The Book of Boba Fett Will Explore What Happened After the Sarlacc

What, you thought Star Wars would depart one thing about a personality’s backstory unexplained?

We’re slightly below a month away from the Disney+ sequence The Book of Boba Fett, and in true Star Wars fashion as of late, we all know barely something in regards to the sequence aside from the imprecise concept that Boba Fett and Fennec Shand will likely be organising store in Jabba’s palace to take the expired Hutt’s legal enterprise for their very own. Will there be adventures past Tatooine? Will Boba and Fennec cope with the lingering Imperial remnants they confronted in The Mandalorian? What different acquainted Star Wars faces will present up (as a result of that’s the opposite factor Star Wars is into lately)? Will there, for the love of god, be books?

We don’t know. What we do know, nevertheless, is that Lucasfilm isn’t going to overlook the chance of doing a Boba Fett present after the occasions of Return of the Jedi and never inform us how the bounty hunter isn’t at the moment an enormous sentient pit monster’s dinner for the following 1,000 years. “There will definitely be a number of answers,” Temuera Morrison informed SFX journal (by way of GamesRadar). “Some long-winded answers. Some short and sharp answers. Some colorful answers. We’re filling a lot of gaps.”

Of course with Boba, even along with his penchant for exhibiting up all over the place he presumably can, there are nonetheless many areas of his life left untouched, particularly within the present Star Wars canon, so this makes quite a lot of sense. We’ve already seen cryptic photographs in latest footage of him recovering in Bacta and seeing visions of Tuskens, which may all probably counsel we’ll be trying again at how he crawled out of the Sarlacc and located himself that nifty gaffi stick he was beating the snot out of stormtroopers with once we met him once more in The Mandalorian season two. Plus, it’s Star Wars. For higher or worse, the sequence is fascinated by not simply its previous, however archiving the main points of it as a lot as it could. At least, it appears, past the sake of telling us that Boba acquired out of Sarlacc saliva, Morrison’s co-star Ming-Na Wen teased that the trauma Boba confronted in his seeming sluggish demise will grow to be one thing of a bonding level for him and Fennec, who was likewise rescued from sure doom after being left within the sands of Tatooine to rot. “And you know, Boba died–or we thought he did–in the Sarlacc pit, so I think that both of them share those near-death experiences in common,” Wen informed the journal. “They both have a vulnerability that they understand.”

“He’s someone she respects and they have definitely bonded with him saving her. It allowed her to realize that she might be better off not being solo anymore,” she continued. “She sees her alliance with Boba Fett as a very smart move, in the sense that she’ll have somebody watching her back. And even though it might be an extra baggage to have to align herself with someone else, the reward for her at the moment is greater.”

Of course, The Book of Boba Fett has much more it may dive into past the titular bounty hunter’s quick previous, given it’s set in that attention-grabbing time-frame about 5 years after the occasions of Return of the Jedi. It’s time of nice upheaval within the wider state of the galaxy far, far ameans; the Galactic Concordance—the official peace settlement between the Imperial remnant and the New Republic that put an finish to the Galactic Civil War—was signed only a yr after Return. Much of what we all know in regards to the New Republic on this time is in regards to the consolidation of its forces, transferring navy and regulation enforcement primarily over to planetary governments.

Sure, Book of Boba Fett will likely be targeted on the principle man himself and the legal underworld he needs to rule, however that might additionally imply brushing up with the lengthy arm of the brand new regulation within the galaxy, making its exploration of the previous a bit extra attention-grabbing than merely masking Boba’s dishonest demise. The Book of Boba Fett begins December 29.
