No lightspeed capabilities. For a few moments, Boba is shocked silent by the revelation. If the Jedi is right, that means Tatooine could be just one star over and there'd still be no way he could reach it in time. Boba might be clever and he might be good in a fight, but he can't build a hyperspace drive from scratch. For the first time in a long time, he's run up against an obstacle that he can't overcome, and that means it's over. Either he's stuck here forever or he gets sent back to Tatooine having lost everything—

—unless the Jedi was telling the truth earlier. Unless, by some miracle, he can return without having lost any time at all. It still sounds impossible, of course. But it should've been impossible for him to show up here in the first place, shouldn't it? Why not believe in another impossibility on top of it?

Because the Jedi has reason to lie. Because you have reason to want to believe him.

Lie or not: his fate for the time being is entirely out of his hands.

"What am I supposed to do, then?" Boba mutters. It sounds more like he's talking to himself than the Jedi. "Just wait?"
