The latest episode of The Book of Boba Fett<\/a> had more of the series\u2019 trademark Tusken flashbacks \u2013 but that wasn\u2019t the only way it was looking into the past.<\/p>\n Blink and you\u2019d miss it, but there was a very subtle (and exciting) cameo hidden in the second episode for a character who\u2019s never actually appeared in live-action, but has plenty of fans from his time in various Star Wars comics.<\/p>\n Even if you didn\u2019t know his background, you\u2019d be sure to have noticed him onscreen \u2013 he was the Wookiee enforcer hired by the Hutt twins, who Boba (Temuera Morrison) dismissively described as a \u201cgladiator\u201d who wouldn\u2019t intimidate him.<\/p>\n It\u2019s pretty rare to see Wookiees apart from Chewbacca in live-action Star Wars, let alone a Wookiee antagonist, so there\u2019ll be plenty of viewers wondering what his story is.<\/p> And happily, thanks to the comics, we already know. It seems that the Wookiee in question is none other than Black Krrsantan, an ex-gladiator (hence Boba\u2019s jibe) who was cast out by his people and later became one of the most ruthless, vicious bounty hunters out there.<\/p>\n In the comics, he\u2019s hired by Jabba the Hutt a couple of times (leading to a fight with Obi-Wan Kenobi once) which explains why he may have moved on to work with Jabba\u2019s cousins. Intriguingly, he was also hired by Darth Vader at one stage and worked alongside Boba Fett himself, giving the pair a bit of history which could play out onscreen.<\/p>\n It being the comics, Krrsantan (nicknamed Santy, Black K or BK) has run into plenty of main Star Wars characters (including Han Solo and Chewie), so he has a bit more of a pedigree than you might think.<\/p>\n For his fans, it\u2019s certainly exciting to see him in live-action with so close a recreation \u2013 look closely and you can see the markings on his belts match exactly with his on-page appearance. He\u2019s aged a little, but who hasn\u2019t?<\/p>\n the book of boba fett spoilers
