Cad bane, the bounty hunter that not only demanded more from Palpatine, but survived and obtained it. One of my fav characters for sure

[piercepayumo]

Cad Bane: (scoff) "You want something done, you do it yourself."

[CynamminStyx]

Me, who is still rewatching clone wars before I see bad batch: “I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that”

[NvrchFotia]

Almost as huge as his nose. Spot. Thing. The spot where a nose would normally be is big.

[MagnusOrkzyd]

You gotta admit, that is a nice hat he is wearing in Bad Batch.

[justinschultheisz]

If Cad Bane did ever come back in the book of Boba, he would be pushing 70. I would be surprised if he had more cybernetic augmentations to help keep him going in his old age, but who knows, maybe Duros age differently than humans

[ginghinaandrei]

"Cad Bane disgraced as a bountyhunter"

For ending duel in a tie? Against Boba Fett?

Even at that point Boba had quite the reputation.

No shame there.

[jessetheperson]

Honey get the kids. New Eckharts ladder post

[TnMe]

Cad is hardcore like Boba and he definitely will be in the Book of Boba. Seeing him and hearing his iconic voice in live action will be Epic!

[nethanieldawson]

That's how boba Fett got that dent in his helmet.

[Cheesehead_Caleb]

My only complaint is that he didn't have his Trench coat. That thing just kinda completes his look

[meep]

I assume he dies at some point before Empire. Else his exclusion from the 'greatest bounty hunters' gathered to hunt for han solo would need to be explained away.

[JujuInFlames]

Man that would be quite the ending for the book of boba fett, cad bane meets with him, they duel and both kill eachother, the two best bounty hunters in the galaxy taking eachother out, a fitting end

[macwelch]

I’ve taken down so many clones over the years. Once you figure out one, the rest are easy

[andrewrichens]

The real question is whether or not they’re going to have Hunter kill him in a rematch of their stand off, or if they’re going to bring in boba fett to kill him like that unused clone wars reel

[stephenlutz]

Calling it now, Cad Bane vs Fennec Shard in a later episode

[decimation]

If not for the Fetts, Cad Bane would’ve been *THE* best bounty hunter one could hire.

[danielsaxon]

I love Cad Bane, but I feel like the duel between him and Boba should end with his death. It would establish that Boba isn’t just another clone, springboard his career from a bounty hunter new to the scene to a certified badass, and almost be like a passing of the torch of one of the best from one generation to another.

Also, imagine if Palpatine wouldn’t have been such a space racist, the clone army coulda been clones of Cad Bane if Palpatine didn’t need it to be human.

In Trek ships at warp travel through subspace, conceptually similar to hyperspace or slipstream, but there are no lanes. You still have to navigate around gravity wells such as stars and planets, but it's less of a jump and more of a cruise so courses can be adjusted mid stream. A warp trail can generally be tracked. Wait, there ARE hyperspace lanes: Borg transwarp conduits! A warp ship in the SW galaxy would ride the hyperlanes as transwarp and also be better at exploring the unknown regions, though generally slower, I guess. I was under the impression the SW galaxy was smaller than the Milky Way as a trip from Hoth to Lothal would equal Voyager's 70 year journey. But I guess hyperspace is just faster. Or both.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

As far as the hyper drive goes i would refer back to the first time its mentioned by Han, he says "Without precise calculations, we'd fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova, and that would end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?"
I think physical objects have an impact on it, but he could be referring to gravity wells
