About

Like A Bantha refers to a scene from the second episode of the Star Wars series The Book of Boba Fett where Boba Fett (played by Temuera Morrison) tries to teach a group of Tusken Raiders how to ride a speeder bike, comparing driving it to riding a bantha to relate to them. The episode containing the scene premiered on Disney+ on January 5th, 2022, and inspired comedic video edits that month.

Origin

On January 5th, 2022, the second episode of The Book of Boba Fett premiered on Disney+. At one point in the episode, Boba Fett, played by Temuera Morrison, teaches a group of Tusken raiders how to ride a speeder bike, but they do not seem to grasp the concept at first. Fett then compares riding a speeder to a bantha, a beast resembling a large ox, but it doesn't work and he gets off the bike (shown below).[1] Eventually, he teaches them how to ride the bikes later on.
