Why did boba fett die

Boba soon discovers that he has a telepathic connection to past victims of the creature and begins to communicate with them. This leads him to talk to the Sarlacc's first victim, Susejo, who has some level of control over the creature due to this connection.

After the Sarlacc makes contact with Boba Fett's jetpack , the ensuing explosion is enough to allow Fett to wrangle himself free. Boba must then use grenades to blow a hole through the side of the Sarlacc so that he could escape. Boba Fett's proper return in Star Wars canon has only just happened, but Lucasfilm set up his escape from the Sarlacc pit years ago.

During Chuck Wendig's Aftermath trilogy, readers were first introduced to Cobb Vanth Timothy Olyphant , a former slave who becomes a sheriff of a Tatooine town. The books cleverly insinuated that Vanth wore Boba Fett's armor without directly confirming that it was the same suit.

The story featured Vanth acquiring Mandalorian armor from Jawas. In the book's events, it is explained that the explosion of Jabba the Hutt's Sail Barge left the Sarlacc critically injured and exposed.

The Jawas took this as an opportunity to mine the creature for potential loot, finding Mandalorian armor during this excursion, which was teased to be Boba Fett's.

Even though the books stop short of explicitly saying Vanth acquires Boba Fett's armor from the Jawas , it's not a difficult leap to make. The Jawas finding just the armor, though, can be taken as a tease that Fett survived.

It is already known that the Sarlacc's digestive system takes years to fully process anything, and the likelihood is that it would only consume Boba's body and not the armor is slim.

This points to Boba managing to escape the Sarlacc pit and either taking the armor off himself or having it stripped from him by the Jawas. In either case, Boba Fett would be alive. Boba Fett might only be in a few seconds of The Mandalorian season 2 so far, but the first episode still provided plenty of clues for how he escaped and what happened after. It is clear that at some point after his escape that he lost or gave up his armor. While we don't know the root of Boba Fett not having his iconic costume anymore, he has been without it long enough to acquire a new get up.

He's in a large cloak and has new weapons holstered on his back. Whatever happened to him that allowed him to escape the Sarlacc, it appears to have changed Boba Fett. One of these changes to Boba Fett's look in The Mandalorian season 2 might also be a tease of him escaping from the Sarlacc pit. When he turns around after watching Din Djarin ride through Tatooine with his armor on his speeder bike, Bobe Fett sports scars that haven't been seen before.

But he put up a fight on their behalf, fighting until he no longer could. Quickly after his defeat, Boba went out to mourn his father — grabbing the helmet he wore, symbolizing he would make his return as a bigger, even better bounty hunter than his father.

For all the skill and equipment at his disposal, Fett was little match for a warrior with the Force at his command in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.

It is perhaps morbidly ironic that the clones make their first appearance in battle just moments after their genetic template has been extinguished. Some of these copies even survive longer than the Republic that they were created to defend in the first place. One clone in particular is the living legacy of Jango Fett.

He is a pure genetic reproduction. It might seem vain that Fett trusted no other companion than one of his own stock. But perhaps a life of killing for a living gives one trust issues. The senior Fett had the perfect companion in his son. He knew he could trust him because he was him. Boba clearly felt the same way. While Jango Fett may be gone, his legacy, even his very genetic code, has had a profound impact on the whole galaxy. Have more to say about the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy?
