The upcoming, Disney+ exclusive Star Wars TV series was advertised for the first time at the end Season Two of The Mandalorian. The post-credit scene to The Mandalorian: Season 2, Episode 8: The Rescue featured Boba Fett and his thrall entering Jabba the Hutt’s palace, killing almost everyone there, and seating himself on the throne. It was an entertaining scene though a strange one.

On Boba Fett:

Boba Fett is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. He is a Mandalorian clone bounty hunter featured in both the original and prequel film trilogies, but first appeared in the non-canonical Star Wars Holiday Special (1978), voiced by Don Francks. In the original trilogy, the character is a supporting antagonist and was mainly portrayed by Jeremy Bulloch and voiced by Jason Wingreen.

Notable for his taciturn demeanor and for never removing his helmet, Boba appears in both The Empire Strikes Back (1980), under the employ of the Galactic Empire, and Return of the Jedi (1983), employed by the crime lord Jabba the Hutt. In Return of the Jedi, he apparently meets his demise after falling into a sarlacc, though his survival is later confirmed by his appearances in other Star Wars works set after Return of the Jedi. Boba was retroactively added to the Special Edition of A New Hope released in 1997, making a non-speaking cameo appearance.

The Book of Boba Fett will star Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen. Directors, plotline, and other co-stars have not been announced.
