The Mandalorian season 2 postcredits scene sees the pair taking over Jabba's former palace on Tatooine, suggesting that Boba is setting himself up as a crime lord on the galaxy's Outer Rim. Whether seizing power on Tatooine is Boba's end goal or a step in a grander plan is unclear. Even though he's a clone of Mandalorian foundling Jango Fett, he doesn't claim that heritage and likely isn't too bothered about Bo-Katan Kryze's effort to retake Mandalore from the Imperial Remnant.
He could be trying to set himself up like Darth Maul did decades before in The Clone Wars , by building a criminal empire. Entertain your brain with the coolest news from streaming to superheroes, memes to video games. It'll premiere on Disney Plus on Wednesday, Dec. The company hasn't revealed how many episodes we're getting. Yes, the first trailer dropped Nov. It looks at the character's real-world origins, through new archival footage and interviews with cast, crew and Lucasfilm staff.
We don't get any new details about The Book of Boba Fett, but is a delightful minute watch that'll make you appreciate this bounty hunter even more. It's confusing because Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy slipped into Disney's announcement-heavy investors call that season 3 of The Mandalorian should arrive by Christmas , the same time as The Book of Boba Fett. The framing is wonderful, with Fett even hurtling through the background as Luke takes on a bunch of guards on another floating vessel.
The Sarlacc then burps, to underscore the absurdity of the moment. He is an action figure. Indeed, Bulloch was handed his own action figure before he even began filming The Empire Strikes Back. Once Fett is actually asked to do anything more than pose menacingly, it all falls apart.
Boba is revealed to be a clone of his bounty hunter father Jango Fett Temuera Morrison. Jango is also revealed to be the genetic template for the mass-produced clone troopers, the predecessors of the stormtroopers, possibly the worst army in science fiction. There is nothing unique about Boba. More to the point, Lucas doubles down on the grim punchline from Return of the Jedi.
Having spent a significant stretch of Attack of the Clones promising to pay off decades of expectations involving Jango Fett, the character is thrown into the fray during the Battle of Geonosis.
On some level, Star Wars fans intrinsically understand this. Indeed, the starting premise of The Mandalorian is rooted in the understanding that Boba Fett looks cool , and that iconography can be ported to a new character. Fett was — and remains — a breakout character in a franchise full of breakout characters. The expanded universe revealed Boba Fett survived being swallowed by the Sarlacc and went on to have a series of badass bounty hunter adventures.
Inevitably, the Star Wars canon has moved towards this fan fantasy of Boba Fett as a hypercompetent badass. Daniel Logan reprised his role as the young Boba Fett in the animated series The Clone Wars , which offered a much more impressive take on the iconic bounty hunter.
The production team had even planned further arcs for the character. In Disney canon, the bounty hunter has found a new throne to sit on, and this one seems to really suit him.
