I wasn’t carried on a litter. I walk on my own two feet.

In Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land, Boba Fett makes his hyper-independence very clear.

He won’t be carried on a litter like Jabba. He will walk on his own, even if it’s not customary to do so.

Even when a Trandoshan pays you a compliment, it sounds like a threat.

When he is speaking with Dokk Strassi, who used to work with crime lord Jabba the Hutt, Strassi says to Boba, “May you never leave Mos Espa.”

Left for dead on the sands of Tatooine. I am Boba Fett.

In several of the internet trailers for The Book of Boba Fett, we hear a simple introduction to our main character and his origins, as he crawls his way out of a sarlacc pit.

In Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land, Boba Fett quickly outlines how he intends to rule.

If you had spoken such insolence to Jabba, he’d have fed you to his menagerie.

In Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land, Fennec Shand reminds the Majordomo that while they rule with respect rather than fear, they will not be walked all over by the Mayor with such disrespect.

Your sister is right. If you want it, you’ll have to kill me for it.

Here is the tribute I offer – some advice. Running a family is more complicated than bounty hunting.

If he’s not gonna speak, he no longer needs his head.

If you wish to continue breathing, I advise you to weigh your next words carefully.

In chapter 3, Boba Fett and Fennec Shand head to talk to Mayor, but are met with resistance from the Majordomo.

Rancor are emotionally complex creatures.

Boba Fett is attempting to learn how to tame and rid a rancor.

He sees a rancor laying down, limp. The rancor keeper tells Boba that the rancor is depressed, which surprises Boba.

However, the rancor keeper advises Boba that they are actually very emotionally complex.

I found this so funny because they look so scary and fierce, but it turns out they are big ol’ softies!

I’m tired of our kind dying because of the idiocy of others. We’re smarter than them. It’s time we took our shot.

Later, as she is healing from her surgery, he explains to Fennec why he wants to start his own house – and take her with him.

Quick little bugger.

Power hates a vacuum.

While tension is brewing with the Mayor, Boba Fett muses showing his face in town. Fennec Shand doesn’t think that’s a good idea, to which Boba says this line.

Persistence without insight will lead to the same outcome. Your body is strong, but your mind is distracted.

In Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian, the Armorer advises the Mandalorian with these words.

Tell him it’s on the house. But first, I got to pay a visit to a little friend.

Fennec Shand arrives to hire Mando as muscle for Boba Fett. Mando agrees, but has to do a little side mission first.

May the force be with you.

It wouldn’t be a Star Wars show or movie without at least one character uttering one of the most well-known lines, would it?

This time it came from Ahsoka Tano as she is talking to Luke Skywalker about training Grogu in Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger.

The galaxy is a dangerous place, Grogu. I will teach you to protect yourself.

Luke Skywalker assures Grogu that he will train him well and keep him protected – or rather teach him to protect himself.

You’re trying too hard. Don’t try, do.

In Chapter 6, Luke Skywalker is training Grogu, who is having trouble with jumping, hence this advice.

Get back up. Always get back up.

Another good piece of advice from Luke Skywalker to Grogu, after the Child falls during training.

I’m here to see the kid.

The Mandalorian arrives to see how Grogu is doing and to give him a set of Mandalorian armor. But first, he encounters droids and eventually, Ahsoka Tano.

She was left for dead on the sands of Tatooine, as was I. But fate sometimes steps in to rescue the wretched.

Boba Fett explains to The Mandalorian how he and Fennec Shand connected.

If that’s not the Quacta calling the Stifling slimy.

Is it just me or did this just seem so silly coming out of Cad Bane’s mouth? Also, gotta love the slang and swears from Star Wars!

Grogu? Whoa! That’s a terrible name. Sorry about that, pal. No way am I calling you that.

When Peli Motto finds out Grogu’s name, this is her reaction.

The Force works in mysterious ways.
