More things in Jabba’s old palace change, more they stay the same. Check out the Big Book of Boba Fett’s aliens, aka which species we saw in the new trailer.
Once an alien on Tatooine, always an alien on Tatooine, it seems. The upcoming Disney+ Mandalorian spinoff, The Book of Boba Fett, got its first trailer today which includes a bevy of Star Wars extraterrestrials. These aliens were either seen in A New Hope ’s cantina scene or working for Jabba in Return of the Jedi —but what role are they going to play on the show? We’ve broken down every appearance and what they might mean for Boba Fett’s plan to rule the underworld. You might remember this upsetting little guy scuttling around the beginning of Return of the Jedi, or at least one of his order. The B’omarr monks are so devoted to severing themselves from the physical sensations of the galaxy that they have their brains removed and implanted in these spider-droids to better concentrate on enhancing their mental states. In fact, Jabba’s palace used to be a B’omarr monastery before he took it over, but left the monks scurrying about because they looked cool. Whether Fett has kicked the monks out now that he’s in charge, or whether this monk just likes to go on walks during the Tatooine sunset, remains to be seen. The most famous Ithorian, Momaw Nadon, was one of the aliens sipping drinks in the cantina before Obi-Wan Kenobi ruined the mood. This robed gent is decidedly not Momaw Nadon, given that his coloring is off, and he’s much more regal in appearance and dress. Ithorians are mostly peaceful in nature, but there have been a couple of Ithorian bounty hunters—which may be the reason this guy seems to be meeting with Fett.
