#The Book Of Boba Fett Just Explained What Happened After Jabba’s Death

In the show’s present-day, “The Streets of Mos Espa” saw Boba’s palace droid 8D8 bring him (and those watching at home) up to speed on what happened after Jabba’s sail barge mishap left a massive power vacuum on Tatooine, and, more specifically, Mos Espa. With no one around to stop them, the Trandoshans took over the city’s center (which accounts for why we keep seeing them leering at Boba when he and Fennec Shand make their way into town), the Aqualish seized the Worker’s District, and the Katooinians assumed control over the starport and upper sprawl.

As for Bib Fortuna? He did what any scheming ex-lackey would do: He lined the pockets of those around him to secure their alliances, including that of Mos Espa’s mayor Mok Shaiz. This also retroactively explains why Shaiz would send his own majordomo to meet Boba, under the expectation that he would follow Bib’s lead and continue to bribe him with tributes to keep his loyalty. Boba, on the other hand, has other ideas about how he intends to rule, and his actions only look to further stir things up in the series’ next four episodes. But then again, this wouldn’t be a “Star Wars” TV show if everyone just chilled and Boba kept the status quo going, would it?

“The Book of Boba Fett” episode 3 is now streaming on Disney+.
