Not a soul was left alive, and it’s up to Boba to make the funeral pyre. They set fire to the camp and killed everyone present. When Boba returns to the tribe’s encampment, he bares witness to the aftermath of an attack from the biker gang. As such Boba vows to handle the situation so that the Tuskens receive their rightful payment. Unwilling to pay two parties for the same service, the representative that Boba speaks to says that they’ll only pay to one group. Turns out, they too have laid claim to the Dune Sea and are charging the Pykes for protection. The name drop of Mos Eisley is important because it’s there that Boba met with the Pykes in order to collect the protection money the Tuskens are due thanks to the events of “Tribes of Tatooine.” This episode’s flashback sequence includes a reappearance of the biker gang that Boba attacked at Tosche station in order to take their speeder bikes. Lortha is displeased, but it’s either that or he go to Mos Eisley and live out his days there. He also tells Lortha to cut his prices and pays him less than half of what the group owe the watermonger. Seeing as how there’s no work in their district, Boba brings the young thieves into his fold because they can handle themselves. Lortha was charging a month’s worth of credits for a week’s worth of water, so they stole what they needed from him. Unfortunately for the watermonger, Boba has a soft spot for mouthy youth who see an injustice and act accordingly. In repayment for Boba’s assistance with getting rid of the thieves, Lortha pledges to pay double his tribute. Lortha emphasizes that the new daimyo isn’t respected as denoted by this attack which he says never happened before when Jabba and later Bib Fortuna were in power. Instead, he goes on about being offended on Boba’s behalf that this has happened under his watch. While explaining to Boba that he’s been pressed upon by a gang of cyborg youth, Lortha conveniently leaves out the fact that he’s been price gouging his wares. This information comes in handy when Lortha Peel, a watermonger in the worker’s district, pays Boba a visit.
The Trandoshans control the city center, the Aqualish hold dominion in the worker’s district, and the Klatooinians have the starport and the upper sprawl. The droid is explaining the division of power between the three families that run the territory under Boba’s leadership. We open the episode with Boba and Fennec sitting through a presentation from 8D8. The groundwork for those reasons are laid out in the first half of “The Streets of Mos Espa.” The Tuskens deserve better in The Book of Boba Fett
#Book of boba fett chapter 3 series#
The show spent so much time building Boba’s connection with the tribe only for them to be slaughtered three episodes into the series for plot reasons. They’re the emotional catalyst for a future clash with the Pykes in the present day. No, it’s due to the unnecessary murder of the Tuskens. That’s par for the course and needed for the present day storyline for Boba Fett that has dragged in comparison to the flashback sequences that have dominated both the premiere and “The Tribes of Tatooine.” The Book of Boba Fett started off so strong and now we’ve hit the first road bump thanks to episode 3, “The Streets of Mos Espa,” though it’s not because this episode is primarily plot set-up. Major spoilers ahead of The Book of Boba Fett episode 3
