Sure, we saw lead characters Boba and Fennec (Temeura Morrison and Ming-Na Wen) in The Mandalorian season 2, and certain flashbacks in The Book of Boba Fett help tee up their appearance in the earlier series, but generally speaking Boba\u2019s ploughing his own furrow now.<\/p>\n<p>Still, there was bound to be some overlap eventually \u2013 and in The Book of Boba Fett episode 3, there was finally a subtle Easter egg including elements of The Mandalorian\u2019s world.<\/p> <p>It\u2019s a real blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it moment. During a flashback, as Boba rides a Bantha into the Tattooine city of Mos Eisley he sees a collection of battered Stormtrooper helmets impaled on spikes.<\/p>\n<p>This same tableau features as set dressing used in The Mandalorian \u2013 in fact, it was one of the first images released from that series \u2013 and would have been a fun Easter egg standing alone.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s just part of the callback here. Behind the helmets, you can just about spot a curly-haired woman walking along followed by the accident-prone pit droids (with their lamp-like heads and small, spindly bodies) that first appeared in The Phantom Menace.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear this woman is meant to represent Peli Motto, the mechanic played by Amy Sedaris who has appeared in multiple episodes of The Mandalorian (and lives in Mos Eisley).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">\/\/ tbobf book of boba fett spoilers<br\/>\u2022<br\/>\u2022<br\/>\u2022<br\/>book of boba fett \/ the mandalorian <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/t.co\/K5dYGr3zDP&quot;\">pic.twitter.com\/K5dYGr3zDP<\/a><\/p>\u2014 tea (@C4STAMERE) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/C4STAMERE\/status\/1481182400625491971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">January 12, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/><p>Look, it\u2019s not exactly the massive cameo fans might have been hoping for, but it\u2019s a sign that the connective tissue between the various Disney Plus Star Wars series is definitely working.<\/p>\n<p>And who knows?
