Warning: spoilers follow for The Mandalorian season 2.
The return of Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian was a huge deal, but The Mandalorian season 2 finale saved its biggest surprise for a post-credits scene. As the twin suns of Tatooine shone over Jabba the Hutt’s iconic palace, we watched as legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and his new bounty hunting associate, Fennec Shand, executed Jabba’s former Twi’lek maître d’ Bib Fortuna – and took control of what was once Jabba's criminal empire.
Then came the title cards: “THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT: Coming December 2021”. Has there ever been a cooler way to confirm the existence of a new TV show? Maybe, but not in recent times – and certainly not in such a headline-grabbing way.
The Book of Boba Fett was one of a number of new Star Wars TV shows and movies – including fellow The Mandalorian spin-offs Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic – announced for Disney Plus around the same time.
But while Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy revealed those shows in the more traditional surroundings of a stage at Disney's Investor Day, she saved The Book of Boba Fett for later – at the request of The Mandalorian showrunner Jon Favreau.
“We wanted to hold this back [from Investor Day] because we didn’t want to spoil the surprise during the big Disney announcement,” Favreau told Good Morning America. “They let me keep this one a secret.”
Thankfully, no, it isn't. Although sections of Star Wars fandom speculated that The Book of Boba Fett might be a completely retooled third season of the parent show, shifting the focus from Din Djarin and Baby Yoda to Boba Fett, it’s now been confirmed that the two series are distinct entities.
“[The Book of Boba Fett] is actually separate from The Mandalorian season 3,” Favreau said in his afortmentioned GMA interview.
There have now been several trailers for The Book of Boba Fett. The first, as mentioned, appeared as a post-credits teaser during the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, which smartly sets up the world Boba Fett and Fennec Shand will be operating in.
You can check it out below.
The second (and first main) trailer arrived in November 2021 – almost a year after The Mandalorian season 2 ended – and gives a much more detailed look at what to expect from the show.
In the footage, Fett and Shand have ambitions to rework the hierarchy of Tattooine's seedy underbelly. We hear them claim they'll rule through respect rather than fear, though it looks like all-out war is the more likely consequence of the power vacuum left in the wake of Bib Fortuna's death.
Take a look at the official trailer yourself, below.
Subsequent teasers have since been released by Disney, though they're mostly soundbites from certain sections of the main trailer (titled 'Message', 'Reign' and so on).
When it comes to The Book of Boba Fett, plot specifics were, for a long time, thin on the ground.
“I can't say anything about that, sworn to silence,” executive producer (and director of The Mandalorian season 2 episode 'The Tragedy') Robert Rodriguez told the Nerdy Basement (via Comicbook.com) in September 2021. “I can say it's gonna blow your mind. You saw [Boba Fett] arrive in my episode [of The Mandalorian], that was nothing. I can talk it up all I want because I know it's gonna deliver, I know it's gonna over-deliver.”
Some speculated that Jon Favreau’s December 2020 comments to GMA – confirming that The Mandalorian spin-offs will be set “right after” Return of the Jedi – meant The Book of Boba Fett would kick off in the immediate aftermath of the second Death Star’s destruction. However, it’s more likely that “right after” was just a figure of speech, and Favreau was loosely referring to the time period where The Mandalorian already operates – some five years after the events of Return of the Jedi.
We know, for example, that the famous Jabba’s Palace coda must have taken place after the events of The Mandalorian season 2, because Boba Fett is wearing the iconic armor Mando recovered from Cobb Vanth in Mos Pelgo in The Marshal. Presumably, Fett and Fennec Shand jetted off to Tatooine after Din Djarin handed Grogu over to Luke Skywalker, which ties in nicely with Favreau's comments.
Given that the show focuses on Boba Fett’s efforts to take control of the crime empire Jabba the Hutt left behind, its setting opens up all sorts of possibilities for Fett to interact with characters old and new, good and bad.
Since we now know who many of those characters are (given that the show has aired), we've refrained from divulging them below in an effort to avoid spoilers. So, what follows is a roundup of our predictions for what narrative ground The Book of Boba Fett would cover prior to its release.
It’s not been officially confirmed, but we wouldn’t bet against it. For starters, Boba Fett, Fennec Shand and the Mandalorian himself, Din Djarin, have worked together before and operate in similarly morally ambiguous regions of the Star Wars galaxy, so it’d would be no stretch for them to cross paths again.
Also, at the Disney Investor Day, Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that The Mandalorian, and spin-offs Ahsoka (and the now-seemingly abandoned Rangers of the New Republic) are “interconnected” and “will culminate in a climactic story event”. While The Book of Boba Fett wasn’t included in that announcement, it’s likely its absence was down to the fact the show hadn’t been announced at that point.
It would be weird if Boba Fett and Fennec Shand weren’t involved in such a major crossover, seeing as they’re going about their business in the same part of the Star Wars timeline. We imagine that they'll go off on their own adventure for a while, but that they'll reunite with Din Djarin, Bo-Katan Kryze and other sympathetic characters somewhere down the line. Perhaps they'll be helping Bo-Katan restore her home planet of Mandalore after the Great Purge wiped out most of her people? Or simply trying to stop an Imperial remnant from increasing its influence across the galaxy.
With all of these shows set in the decades between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, we also know that the First Order is secretly on the rise somewhere in the Unknown Regions – presumably they won't take too kindly to a bunch of bounty hunters sniffing around their business.
Unsurprisingly, as mentioned, Temuera Morrison (who'll also appear in Aquaman 2) is back as Boba Fett.
Morrison’s first Star Wars appearance came in Attack of the Clones, where he played Boba Fett’s bounty hunter ‘father’, Jango Fett. Jango was the template for the Clone Troopers who fought for the Old Republic in the Clone Wars. As payment for his genetic material, Jango asked the cloners on Kamino to create Boba, an unmodified version of himself, so he had a son to call his own.
And since the 2004 DVD release of the original trilogy, Morrison also voices Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back. Star Wars creator George Lucas decided to replace lines originally recorded by Jason Wingreen, so there's some continuity there, too.
Morrison’s co-star in The Book of Boba Fett will be Agents of SHIELD/Mulan star Ming-Na Wen, who reprises her role as bounty hunter Fennec Shand. She's also playing the character in animated Clone Wars spin-off The Bad Batch, set over two decades earlier.
Behind the camera, The Mandalorian's brain trust of Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni will executive produce, along with Robert Rodriguez. The Sin City/Alita: Battle Angel director has been brought into the Star Wars fold after helming Fett’s big comeback in The Mandalorian season 2 episode The Tragedy. Morrison confirmed in his Rotten Tomatoes interview that, "they brought Robert [Rodriguez] back to direct a few more. There's some wonderful directors involved.” The identity of said “wonderful directors” is, however, unknown at present.
Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy will executive produce.
