With the book of Boba Fett Season 1 episode 1 airing in under 24 hours and promising to show the rise of Boba Fett as the Galaxy’s most respectable crime lord, there is so much potential for huge character reveals, familiar faces and connections to the other star wars stories being told right now in the books and comics… Things like Crimson Dawn and connections to the black sun fit perfectly in the show and would really connect Boba’s new empire to the rest of the Galaxy. So we’re going to break down 7 predictions for Book of Boba Boba Fett which could happen throughout the series!
So for number 1 we have the Current leader of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate after the death of Maul and Dryden Vos, Qi’ra. Right now in the ongoing comic trilogy of War of the Bounty Hunters, Crimson Reign and The Hidden Empire we’re witnessing the Rise of Qi’ra and how she took control of Crimson Dawn after Maul’s demise at the hands of Obi-wan Kenobi on the sands of Tatooine in Star Wars Rebels. We get a deep glimpse at how she learned the ways of the Dark Side from Darth Maul despite not being force sensitive herself, and using that knowledge to announce the Return of the Dawn to the Galaxy.
The authors of the comic line have already confirmed that War of the Bounty Hunters is a mini prequel to the Book of Boba Fett and I’d say it’s pretty likely we’ll get some flashbacks to the events of that series, considering how intertwined they are with Boba Fett’s original trilogy story as he transported Han Solo’s carbonite frozen body back to Jabba. Boba actually lost Han’s body on the way back to Tatooine after Empire Strikes Back, leading to Qi’ra getting hold of it and using it as a statement to the Galaxy that Crimson Dawn is back.
In the Crimson Reign Series, Qi’ra begins a quest to take down Darth Sidious and Darth Vader, hoping to rule the galaxy as a crime syndicate… So this makes her the perfect villain to show up and challenge Boba Fett’s claim to territory and his stake as the top crime lord.
