Everything You Need to Know About Cad Bane

With Cad Bane in The Bad Batch Episode 8's reveal, I was not expecting his return at all! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Cad Bane's character in The Clone Wars is one that was supposed to end with a big duel with Boba Fett. That arc was never released despite being recorded. Could we get the long awaited battle in The Bad Batch? I'd love to see Boba Fett dawn the green Jango Fett armor and take on the notorious Bane.
Bane against an enhanced clone like Hunter proved to us how skilled he is, but to see him against Jango's creation, Boba, will be a sight to be seen for sure.
Here are 10 interesting facts about Cad Bane!

While you’re probably right, I think it’s also possible he’s wanted by the empire at that point.
