It’s very attainable nobody hates spoilers greater than the Disney company. Between its Marvel and Star Wars franchises, maybe no different firm goes additional out of its strategy to forestall details about its upcoming initiatives from stepping into the fingers of the general public, both by forcing employees to signal intimidating non-disclosure agreements or straight-up mendacity to individuals. Apparently, that features mendacity to the people who find themselves going to work on the initiatives, too.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed an article titled “How The Book of Boba Fett Will Shake Up Star Wars,” wherein there’s completely no concrete details about how The Book of Boba Fett will shake up Star Wars. That’s as a result of Disney has gone to extraordinary lengths to maintain the upcoming Mandalorian spin-off secret. The article does element a few of these efforts, together with how star Ming-Na Wen (who performs bounty hunter and Boba Fett’s right-hand lady Fennic Shand) had no concept what present she agreed to be in when she signed her contract. Wen stated, “They’re so secretive that when dealing with the contracts, there isn’t even a title for the show; it’s all under pseudonym. I naturally assumed I was doing Mandalorian season three until I showed up on set.”

That appears absurd, however it’s solely the start. Apparently, solely a handful of Disney executives, together with Star Wars TV head honchos Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, and director Robert Rodriguez, knew the present was within the works; the remainder of the corporate discovered about The Book of Boba Fett when the post-credits scene rolled in The Mandalorian season two finale, together with the individuals who work particularly on Disney+, the place the present will probably be airing. And that’s nonetheless not all. If you’ve been underwhelmed by Boba Fett’s trailer to this point, that’s due to a purposeful resolution by Rodriguez and Disney to solely use footage from the opening minutes of the very first episode.

That’s positively absurd. I do know the enjoyment of a very good twist, however there’s a significant distinction between studying Luke Skywalker’s going to pop by The Mandalorian finale and getting a trailer that makes me considerably extra fascinated with watching the present. I imply, would studying in regards to the existence of Baby Yoda beforehand have made you any much less prone to watch Mando? I’m certain there’ll be some mind-blowing moments in The Book of Boba Fett, however it certain feels like Disney is making an attempt to maintain them secret whatever the penalties to the corporate, its workers, and even the present.
