Having touched upon it briefly in the Book of Boba Fett Episode 7 breakdown, I gotta say, I don’t think Cad Bane is dead. In the book of Boba Fett finale, cad bane was killed super fast by Boba Fett, in a spin of events he threw him on his feet with his Gaffi stick and thrusted the tail end of it into Cad’s chest. I just don’t think Dave Filoni would bring back this huge animated character only to give him the most lame death in two seconds.

We were left with Boba walking away and Cad Bane’s vest beeping like a bomb were about to go off. This, I believe, is his transponder to his droid to come and pick him up. Bane has survived his shot to the head from Boba in the unreleased clone wars episode, which is also how Boba got the dent in his helmet. This is why Cad had that metal plate on his head in the show, and for us animated Star Wars fans, we’ve seen that plate. I highly recommend watching the clone wars, rebels, and the bad batch to really understand all these characters.

So what I think will happen, is Cad Bane gets picked up by his droid, Todo 360, who puts him in his ship and then either throws him in a Bacta tank or flies him to someone who can heal him.

His tubes also allow him to breathe via the pipe going into his throat, so it’s possible that while his lungs might be punctured from Boba, he’s able to breathe from the mechanics of his tubes.

Now if you didn’t know, Bane has these so that he can prevent being force choked by Jedi. The tube in his throat doesn’t allow his trachea to close when being force choked, which makes him impervious to that kind of devastating attack. So his life could also be sustained by those tubes.

I believe we will see him again, I don’t think this is the end for him. The push in shot we got of his beeping vest really alludes to his return and that he’s not really dead.

I think for season 2 we could see Cad Bane return with a more powerful enemy, maybe a crime syndicate which was something that George Lucas was planning to incorporate into his sequel trilogy with the Hutts and Crimson Dawn and beyond. If you want to learn more about that, check my video out with all the proof and evidence from George’s mouth himself, of his sequel trilogy.

I believe we may be getting more to Boba in the next season, which I assume we’ll get based on Ming Na Wen’s post regarding season 1, which makes me think we’re getting a book of Boba Fett season 2.
