On this episode, we discuss themes and events from the 6th Chapter of the Boba Fett show. We start out by discussing the state of the galaxy after the fall of the Empire, specifically in terms of how Tatooine is left to its own devices by the New Republic. If only the governments in our world would leave us alone and let us self-mange too! Never gonna happen....
We then get into Cobb Vanth and his ethical decision to forgo drug profits, but then also how he is unwilling to assist Boba Fett in freeing the planet from the Pyke Syndicate (which echoes a conversation between Luke and Biggs from A New Hope).
We discuss the Jedi tenet of 'no attachments' which has seemed to find its place in the post original trilogy world, which seems a bit out of place to me. Didn't Luke reject these principles when saving his father? There are parallels here to religion as well.
We talk about Luke's binary decision to Baby Yoda about his future, and how binary decisions are presented previously in Star Wars and other films.
We end with discussing the further rollout of the transhumanism angle, through the complete audio and visual recreation of 1983 Luke Skywalker. How far can this technology go, and how could this be used deviously?
May the force be with you!
