Star Wars Every Upcoming TV & Film: Everything We Know

The Mandalorian Season 2 audiences were pleasantly surprised by the scene stealing inclusion of bounty hunter Boba Fett. Despite his cool appearance, the character didn’t really have much of a chance to shine in the Original Trilogy, as he mostly just stands there in Empire Strikes Back and falls into the Sarlacc Pit because of a blind man in Return of the Jedi. The Mandalorian recently remedied this, solidifying Boba Fett as a fan favourite for good.

Fortunately, fans will be seeing a lot more of Boba Fett in his own spinoff series, The Book of Boba Fett. The Disney+ show was not announced with the other Star Wars projects at Disney’s Investor Day presentation, but shocked audiences with a surprise reveal in the post credits scene of the final episode of the Mandalorian Season 2.

Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, who worked together on The Mandalorian, as well as Robert Rodriguez, who directed Boba’s biggest episode in The Mandalorian, will serve as executive producers on the series. Boba Fett actor Temuera Morrison is also expected to reprise his role as Boba Fett (it's hard to do the show without him), and Ming-Na Wen will again appear as Fennec Shand.

The series will be set in the same timeframe as The Mandalorian and a few other upcoming shows, so Din Djarin and Boba Fett could cross paths again. For more information on The Book of Boba Fett, give this article a read.
