On today's episode, we honor the life and work of Jeremy Bulloch, who helped bring the role of Boba Fett to life, creating a compelling on-screen persona that paved the way for the character's legendary appeal.

We'll share statements from Bulloch's website, from castmates, and from George Lucas himself. We'll also revisit a write-up from Alan Arnold's Once Upon a Galaxy: The Making of The Empire Strikes Back, which helps to draw a line all the way from Bulloch's performance to Pedro Pascal's in The Mandalorian.

The season 2 finale of The Mandalorian was filled with action and surprise, and also did something similar to the end of season 1 - wrapped up most of its story arcs without major cliffhangers. We'll compare the endings of season 1 and season 2, and talk about what the ending of the second season offers for storylines in season 3. Punch it!
