The Book of Boba FettstarsTemuera Morrisonand Ming-Na Wen. Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Robert Rodriguez, Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson are the executive producers. Karen Gilchrist and Carrie Beck serve as co-executive producers, with John Bartnicki producing and John Hampian as co-producer.
“Probably there will be some similarities,” Ming-Na Wen said of whatThe MandalorianandThe Book of Boba Fetthave in common, per ComicBook.com. “Tonally, you know,Mandois very much a loner except for his relationship with Grogu, so just the dynamic that there’s now a team of between Boba and Fennec. I think that already creates a different quality for the show. Yeah, that’s about all I can say.”
Teasing that more of Boba Fett’s past will be explored, Temuera Morrison also told Rotten Tomatoes: “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.”
“I just hope I meet the expectations, because you can somehow kind of feel those things,” he added. “You asked me that question earlier about Occupation - could you feel or sense anything, but definitely on The Book of Boba, you can get more of a sense and a feeling for if it’s working or not. So I think with being involved with that last series of The Mandalorian and having a reentry, it has created a little bit more expectation. But yeah, I feel good. We’ve done some good work.”
The Book of Boba Fettis also one of many newStar Warsshows on their way to Disney+. Rosario Dawson will star as the titular character inAhsoka, another spinoff ofThe Mandalorian.
