For those who watched The Mandalorian Season 2 finale, they’ve been excited to see what the mysterious post-credit sequence was all about.
During the snippet from last week’s finale, Boba returns to Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine and destroys the new inhabitants. After they’re all dead, he sits on Jabba’s throne with Fennec Shand and “The Book of Boba Fett, coming December 2021” appears.
The show is its own series not an installment of The Mandalorian and it will star Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen).
Favreau and Dave Filoni will executive produce the series and Robert Rodriguez who directed the Chapter 14 (“The Tragedy”) episode in Season 2 will helm it.
The new show will be set in The Mandalorian timeline. It’s currently in production and it’s set to debut in December 2021. The spinoff will be premiering before Season 3 of The Mandalorian.
Boba Fett’s first appearance in the Star Wars universe was in 1980’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. The original actor who played Boba, Jeremy Bulloch, passed away last week. Disney promises that “his legacy, including all he brought to Boba Fett, goes on. ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ will carry that legacy forward.”
Other Mandalorian spinoffs include Ahsoka, which will have Rosario Dawson continuing to play Clone Wars Jedi lead Ahsoka Tano and Rangers of the New Republic.
