* BackAlleyDoctor: What the Mod Parlor surgeon amounts to. Although perfectly capable of installing life-saving cybernetics, he normally caters to the Modder cyborgs subculture, and is treated more like a tattoo/piercing artist. Although at first refusing his services without an appointment, Boba Fett pays him handsomely to change his mind. Boba admits this was the best he could do under the circumstances, pressed for time, acknowledging that this was a shady surgeon, but he got the job done and did save Fennec's life.

* EntertaininglyWrong: Boba had thought for years that his armor stayed in the Sarlacc, and thus comes back to the beast to reclaim it (the armor is made of beskar, one of the rare few things it couldn't digest). The armor was in fact stolen by Jawas shortly after he emerged from the pit, but since at the time he was likely delirious from the ordeal (not to mention getting a concussion thanks to said Jawas), it is no surprise that his memories would be jumbled. He also believed to have killed the Sarlacc by firing his flamethrower inside it, but apparently all it did was give it a stomach burn.

* MetaphoricallyTrue: When Fennec expresses her disbelief that her rescuer is Boba Fett, stating that the legendary BountyHunter is supposed to be dead, Boba replies that he ''was'' dead. For him, the old Boba died when he fell into the Sarlacc pit. Even though he escaped the Pit of Carkoon, he didn't want to resume the old life anymore. Instead, he plans to build a new kind of community on Tatooine, one inspired by his adopted Tusken family.

* MouthCam: When Boba returns to the Sarlacc Pit aboard his ship ''Slave I'', we get a shot from the inside of the pit, framed by the jagged "teeth" of the Sarlacc.

* TriumphantReprise: When Boba and Fennec succeed in liberating ''Slave I'' from Fortuna's palace, a segment of the title music's male choral melody is played in a triumphant crescendo as it emerges from the hangar. As they leisurely cruise with their newfound freedom from the ground, a softer lighter reprise plays as well. Moments later, the most heavy-pounding reprise yet of the "Brutal Boba" leitmotif plays as he mercilessly guns down the Kintan Strider swoop gang from the impunity of his newly reacquired gunship.

** After stealing back his ship, the first thing Boba does after some repairs is to use the ship to gun down the Kintan Striders, the swoop gang that massacred his adoptive Sand People tribe as revenge. The raiders are powerless as Boba massacres them with the gunship's [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill starfighter-grade weapons]] in one pass, a brutal, stiff-lipped expression on his face the whole time.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Krrsantan instigates a bar brawl with some Trandoshan gamblers at the Sanctuary. Everyone looks on in horror and amazement as Krrsantan thrashes them. As he's about to rip the arm off of the last one, Garsa makes an eloquent plea for Krrsantan to put the poor guy down. He rips the guy's arm off instead, pays his tab and leaves... and then Garsa just tells the band to continue playing and everyone's back to revelry.

** Fennec is actually no longer in debt to Boba; he declared her debt to him paid when she helped him recover his ship, and asked where she'd like to be dropped off so he could give her a ride. Fennec is now serving Boba of her own choice (whereas "The Tragedy" led us to believe she was in a debt for life).

Moved the Sarlacc death away from Karmic Death to Death By Irony, Karmic death is for people, the Sarlacc is just an animal doing what any living thing does.


* DeathByIrony: The Sarlacc had spent years eating people. It's killed when Fennec drops a seismic charge in its mouth, which it swallows whole and is killed by when it goes off.



* KarmicDeath:
** The Sarlacc had spent untold years eating helpless souls who were doomed to a long, agonizing death in its stomach. It's finally killed when Fennec drops a seismic charge in its mouth, which it swallows whole and is killed by when it goes off.
** The reveal that the Kintan Striders were under the employment of Bib Fortuna, and thus him being the one responsible for the Tuskens being massacred, makes his death this trope retroactively.
