The Book of Boba Fett Season One - 225 Easter Eggs

[@yllibsivad31]

I like how proud Alex sounds any time he says "This is the first time it has appeared in live action."

[@unownintendo]

I mean, don’t we all hahaha

[@PerovNigma]

Surprised he missed the chef droid spinning its arms like General Grievous.

[@AbsolXGuardian]

27:57 Another very interesting thing about this shot is that the Empire made quote "battle droids" illegal, which is why KX droids don't wield blasters. Obviously an empire doing a genocide is more than willing to break their own rules away from prying eyes, but it means that someone decided to give them blasters, and possibly had to load them with marksmen programs.

[@toganium4175]

Honestly, I love the fact that R5-D4 lives with Peli Motto in this show. I’m glad to know that he wasn’t deemed a useless droid.

[@Joesith_]

And R5 and R2 Reunited!!

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

He's a good droid; knew R2 had a mission that the galaxy relied upon.

[@childishisnotachild7277]

0:40 I like how star wars technology are continuously improving, like the old X-wings and the resistance's x-wing and how now the first order tie fighter have hyperdrive technology while also having a tail gunner. The technology keeps on getting better.

[@Syt1976]

"It's been a good year for Kamino" - I know what you're saying, but considering the end of Bad Batch ... phrasing? :D On the bartender saying that Mos Espa's problems aren't Freetown's problems - it actually reminded me more of the attitude of Boss Nass at first when asked for assistance for the Naboo against the Trade Federation.

[@TheMhalpern]

Well not great for tapoca city

[@strikerevimus]

10:00 Here's another fun fact about Black Krrsantan, he was originally a design for Chewbacca, but George felt it was too scary, so it was changed to the wookie we know and love today. However, Krrsantan had a great design, and great designs never go to waste, so it evidently became a new character when it was used in the new Marvel Star Wars comics.

[@newstarshipsmell8022]

31:11 This scene also features R5-D4 slowly rolling across the bay in the background, coming to a stop, and then billowing smoke until the end of the scene. Guess his motivator's still bad, huh?

[@theaustralian1970]

"It's been a good year for Kamino" *Cuts to Tipoca city sinking into the depths.*

[@longhairgreeneyes]

LOVE your Easter Egg breakdowns! One thing I liked that you didn't mention though, is the parallel that both Boba and Omega seem to have a particular affinity for rancors, and now have both ridden one!

[@skits_3d824]

I was hoping you caught the reference to the bad batch scene with Rex. Rex: Being dead in the empire's eyes does have its advantages Boba: There's an advantage to having people think your dead. I always thought that was a little off in what Rex said during that time but now it makes more sense if they want to link shows at some point in season 2. Then there's Omega's subtle theme heard in episode 2 after Boba and the tuskens take the Pyke's train

[@pillowlava]

In "A New Hope" when Luke and C3pO catch up to R2. R2 detects several creatures approaching. Luke says, "Sand people or worse..." I like to think that the "or worse" that Luke is referring to is one of the sand creatures that Boba and the young Tusken fight and kill.

[@JasonGray71]

I loved every second one of this show & especially loved that it was so richly filled with tons of things we have loved about Star Wars!

[@fortheloveofzuckuss1724]

Great video as always, no Star Wars marathon is complete to me without your end of season videos. The biker gang really should have been called Sons of Anchorhead!

[@thebavariansidonithano9050]

I love how when every new Series ends, the Easter-Egg-Video comes out and my Galaxy gets bigger

[@Lauchkopf97]

I don't know if this was intended but the train sequence reminded me a lot of settlers shooting bison from trains and some tribes of Native Americans were dependent on those bison. The Sand People in turn are dependent on their Banthas. As I said I don't know if this was deliberate but defending the train against uncivilized raiders, also rung a bell, but I was watching a video about it right before the episode so eh....

[@wendyweaver8749]

jean toni - And the train on its side with the contents both spilling out and being removed is reminiscent of a scene from the movie, Lawrence of Arabia. Even to boxes being opened and discarded because the contents are not useful to the Tuscans/Arab fighters.

[@longhairgreeneyes]

I definitely think the comparison to the American west was on purpose.

[@PsychoStreak]

While you mentioned that the way Boba get's dressed by the droids mirrors how the Tuskens dressed him once he formally joined them, he's actually wearing the tusken robes under his armor. He could have just grabbed a spare set of clothes from the Slave One, but he doesn't. He consciously chooses to meld the two parts of his life in that manner. They are both inextricable parts of who he is, and for him they do not conflict, they combine to make him stronger.

[@Jorizzle22]

Aw beautiful ❤

[@Undead0117YT]

Could be wrong, but the clone troopers in the flashback sounded like they were voiced by Dee Bradley Baker from Clone Wars. Also, this may be a bit of a reach, but the stormtrooper in the sarlacc pit could be another reference to Battlefront (2015). On the map Dune Sea Exchange, there is a sarlacc pit that players often jumped into.

[@Centaur255]

Fantastic as always! Mostly just leaving a comment here for the algorithm, but also in Chapter 7 the Freetown folk reference a "cycler" when preparing to snipe from the roof, which is a reference to the tusken sniper rifle.

[@EmmaEquinox]

Alex and Mollie out here working way too hard Y'all are legends 🙏

[@theweirdmindoftonyrice2280]

"Stranger in a strange land" was originally in the Old Testament and was credited to Moses. Moses was a murderer who then went on to lead the Jews but ultimately never got to go into the Promised Land because he couldn't overcome his anger. I think the biblical reference is more relevant to the Book of Boba Fett if you grok my meaning.

[@michellehanson984]

The title Stranger in a Strange Land is also originally a reference to the line in the Bible when Moses names his son Gershom ('a stranger there'). He says, "For I have been a stranger in a strange land," reflecting on being a Hebrew in the Egyptian court and then an exile in the desert until he's taken in by the Midianites

[@sassylass985]

The "Meiloorun fruit" could be first seen in 1983 Return of the Jedi. They're in a basket near frozen Han when Leia thaws him out.

[@geoffreyabel8011]

Dang! I didn't catch that. But those are the beasts eggs right?

[@staroceans8677]

As ALWAYS a very thorough and excellent wrap. I would like to hear you mention, as you have so many wonderful times in a very respectful way to the actors that contribute to the success of the Mandalorian and Boba Fett's series. The 2 individuals that do most of the stunts if not much of the acting with Pedro's narrative insertion would be for Brandon Wayne and I think his name is Lateef Crowder. Without their SOLID performances it couldn't come together so convincingly. Brandon has done a lot of the physical acting and even though Pedro does a great voice much of the credit would be to them as well.

[@BallinProductionDogs]

I think they need to make a season 2 of Boba. This was a great first season but whatever Favreau wants us to appreciate about Boba hasn’t been seen yet. Also pretty sure it’s already confirmed for a second season

[@JettQuasar]

Well-done review! I binge-watched the series and I thought it was much better viewed that way.

[@trifan8201]

43:12 when the majordome reads the plate and it says ,,My offer is nothing" it is a direct reference to Godfather 2 scene with Michael Corleone and senator Geary negotiations

[@TheFallinhalo]

Regarding the Second Yoda Lightsaber, i dont think its a retcon, i think as the Jedi Grandmaster, it stands to reason that Yoda would know and be trained in all forms of ligthsaber combat, as one of those is the use 2 Lightsabers at once, he has a second one just for those occasions.

[@skits_3d824]

I am in shock at how Cad isn't dead but how his breathing tubes are being activated in that scene. Boba's attack with the gaffi stick must have hit whatever is a lung to Cad's species and activate his breathing apparatus

[@Mr.Bogaard]

This is the type of video that makes me love the Star Wars lore even more and the show Book of Boba Fett

[@charlietheunicorn5383]

Amazing recap Alex.

[@dcaffran]

Hi! Amazing video! In the very last bit about the glass dome in the N1 fighter, I would add that it connects with Ralph McQuarrie's designs for the Y-Wing, which had the same dome in the style of WW2 bombers. There are a few early illustrations featuring it.

[@Joesith_]

So many details I didn’t notice lmao you’re incredible

[@lexington476]

Question, in the episodes that had the Tusken Raiders they always seem to have a fire going, where do they get that wood for a fire in a desert?

[@DaleESkywalker]

Lizard dreams.

[@Sick-cada]

Maybe they use other flammable materials like creatures hides/guts?

[@rickcoona]

Banana PooDoo!

[@twstf8905]

R.I.P. Razorcrest 🙏 The _real_ Tragedy.

[@BretMuckdogs]

Thank you for this video.

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

Another amazing video

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thank you, Alex! ❧

[@Shoobadon52]

The choice that Grogu gets between the armor and the lightsaber can be seen as reminiscent to Shoguns Assassin aka Lone Wolf and Cub where Itto Ogami gives Diagaro (his son) the choice between a ball (to join his mother in death) or the sword (to join his father in the quest for vengeance).

[@wolfxp2]

I’ve been looking forward to this😉

[@gonzothompson4686]

Thanks for this!

[@pygmybisoncomtedebournon4207]

If I remember right, Tuskans using hand signs was introduced in KOTOR

[@seeingred1409]

If you listen closely to the sound effects of the Scorpinec droids you can hear that they have borrowed sound effects from ED-209 from the first Robocop movie. Also im pretty sure I also heard the sound of a door opening from Doom

[@gabriel.skywalker44]

I love the prequel trilogy references.

[@TylerCharlesFisher]

"It's been a good year for Kamino..." The Kaminoans would beg to differ.

[@Flopfist]

Now you can play as boba fett in his own palace in battlefront 2

[@ryanswihart1448]

Can’t imagine the homework that went into this. Hats off to you sir! 👌🏻

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

41:10 I knew I couldn't be the only one!

[@wendyweaver8749]

There is also at least one scene where Boba brushes his fingers along his cheek to mimic Marlon Brando's gesture in The Godfather, Part 1.

[@kineuhansen8629]

that blue vespa thing remind me so much about jeremy clarkson vespa from the top gear vietnam special

[@moercus]

The halo is a direct replica of the ringworld from the book Ringworld by Larry Niven.

[@sundhaug92]

Crashing into the cart might be a reference to Back to the future

[@_thomas1031]

THAT is a high number😯🙌

[@EthanFrowen]

Awesome video buddy

[@apharris01]

"And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. " Exodus 2:22

[@adrianbreton560]

6:18 is listed as Cantina Latina and the guitar is played by Robert Rodriguez

[@silvernexoknight]

Awesome Vid

[@kenshindalee4900]

The shield armor arm thing was scene in the classic clone wars cartoon movie from a assassin obi wan fights

[@SKRicochet]

Perfect thumbnail

[@sansalvatore6869]

The butcher shop in the fifth episode could be a reference to Satriale’s, the butcher shop the Tony Soprano and the Aprile family crime family operate out of in the Sopranos. Kind of a stretch but considering the show’s inspiration from crime and mob stories it’s plausible.

[@MoshTMA]

The way Din decapitated a body behind the butcher shop curtains kinda reminded me of Chris and Furio cutting up Richie at Satriales.

[@lord_egg]

David Filoni had plans for Barris Offee later in the clone wars series. It is highly likely that her story is not over and will be explained. Also we don't know what metal Yoda's lightsaber is made from. Sooooo. It could have survived.

[@RadioofHorror]

The Scorpion Droids remind me of the Droids u fight in the SW Republic Commandoes video game, recently rereleased for PS4 with Racer.

[@samuelcarlsen1442]

I also think some of the music sounds a lot like what was in the clone wars episode where R2-D2 was kidnapped Don’t know if it’s a deliberate move from the writers but it definitely gave me those vibes So I guess you can call that a connection to the Clone wars

[@isaiahvilla6691]

its was really nice to See The RX Series Dorid in live action since Star Wars Rebels The original Star tours from Disneyland Disney World And Galaxy's Edge DJ Rex

[@xxlonesomewolf8284]

15:00 my head canon is: that Bomar Monk is Bib Fortuna’s that Boba let Fennec do offscreen or sum 😂

[@TheSteamponkwordsmith]

There was a Biff playing with Max in Janna’s palace. I think he may be the Jim stein man to Max’s Meatloaf

[@HostileBurger]

Kitster is going to be in Obi-Wan. Calling it. And Wizard is our 1st hint to that...

[@midknight]

Was just about to head to bed… I guess sleep can wait for this

[@doomforzombies]

“It’s been a good year for kamino” seeing it getting destroyed in the bad batch

[@laurarobinson805]

Found another one! Din uses a vibroshiv/vibroblade when figting with Vizla.

[@vickelibert5637]

i would have said the ring looked like the ring/moon from treassure planet it looked like

[@sebastianalvaradocolon5983]

On Chapter 6, I first thought that temple was on Chandrila.

[@The-Duggernaut]

I say that the scenes between Luke and Grogu is the most beautiful scenes ever from the Star Wars universe.

[@ericb9931]

Is there some sort of weird KZbin conspiracy where every SW channel seems to all universally try to pretend that E'Chuta doesn't obviously mean "eat sh*t"?

[@travisking8358]

Cant believe you missed the callback to lone wolf and cub reference between luke and grogu with yodas lightsaber and the mandalorian gift

[@jackwilliamtaylor5656]

5:54 I couldn’t care less if the cowards at Disney have made it non canon, Max’s music will always be called Jizz to me

[@WolfSpiritAD]

Sooo... The Book of Boba Fett is a 'HUGE' Basket of Easter eggs? :D Nice Hunt though lol By the way I noticed in this show but not sure if it was shown before. The Jawa's are not wearing gloves in this series and you can actually see fur around their hands.

[@StarwarsCustomizer12]

I just realized that LEP droids are probably called that in reference to Lepi which have similar rabbit like ears. How have I never made that connection?

[@brickabang]

Another easter egg. During the meeting scene in episode 6, you can see the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett for 30 seconds

[@pedrorenault5335]

Also, in the last episode, when the Gamorreans fall, they scream like the Acklay in Attack of The Clones

[@soundblaster1987reviews]

You can ride a Plunk Droid in the LEGO Clone Wars game, in the level based on the "Rookies" episode.

[@Evilelf24]

26:10 what about jincoln cadera's beskar sword

[@l33t9r0u93]

37:28 wait wasn't it luke who pulled him on each of leaps ?

[@NostalgiaBrit]

I'm guessing that, when watching _'The Book of Boba Fett'_ in the UK, we get/see a different cut of the episodes, because some of the scenes you’ve described in this video were definitely _not_ in the show when I watched it on *Disney+* 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe I should set my VPN to the US in order to see the cuts y’all get to watch over there! 🤔

[@lucassantos8185]

What if Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Barriss Offee? :0 And, hey, bassist Thundercat as the modifier guy was a great cameo!

[@torrellplatt7337]

It good to see b8

[@gunner56000]

Lol "it's been a good year for kamino" .. kamnio literally gets destroyed in bad batch 😅

[@warhistory1895]

39:54 *The Banana Republics approve*

[@StuartLugsden]

Maybe the crest is meant to mean that the quarters on that floor are for mirialan jedi.

[@MCLegoboy]

40:01 Swole 3PO

[@Pixel22-fs3tt]

Ah yes attack the eye like with EVERY SINGLE ZELDA BOSS

[@DavismTXAG98]

Mythosaur return = Mandalorian version of Jurassic Park? Maybe the dark saber gets hidden in a faux Barbasol can ...

[@justindiligentslothcreager2208]

I actually think the first reference to those melons that the sand people drink from is actually from the first journal of Ben Kenobi from the Marvel Star Wars Comic

[@hockdan]

14:08 "Bobo" lol

[@staying_spooky]

13:28 it’s actually just a sea urchin shell.

[@johnnicol6504]

what about when the rancor has the droid in a headlock and boba says "do it". Clear reference to anakin killing dooku.

[@swrpggm]

FYI, the Star Wars website named the sand creature a Tatooine Sand Ape.

[@andrewmurray1550]

and apparently, there's supposed to be a Rebel based on Tatooine, according to the (old) PC game, Rebel Assault......are games like that considered "legends" or just disregarded? That game-play portrayed events from A New Hope (Death Star) and Empire Strikes Back (Battle of Hoth) all rolled into one so it doesn't really fit into any "official" storyline whether canon or legends.

[@Jackattack_321]

Maybe some Jedi put that symbolizes n their doors showing that they agreed with her regarding the Jedi’s involvement in the war. Although she did kill a bunch of people and I don’t think they would have wanted to remember that

[@mauricerose3082]

...Jawas apparently take anything that's not nailed down...
