Really, can you go wrong with time shenanigans?
Yes. Yes, you definitely can.
Which is what makes them great for story telling!
Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Wow. Now that is some convoluted planning by the GM. Or great improvisation from previous plot threads; the GM has gotten very good at that over the years.
And wait, does this mean that Boba Fett was that maybe-Guavian? I'd figured it was just another rathtar. Also curious now is that the rathtar is meant to be The Rathtar, which would also mean that there can't be two in the later attack. I mean higher numbered comic page. Man, talking about things when something's got Merlin Sickness can be confusing.
Frankly, at this point with all the time related shenanigans, I wouldn't be surprised if Force Timestop shows up again somehow and causes related problems, even if it's only done by comic panel manipulation.

Babu Frik: I embraced the sweet annihilation of oblivion. Release from the cruel jest of my vain being.
Babu Frik: But in the Sarlacc’s belly I found a new definition of pain and suffering as my stasis armour condemned me to endure!
Babu Frik: But the Sarlacc is no mere beast. ’Tis a singular spatio-temporal abomination, known to Fate as Rathtar.
Babu Frik: Slithering not just through space but across time itself... backwards.
Babu Frik: But... while other prey were dragged back to the past, my stasis field anchored me to the present, progressing forwards.
Babu Frik: But!! The Sarlacc’s temporal reversal meant that like it I got younger rather than older as the decades slowly wore on!
Babu Frik: Thus I abided with the agony of nought but my unfulfilled vengeance, my flesh unwinding. My splanch regenerated! I could shapeshift again!
{speaking over a flashback panel to when the Eravana tractor beamed the Millennium Falcon into its docking bay}
Babu Frik: As the beast itself regressed, its stomach shrank until I, indigestible, had to be spat back into the universe.
Babu Frik: Where was I? Rejuvenation had peeled memories from my brain, yet still pitiless Destiny held me bound.
Babu Frik: For there, in some nameless space freighter’s docking bay, fate returned to me in the form of Solo’s accursed ship.
Babu Frik: In that instant one memory seared through the haze. A single, burning truth to give my existence new purpose!
Finn: Convoluted digestion, enhanced youth, renewed zest for life. This isn’t a villain origin story. It’s a yoghurt ad.
