Book of Boba Fett trailer.

She's certainly dressed differently from the female Tusken Raiders we saw in AOTC, but that could be explained by different Tusken tribes having different traditions and customs regarding apparel.

Or better yet, by pretending that AOTC does not exist.

Yes, that subject matter is mentioned of many different tribes existing (and like you said, having different customs and traditions). Seems like in most tribes that we have seen, females are caregivers and not fighters (going by movies and other media), but in this particular one that Boba Fett landed on, females are warriors too.

it is really cool to see more of the Tusken lifestyle and learn something about them instead of them just being cool looking background characters. it would be neat to see what they look like under the wrappings

…yet nobody is ever going to recognize them.

To me that’s a great thing. I’d hate to be famous. You essentially lose your freedom in public.

Imagine if you were Leonardo DiCaprio. You think you can shop at the local supermarket in peace?

Paparazzi, fans, stalkers, random people staring at you over and over…screw that…

While the money is great, fame is not…my humble opinion of course.

I’d rather be an unknown rich guy than a famous one.

I had no idea that character was female. But I was saying the other day how I feel bad for the actors who are getting their big break playing Tusken Raiders... yet nobody is ever going to recognize them. We haven't even been given character names.

The woman playing the female Tusken Raider is a professional stuntwoman.

Look at her extensive resume:

She’s exceptional at her craft and highly successful. Not everyone has to be an actor to be successful in the movie/television industry.

The female Tusken is a cool character for sure (and yes, I knew she was female too). At first, I was kind of wondering if they wouldn't reveal she was Fennec hiding out with Tuskens, and this is how they knew each other before Mando. Doesn't look like they are going there now though.

For the bigger Star Wars fans: Are we looking at the Tusken's actual faces? I assume they have wrappings and apparatus to survive the harsh desert climate. If that's NOT their actual faces, what do they look like beneath?

I assume they are wrappings and apparatus. They don’t look organic. Remember how they wrapped and clothed Boba Fett? So they seem to have a ritual of attire. If would be so cool if they all unmasked and they all turned out to be super good looking….

how do you know that is a female Tusken? i did not pick up on that at all

Yup, she’s female. It’s so obvious. Look at her body. Super thin waist and you get glimpses of her hourglass body (she’s shorter than the males too). Plus the long dreads are another indicator…

Would be kinda weird if all Tusken Raiders were male. I’m sure they reproduce…

I came to that conclusion myself. But after reading of your surprise, I searched, and found these articles…

https://screenrant.com/boba-fett-female-tusken-raider-mystery-character-theory/

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unidentified_Tusken_warrior

So looks like I’m not the only one who thinks she’s a female…



P.S. Confirmation. Yup, she’s played by stuntwoman Joanna Bennett, who has done stunts for both Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel…

Yeah I wasn't getting that vibe either, cool if it is of course.

[Hector]

Yes, all of this.

If somebody asked me back in the day, "hey, how would you like to see Boba Fett and a band of Tuscan Raiders fight some fish people in the desert on a land-speeder-train?" I would have said, "sign me up."

Me too…

I friggin love the female Tusken Raider, she’s such a baddass!!!

My only thought was...did Jabba really sit his big sluggy butt on that little throne? LOL!

Don't think it's the original. I think Bib had a special version made for himself.
