Temuera Morrisonsurprised fans ofStar Warsby returning to the franchise and bringing Boba Fett back to life in the second season ofThe Mandalorian. Now, we’re getting our own series starring Morrison and following Fett’s adventures withThe Book of Boba Fett, Morrison has revealed that his new series will flashback to the originalStar Warsfilms.
WhenRotten Tomatoes asked Morrisonabout Boba’s fighting style inThe Book of Boba Fettand whether we would see more of his hand-to-hand style combat, Morrison’s response makes it sound like we’re going to be flashing back to when Boba supposedly met his demise.
“Well, we can’t say too much, but we’re going to see his past and where he’s been sinceThe Empire Strikes Back. Somebody pointed out he’s been kind of stuck in this one place, and now’s the time to actually go back in time and check out his journey and find out more about him.” We can only assume that the “since The Empire Strikes Back” also includes Boba’s fall into the Sarlaac pit duringReturn of the Jedi. Morrison also mentioned, “They brought Robert back in to direct a few more. There’s some wonderful directors involved.” According to Morrison, it sounds like Robert Rodriguez, who directed “The Tragedy” episode fromThe Mandalorian’s second season, will be returning behind the camera forThe Book of Boba Fett, in addition to executive producing the series.

During the original seriesStar Warsfilms, Boba was played byJeremy Bulloch. We didn’t get to see Boba Fett out of the suit during that time, but because of the prequel series, we knew that Boba Fett was a clone of his father Jango Fett (played by Morrison). However, with the return of Boba Fett inThe Mandalorian’s second season, the possibilities for the character opened up, and we’ll apparently see what the character has been up to all these years in the upcomingThe Book of Boba Fett.
The Book of Boba Fettwill also starMing-Na Wen’s Fennec Shand and from the teaser we got at the end ofThe MandalorianSeason 2, we’ll return to Tatooine for Boba to take his place on the throne at Jabba’s Palace. We’ll see Boba and Fennec in December of 2021 whenThe Book of Boba Fetthits Disney+.
