Also canonically (at least before Disney acquired Star Wars) when he fell into the pit in ROTJ it was his THIRD time in the pit! So he had fallen in, gotten out, fallen in at a later incident, gotten out, and then fallen in the third time on screen and gotten out (off-screen). In a massive galaxy with millions of planets and stuff what kind of shit luck or coincidence would you need for that to happen?
While I didn’t watch the later season of the Mandalorian or the Book of Boba Fett, I did see a part where some scattered pieces of the Sarlacc were all over the desert, meaning he wanted to make sure he never fell in again by blowing the shit out of the Sarlacc. Smart move, I wanted to see that when I was a kid since the Sarlacc really did frighten me as a kid.
Wait what??? I’ve found 3 different versions of how he got out during ROTJ, depending on material. Never heard of him getting out of a sarlacc more than once tho.
I guess the real question is how well known is this escape method? Obviously not everyone eaten by a sarlacc was a disarmed prisoner. So like is Boba just the first one to try?
Apparently his jet pack explodes as well as the grenades. So maybe that extra boom is required??
So like there’s effectively 3 versions of him escaping.
He’s just spat out for no explained reason (Star Wars magazine 1983)
He uses telepathy with the other trapped souls, his jet pack explodes plus he uses grenades to escape. (Legends)
BOBF he steals a convenient stormtroopers O2 and cuts/burns his way out, no grenades (I didn’t watch the show tbh). He loses his helmet through this process somehow tho.
IMO Boba’s escape precludes the sarlacc from being able to contain a sith lord.
All canon/noncanon stories essentially have Boba blowing his way out with thermal detonators and/or subsequently being spat out.
I feel like the only reason that method of escape wouldn’t be common knowledge is because of how rare sarlaccs are to begin with.

@Canconda @mushroommunk Also probably how infrequently people are thrown in WITH thermal detonators :P

Why don’t the explosions kill him
Bruh 100%. I’m guessing his armour?
