THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT, A NEW SERIES, COMING DECEMBER 2021 ON DISNEY+. THE LEGEND WILL RETURN NEXT YEAR.
Boba Fett is back. And his story is just beginning.
As teased in a surprise end-credit sequence following the season finale of The Mandalorian, the legendary bounty hunter’s journey will continue in The Book of Boba Fett. Jon Favreau, executive producer of The Mandalorian, confirmed today on Good Morning America that the new series is currently in production and will arrive December 2021, only on Disney+.
The Book of Boba Fett will be set within the timeline of The Mandalorian and star Temuera Morrison as the titular bounty hunter, along with Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand. Robert Rodriguez — who directed Chapter 14 of The Mandalorian, a thrilling installment that reintroduced Boba Fett to the Star Wars galaxy — joins Favreau and Dave Filoni as executive producer.
Boba Fett made his big-screen debut in 1980’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, becoming an instant fan favorite thanks to his visually arresting armor and cool demeanor. Jeremy Bulloch, the original actor inside the armor, passed away last week — but his legacy, including all he brought to Boba Fett, goes on. The Book of Boba Fett will carry that legacy forward.
Season 3 of The Mandalorian will go into production next year. [Reply]
If you read the article, they copied a story from some dopey website called Fandomwire.com and in the last sentence said "Take this with a grain of salt".
It's an educated guess at best and clickbait at worst. [Reply]

I was hoping it would be Sebastian Stan, so we could get some Luke adventures.
I'm thinking since they didn't do this (or something like it) that they aren't. [Reply]

From my understanding, Sebastian Stan wasn't involved in this episode because he was out of the country filming Falcon & The Winter Soldier.
Supposedly, he wants the role of Luke Skywalker should it come available and Mark Hamill has publicly supported him as well, so if Lucasfilm does move forward with a Luke Skywalker series or even more cameos, it would be a shock if Stan wasn't involved. [Reply]

Nah. That story could be told in less than 3 minutes of screen time.
As we saw in the trailer, this series will be about Boba Fett and Fennec Shand taking over Jabba's criminal underworld activities and how it ties into the overall narrative that F&F appear to be creating. [Reply]
