated series revealed that Bane had served as a mentor to Fett. Accordingly, The Book of Boba Fett finale confirmed through dialogue that Bane instructed Fett, as well as his father Jango before him. While the two never appeared on screen together in The Clone Wars, the Star Wars show established their once-collaborative dynamic.
