Every great story has to start somewhere and this story starts where Bobba is captured by the Sand people in his past memories and somehow he becomes a crime lord in his present life
The episode starts in the Halls of Jabba’s palace and depicts that it is no longer thriving like the same it used to be. The halls are empty and there we see our armored hero in a Bacta tank with a tube in his mouth similar to how we saw Luke when he was recovering during The Empire Strikes Back.
