RELATED: 'Star Wars': The Best Acting Performances Across All 11 Movies Although Boba Fett died an underwhelming death at the beginning of Return of the Jedi, his popularity resulted in a multitude of appearances in books, comics, and video games. Darth Vader's warning to Boba against disintegrations while he pursued the crew of the Millenium Falcon produced a great deal of curiosity about the bounty hunter. In spite of having less than seven minutes of screen time and only four lines of dialogue in the original Star Wars trilogy, Boba Fett cemented his status as a fan favorite the moment he appeared in The Empire Strikes Back. As such, a flashback officially revealing this duel certainly feels warranted in the next episode of The Book of Boba Fett. Furthermore, episodes of The Bad Batch saw Bane working with a plate covering part of his own head, teasing that the duel did happen and is a part of the Star Wars canon (even if it was never fully realized on-screen). Even so, the shot from Bane's powerful customized blaster is what caused the classic dent in Fett's helmet. However, both survived as Boba was wearing his inherited Mandalorian armor from Jango. Unwilling to go to the same lengths of darkness and dishonor, Boba Fett faced Bane in a gunslinger's duel where they both shot themselves in the heads at the same time.

As such, Star Wars revealed that Bane would have initially taken a teenage Boba under his wing, giving him tips and bounty hunting tricks he learned from Boba's father, Jango, who had likewise tutored Bane. While the episodes featuring Boba Fett and Cad Bane's partnership-turned-rivalry were never fully finished for The Clone Wars, Lucasfilm ultimately released some of the plots, storyboards, and even pre-vis footage with recorded dialogue. In any case, here's what is known about Cad Bane's history as well as his dynamic connections to Boba Fett. However, it would be good to learn more of Bane's secret history, seeing as how he's been missing since before the end of the Clone Wars until now in the years after the Empire's defeat. It looks as though The Book of Boba Fett is setting up an epic showdown and rematch between Cad Bane and Boba Fett once the Pykes launch their inevitable assault on Mos Espa.

Regardless, Cad Bane is not a bounty hunter to be trifled with, especially now that the Book of Boba Fett has confirmed that he's still alive with his first live-action appearance, working with the Pykes and threatening the people of Freetown to stay out of their business and away from Lord Fett. However, it was briefly referenced in the recent Bad Batch show. Sadly, most of their history and eventual rivalry never officially made it to Star Wars' first animated series. While Cad Bane was once known as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy following the death of Jango Fett in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Fett's son Boba would grow up to surpass Bane near the end of the Clone Wars (and on into the future). Who is Cad Bane, and what is his history and connection with Boba Fett?
While his name wasn't said in the new Star Wars series, the gunslinger's iconic look is unmistakable to fans of the animated series, being none other than the legendary Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane. The Book of Boba Fett episode 6 features the live-action debut of a familiar blue-skinned gunslinger working for the Pyke Syndicate against the titular crime lord. Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Book of Boba Fett episode 6!
