Everyone should remember, Bobba is a clone. And like all clones, he likely has accelerated aging. I think the bacta helps slow down his aging and help cells regenerate. As we all all know, our cells breakdown as as we age. So imaging being a clone with accelerated aging. And it didn’t help being in the Sarlak pit.

Bacta works very quickly for people who are "mauled by Wampas", but very slowly for more extensive injuries, like Boba Fett's. Darth Vader had to receive Bacta treatments for "23 years" after his epic defeat on Mustafar. Grogu could have healed Boba Fett's injuries in under 5 minutes, but that didn't happen.

[@chexwarior]

@@RB-NZ2 I mean, we don't know if he's had "no healing" maybe the Tuskens have some sort of native healing practice, or he managed to scrape together enough to pay a doctor at Anchorhead for just enough Bacta to stay in fighting shape, but not enough to fully heal. Surviving the arid climate could also be to do with his friendship with the Tuskens: learning where/how to shelter, finding those water fruits under the sand, etc...

[@arc7878]

Honestly, it's quite possible Boba uses the bacta tank due to his clone nature. In Legends, that nature caused him to develop a genetic disease when he was 71 years old, being forced to retrieve the remains of his father Jango in order to find a cure

[@karlrovey]

Honestly, the fact that he made it to 71 prior to having issues related to being a clone shows how much better the cloning process is in the Star Wars universe than it is on earth. If we were going off of what we can assume would happen (based on animal clones) if we were to clone a human, Boba would have been having cloning related issues by 30, likely experiencing arthritis, tumors, etc.

IRL, cloned mammals have shorter telomeres than normal. This doesn't cause them to reach adulthood any faster, but does cause them to suffer the effects of old age sooner than the same species would if bred conventionally. Add that to the hard life of a bounty hunter, and whatever effects there are from exposure to the sarlacc's digestive fluids, and I'd say Boba's got a lot of good reasons to sleep in bacta. Without it, at very least he'd be creaky in the mornings. Getting older sucks bantha poodoo.

There are plenty of real life examples of Binary Star Systems, although they aren't as common as the Unitary Star System, like ours. It's actually really interesting how they act and operate and the planets that exist inside the Binary Star System. For one, they orbit around a Bycenter instead of an Epicenter, because the gravity of two suns are acting on them instead of one. Resulting in an orbit that resembles more like a revolving oval instead of the circle our system is largely familiar with.

[@Myemnhk]

@@devildog7792 I'm pretty sure binary+ star systems account for roughly half of all star systems in our galaxy (atleast to our knowledge based on stars in our immediate vicinity, because white dwarfs are dim and extremely hard to spot in the majority of the galaxy, so we cannot determine if stars are a binary with a white dwarf at long distances or not)

[@BenderDaOffenda]

I think it's a combination of Sarlacc, wear and tear, and taking too long to properly heal. Because as we saw, he didn't get to properly heal after the Sarlacc. He was abducted by the tuskan raiders and who knows what he went through before getting to properly heal again. Most people can push themselves through a grind phase and rest up once it's done and finished. Boba could've went too long through that grind phase while his body was still burnt up from the Sarlacc and additional injuries before and after that wasn't treated. So he's now constantly using the bacta tanks to make up for lost time.

Edit: Also since he’s a clone, even unaltered, maybe he wasn’t a perfect replication of Jango and had some unknown defects since cloning was a complex task or Jango had some genetic issue that would have popped up later in life if Mace Windu didn’t give him a lightsaber haircut from the neck up. Time will tell in the Book of Boba Fett.

@@ozdeveraux2082 This is applying knowledge of what happens to cloned animals in on earth.

There is a common theme to that, those who attacked him in that episode were prepared and ready to assault him. shock sticks and barriers in ambush is probably the smartest choice on their part since they were up against one of the deadliest snipers and bounty hunters around, oh and few nameless gamoreans. Most of their combat ability is ranged and Boba did not bring his gaffi stick with him this time, but I hope he rethinks that decision.

[@DracoSafarius]

I'd put it on mostly dealing with the poison having prolonged exposure in his lungs/blood. The acid damage is bad and would've hurt, but having longstanding toxins in your body and eating your lungs... Yeah that'll wreck you and wouldn't be a quick fix, and he wasn't having bacta baths as far as we know prior to this.

[@lordfrostwind3151]

[@niverian7789]

Well I for one say it was a combination of exposure to the Sarlacc as well as his very hard life growing up and the extreme wear and tear, but the Sarlacc had done the bulk of the damage. Digestion and the caustic fluids and gasses were doing very long term damage. I mean he woke up after an indetermined amount of time. It could well have been hours or a day. The acids had slipped into his clothing and his air supply was likely used up which made him awaken. Also using his flamethrower may have only made a deadlier concoction of gasses. Yes he would be one of very few in the galaxy to escape the bowels of the Sarlacc and live to tell the tale. But he would be having serious concequences from this. If anything this was the start of a series of humbling events that would redefine Boba's view on life. He, like Jonah would be a changed man after such a harrowing experience.

Something to consider would be his age. He's at least ten years old when we first see him on-screen in Episode II. Then we have between then and Episode 6 so figure on adding another 18 to 20 years at least. Meaning he's at keast in the mid 30s range for age when the sarlacc swallows him. Then at least two to four more years when he pops up in The Mandalorian so at LEAST in his early to mid 40s, roughly. Then there's the wear and tear of being a mercenary and bounty hunter. He is clearly trying to keep himself in working condition at an advanced age by using a bacta tank even if he's not dying.

[@rtyler1869]

He has lingering injuries from the Sarlacc Pit and these have been compounded by exposure while with the Tusken’s as well as the Assassins attack. Simply healing after 1-2 years after Return of the Jedi

[@skits_3d824]

I mean he did have his helmet on when he was inside the sarlak but that didn't filter out the gasses like a stormtrooper's helmet that had air in it. The sarlak had natural acid inside its stomach. So for a good minute while knocked out he could have been breathing in all that gas. Meaning his lungs were being dissolved or possibly corroded. Another fact is his skin as liquids can be absorbed in the pores of the body and he DID have skin contact with the gas

Video has been up for 1 minute but a bunch of people are already talking about the whole video

[@Mitsoxfan]

Also, Boba is a clone. Although unaltered, unlike the rest of the clone troopers, you do have to wonder if he still has some form of accelerated aging. Also, in the EU, he has some health issues after the Yuuzhan Vong War during the Mandalore arc.

[@hackman669]

I dearly hope they bring back the Yuuzhan Vong War and other elements of Legends. Simply set the timeline, war, after the last movie trilogy, or simply have the other series in another universe. Then boom Legends is reborn. Could make the new series of films after Jedi and Bring back young Luke using the new actor. Perhaps inspiration could come from a combo of Legends material mixed with the Mandilorian and Boba Fett?

[@maliziosoeperverso1697]

The accelerated aging _was_ one of the alterations the Kaminoans added to the Clone Army. If he's unaltered, he doesn't have accelerated aging. Period.

[@jackiew.747]

Best inform, video on the bacta tank so far. I would like to think the sauna room or portable tent steam bath in real life comparison.

[@02091992able]

The time in the Sarlacc even though fairly short the acids that were present in the sarlacc burned him. Pretty much fact as if it's an acid able to dissolve plastoid found in Storm Trooper armor it probably wouldn't want to be something you would want to come in contact with the skin. It didn't have the time to dissolve Boba's armor, but it did take the paint off from it. His under-armor clothing was shown with holes in it, so it probably burned him.

[@hackman669]

So that is the reason he is bald! The acid from the Pit got to him.

[@lerneanlion]

In the real world, a lot of drinks started out as medicine. So why nobody in Star Wars galaxy ever made bacta drinkable yet?

[@Flemdragon]

What was that worm that obviously helped him. He didn’t eat or drink for however long and was still fine enough to fight that monster and escape. Was that some healing worm juice?

[@sentientmustache8360]

@@Flemdragon it was some sort of ammonia to wake him up

[@mateese688]

@@sentientmustache8360 so it was worm piss? lol

[@DollarStoreGuardian]

I have a theory it has to do with Boba Fett being an ‘Unaltered Clone’ and its some form of cellular degradation. Keep in mind that he was one of millions of clones. And anytime you clone something over and over...

[@Estuschugz]

He was the first clone, so that really wouldn't be an issue for him.

[@DollarStoreGuardian]

@@Estuschugz 🧐 i see the answer on google and it appears you are right but it cites sources from a bunch of EU and Legends comics and novels, i wonder tho how much of that is Disney Canon... cuz i just dont buy the scars being from the sarlac with the Beskar armor being pressurized and a being able to survive being in the vacuum of space.

[@Estuschugz]

@@DollarStoreGuardian dunno man. Ever since disney took over, the eu has been iffy. Some eu stuff they should have went with though.

[@DollarStoreGuardian]

@@Estuschugz agreed

[@karlrovey]

@@Estuschugz Actually, if we apply our knowledge about animal clones on earth, he should be experiencing those cloning related problems even as a 1st generation clone.

[@sketchtherapy1218]

HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@jackrowe9807]

I say ii is the Sarlac. Inhaling dangerous gases take a long time to heal, as well as acid burns and electric burns. The fact he’s able to function at all is a testament to the effect of the bacta treatment.

[@MedievalFolkDance]

It would be an interesting touch if Boba had some kind of genetic illness. He is, after all, a completely unaltered clone of Jango. If Jango had something, so does Boba. Would explain why Jango decided to hang up the rocketpack and go for an early retirement on Kamino.

[@badape9227]

In the EU lore I think he does have some kind of illness, he has to dig up his dad for a cure

[@davidwong9230]

Sarlacc: I need heartburn pills Boba: I need a bacta tank Scriptwriter: You need plot armour

No plot armour needef

[@rainbowflameproductions7121]

I think it’s a combination of his duel with Cad Bane, the general wear on his body (perhaps early onset arthritis,) and his time in the sarlacc. Maybe even some oxygen deprivation damage.

[@PelinalDidNothingWrong]

Can we all just appreciate how badass Boba's escape from the Sarlacc was?

[@Poke-ladd]

I think it would be funny if one day he’s trapped in his tank cause Hondo ohnaka locks him inside and just for one day we see the chaos he causes

[@TheZorch]

Boba was an unaltered clone, so he's not aging faster like Rex.

[@JustinSambula]

Or Gregor, Wolffe, Cody, The Bad Batch, and all the other clones too. Expect for him and Omega 👀

[@weldonwin]

Unless he's suffered some kind of genetic damage from his time in the Sarlacc pit, or the Kaminoans tried to screw Jango by giving him a cut-price clone

[@karlrovey]

He may not be aging faster, he's older geneticallythan physically. In real world cloned animals, this manifests itself in age related health problems at younger ages than in non-clones.

[@badkarma3059]

As the old saying goes "its not the age, its the mileage"

[@johnwickisboss8757]

Live your vids

[@westonprather3157]

Shit, I’d sleep in a Bacta tank. Probably way better than adrenochrome. I’d imagine it’s really similar to a float tank.

[@RB-NZ2]

Probably different. Probably way different

[@veiledrecalcitrance4314]

I was super surprised to see that the sarlac pit causes one to gain a bunch of weight if you manage to get out. I’m sitting there watching Boba on the sand after digging his way out of the sarlac stomach, thinking “huh, he seems to have put on like 40lbs from how he looked when he went in in ROTJ”. Maybe the sarlac serves milkshakes to all the things it swallows for their daily meals hahaha. Ah but then again, Jango was always the chubby version of Boba.

[@5353Jumper]

Yeah I am guessing that Mr. Morrison will not be featured in any of those "Radical body transformations for a role" video for this one. Kinda rocking the dad bod. Or like me, he has been working on his "Fat Thor from Endgame" cosplay look for the last 10 years.

[@phoenixlordyami5393]

41 is not old at all, my mother is 67, so boba is a little bit past his prime, but he’s STILL in a somewhat prime state

[@Noobtaco]

I believe the oxygen he took from the trooper was used to be air, but mostly to feed his armor so his flame thrower had fuel for the escape.

[@pauljason7552]

I nearly think that Disney is going to try and pull another Luke stunt on us... And reveal that Boba Fett is washed up and useless while quickly introducing a much younger inexperienced character to be the replacement Bounty Hunter and miraculously making them overpowered in every respect... Queue Barbara Fett ... :P

[@LairdErnst]

I’m guessing it’s a combination of reasons. He may have a disease he picked up from the Sarlacc, while also dealing with the damage accrued over the years of bounty hunting, and needing an extra edge on his younger competition.

[@bulletlottery]

Regular bacta tank sessions leads to living longer and not dying from obvious problems like cancer and organ issues especially on how old he is in this show. Boba being a 1 to 1 clone has Jango's genetic flaws, the cloners identified the issues and asked Jango "are you sure you don't want as to alter your clones genetics to get rid of the flaws" and he told them not to change anything.

[@DaxRaider]

He's just healing

[@davidburns2119]

With all that Boba has been through it’s probably a combination of all the above, the accumulation of the effects of being in the sarlac pit, the past wear and tear “plus current damage” and his age catching up with him .

[@optcron]

he is fully healed now

[@themutualfriend5286]

I think we all need some of that polynesian spa treatment.

[@damnyousmutims2009]

Love the guards

[@nathancroud3730]

I'm pretty sure he's just healing, not dying. In Canon, bacta isn't just a one time treatment. Anyone who is severely injured has to undergo many quite long treatments in order to mend their wounds. Boba sustained major, possibly even mortal injuries in the Sarlacc. He was able to keep going do to shear will, but he is clearly much weaker in the flashbacks as well as the mandalorian. I think the goal of this episode is for each treatment to lead into a flashback with the Tuskens or wherever else he was on Tattoine, with the final episode cementing him as the leader of tattoines organized crime ring, as well as having his final flashback being the moment he sees Mando and Cobb Vanth riding through the desert

[@zerrierslizer1]

a simple answer is that the body heals faster when the body is in a relaxed state. so him sleeping in a Bacta Tank is actually genious, as the Bacta helps his natural healing process and enchances what can be healed.

[@Reinnemann2]

Temuera is 61 years old and I think he looks GREAT!

[@Seeking444]

The bacta tank looks fun I wanna try it

[@GenericTerrorist]

The Polynesian spa is canon

[@jhs2110]

He’s not just sleeping in a bacta tank he’s actually spending a bit of quality time with his mother

PROB FEELS FUKIN GOOD SHEESH

[@Coolman0893]

Boss: You...bacta...now! Scorch: I thought you'd never ask sir...

[@JosephDawson1986]

I think its healing from the Sarlaac, his time with the sand people and then his ordeal with Din Djarin and now he has the time and ability he is going to ise the bacta pod to reverse that damage amd maybe some of the damage taken in his life as a bounty hunter.

[@jamesleduke873]

It could still be a cloning issue. In legends, that's exactly what happened to him. In Legacy of the Force, in 40 ABY, his body basically started to try and tear itself apart.

[@thedoc7184]

I think he just uses it to keep himself strong since he is basically fighting every day so he needs to heal often.

[@demonblade001]

Between the sarlaac and just living on that planet I'm surprised he hasn't gone full Ben Kenobi.

[@AceSpadeThePikachu]

In the Legends novels (though much later in the timeline, when he was in his 70s and training Jana to defeat her dark-side-turned brother Jacen), he did in fact have a degenerative genetic disease caused by the cloning process and needed to take pain killers regularly to stave off severe and crippling arthritis-like symptoms. That could also be what's happening here in combination with the damage to his skin from the Sarlacc.

[@acbtunes7065]

Ahhhhhhh chillin' in the Polynesian spah, that's why

[@streetgangtm]

I think the way the Bacta feels just gives him PTSD of the Sarlac pit and its the first time he's really felt it because he almost died and basically didn't have a say in the matter.

[@iroquoispliskin5956]

Sleeping in the bacta tank reminds him of the pod he was gestated in on Kamino.

[@joshmanpro7993]

It is probably to heal lifestyle injuries along with the fact that maybe the effects of the Bacta liquid may linger a day or so in the same way as treatments in our world do not end the minute you stop. It would make sense to use it to not only recover but also as added protection against attack / poison that you receive as part of your daily risk factors. You come out of the Bacta tank a little stronger and more resilient than normal which is why I think he lasted as long in his fight in the third episode.

[@sirrloin]

Even in the last episode it said he's fully healed. He was scarred from being in the pit and all the sun exposure when he was a captured slave.

[@nathanplunkett4641]

He's making his ultimate transition to Boba Tea.

[@lukeseigfried7687]

Could we get a What If Obi Wan accompanied Qui Gon into Mos Espa video? Between meeting Anakin's mother and being on the ground when Darth Maul arrived I think there is a lot to consider.
