Though this time the hint was a little more ambiguous, revealing the survival of a major character who could (presumably) play a part in future projects.<\/p>\n<p>**SPOILERS** follow\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The first hint at this survival comes after the grand battle of Mos Espa, when Fennec (Ming-Na Wen) suggests that her boss might want a session in the bacta tank. But Boba (Temuera Morrison) demurs, noting that the tank was already in use.<\/p> <h2>The Book of Boba Fett end credits scene explained<\/h2>\n<p>Now, fans might have assumed it was Wookiee gladiator Krrsantan in there, as he was promised a bath earlier in the episode. But a few moments later he arrives to meet with Boba outside, suggesting that someone else is getting the treatment instead.<\/p>\n<p>And after the usual selection of concept art, we find out that the person is none other than Timothy Olyphant\u2019s Cobb Vanth, the Marshal of Freetown who was gunned down in the previous episode. While it was heavily implied that Cobb had died at the hands of bounty hunter Cad Bane it was never explicitly confirmed by any character in the episode, and it turns out the Freetowners must have got him to treatment instead.<\/p>\n<p>In the scene, we also get a hint of how Cobb will be fixed up, with the Mod Artist (Stephen \u201cThundercat\u201d Bruner) who previously repaired Fennec\u2019s blasted stomach with droid parts apparently about to start work on him. And who knows? Maybe Cobb could pick up another technological advantage after losing his armour to Boba previously<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1581446\" align=\"\" size-landscape_thumbnail=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Cobb-Vanth-lives-d7e36a3.png?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;The\" book=\"\" of=\"\" boba=\"\" fett=\"\" title=\"&quot;Cobb\" vanth=\"\" lives=\"\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" icon-camera-circle=\"\"\/> Timothy Olyphant as Cobb Vanth in The Book of Boba Fett (Disney)<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"\/><\/div>\n<p>The purpose of the post-credits scene is a little unclear. Is it just to assure us that Cobb Vanth survived, and give him the possibility of a return? Or does the scene\u2019s placement after the credits suggest that it\u2019s more important than that, with Cobb set to play a major role in an upcoming Star Wars project?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s certainly possible that Cobb has a big part to play \u2013 Olyphant is a big star who\u2019s led TV shows before, and Star Wars is always looking for spin-offs \u2013 but if that was the case, why wouldn\u2019t we have heard about it before now? And would they really have ANOTHER series about a gunslinging guy who likes to hang out on Tatooine?<\/p>\n<p>Altogether, this after-credits tease raises more questions than it answers.
