The Book of Boba Fett is the latest Star Wars franchise TV series on Disney+.
The events take place after the events of the film, Return of the Jedi. It also serves as a spin-off from The Mandalorian. The Book of Boba Fett exists alongside The Mandalorian and its other spin-off Ahsoka.
Temuera Morrison stars as Fett, along with Ming-Na Wen and Pedro Pascal.
All 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.
The Book of Boba Fett premiered on December 29, 2021, running for only seven episodes.
With some seriously dope action scenes, Boba Fett and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) attempt to make a name for themselves in the galaxy's underworld by taking over the territory once controlled by Jabba the Hutt.
It literally shows in episode one the survival after that massive Return of the Jedi sand fight. I enjoyed the earlier episodes whilst the latter three became more like an extension of The Mandalorian.
Even starring Pedro Pascal AKA The Mandalorian along with of course Grogu.
Coming in May to the Star Wars universe is Obi-Wan Kenobi, the TV series. Six episodes more of premium Star Wars TV action.
Disney+ is on a roll with these series, although The Book of Boba Fett has been less well received The Mandalorian. Which did have a year off in 2021, with a third season expected to drop this year.
No news on a second season of this series. No word on if its like some of the Marvel series just a one off miniseries. However with programming landing all year round with Disney+ maybe they will roll the cameras on a second season.
This wasn't the best of Disney+ series. The Mandalorian set the bar high! I have high hopes for Obi-Wan Kenobi however wonder exactly how many of these spin-offs, extending the Star Wars galaxies can land before peoples interest starts to fade.
It's a mixed bag this seven episodes of the Star Wars anti hero Fett. So if you liked Return of the Jedi you will like The Book of Boba Fett.
