Set in the seedy world of criminal empires, it is no surprise that The Book of Boba Fett is filled with characters who must possess outstanding fighting abilities in order to survive. While the show has plenty of scheming and backstabbing, the conflict between Boba Fett, the other families, and the Pyke Syndicate are ultimately resolved through bloodshed on the battlefield.
Some of the characters in the show, such as the Mods or Tusken Raiders, are limited fighters as individuals but are forces to be reckoned with in larger numbers. But the most skilled warriors are the ones who are versatile and possess a wide range of abilities, such as Fennec Shand.
The Mods
After Boba Fett learns that the biker gang of cybernetically modified individuals are more than just criminals, the Mods become the muscle in his underworld enterprise. While none of them are especially fierce warriors on their own, their collective efforts provide Boba with some much-needed manpower.
The Mods work well together as a unit and can use their speeder bikes and team chemistry to patrol and control areas, proving their worth by chasing down the majordomo and stopping Krrsantan from assassinating Boba. Additionally, their modifications help elevate their fighting skills beyond those of a normal person.
Tusken Raiders
As part of taking Boba Fett in and teaching him their culture, the Tusken Raiders train him in their style of combat, including how to make and use a gaderffii. These skills prove to be valuable in Boba's fight against Cad Bane.
The Tusken Raiders are tough and intelligent fighters. However, their major hindrance is technology. They can hold their own against almost anyone in close-range combat, but they can be overwhelmed by advanced long-range weapons, allowing the Pykes to easily defeat them.
Cobb Vanth
As the primary protector of Freetown, Cobb Vanth has repeatedly proven himself to be a tough and incredibly brave character in Book of Boba Fett. However, despite all of his past accomplishments, meets his match in Cad Bane and nearly pays the ultimate price as a result.
He has shown that he is capable of heroics in the past, but in his limited role in The Book of Boba Fett, Cobb Vanth does not get a lot of opportunities to demonstrate his fighting ability, though the end credits scene may suggest that he will get his chance to shine in the future.
Cad Bane
While viewers who have only seen the live-action Star Wars movies and shows may be unfamiliar with the character, hardcore Star Wars fans know just how ruthless and dangerous Cad Bane can be. By shooting Cobb Vanth, he is able to quickly make his presence known in the series and establish himself as a powerful fighter to be reckoned with.
He is also able to push Boba Fett to the limit, nearly defeating him during the season finale. Cool, confident, and intimidating, Cad Bane is a quick draw who is capable of taking on just about anyone in a one-on-one duel.
The Rancor
Despite its fierce reputation, fans have rarely gotten to actually see the rancor show his full capabilities in live-action. When the rancor shows up during the battle, he turns the tides of the fight and helps take down the scorpenek annihilator droids.
However, while the rancor is a powerful game-changer, Cad Bane is able to best the beast with his flamethrower, turning him into a liability on the battlefield. Its size and raw power make it dangerous, but its weaknesses and unpredictability negate some of its usefulness as a fighter.
Grogu
While The Mandalorian has shown that Grogu has some Force abilities, his skills only increase as he spends some time training as a Padawan under Luke Skywalker. He gains greater control and is able to help out during the final battle by contributing to taking down one of the scorpenek annihilator droids.
He also takes on the rancor by himself and is able to use the Force to put the creature to sleep. While he is still growing and developing his abilities, he is already becoming a powerful Force who can affect a battle despite his tiny size.
Boba Fett
Over the course of the series, Boba Fett spends plenty of time recovering from his injuries in his bacta tank. While the wear and tear he has experienced does slow him down a step or two, he proves that he is still a great fighter as he builds his crime family and takes on the Pyke Syndicate.
He is a versatile fighter who is more than capable of winning a battle while piloting his ship, riding the rancor, firing his blasters from a distance, or using the gaderffii in close combat. Although he is not quite as spry as he used to be, he is still able to defeat Cad Bane and lead his forces to victory.
Krrsantan
After making his debut in the comics, Wookie bounty hunter Krrsantan initially shows up in the series as an antagonist who proves his ability by nearly assassinating Boba Fett. Once he s sides with Boba Fett, he becomes a valuable asset who is as strong as anyone in a one-on-one fight.
In the series, Krrsantan is only ever defeated when he is outnumbered by his enemies. His enormous size and strength make him nearly impossible to take down in a fair fight and make him one of the most capable fighters in the show.
Fennec Shand
As Boba Fett's right hand, Fennec Shand is intimately involved with every step of the process of building the family and often serves as the enforcer. While everyone else fights the battle on the streets in the finale, it is Fennec who is able to slip away and take out all of the important of the Pyke Syndicate.
In addition to being a solid combatant in a straight-up fight, her intelligence and experience as an assassin make her a lethal fighter who can pick off her enemies before they even realize that she is there.
Din Djarin
Since his introduction, Din Djarin has continued to gain experience and tools that have helped him become an increasingly effective fighter. Now wielding the Darksaber, he has become a powerful warrior and his contributions help Boba Fett defeat the Pyke Syndicate.
As he learns to better use the Darksaber, his fighting ability is only going to continue to grow. Few other characters can match his durable beskar armor, unique Darksaber, and his wide arsenal of ranged weapons. These tools, combined with his intense training, make him the most capable fighter in the series.
