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

With The Book of Boba Fett Finale in the past, Cad Bane's death is something that needs to be reviewed further and it all comes down to his final moments where his chest plate is going off.

I thought for sure Cad Bane was going to be the one in the bacta tank. That would make for a really interesting second season where we could see some more between the two of them. It also would have been great character development for Boba Fett to not let him die. Cobb Vanth is cool but him being alive basically makes Cad Banes entire part in Boba Fett pointless. He was in two episodes and had no long lasting impact now.

I feel like the beeping was more like a "loss of blood" warning. Its like the life status thing on bobas armor I think. As cad was living breathing etc, It wasn't blinking but after he was stabbed, it started to beep, I think indicating that hes dying. Theres also no way todo could nurse him back, Its a droid that can barely lift a lightsaber and its in the middle of streets of mos espa, if the civilians saw a droid trying to revive the man that tried to destroy their city, they likely wouldn't take too kindly to it.

[@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. That’s just my opinion but I would like to see what you think.

See I think this goes even way deeper than any of this.

His remember CAD was trying to convince fett that he was a killer and I don't think that fett was willing to give in to that even at that moment when he was above bane for the kill shot. There is nothing to say anywhere that I know that the species that Bane is has the exact biology that humans do where fett stabbed him in the chest where the heart would be if he was a human we can't make that assumption. I believe that fett knows this full well he knows that he did not kill bane.

[@chazblank2717]

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.

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

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!

[@matthewoakesphotography]

I personally believe he's alive and will eventually die by the hands of a healed Cobb Vanth. I agree that little details matter and if Cobb Vanth didn't worry/look at the deputy then the dual would've ended differently and then we wouldn't have this fight between Boba Fett and Cad Bane in the finally. So in my eyes them showing Cobb Vanth in the end credits shows that he's going to have his redemption dual and this time end up on top. I'm honestly surprised no one is talking about this

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.

I like Cad Bane and all I think he’s one of the best bounty hunters of all time but he’s definitely dead cause not only is he like maybe 70 years old plus his species doesn’t even live that long and he got most of his ribs broken theirs no doubt about that.

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.

[@sugardaddyscav5834]

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

[@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.

[@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

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!

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.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@rumplebunny]

I was surprised they killed him off, but the Occam's razor explanation would be: solid light = good (all life systems are go), blinking light = bad (warning: life systems failure). But on the other hand, it's still vague enough to where they could make it mean anything if they decide to bring him back.

[@Haunter_Who88]

Aside from NOT having his fate foreshadowed in a post credit scene, my only other question is after the events of that war and fight Boba had with Cad- what did Boba do to dispose of Cad's body? He didn't just leave him there in the open otherwise he'd have stepped in with getting the rancor under control Which would have gave Segway to when Boba came back for Cad, his body would be gone which would signify that Cad survived the blow from the gaffy stick. The only other scenario I could see play out if is Boba didn't claim Cad's body and that maybe someone else collected him as they were collecting Pyke bodies and added him to the bunch- Boba doesn't overlook this to truly confirm Cad is part of the count, likely dispose of the bodies in a fire pyre and its likely then Cad makes his escape with the aide of Toto but that would be my guess. If they did kill Cad I feel there were some missed opportunities to be had like maybe have him pursue after Mando and Grogu or just to have those loose ties with Fennec/Boba/Omega
