The newest episode of The Book of Boba Fett was a giant departure for the present, because it wasn’t actually an episode of The Book of Boba Fett in any respect. Temuera Morrison’s hunter-turned-Daimyo was completely MIA, with the whole thing of “Chapter 5” switching the main focus to Mando himself, Din Djarin, revealing what occurred to Grogu’s adoptive dad after the occasions of The Mandalorian season two finale.
Though it was somewhat bizarre to take a break from the primary storyline this deep into the season, Star Wars fans had no complaints about listening to Pedro Pascal’s silky tones once more. A day after its release on Disney Plus, Pascal has now reacted to his much-anticipated return to the galaxy far, far-off on Twitter. Resharing a tweet from The Mandalorian‘s official account featuring a GIF of his character’s uber-cool entrance within the ep, Pascal added his personal temporary remark: “Wizard.”
As those that watched “Return of the Mandalorian” know, “wizard” is what Djarin stated as soon as he obtained again from taking his new ship, a refurbished N-1 starfighter, for a take a look at drive. If you thought the slang time period was somewhat out-of-character for Mando, to not point out unusual for the Star Wars universe typically, that’s as a result of it’s a tongue-in-cheek nod to younger Anakin Skywalker’s use of the phrase in The Phantom Menace. And it was removed from this chapter’s solely deep-cut easter egg.
By gifting Darin a brand new ship, revealing that he’s been reduce off from his folks, and teeing him up for a much-needed reunion with Grogu, this episode was primarily a backdoor prequel for The Mandalorian season three — which, don’t fear, will get right here finally. Best of all, it appears he’s going to be sticking round for at the least yet another week. So prepare for Mando and Fett to group up as soon as once more as The Book of Boba Fett continues subsequent Wednesday on Disney Plus.
