45 years after the originalStar Wars, since retitled toA New Hope, its story was a core aspect inThe Book of Boba Fett- particularly through the official canonization of a previously deleted scene. Despite the mixed reviews it received,The Book of Boba Fettaccomplished a lot forStar Warscanon, especially for the original trilogy. It not only showed how Boba Fett survived the Sarlacc pit, paying homage to a hilarious scene from the sitcomParks & Recin the process, but it also dove deeper into the lore of Tatooine itself.
Fromcanonizing the ancient history of Tatooineto sharing more about its various tribes and communities,The Book of Boba Fettfunctions essentially as a love letter to the originalStar Warstrilogy (andThe Mandalorian). This is further proven by the way it takes an iconic deleted scene fromA New Hopeand makes it officialStar Warscanon. This original scene brings viewers ofA New Hopeto the famed Tosche Station, where we meet some of Luke Skywalker’s childhood friends, Camie and Fixer. While this scene didn’t make the final cut,Star Warsstill revisited it.
The Book Of Boba Fett Secretly Brought Back Luke’s Childhood Friends
And They Were Still At Tosche Station!
InThe Book of Boba Fettepisode 2 “Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine”, Boba Fett ventures out to Tosche Station in search of a Nikto speederbike gang, hoping to use their bikes to help his ownTusken tribetake down thePyke Syndicate’s train.Boba arrives just in time to save a couple who had been tied up in a fight with the gangthat had taken over the station. This couple, played by Mandy Kowalski and Skyler Bible, is credited as none other than Camie and Fixer, Luke’s two friends fromA New Hope’s aforementioned deleted scene.
It Looks Like Camie & Fixer Are Officially Star Wars Canon
Will Their Other Friend Get A Similar Type Of Justice?
This was the perfect subtle way to bring such a beloved deleted scene into the officialStar Warscanon, andThe Book of Boba Fettdid it perfectly. Better yet,it gave them - particularly Fixer - an even better and braver legacy by having him stand up to the speederbike gang, despite the danger it posed for him to do so. In doing so,The Book of Boba Fettwas able to pay tribute to that which came before in a balanced way, not overdoing it while also still honoring these characters and this 45-year-old scene.

Of all the deleted scenes in Star Wars, 10 stand above the rest for how much they could have changed their movies and the entire franchise.
If this was possible for Camie and Fixer after 45 years, then perhaps there’s still hope for another beloved character fromA New Hope: Biggs Darklighter. While the character did make the final cut ofA New Hope, there was more planned for his character in the deleted scenes, and many viewers have been waiting for a long time to see his character regain that proper justice. IfThe Book of Boba Fettaccomplished this with Camie and Fixer 45 years afterA New Hope, then not all hope is lost for Biggs, either.
