Spoiler:
Cobb Vanth is a character from Wendig's Aftermath series. There are a few differences in Cobb's characterization between the novels and the show, but the same general concept. Also, the novels heavily alluded to him possessing Boba's armor, but it wasn't outright confirmed. The show [obviously] confirms it.

Also- any thoughts on how Boba survived?
Spoiler:
The Sarlacc that Boba fell into was gravely wounded/killed in RotJ, due to the explosion of Jabba's sail barge -- this is how the Jawas were able to start scavenging through it in the first place. So in that case, they probably found Boba's body inside the Sarlacc, removed his armor, and left him for dead.
Of course, the show could easily go somewhere else entirely with his backstory. We'll see. /shrug

Ah ok. I hadn't read it, so must have just heard about it in passing.
The clones grown on Kamino aged at roughly twice the rate of normal humans. So as of The Mandalorian, they'd be in their 70s-80s. Flip side, Boba would be around 40 years old at this point.
Imo, Temuera's character looks much closer to 40 than he does 80:

You could also argue that openly living on Tatooine for the last few years could have physically aged Boba beyond his years. Look at Kenobi, for example... He was canonically just 57 here:

The harshness of Tatooine takes a toll on you. /shrug

Off the top of my head:Spoiler:
-Krayt Dragon
-Krayt Dragon Pearls from KOTOR
-R5 is the droid Luke/Owen almost buy in ANH
-Boba Fett (and his armour)
-The Marshall's speeder is a repurposed pod-racer engine (not sure if it's Anakin's though it sounds like it)
-Boba's jet pack still goes off when hit a certain way.
-The Marshall iirc is a character from one of the books.
-Then there's the obvious stuff like the Death Star, the repair droids, the sandpeople and the banthas etc.
Originally posted by BruceSkywalkerThere were 'leaks' circulating a while back that A'Sharad was going to be the primary antagonist in the Kenobi series, but apparently that plot got scrapped.
pretty good episode.. though i wonder if seeing the krayt dragon foreshadows a'sharad hett in the kenobi series
Even though I really hate returns to Tatooine (there are just so many planets to explore we don't need to go back to this one really ever again). This one was well done. It was nice to see interactions and stories with the Sand People outside of their typical generic savages status in canon. Finally seeing a Greater Krayt was a treat as well.
Excited to see where the Boba Fett plotline goes.
