What Tusken Raiders Look Like Under The Mask! (The Book Of Boba Fett) | Star Wars Explained

In this Star Wars update, we look at The Tusken Raiders from the Book of Boba Fett and what they look like unmasked. We discuss when Tatooine had oceans, Jawas, the history in Star Wars Legends and how it may connect to a Star Wars theory relating to the female Tusken that Boba has learned to use a Gaffi Stick from. Could we see an unmasked Tusken in the Mandalorian spin-off by Robert Rodriguez and Jon Favreau? We also explore George Lucas and some of the secrets he wanted to keep unknown that only Dave Filoni and a select few at Lucasfilm know about – where the Yoda species comes from (Grogu, Yoda and Yaddle), and what Jawas and Tuskens look like underneath. Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen have been promoting the show recently and revealed big characters and villains are still to come. Black Krrrsantan and The Twins (The Hutts) appeared in Chapter 2 ‘The Tribes of Tatooine’ and Chapter 3 is only two days away from dropping on Disney+.

hello my dear friends and welcome back

to another video the tuscan readers are

back and have so far played a

significant role in boba fett’s story

after his escape from the sarlacc pit

john favreau seems to love these guys

having written them into the

mandalorian’s first two seasons and now

the book of boba fett the biggest

difference between previous depictions

of tuscans and how these shows are

portraying them is that they’re finally

being humanized and depicted in a much

better light not only are they capable

of complex emotions and social

structures but they also have

established their own style of combat

and most surprisingly they have a

profound ancestral spirituality which

with it comes ritualistic ceremonies we

vaguely knew from the games and visual

dictionaries that toscans had mystical

connections to nature but we didn’t know

the true extent of their spirituality

until the book of boba fett showed us in

this series we’re truly learning new

things about them all the time and with

every passing episode the lore

surrounding them expands but the

resurgence of the toscans in the book of

boba fett has fans once again asking the

question we’ve all been curious about

since the franchise was born what do

tuscans look like under the mask and

perhaps an even better question which

i’m going to save to the end of the

video is could we see what an unmasked

tuscan looks like for ourselves in the

book of boba fett but with regards to

the first question to understand what

toscans look like beneath the mask we

need to go back to a time when tatooine

was covered in oceans until chapter 2 of

the book of boba this information was

legends but the tuscan chief informs

boba over time before the oceans of

tatooine dried up tatooine was once a

lush world that had large oceans and a

world-spanning jungle inhabited by the

native kumunga this species is the

evolutionary ancestor to both tuscans

and jawas the kumunga were

technologically advanced and colonized

nearby star systems which unfortunately

drew the attention of an amphibian-like

race known as the rakata the rakata also

known as the builders used dark side

fuel technologies like the force powered

hyperdrive and their empire the infinite

empire dominated known space for

thousands of years in

25793 bby the recarton infinite empire

invaded tatooine enslaved its native

inhabitants and abducted many of them

and moved them to their other conquered

worlds after a terrible plague weakens

the rakata the kumunga eventually

rebelled and managed to drive the rakata

of the planet in response the ricarta

subjected the planet to an orbital

bombardment which unfortunately glassed

the planet in other words it fused the

silicone the soil into glass which then

broke up over time into sand this

process boiled away tatooine’s precious

oceans over time this change split the

indigenous kamunga into two races the

golfers which we know as the tuscan

raiders and the jawas so both races have

the same evolutionary ancestor the sun

people began wearing mouth grills and

eye coverings to retain moisture and

keep the sand out and they also had a

filter to help facilitate breathing in

the desert climate but their need to

protect their bodies from tatooine’s

weather developed into a taboo against

exposing any part of the body in public

because of this the toscans almost never

unmasked themselves even in front of one

another they were forbidden to remove

their clothing in front of others except

at childbirth on their wedding nights

and at coming of age ceremonies in

addition no outsider is known to have

seen behind a tuscan’s mask and lived

it’s a coat that is not broken due to

tatooine’s harsh climate for the sake of

survival and protection toscan raiders

were very hostile to outsiders and even

other locals of the planet so there was

no way they would ever allow for

vulnerability and that is how removing

one’s mask is perceived but underneath

to definitively answer the question the

tuscans probably still resemble the

kamunga something between an ape-like

creature and a weak way in any case my

dear friends this is a mystery i doubt

we’ll ever get an answer to because it

treads on george lucas’s legacy of

keeping certain things a secret he made

it clear that there are some things in

star wars that are best left to the

imagination that should not be revealed

and this includes yoda’s home planet and

species name and i can imagine unveiling

a jawa or a tuscan would be on that list

as well but i can think of one exception

where maybe it could happen and it all

surrounds the female tuscan chieftain in

the book of boba fetts she’s been set up

in the first two episodes of the book of

boba fett as a very significant figure

in boba’s life post-salak having trained

him in the art of the gaffy stick

embraced him into their culture and

having been a big part of that period of

his life i think she might be important

later on in the series in the current

day timeline and not in flashbacks a

theory that i came across which is worth

highlighting is that she might risk her

life for boba fett and be left severely

injured it could be at this point that

he lifts up her damaged face plate and

we get our first reveal of what tuscans

actually look like it’s just a theory

but i’m not sure it’s a good idea to

reveal such a mystery and i don’t even

think i want to know what they look like

underneath some things in star wars are

best left unanswered so far in the story

i’ve loved the tuscan subplot it deepens

boba fett’s character he’s learnt a lot

through them and they’re kind of like

his new mentors in the process robert

rodriguez john favreau and the amazing

folks who work on this show have

inadvertently expanded star wars laura

by giving us a different take on the

tuscan raiders the mandalorian season 2

helped us to get to know them a little

bit better but this series has given us

a reason to care about them as the

series progresses we are probably going

to get a bit more tuscan raider

flashbacks but as i say near the end of

the show or at least the first season we

are probably going to get a big payoff

with them coming into boba’s story in

the current day they might prove to be a

valuable ally and i can imagine them

being his army if he goes up against

some of the big crime syndicates we saw

this with the pikes but what if black

sun or crimson dawn come in boba fett is

going to need some help and he might get

it from other bounty hunters like bosk

or dengar but i think the tuscans

ultimately are going to be the stars of

this show and in a way their possible

importance adds to the notion that i

kind of hope we don’t see what they look

like yes it’s a curiosity but i think

it’s one that should be left to the

imagination and not shown flat out we

know that dave filoni respects george

lucas’s legacy and i just can’t imagine

him approving of them showing us what

tuscans look like it’s the same thing

with grosgu and the yoda species

generally we’re probably never gonna

find out what they’re called nor are we

gonna find out where they originally

come from as i say it’s a fandom

curiosity but it is something that has

to be left unsaid especially if they

want to respect his wishes we’ve seen

him present on the mandalorian sets and

i think he’s happy with grogu but i

can’t imagine him ever wanting them to

spill the beans on what grogu and yoda’s

species is called but you never know we

just have to wait and see what’s in

store for us in future seasons and

series but that my friends brings us to

the end of this video if you enjoyed

this one please be sure to give me a big

fat thumbs up let me know your thoughts

in the comments down below what do you

think tuscans look like underneath and
