    Star Wars: The Book Of Boba Fett Episode 5 Easter Eggs And References

    By Mat Elfring on January 26, 2022 at 10:28AM PST

    In Episode 5 of The Book of Boba Fett--titled "Return of the Mandalorian"--the titular Fett took a backseat as the episode revolved around Din Djarin (otherwise known as the Mandalorian), and while we figured we'd be seeing Mando again after the musical cue at the end of last week's episode, we didn't think it would be a whole episode revolving around him--and give us a clue about what to expect when The Mandalorian returns for Season 3.

    Warning: The following contains spoilers for the fifth episode of The Book of Boba Fett, "Return of The Mandalorian." If you've yet to watch the episode on Disney+, you might want to stop reading now.

    The majority of this episode puts Mando's life back on track--somewhat--as he gets ousted by his own people, gets a new spaceship, and meets up with some old friends. Directed by

    Bryce Dallas Howard, this episode featured a few Easter eggs and references to other things in the Star Wars universe.

    Episode 5 has some deep ties to the animated series The Clone Wars and even the prequel movies. Below, you'll find [X] references and Easter eggs to various other Star Wars properties.

    The Darksaber's origins

    The Darksaber's origins

    If you'll remember the end of Season 2 of The Mandalorian, Mando is now in possession of the Darksaber, after defeating Moff Gideon in battle. The Armorer explains the origins of the Darksaber. It is a thousand years old and was created by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian Jedi.

    If you been following The Mandalorian, then you're probably aware the blue Mandalorian here is Paz Vizsla, a direct descendant of the creator of the Darksaber and son of Pre Vizsla, the leader of Death Watch--which this Mandalorian convert is an offshoot of. Paz wants to fight Mando for the Darksaber, but ends up losing.

    Night of a thousand tears

    Night of a thousand tears

    One of the moments mentioned during the episode is Mandalore's "Night of a Thousand Tears." This refers to the Siege of Mandalore. The Jedi showed up to get dispose Darth Maul of his rule over the planet. And during this time, Order 66 also happened, which is when Palpatine decided to have all the Jedi killed off. It was a coup in the middle of a siege on a planet that was already going through some tough times.

    At the ring-like space station--which is unlike anything we've seen before in Star Wars--there's a droid directing traffic to get on the commercial transport. If that droid looks familiar, it's because it's the same type as Rex from the Star Tours attraction at Disney theme parks, who can now be found as a DJ in the cantina at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. This is an RX-series pilot droid.

    The return of Peli Motto

    The return of Peli Motto

    Mando returns back to Tatooine, and he's picking up a new ship from Peli Motto, who we've seen in previous episodes of The Mandalorian. This character is played by none other than Amy Sedaris, who you may know from Strangers With Candy or At Home with Amy Sedaris.

    One of the droids helping Mando may be a bit familiar--because this type of boxy robot was in a Star Wars game. In the game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, your partner in crime is BD-1, a BD unit. Here, Mando works with one--not BD-1, mind you. These little droids were made to be assistants to people working out in the world and were made to traverse different types of terrain.

    More familiar droids

    More familiar droids

    There are a few familiar droids here as well. There's an R5 astromech droid, which we've seen throughout the Star Wars movies. Additionally, there's a DUM-series pit droid, which we first saw in Star Wars: Episode 1, which are labor and maintenance droids.

    A classic starfighter

    Peli's big reveal to Mando is none other than a Naboo N-1 Starfighter. The first appearance of this type of ship was in Episode 1, during a time of great prosperity in the galaxy, when people were making some pretty slick-looking ships. When the Empire took over, all that stopped.

    You're a wizard, Ani

    You're a wizard, Ani

    Mando calls the new ship "wizard," which is a reference to Episode 1. One of Anakin's friends calls podracing "so wizard."
