The Book of Boba Fett is an American space Western television series created by Jon Favreau for the streaming service Disney+. It is part of the Star Wars franchise, taking place after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983). It is a spin-off from the series The Mandalorian, that features the crime lord and bounty hunter Boba Fett from that series and other Star Wars media. The Book of Boba Fett exists alongside The Mandalorian and its other spin-off Ahsoka.

Temuera Morrison stars as the title character, with Ming-Na Wen also starring as Fennec Shand. Both reprise their roles from The Mandalorian and other Star Wars media. Several attempts were made at developing a standalone Star Wars film centered on Boba Fett before Lucasfilm began prioritizing its streaming series such as The Mandalorian. A potential spin-off series was first reported in November 2020 and was officially announced in December. Filming had begun by that point, and lasted until June 2021.

The Book of Boba Fett premiered on December 29, 2021, and will run for seven episodes until February 9, 2022. The series has received mixed reviews from critics.

Premise[]

Boba Fett and Fennec Shand attempt to make a name for themselves in the galaxy's underworld by taking over the territory once controlled by Jabba the Hutt.[1]

Cast and characters[]

Starring[]

  • Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett:
    The newest daimyo of Tatooine, former bounty hunter, and son of Jango Fett.[2] Morrison said the series was an opportunity to explore the character's past and show what happened to him between the events of Return of the Jedi (1983) and the second season of The Mandalorian (2020).[3] He focused on Fett's "simmering kind of violence" and desire for revenge, as well as his loneliness, that was caused by watching his father die at a young age. This plays into the idea that he finds a new family in a tribe of Tusken Raiders in The Book of Boba Fett.[4] Daniel Logan appears as a young Fett via archive footage filmed for Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002),[5] while Finnegan Garay served as the on-set actor for young Fett.[6]
  • Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand: An elite mercenary and assassin in Fett's service.[2]

Recurring co-stars[]

  • Matt Berry as the voice of 8D8: A torture droid in Fett's service.[7][8]
  • David Pasquesi as the Twi'lek majordomo to Mok Shaiz, Mayor of Mos Espa on Tatooine.[8]
  • Jennifer Beals as Garsa Fwip: A Twi'lek who runs a cantina in Mos Espa called the Sanctuary.[8]
  • Carey Jones as "Santo" Krrsantan: A Wookiee bounty hunter, former gladiator, and associate of Fett's who works for the Twins, Jabba the Hutt's cousins before being hired by Fett.[9]

Other co-stars[]

  • Stephen Root as Lortha Peel: A water-monger in the Working District of Mos Espa.[10]
  • Sophie Thatcher as Drash: A member of a group of cyborgs who side with Boba Fett.[10]
  • Jordan Bolger as Skad: A member of the group of cyborgs working for Fett.[10]
  • Danny Trejo as the trainer of Fett's rancor.[10]
  • Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner as the person who carries out an operation to modify Fennec Shand.[11]

Additionally, director Robert Rodriguez voices the Trandoshan leader Dokk Strassi (physically portrayed by Stephen Oyoung),[12] and the Ithorian Mayor of Mos Espa, Mok Shaiz.[13] Sam Witwer, the voice actor for Darth Maul in previous Star Wars media, provides the uncredited voice of a Rodian prisoner,[14] while frequent Star Wars voice actor Stephen Stanton provides the uncredited voice of a Pyke traveler.[15] Mandy Kowalski and Skyler Bible appear as Camie Marstrap and Laze "Fixer" Loneozner, respectively, characters originally portrayed by Koo Stark and Anthony Forrest in a deleted scene from Star Wars (1977).[16] Phil LaMarr provides the voice for the Pyke boss.[17] Peli Motto, who was portrayed by Amy Sedaris in The Mandalorian, makes a brief appearance in the third episode.[18]

Episodes[]

No.TitleDirected byWritten byOriginal release date
1"Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land"Robert RodriguezJon FavreauDecember 29, 2021 (2021-12-29)
Boba Fett barely escapes from the sarlacc that swallowed him,[a] and is left for dead by Jawas who steal his Mandalorian armor. He is captured by Tusken Raiders and fails to escape their camp. Five years later,[19] Fett and Fennec Shand have taken control of Jabba's criminal empire on Tatooine, including his palace.[b] They receive tribute from local dignitaries and gain the services of two Gamorrean guards. Fett and Shand visit the Sanctuary, a cantina in Mos Espa run by Garsa Fwip, who also offers a tribute. Outside the cantina, the group is ambushed by assassins, whom they fight off. Shand captures one of the assailants after pursuing them across the rooftops. The guards take an injured Fett to the palace and place him in a bacta tank for healing. Fett has a flashback to his time with the Tuskens: he and a Rodian captive were forced to dig for black melons in the desert until they were attacked by a large sand creature that killed the Rodian. Fett killed the creature, saving a Tusken child who took the creature's head back to camp as a trophy. The tribe's chieftain then offered a black melon to Fett.
2"Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine"Steph GreenJon FavreauJanuary 5, 2022 (2022-01-05)
Fett and Shand interrogate the captured assassin who claims to have been hired by Mok Shaiz, the Mayor of Mos Espa. Shaiz denies this but offers payment to Fett for capturing the assassin and suggests that they visit the Sanctuary again. Fwip informs Fett that two of Jabba's cousins, a pair of Hutts known as "The Twins", want to claim Jabba's throne for themselves. The Twins arrive with the Wookiee bounty hunter Krrsantan and try to intimidate Fett, but he refuses to submit. In the bacta tank, Fett remembers the Tuskens teaching him their style of combat and desert survival skills. After the tribe was attacked by a Pyke Syndicate spice train, Fett stole speeder bikes from a nearby Nikto gang and taught the Tuskens how to ride them. He led the tribe in a successful attack to stop the train and warned the surviving Pykes that they would have to pay a toll to enter the Tuskens' territory in the future. To be admitted into the Tusken tribe, Fett was guided by a lizard inside his head to a branch, which he turned into his own gaffi stick. The tribe then held a ceremony to accept him.
3"Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa"Robert RodriguezJon FavreauJanuary 12, 2022 (2022-01-12)
Fett is asked by water-monger Lortha Peel to punish a gang of cyborgs who are stealing his water in Mos Espa. Peel claims that the citizens of Tatooine do not respect Fett yet. Upon seeing that the gang has no work, Fett employs the cyborgs as enforcers and demands that Peel reduce his prices. In his bacta tank, Fett recalls seeking the toll from the Pykes on behalf of the Tusken tribe, only to find the tribe destroyed by the Nikto gang on his return. His memories are interrupted when Fett is attacked by Krrsantan. Fett, Shand, the guards, and the cyborgs fight off and capture the Wookiee. The Twins soon apologise for sending Krrsantan, claiming that Shaiz has promised Jabba's territory to another syndicate. The Twins vow to leave Tatooine, and gift a rancor to Fett. After releasing Krrsantan and resolving to train the rancor, Fett goes to Mos Espa with Shand and the cyborgs to question Shaiz. They find the mayor absent but chase down his majordomo who reveals that Shaiz is working with the Pykes. Later, the Pykes begin arriving in Mos Espa and Fett decides to prepare for war.
4"Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm"Kevin TancharoenJon FavreauJanuary 19, 2022 (2022-01-19)
In a flashback, Fett plans to break into Jabba the Hutt’s palace to take his ship back. While he is contemplating a plan he discovers Fennec Shand dying from a gut wound.[c] He successfully manages to get her healed, and requests her to help him break into Hutt’s palace, where she reveals that Bib Fortuna has taken over. They manage to take back Fett’s ship. Fett releases Shand from his service, but she still chooses to continue working with him. Later, Fett shoots down the biker gang who killed the Tuskens and attempts to retrieve his armor from the Saarlac pit, but is unsuccessful. In the present, Fett hires Krrsantan after he gets into the bar fight. He requests that Hutt’s subordinates stay neutral in his war with the Pykes Syndicate, which they agree to. As Fett says that he needs some muscle for the war, Shand indirectly suggests they ask Din Djarin for help.

The series consists of seven episodes,[20] all written by Jon Favreau, co-writing the sixth with Dave Filoni.[21] Rodriguez directed an additional episode,[22] while Bryce Dallas Howard, and Filoni also directed an episode each.[23][21]

Production[]

Background[]

In February 2013, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced the development of several Star Wars standalone spin-off films. One was reportedly centered on the bounty hunter character Boba Fett, and would either take place between Star Wars (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980) or The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (1983).[24] The film was also said to explore the other bounty hunters seen in The Empire Strikes Back.[25] In early 2014, Simon Kinberg approached director Josh Trank about making a Star Wars film, and Trank made a pitch for a Boba Fett film to Star Wars producer Lucasfilm;[26] he was hired to direct that June.[27] Trank was scheduled to announce the film at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in April 2015, and also reveal a teaser for the project,[28] but this was canceled at the last minute after Lucasfilm became aware of the troubled production on Trank's film Fantastic Four (2015).[26] In May 2015, Trank was no longer working on the film.[29] A Boba Fett film was reportedly still being considered by Lucasfilm as of August 2017.[30] Following the financial failure of the film Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), Disney reconsidered their Star Wars film output. By October 2018, the Boba Fett film was no longer moving forward, and Lucasfilm was prioritizing the Disney+ streaming series The Mandalorian instead.[25][31]

Iger said in February 2020 that spin-offs of The Mandalorian were being considered, and there was potential to add more characters to the series with the intention of then giving them their own series.[32] In May, Temuera Morrison was set to appear as Boba Fett in the second season of The Mandalorian.[33][34] Morrison portrayed Boba's father Jango Fett in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002), and went on to provide the voice of Boba in various Star Wars media.[33] Before Morrison's involvement in The Mandalorian was confirmed, Fett briefly appeared in the first season episode "Chapter 5: The Gunslinger" alongside the character Fennec Shand, portrayed by Ming-Na Wen.[34][35] Morrison makes a short appearance in the second-season premiere, "Chapter 9: The Marshal", before being fully introduced in "Chapter 14: The Tragedy", directed by Robert Rodriguez.[36]

Development[]

By early November 2020, production on either the third season of The Mandalorian or a potential spin-off series focusing on Boba Fett was believed to be scheduled to begin later that month or in early December.[37] A Boba Fett spin-off series was not announced by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy at Disney's Investor Day event on December 10, when The Mandalorian spin-offs Rangers of the New Republic and Ahsoka were announced; Kennedy said those series exist within The Mandalorian's timeline and were planned to culminate in a "climactic story event".[38] Kennedy did announce that the "next chapter" of The Mandalorian story would premiere in December 2021.[39]

Jon Favreau, the creator and writer of The Book of Boba Fett

The Mandalorian's second-season finale, "Chapter 16: The Rescue", was released later in December 2020. It includes a "surprise end-credit sequence" that revealed The Book of Boba Fett was coming December 2021.[40] This led to some confusion and speculation among commentators who believed this was a subtitle for the third season of The Mandalorian, and that The Mandalorian would be switching focus from its title character Din Djarin to Boba Fett with the third season.[2] Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian's creator and showrunner, soon clarified that The Book of Boba Fett was its own series, separate from the third season of The Mandalorian. He explained that the spin-off was not announced by Kennedy at the Investor Day event because they did not want to "spoil the surprise" of the reveal at the end of "Chapter 16: The Rescue". He added that production had already begun on the spin-off. It is executive produced by Favreau, Dave Filoni, and Rodriguez,[2] with Favreau writing all seven episodes of the series and co-writing the sixth with Filoni.[21] Like the other spin-offs, The Book of Boba Fett is also set within the timeline of The Mandalorian,[2] and has been described as "The Mandalorian season 2.5".[41][42] The production referred to each episode of The Book of Boba Fett as if it was a third season of The Mandalorian; for example, the first episode was referred to as "301" rather than the typical "101" for a series' first episode.[42] The series consists of seven episodes.[20]

Casting[]

When production on the series was first reported, Sophie Thatcher was said to be joining the Mandalorian franchise but it was unknown which series should appear in.[37] With the series' official announcement in December 2020, Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen were confirmed to be reprising their respective roles of Boba Fett and Fennec Shand from The Mandalorian and other previous Star Wars media.[2] Before then, Wen assumed that she was hired as a series regular for the third season of The Mandalorian.[42] Additional characters from The Mandalorian were expected to appear,[41] with Peli Motto, who was portrayed by Amy Sedaris in The Mandalorian, making a brief appearance in the third episode.[18] Jennifer Beals was revealed to have a role in the series in November 2021,[1] and Thatcher was confirmed to be appearing in this series in January 2022.[10] The character Krrsantan, a Wookiee bounty hunter introduced in Marvel Comics' Star Wars comic books, also appears in the series,[43] portrayed by Carey Jones.[9]

Filming[]

Filming for the series began by late November 2020,[2][37] on the StageCraft video wall volume in Los Angeles that is also used for The Mandalorian.[41] COVID-19 safety guidelines were followed on set, with crew members wearing masks and face shields around actors, rapid testing for COVID-19 every three days, and normal testing for the virus once a week.[44] After two weeks of filming, members of the cast and crew learned that they were making The Book of Boba Fett rather than The Mandalorian season three.[42] Rodriguez directed three episodes of the series,[22][21] with Bryce Dallas Howard, Filoni, Steph Green, and Kevin Tancharoen also directing an episode each.[45][23][21] Dean Cundey, David Klein, and Paul Hughen served as cinematographers on the series.[46][47] Filming wrapped by June 8, 2021,[48] with Obi-Wan Kenobi taking over the Los Angeles soundstages.[41]

Visual effects[]

Industrial Light and Magic provides visual effects for the series.[49]

Music[]

By late September 2021, scoring sessions for the series had begun with The Mandalorian composer Ludwig Göransson returning for The Book of Boba Fett. Joseph Shirley, who provided additional music on The Mandalorian, was also involved and was expected to receive composer credit.[50] Göransson is credited as having composed the main themes for the series, with Shirley credited as composer.[51]

Release[]

The series premiered on Disney+ on December 29, 2021,[52] and will consist of seven episodes[20] that will be released weekly until February 9, 2022.[53]

Reception[]

The Book of Boba Fett: Critical reception by episode
  • The Book of Boba Fett (2021–22): Percentage of positive reviews tracked by the website Rotten Tomatoes[54]

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 90% based on 6 reviews, with an average rating of 7.25/10.[54] Metacritic gave the series a weighted average score of 59 out of 100 based on 19 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[55]

Reviewing the first episode, Daniel D'Addario of Variety praised the narrative, visuals and performances. He felt that the episode's "tidy establishment of the personality, beliefs, and challenges" of Fett "suggests a willingness to pare things down that looks, at a first glance, refreshing".[56] Polygon's David Grossman said that the first episode showed the "desperate side of Star Wars".[57] Drew Magary at the San Francisco Chronicle disliked the episode, writing that it was an "abysmal failure on every level".[58]

Reviewing episode two, Nick Wanserski of The A.V. Club stated that it "shows a stunning lack of storytelling ambition", but said that the Tusken Raiders riding on speeder bikes and the train heist scene were "rad".[59] Rohan Nahaar of The Indian Express criticized the train heist scene and gave the episode a rating 3 out of 5.[60] Maggie Lovett at Collider expressed that the episode "delivered one of the best and most thematically rich episodes of Star Wars television to date", giving it an "A".[61] IGN's Hanna Flint said that she wanted to see Fennec Shand have more screen time.[62]

Reviewing episode three, Flint stated that the decision to kill off the Tuskens was an "obvious and lazy one". She also stated that without Morrison portraying Boba Fett the show might have been a total failure, saying that "Morrison's plain-speaking, humane antihero keeps you endeared to Boba's story".[63] Lovett gave the episode a rating of B+.[10] The cyborg gang was negatively compared to the Power Rangers.[64]
