The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

[Older Beholder]

I agree but I liked them better before I realized they were literally named the "mods". Then the direct borrowings from mod subculture like the mirrors on their vehicles seemed a little a little too on the nose and puny to me.

But, it should be noted that as an American the mod subculture is only familiar to me because I'm a huge Quadrophenia fan. Most Americans (the audience the creators understand, whatever abstract intentions they have about a worldwide audience) probably don't quite make the connection.

I get that, the whole 'mod' (modifications) vs 'mod' (biker mod squad) reference is more for groans than it is for laughs. But I don't mind lame jokes.

In Australia we know of Mods more from Quadrophenia than reality as well.
For me it reminds me of things like Goth and heavy metal subcultures in a country town where it was stinking hot.

I think there's a real push in the TV series so far to blend the visual aesthetics from all 3 trilogies, which I think they're doing a pretty good job.

Do we really think Cad Bane is dead? That light on his shirt didn’t start blinking until after Boba stabbed him. I think that’s supposed to mean something.

Plus, if Fennec can survive a blaster shot to the gut and Cobb a blaster shot to the shoulder, surely Cad can survive a stab to the chest.

yeah, I didn’t watch Clone Wars or Mandolorian but could easily pick that he was the black hat quick draw villain who had some history with both Boba and Jango. However was he a Pyke? He did look like one...

No he is a mercenary for hire. Generally one who works for the baddest bad guys. As an associate of Jango he takes the juvenile Boba under his wing, but is troubled that Boba seems to have scruples, and tries to cure him of those, playing on his desire for revenge against Mace Windu.

It's funny how some people (not here) remarked that since Boba is "middle aged", and Cad Bane is a generation older than him, he should be very old.
But we don't know the life expectancy of Duros. They could well live to be 120 or 200.

Just like Ahsoka, a Togruta. She's at least 15 years older than Luke, yet doesn't look it. Alien species age differently, as we all know.

Apparently they live around 70 years and Cad is around 71.

Hence Boba calling him old man.

Apparently.

Temuera is 62, is Boba suppose to be the same age? I suppose Bane only being 9 years older does make the Old man comment more stinging

 

[Ryujin]

Did anyone else catch Mod Boy doing the signature Rodriguez "El Mariachi" move late in the fight? Not exactly the most efficient fighting style

I did appreciate how they had Cad walking slowly and stiffly, which showed that he was old. He was still fast on the draw, though.
