The 2nd episode of “The Book of Boba Fett” premiered yesterday on Disney + and introduced several highlights from the “Star Wars” canon.

One was the introduction of the Hutt twins as opponents of Fett’s (Temuera Morrison) reign as the new crime lord on Tatooine, a title he assumed after Jabba’s death in “The Return of the Jedi ”.

It turns out that Jabba’s twins and cousins decide to claim the former properties of the deceased ruler and threaten Fett by introducing Krrsantan, the Wookie gladiator turned bounty hunter while working for Jabba.

Those who follow the saga know that Jabba had a lot of influence on Tatooine and was a big bad in ‘Star Wars: Return of the Jedi’.

However, the Hutt clan has been little explored in cinema, which could be a great opportunity for the plot of ‘The Book of Boba Fett’.

As the Hutts control many illegal businesses on various planets, it is clear that they will not cede their territory to Boba Fett without a fight.
