10 Star Wars Shows That NEED To Happen

5. Boba Fett: a revenge story

Okay, if we can't get the Jango Fett one, we at least need to know more about the original trilogy's favourite bounty hunter, Boba Fett! He has a huge cult following in the Star Wars fandom, but when you actually look at his on-screen presence, it is very limited.

From the films, we know of Boba's life at two points in his life: when he is boy about to lose his father in combat, and when he is a fully fledged killer. There is so much time in between these points in his life for a potential show to explore that it is almost unbelievable to think that we haven't got one yet!

To see him grow from the small orphan abandoned on Geonosis, learn the tricks and skills of bounty hunting, and become the calm and collected legend we see in Empire Strikes Back would finally give more life to the fan-favourite character, and provide another unique perspective to the events transpiring across the galaxy in that time.

How the young Boba dealt with his father's death and how it pushed him to follow in his mercenary footsteps would make for incredible viewing, and what he did in response to the collapse of the Republic could potentially produce an even wilder second season. But we're getting ahead of ourselves...
