Why Cad Bane's Heart Monitor BLINKING Means HE IS ALIVE! - Book of Boba Fett Explained

[@sergioandrescontreras5251]

I hate to admit it, but you’re right. We just have to accept the fact that Cad Bane is dead. May he Rest In Peace. Besides Todo is not such a bad guy, he is just wildly misunderstood. In episode 9 of The bad batch bounty lost Omega trick Todo so she could escape, but while doing it she help him fix his leg after Hunter damage it. Cad Bane doesn’t care about Todo, he sees him as a tool to be used for his bounty hunting business. He could have come back for him after he used him as a bomb, but no, Anakin Skywalker fix him to find out more information about Bane and he escaped and reunited with him. In Bounty lost he ignored Todo completely after he was asking him to fix his leg. omega on the other hand wanted to help Todo and then she did, she even pointed out that Cad Bane doesn’t treat him well. Todo then said that his leg feels brand new before Omega turn him off. I can see Todo turning against Bane and joining Omega and the bad batch. He could even be friends with AZI-3 and gonky.

I think he’s definitely coming back… lightening his skin wasn’t an accident, and my thinking after seeing this, is that this is likely to differentiate him from Thrawn. They wanted Cad Banes fate to be mysterious and fuel fan speculation. They kinda had to show Cobb Vanth in the tank because they hint at his possible survival in the episode previous and vaguely referenced it twice in this episode. The weequay bartender suggests Cobb didn’t make it, then Boba mentions the tank being full and the only other person we know to be in queue ahead of Boba for the tank is up and healed eating fruit in the very final shot. Now this is me purely speculating, but I think this post-credits is actually serving to swap out Cara Dune with Cobb Vanth as the potential lead for Rangers of the New Republic.

It makes sense that he's still alive for all the reasons you mentioned. Also, they showed Fennec's injury and surgery at the beginning and I was wondering how was that necessary, as we, probably, already knew enough about that. I thought that maybe she would show those implants to the mod kids and earn their respect or something, but that didn't go that way (or so I recall). Then pretty much right after they "killed" Cad Bane, after the credits, we see Cobb Vanth getting the same treatment from the doctor/engineer that helped Fennec. That last scene looked to me like the writers telling us someone else could come back too. I'm honestly not so sure how I feel about this decision, it looks like plot armor or a strategy to sell more toys and digital stuff based on another fan favorite character. Don't get me wrong, I think Cad is an awesome character from top to bottom and it's a bit odd to simply show him in 2 (?) episodes and then kill him off, someone with so much back story untold! But my point is, if you don't really want to kill him, maybe don't? otherwise it feels as if Disney were really trying to betray the audience every time someone dies (unless they are troopers or other minions). It's almost like you can forget every time a relevant character dies or not watch those episodes at all. At this rate, Disney can kill Grogu and revive him, no problem... Wait, in a way, they kind of did that too by bringing him back to Mando!

Cad Bane is the ultimate kick-butt anti-hero of all the Star Wars time, one of my new favourite characters he is way too dangerous of a character to just fade away, I hope he turns good, he is just way too cool to die so easy, they could have did a little better but he will upgrade himself and be back in his bounty hunting business, I thought Darth Maul was an amazing character this guy is the best new wicked hero would love to see him really flex his pistons and muscle and uber hydrolics, he is FOREVERMORE. he can never die, unless you destroy his blue scripts, very Star Wars. keep them rolling!

[@anmaral-sharif1381]

*"Death"* in Star Wars universe is meaningless! especially for main heros / villans! So they might somehow bring him back just like the others with some non-sense exceuses..

[@DeltaCain13]

I would like to see Cad Bane come back as an anti-hero of sorts. We do know that he has that potential in him, with his code of honor, he helped Obi-Wan once because the unfair fight set up against Obi-wan disgusted him.

[@Justinanderson8654]

I wanted so much to see Todo in live action along with Cad Bane’s other weapons, I was disappointed his last battle was 10% of the battle with obi-wan and Voss. I’m near certain we’ll see him, but it may only be pre-book of bobafet rather than after. Or maybe Todo will seek vengeance and fight boba on his own in season 2

[@blameusa7082]

cad bane should have his own film, best character ive seen in a cartoon film

[@ArthurCallahan389]

I doubt Cad Bane would’ve survived Mace Windus lightsaber chopping his head off. I always hated that George killed Jango Fett in one movie!

[@noahsark4528]

I agree

[@noahsark4528]

Jango was a badass

[@johnnyr4767]

I agree, but George did this to set up bobas back story, so it wasn't a story about Jango but wrapping up bobas back story

[@ArthurCallahan389]

@@johnnyr4767 I know, but it was still disappointing.

[@johnnyr4767]

@@ArthurCallahan389 yea, definitely a cool character to kill so soon

[@FakeJeep]

5:45 Should be noted that people typically die in SW if left untreated because energy weapons do catastrophic damage to the impact area and things around it. Fennec had to have her entire abdominal cavity removed and replaced with cybernetics from a single shot... she 100% would have died if not for Boba. Can assume that people go into shock from the pain of getting hit by a energy weapon and that's why most just drop, but some can keep going until they get filled with shots. The sheriff is probably getting an entire cybernetic arm from being shot in the shoulder and possibly a lung.

[@willwadlington559]

I don't think the plot of the season requires more from Cad, but for the universe as a whole, he's too special to go out like that. He's too big a character to only have two episodes and die without using any of the tactics that make him a crowd favorite and heavy contender. I want him to come back - hopefully after a full make over to fix his color/nose. That said, the Tusken raider staff was very well established - kind of a Chekhov's gun, so the moment may have been intended to be more dramatic than it played out it such a dynamic episode. It's a shame he didn't get to use the Tusken staff to stab the leader of the syndicate.

[@WoodlandDrake]

I think we are going to have a sort of similar plot structure in Book 2 with some flashbacks sprinkled early on that elaborates on Boba's relationship with Cad Bane, maybe emphasizing his need to be prepared for the unexpected, culminating in Cad Bane's "surprise" return as a mid-series twist, and Bane's employers would be the real twist later on.

[@homerhouser2323]

Why Cad Bane's Heart Monitor BLINKING Means HE IS ALIVE! ....uhm because blinking of heart monitor and (clearly audible) sound of heartbeat usually means that this person's heart is beating thus the person is not dead

[@LordBaldur]

The heart doesn’t immediately stop when someone is mortally wounded.

[@homerhouser2323]

@@LordBaldur if they wanted to send clear messege that the dude is dead for good, not mortaly wounded or smth, they would ve specificaly showed how this light stoped blinking and heartbeat cut off, or they just wouldn't ve bothered with all that heart monitor/heartbeat thing in the first place. But they obviously wanted to make this a point of emphasis saying: "Look, viewers! the light is blinking! we didn't kill off this beloved character (he might come back, depending on feedback)"

[@markperkins8941]

I read a star wars book when I was a little kid .I've known boba Fett survived the sarlac put for a really long time..I'm just happy they finally showed that fact

[@nightwolf3285]

"this would prove that Cad Bane is the best bounty hunter we've ever seen, better than jango and boba..." But is he better than Calo Nord?

[@worldlinezero4783]

Nobody is

[@lorenabell4713]

I saw that beeper and instantly thought he was still alive. It could be a beeken but I think it also is an automatic stim pack that gets injected into him. It might also disperse a repair agent to stop the internal bleeding and keep him alive longer to get into the backta tank. Also if you think about force lightning technique stops your heart so it might also be a defibulizor as well.

[@zachl5471]

If they bring Cad Bane back from the dead, Id rather them bring Ventress back from the dead. I don’t need more Cad Bane, I need more Ventress. I just want to see her be represented in live action and get the much deserved return.

[@sameaston9587]

My dad would be sooo happy if Cad Bane is still alive. He never saw the cartoons, so BoBF is his first exposure to Cad, and left a really good mark on him.

[@lorexperti]

If he actually survives and get to fight Boba one more time i think Boba would be like... *HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN?!* also lol fr let my boy Cad rest he is like 80yo or something

[@Nite-Rise]

He isn’t exactly the type to die easily. This man gave Jedi’s a run for their money

[@WeiderMystic]

It's OK to grieve. Denial is the first stage of loss.

[@sambreyer7344]

the emperor fell into a space station reactor, then blew up into force matter, then the space station exploded. He was alive. Darth Maul got his legs chopped off and fell down a pit. Alive. Fennec got shot point blank in the stomach and left for about 4 hours to bleed out. Alive. Cad Bane got stabbed once in the chest by a staff. Hes alive lmao

[@stephenelberfeld8175]

"Clatu varoda nikdo", lol. Like in "The Day the Earth Stood Still", Cad Bane has an automatic signal sent to to his robot companion to retrieve and revive him.

[@treyhardin8511]

I certainly hope he is alive. Definitely one of my favorite characters to boot. Super versatile with a mysterious facade but carries a code of honor which is highly respected.!!

[@dreaminginvalhalla1914]

Cad Bane is no man of honor. Atleast not in the Clone Wars.

[@therope340]

I don't know what character you've been observing but Cad is no honorable being. Arrogant & pragmatic are the two best descriptors for him.

[@flawlesspine483hamonn5]

I too have felt that such a character wouldn't meet his demise sooo simply! He's way to cool to discard like that!!

[@leftistnewsnetwork]

He's Alive!!!

[@dblundz]

I honestly couldn’t see Dave killing his favourite creation in a couple episodes. Without that beeping I just know he wasn’t dead, bruh got shot in the head and survived 😂

[@lukebeyer1121]

Cob Vanth was shot in the shoulder. Much different then being stabbed in the stomach.

I hope not. While I love Cad, I think dying from Boba was the best way for him to go out

Personally I think the scene with cad on his back and the blinking and beeping was the original end credit scene.

[@daviddent5662]

It's sad when people can't accept that the Tatooine Retirement Plan never fails. I mean I'll give you that it's outside chance but it's like how people were predicting Mace Windu would be in the finale and can't accept that man is either deep in the bowels of Coruscant AS A CORPSE. He ain't coming back. xD Not everyone gets to survive against the odds.

[@pimpkobratko8722]

He survived a fight with fuc*ing two Jedi Masters and does it damn well, and I don't believe that his legacy is over yet

[@wallacelang1374]

The consistent tendency in Star Wars (especially Disney's version of Star Wars) is that the villains don't die very easily, so Cad Bane was in essence "dying" but he has most likely survived his encounter with Boba Fett.

[@thegorthan9072]

What would be cool is if he was somehow included in the Ahsoka series, or even Andor, or some other series we have not considered. He’s been around. And if he’s a bounty hunter, he could’ve been sent to locate and collect Ezra Bridger or Sabine Ren. So it’s entirely possible we could see him in either a series set in the recent past, or include him in the future of the Star Wars universe. But please, we brought back Maul, we brought back Boba. Bring this dude back man. Cmon. He’s too good. Would be cool if Cobb Vanth has another run in with him in the future. That would be just like a Clint Eastwood movie. I’m telling you, A Fistfull of Dollars set in the Star Wars universe would be DOPE!

[@SnipeU696]

At current rate, Cad will probably join Bobba in the next season, now that he is free of his contract from the Pikes.

[@LetsGoGetUm]

would love cad bane having his own series next.

[@xxxxzorroxxxx]

[@jager-fett]

He is totally alive and I think you nailed it, we needed that post credit scene with him also getting fixed up.

[@gonkdroid4prez539]

I think he will show up either in Ahsoka, Kenobi, or both because he was a huge part of both of their characters' development during the Clone Wars: almost venting Ahsoka, and The Box Arc for Kenobi, which is where we see him first seriously questioning the Jedi order

[@StarBlasto]

Imagine it becomes another Boba fett. We go 40 years without knowing if he is alive or not.

[@mitchcoleman1238]

This makes sense because we know that Disney retconned Toto’s death when he was blown up in the Jedi temple in the clone wars series and yet he was still around during the bad batch!

Why not, I'm not even a Cad Bane fan but I think his portrayal and dialogue and scenes were beyond any expectations I had for him. Dead on perfect⚡

[@Slim_Cognito]

The gaffee stick has that sharp bend on the tip that, (as boba so beautifully demonstrates) you twist back and forth once you’ve stabbed into someone’s guts to cause catastrophic internal organ damage.

[@joebaumann1083]

Every review i've seen has missed this. I was wondering where his droid was so I'm almost sure now we'll get a scene showing Toto rushing up to save him. The only problem is wouldn't everyone wonder where the body is?
