"'''Chapter 7: In The Name of Honor'''" is the seventh episode of the American television series ''[[The Book of Boba Fett]]'', following [[Boba Fett]] and [[Fennec Shand]] attempting to gain control of [[Jabba the Hutt]]'s crime empire after his death in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' (1983). The episode is set in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' universe, sharing continuity with ''[[The Mandalorian]]'' and other spin-offs such as ''[[Ahsoka (TV series)|Ahsoka]]''. It was written by [[Jon Favreau]] and directed by [[Robert Rodriguez]].

[[Temuera Morrison]], [[Ming-Na Wen]], and [[Pedro Pascal]] star in the episode as [[Boba Fett]], [[Fennec Shand]], and [[The Mandalorian (character)|Din Djarin / The Mandalorian]] respectively. Filming began in November 2020 and concluded in June 2021.

"Chapter 7: In The Name of Honor" was released on [[Disney+]] on February 9, 2022.

== Plot ==

[[Boba Fett]]'s forces patrol Mos Espa, and [[Cad Bane]] and the Pykes plan to fight Fett. At [[Peli Motto]]'s hangar, [[R2-D2]]'s starfighter lands, bringing [[Grogu]] (wearing [[Din Djarin]]'s chain mail) into her care. Bane and his Pykes confront Fett, [[Fennec Shand]] and Djarin outside the Sanctuary, while the other crime families, having betrayed Fett, attack his soldiers throughout the city. Fett learns from Bane that it was actually the Pykes who killed his [[Tusken raiders|Tusken]] tribe and framed the Nikto gang. After Shand helps the [[cyborg]]s, Fett and Djarin hide but order Shaiz's majordomo to negotiate with the Pykes. Diverting the Pykes' attention, the crime lord and the Mandalorian assault them but are soon outnumbered. Freetown's citizens and the cyborgs arrive to save the two. Two Scorpenek annihilator droids with shields impervious to their weapons attack, routing Fett's forces. Djarin, Grogu, and Fett's rancor destroy the droids, before Bane scares off the rancor. Fett loses a gun duel with Bane but survives by stabbing him with his gaffi stick. Grogu puts the errant rancor to sleep, ending the battle. In Mos Eisley, Shand kills the Pyke boss, the mayor, and the other three crime lords. As Mos Espa praises Fett, Djarin and Grogu fly away in their N-1 starfighter. In a [[mid-credits scene]], [[Cobb Vanth]] heals in the bacta tank at Fett's palace, while the modifier prepares to implement cybernetic enhancements.
