Yeah, there was a faint mention of recognition when he referred to him as a gladiator. Also, they shared a look at the end of that scene that, to me, signaled some sort of familiarity with one another.
I know Crimson Reign just started, but has there been any speculation or leaks as to what/who the Hidden Empire storyline will revolve around? @drunkwooky
Just a series title so far.
Iād guess that itās either Crimson Dawn of the Sith Eternal cult. Just wild baseless speculation there though. This is the first time Iām actually thinking about it as well.
I agree with @Awakeintheashes and @Devildog .
They probably could act more familiar with each other, but the reference to his Gladiator pit fighting days and how he got off a cheap shot on a sleeping Trandoshian implies Boba Fett is familiar with Black K.

He knows him. You can tell by the gladiator comment, how he wasnāt phased by his presence, and when he let him go at the end of E3. He knows who heās dealing with. And then he hires him. Who would hire him and be able to trust him after he tried to kill him then ripped off someoneās arm? And why would BK trust Boba?
Simple. They have worked together before. This aināt their first rodeo.

Fennec mentioned at the end of the episode about with enough credits you can hire muscles for the impending war with the pykes. So who do we think is the next surprise guest?
Din Djarin? Seems out of character for him to join a war at this point.
What about the bad batch? There is a connection here with Fennec. And the leaks earlier elude to Rex and echo making an appearance in episode 5, however the reader of that leak is not tracking well. I donāt see qāira or crimson dawn coming into play.
Or are we talking about more bounty hunters?
Thoughts?

Iām hoping the band back gets together from Empire Strikes Back with Bossk, IG-88, Dengar, Zuckuss and 4-LOM and they get into a Magnificent Seven style showdown with the Pykes. Iām talking the original Magnificent Seven with Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen, not the Denzel, Star Lord, and Kingpin version.

As I recall, the Pike Syndicate does have an arrangement with the Crimson Dawn so they certainly could still be involved.
That leak mentioned Bossk and he could end up another player as they have definitely introduced us to the Trandoshans.
The leak has actually panned out fairly well thus farā¦ especially with regards to BK and the initial hostility and then cooperation. I guess the next episode will be the true signal. I canāt see them introducing all of those players if they donāt start with the next episode.
How many episodes are left 4 ? A lot to cram in there with Bossk, Cad, Dragon Queen, Rex if the spoiler is true.
First 4 episodes deal a lot with the Tusken Raiders and was no mention of that in the spoilers.

7 episodes. So 3 left.
I wouldnāt expect to see much at all of Qiāraā¦I could literally see the whole series ending with just a cameo of her. Something along the lines of just a Thrawn name drop in Mandalorian. Sheās pretty high up on the food chain.
The others wonāt be hard to introduce. While they are well known, they donāt need any development and can just be used as fodder/fan service. The fans will gush for either Bossk or Bane even if they show for a brief moment.
They can sell a ton more action figures by doing so!

Does seem out of character, but his theme was playing at the end of the episode before the credits, so maybe they pay him a visit.
My guess is some more familiar bounty hunter faces from the movies and comics.
Knowing Lucasā fond of Kurosawa films, I can see that happening. The original film was Seven Samurai.
Such a good film. Hidden Fortress is an awesome watch for any SW fan.

I worked in the AV Library in college and watched all of his films. Wish I could still get paid for that!
