How did Boba Fett survive the Sarlacc Pit inReturn of the Jedi? What has Boba Fett been doing on Tattooine for the last 9 years? These questions and more will hopefully be answered in the upcoming Boba Fett series which was announced during theepic post-credits scene of The Mandalorian season 2 finale.
Jon Favreau has confirmed thatThe Book of Boba Fettwill be separate fromThe Mandalorianseason 3. After the surprise announcement of the new show featuring the iconic bounty hunter, there was some confusion as to how it will work with Din Djarin’s show, especially since it was revealed that it will premiere on Disney+ in December of next year, which is when many assumed thatThe Mandalorianseason 3 was going to premiere.
The Book of Boba Fett is a standalone Star Wars seriesthat was not announced during Disney’s avalanche ofStar Warsprojects that were announced a few weeks ago. “We wanted to hold this back because we didn’t want to spoil the surprise during the big Disney announcement for all the shows… and so they let me keep this one a secret,” Jon Favreau said.The Book of Boba Fettis filming right now, confirmed the director. The show is able to use the same “virtual production” thatThe Mandalorianuses, which the crew has dubbed the Volume.
AsJon Favreau talked about The Mandalorian season 2 finalehe went on to say, “This [The Book of Boba Fett] is actually separate fromThe Mandalorian season 3, and then we go into production after that with season 3 ofThe Mandalorian, with the main character that we all have known and loved (played by Pedro Pascal).“Star Warsfans were shocked to see the return of Fett in the live-action series and have been wondering about his future ever since. Many assumed that he was dead after a blinded Han Solo comically killed him inReturn of the Jedi, though there have been many stories written about the character over the years that are technically not canon anymore.
The Book of Boba Fettis set within the timeline ofThe Mandalorianand it stars Temuera Morrison as the bounty hunterBoba Fett, along with Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand. Robert Rodriguez, who directed Chapter 14 of season 2, the installment that reintroduced Fett toStar Warsfans, joins Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni as an executive producer. As for whether or not there will be flashbacks, that is unclear, but many would like to see how the character survived his Sarlacc pit adventure.
The MandalorianandThe Book of Boba Fettare not the only live-actionStar Warsshows that Disney+ has planned. Jon Favreau says that Dave Filoni is currently working onAhsoka, which stars Rosario Dawson as Anakin Skywalker’s grownup padawan, Ahsoka Tano, who is a fan-favorite.Rangers of the New Republicis also on the way and is apparently set in the same timeline as the three aforementioned shows.
