Why The Hutts Really Gave The Rancor To Boba Fett - Theory Explained
Warning: SPOILERS for The Book of Boba Fett episode 3.
In The Book of Boba Fett, the Hutt Twins give Boba Fett a young rancor as a gift, but the gesture may have a sinister meaning.

Though the character appeared to die in 1983's Return of the Jedi after falling into the Sarlacc pit, The Book of Boba Fett shows flashbacks of how the character survived the Sarlacc and was taken captive by Tusken Raiders. The present-day story follows Boba Fett's attempt to rule on Jabba the Hutt's throne. However, the residents of Tatooine aren't always receptive to the new Daimyo. In particular, the Hutt Twins want to rule Tatooine for themselves.

In episode 3, the Twins even send Black Krrsantan (portrayed by actor Carey Jones) to assassinate the former bounty hunter. However, Boba Fett and his followers foil the plan, trapping Black Krrsantan, a Wookiee bounty hunter, in Jabba's old rancor cage. The Hutt Twins later appear in the episode to apologize and give a young rancor as restitution.
