Disney Plus’ The Book Of Boba Fett will arrive this December
The Star Wars spin-off series stars Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen
Aux News Disney
Setting off a massive wave of Disney+ Star Wars spin-off series, the streamer has unveiled the premiere date of its next intergalactic venture, The Book Of Boba Fett. The spin-off series was first teased during a post-credit scene following The Mandalorian’s second season finale last year, and Disney+ has confirmed Book Of Boba Fett will officially debut this December.
The Book of Boba Fett finds legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigating the Galaxy’s underworld when they return to the sands of Tatooine to stake their claim on the territory once ruled by Jabba the Hutt and his crime syndicate.
Temuera Morrison returns to play Boba Fett in the series, and stars alongside Ming-Na Wen who playes Fennec Shand, an assassin and Fett’s partner. Wen first appeared as Shand in season one of The Mandalorian, and voiced the character in Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Robert Rodriguez (who directed the Boba Fett episode of The Mandalorian), Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson are the executive producers.
“[I] can’t say anything about it at all right now, but it’s coming out in December… Wait until you see what’s coming,” Rodriguez told Collider. “It’s going to blow your mind. That’s all I can say. I can talk it up all I want, because I know it over-delivers. It way over-delivers. People are going to be so pumped when they see it.”
Book Of Boba Fett and the third season of The Mandalorian are just two of many ongoing Star Wars universe projects at Disney+.
There is also an Ahsoka Tano series in the works with Rosario Dawson reprising her role from the second season The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi starring Ewan McGregor, and Andor starring Diego Luna.
The Book Of Boba Fett premieres on Disney+ on December 29.

Gina, this could be us, but you playin’.
Headline a Star Wars property or work for Ben Shapiro opposite Kevin Sorbo? Not exactly the choice I would have made.
Sasha Banks is damn lucky that her little foray into liking anti-vaxx posts last summer wasn’t as noticed by the press.
We all agree she is one of the worst actor’s to ever work in star wars, right? And star wars is basically a who’s who of the most charisma-less actors out there so I guess in someway that is an achievement.
Somewhere out there, every actor who had a bit role in any of the movies or cartoons are hoping they too get a series based on their character.
Fingers crossed for a Max Rebo’s Band show.
The house band for a late night tv show!
How about a Star Wars galaxy-set late night talk show, with Hondo Ohnaka as host (he gives up piracy to go into stand-up and lands the show), and Rebo as bandleader?
I was thinking of a show where Rebo and the Cantina Space-Clarinet guys are always competing for gigs, but this is good too.
Now that I have seen the idea of Hondo hosting a late-night talk show, living in a world without that feels hollow.(I haven’t seen all of Clone Wars, because my kids jumped way the hell ahead without me, but I saw enough to know I WANT THAT.)
Basically a behind-the-scenes type thing, like The Larry Sanders Show?
I was thinking more Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast, but that would be good, too.A running gag could be Hondo being constantly displeased with his guest-booker, who he repeatedly sells to Pyke slavers.

the winner.
Just wait til you see the Mos Eisley Cantina Variety Hour.
you joke, but i would totally watch tat. and so would about 4787942794792 people.
Ooh, I like it, and it could lead into an idea I suggested a few posts up — open mic night at the cantina, where various Star Wars characters try out their stand-up routines.
“So….meesa walks into a bar and deres a Gungan, a droid and a Rabbi…”Yeah, Jar Jar is gonna kill on open mic night.
“Have you ever noticed Stormtroopers never hit their target when they’re shooting?”
I give you…
Oo-teenee: A Jawa Love Story
“It’s a Trap!”, A KING OF QUEENS-esque sitcom.
Yeah, I guess they’re all hoping that, like Jeremy Bullock, they can make a real career out of the bit role.Right? Cuz he’s the star of the show, isn’t he?
Rancor & The Groovy Gamorians
I can’t wait for the Chewbacca family sitcom based on his family from the Holiday Special.
Congratulations to Cool Helmet, for spawning both a successful show and spin-off series.
He was pretty damn fun in S2!
“It’s going to blow your mind. That’s all I can say. I can talk it up all I want, because I know it over-delivers. It way over-delivers…That’s a little concerning. I wonder if they might have made it …too awesome?
Keep in mind, this is Robert Rodriguez, who has a career full of NOT over-delivering.
It’s amazing how excited I am for this, considering that as far as I’m concerned, The Mandalorian is the ONLY time that Boba Fett has been legitimately cool (and yes, I’ve seen Clone Wars). Fennec helps a lot with that.
“The Mandalorian is the ONLY time that Boba Fett has been legitimately cool”
Did Disney+ release a third season with Bob Fett being cool?
Spoiler Alert: Boba Fett’s real dad is Sheev Palpatine!
he was more intimidating as “The Emperor”. No one named Sheev is intimidating.
Too early to introduce a live action Omega into the series?
Sure, they can’t show she survives the whole story, haha!
I’m curious what Robert Rodriguez has ever done that makes him qualified to say that this “over-delivers”.
I read multiple books of Boba Fett as a kid and all I can say is bring back Dengar you cowards.
So we’ve gone from Kinja not showing us links to where folks replied
to Kinja not notifying us when we get our precious stars? Jesus
Christ.
Does the av club hate their commentariat or something? fair enough.
Whenever I hear Boba Fett, I think of this Family Guy episode.Lois: Peter, would you please fix the bathroom faucet? Peter: I fixed it already. Lois: No You didn’t. It’s still dripping. Peter: No way! I will give you all my Star Wars cards if it is. Wait-wait. Except Boba Fett. No matter how sure I am, I never risk the Fett man.
I’m getting very exhausted by the notion of all of these spinoff SW shows.“The Mandalorian” was basically already “The Boba Fett Show” in all but name. And that was the most “original” of all their announced series.
Now every damn character is getting a spinoff.God forbid someone invent a new character!The one I’m most interested in is Andor, not because the character is particularly interesting, but the timeframe sounds at least promising.
Wait, The Mandalorian is still continuing?
Do you really think Disney is going to let the show that helped carry its streaming platform through its first months of existence go that easily? There’s still milk in them titties, my friend, and if they have to, they will kill the cow to get it.
I knew someone would reply to this effect and, no, I never really thought Disney would let sleeping dogs lie entirely, but it just strikes me that they’re embarking on a period now wherein the show is going to be very clearly demarcated as “the bit after the natural end of the story”, which in turn strikes me as the bit where people are going to start saying “it’s not as good as the first two seasons”.I just figured they’d keep making new Star Wars shows every few years rather than pick a couple to turn into going concerns. Its not like they can’t afford it or the Star Wars property can’t support it. Especially since the production method they’re using is, while expensive, quite cost effective.That’s all.
God, fucking finally. It’s here.
Me and my 1979 mail-order Boba Fett action figure I got by stealing proofs-of-purchase off other figures’ packaging at Woolworths when I was 10 will be watching intently.
All random cool looking guys standing around doing nothing for 3 movies and 4 minutes of screen time should be so lucky.
