Boba Fett's Trainer Revealed: A Glimpse into the Star Wars Expanded Universe

In the latest season of The Book of Boba Fett, Disney+ has been dropping new episodes every Wednesday, leaving fans eager for more. The show's storyline is a perfect example of the kind of exciting content that the Star Wars Expanded Universe was made for. One of the most intriguing aspects of the series so far has been the introduction of Malakili, the rancor keeper from Return of the Jedi.

Fans were recently treated to a surprise appearance by Danny Trejo as a rancor handler in the episode 'The Streets of Mos Espa'. Trejo's character explained that rancors are actually peaceful creatures unless threatened, and that they form a strong bond with their owner. This raises interesting questions about the nature of Boba Fett's relationship with his iconic ride.

According to Trejo's character, rancors imprint onto the first person they see, forming a lifelong connection. This means that even if a rancor's loyalties currently lie with its handler, it's possible for them to form a bond with someone else. The implications of this are vast, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next episode to see how Boba Fett will navigate his newfound understanding of the rancors.

Trejo's character also revealed that rancors can be trained to do tricks and even allow their owners to ride them. This adds a new layer of depth to the Star Wars universe, highlighting the complex relationships between humans and creatures like the rancor.

The episode has left fans reeling, with many taking to social media to express their excitement and gratitude for the new information. One fan tweeted, 'I will say, THIS now hits a lot harder after Danny Trejo's explanation of rancor personalities and 'imprinting'', accompanied by an image of the tearful rancor keeper.

As fans continue to process this new information, they're left wondering what other surprises are in store for Boba Fett. Will his relationship with Malakili evolve further? And what does the future hold for these fascinating creatures? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - The Book of Boba Fett has once again delivered a thrilling and thought-provoking episode that has left fans hungry for more.
