One of the most overpowered characters in all of Star Wars may be coming to The Book of Boba Fett. The cowboy-inspired bounty hunter Cade Bane is rumored to appear on the series, making it his live-action debut after becoming a fixture on various animated shows. He was most recently seen in an episode of The Bad Batch.
This makes all of the sense in the world. Described as The Mandalorian 2.5, spinoff The Book of Boba Fett sees the iconic bounty hunter taking over the criminal syndicate once belonging to Jabba the Hutt. That means keeping touch with other underworld types and Cad Bane definitely fits the bill. We know others in his chosen profession will show up, such as Bossk, IG-88, and more.
My buddy says Cad Bane desperately needs “a patch”, because he’s so damn overpowered. He seems to be able to fight and hold his own against pretty much anybody; Jedi (he knows how to wield a lightsaber), Mandalorians, souped-up clones, it doesn’t matter. He’s also one of my favorite characters, and love that he represents Old West gunslingers in look and attitude. Timothy Olyphant would’ve been perfect for Cade Bane if he hadn’t already shown up as another Western-esque character, Cobb Vanth. Perhaps Nathan Fillion? [LRM]
