“The E book of Boba Fett” had a significant callback to a deleted scene from “A New Hope” that may be one of many deepest deep lower callbacks in “Star Wars” historical past.

The second episode of “The E book of Boba Fett” confirmed us a quick flashback of Boba Fett’s time with the Tusken Raiders, who work to take down the Pyke Syndicate’s hovertrain on Tatooine.

Through the episode, Boba Fett stops at a small practice station — Tosche Station.

Does Tosche Station sound acquainted? It ought to. It’s the long-lasting location from Luke Skywalker’s whiny line — “However I used to be going into Tosche Station to select up some energy converters!” — from “A New Hope.”

• The station has by no means been featured in “Star Wars” tv or films earlier than. It has been talked about in books, although.

Let’s take it one step additional. George Lucas filmed a scene from Tosche Station for “A New Hope” that was finally lower. The scene included characters akin to Biggs Darklighter, Laze Loneozner, and Camie Marstrap.

• In “The E book of Boba Fett” scene, we see Laze and Camie (performed by new actors after all) at Tosche Station once more, this time being harassed by the Nikto bikers, based on Den of Geek.
• Each of those characters had been solely seen in a deleted scene from 1977.

That is simply one other instance of “The E book of Boba Fett” mixing the previous and the long run collectively, giving us new tales with previous characters and exhibiting us that nobody in “Star Wars” is really ever gone.
