![]() Cad Bane is one of the most integral Star Warscharacters that didn't originate in the Skywalker Saga, and it would be great to see more of him in live-action after his disappointingly brief The Book Of Boba Fettappearance.Serious Star Wars fans agree that "Empire Strikes Back" is by far the best movie from the original trilogy. There's also the opportunity for live-action Cad Bane to appear in flashback sequences, especially if a future show centered around Boba Fett delves into his past. ![]() Cad Bane could make an appearance in any pre- Book of Boba Fett show without it disrupting wider Star Wars canon (although, as Disney proved with Obi Wan Kenobi, preserving canon isn't the top of their priority list). Andor, for example, is set between Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One, when Cad Bane was still very much alive and active. There are many upcomin g Star Wars Disney+ shows covering many timelines, though. A resurrected Cad Bane would give the shortness of his stint better context – it would be foreshadowing a prolonged appearance later on, rather than being seen as shallow fan service as some currently view it. Cad Bane's The Book Of Boba Fett appearance was brief to the extent that some fans feel he was wasted. Clearly, Disney are seeking to capitalize on the fact a lot of Star Wars fans who grew up with the '00s and 2010s animated shows are now adults and would follow the same characters in a more serious live-action drama. Ahsoka has already cast live-action versions of other animated characters like Star Wars Rebels' Sabine Wren, who'll be portrayed by Natasha Liu Bordizzo. ![]() ![]() It's unlikely Cad Bane will show up in Ahsoka specifically (there's been no news hinting he will, at least), but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Sure enough, in the finale of the live-action Disney+ series the two bounty hunters finally got to settle their score. Cad Bane's ruthlessness and determination to control Freetown teased that the much-awaited rematch with Boba would finally happen in The Book of Boba Fett in episode 7. When Cad tells Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant) that " Boba Fett is a cold-blooded killer," Cobb realizes that Cad (and the Pykes) will bring nothing but violence, so he tells him that " Tatooine is closed for business." Unfortunately, this does not end well for Cobb and his deputy. Working with the Pykes benefits Cad Bane in more than one way, as he has a personal vendetta against Boba Fett (further suggesting that the duel the two had in The Clone Wars' cut Boba Fett story is indeed canon). The show revealed the legendary bounty hunter to be working closely with the Pyke Syndicate, are at war with Boba Fett, claiming Tatooine and presumably claiming control of the Triellus Trade Route with it. The Bad Batch left quite a bit of room now for Bane's story to continue, and the additional Cad Bane material in The Bad Batch helped his end at the conclusion of The Book of Boba Fett feel satisfying and also confirmed that he was an important character in Star Wars canon beyond his initial Clone Wars animated series appearance.Ĭad Bane made his live-action debut in The Book of Boba Fett episode 6 through a sinister entrance in Mos Pelgo (now called Freetown). Instead, Bane survived and continued roaming the galaxy for bounties during the years between the fall of the Republic and the eventual rise of the Rebellion against the new Empire. In the middle of their subsequent brawl, Omega managed to escape and get rescued by the Bad Batch, leaving Bane without his bounty.īefore his appearance in The Bad Batch, many had assumed that the intention was for the Bane/Boba Fett fight to result in Bane's death during a scrapped version of the duel they ended up having in live-action. However, the rival bounty hunter Fennec Shand had been hired by the Kaminoan Nala Se, who wanted to ensure Omega's survival as opposed to her termination. ![]() After dueling with the Bad Batch's Hunter, Bane took Omega and planned to deliver her to his clients. It's also revealed that shortly after The Clones Wars' end, Bane took a job from the cloners of Kamino, who needed him to secure the young clone Omega who had become a fugitive along with the rogue Clone Force 99. While Bane was shot as well, The Bad Batch has confirmed that he would live on (albeit with a metal plate in his head). ![]()
