Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Mandalorian season 2 finale.
The Mandalorian season 2 ended with a post-credits scene that set up the future of the galaxy’s other favorite bounty hunter in a new show called The Book of Boba Fett, debuting in 2021. Temuera Morrison – who first appeared as Boba’s father, Jango Fett, in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones – returned to play Boba in The Mandalorian season 2.
Rumors of a Star Wars project centered on Boba Fett have been circulating for several years. Lucasfilm was reportedly planning a spinoff film similar to Rogue One and Solo, but cancelled it after Solo disappointed at the box office. The casting of Morrison in The Mandalorian season 2 was followed by rumors that a Boba Fett TV show was in development, but it was not one of the many upcoming Star Wars projects announced during Disney’s Investors Day. It appears that this surprise was being saved for The Mandalorian’s post-credits stinger.
Boba Fett only played a minor role in the original Star Wars trilogy, but became a favorite character among fans. The return of Boba and his unique ship, the Slave I, has been one of the highlights of The Mandalorian season 2. Here’s how the finale’s post-credits scene set up the continuation of his journey.
What Happens In The Mandalorian’s Boba Fett Post-Credits Scene
After Din Djarin bids an emotional farewell to Baby Yoda (a.k.a. Grogu), who is taken away to be trained as a Jedi by Luke Skywalker, The Mandalorian season 2 finale’s post-credits scene reveals what two of his allies do next. Boba Fett committed himself to helping Mando rescue the child after Baby Yoda was kidnapped on the ancient Jedi planet Tython. Boba had promised the child’s safety in exchange for the return of his father’s armor, and his commitment to helping rescue Baby Yoda was an extension of that promise. The episode set up Boba, who has primarily been an antagonist in his previous Star Wars appearances, as a man who has been redeemed and firmly believes in a code of honor.
The post-credits scene returns to a familiar location from the original Star Wars movie trilogy: Jabba the Hutt’s palace, in Tatooine’s Dune Sea. Jabba himself met an ignoble end in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi when an enslaved Princess Leia strangled him to death with her chains. During the same fight, Boba Fett was thrown into the sarlacc pit where he was originally presumed to have been eaten by the giant desert creature, but (as we now know) managed to escape, albeit without his armor. The Mandalorian reveals that Jabba’s majordomo, the Twi’lek Bib Fortuna, took over the running of the palace after Jabba’s death.
His reign ends quickly after Fennec Shand – the assassin and gun-for-hire played by Ming-Na Wen, who first appeared in The Mandalorian season 1 and returned as an ally of Boba in season 2 – enters the palace and shoots all of Bib Fortuna’s guards dead, before freeing a Twi’lek slave girl. When Boba follows behind her, Bib unconvincingly blusters that he thought Boba was dead (earlier in the season, Boba had described being left for dead in the unforgiving landscape of the Dune Sea) before Boba kills him. The one-time bounty hunter then takes his place on Jabba’s old throne, with Fennec by his side, before the final screen teases the arrival of The Book of Boba Fett next year.
What Does The Future Hold For Boba Fett & Fennec Shand?
Boba Fett and Fennec Shand’s skillsets lie in being hired to kill or capture people, so it seems likely that Boba plans to establish his own chapter of the Bounty Hunters Guild on Tatooine, using the strength of Jabba’s former throne and the resources at its disposal. Jabba the Hutt was a gangster and a crime lord, and the presence of the Twi’lek slave girl confirms that Bib Fortuna continued his more unsavory business ventures after the giant slug’s death. While Boba and Fennec are presumably out to help themselves rather than wayward Jedi babies now, it can be expected that they’ll clean up Jabba’s old operation, based on Fennec’s freeing of the slave.
Beyond establishing their own operation, however, Boba and Fennec may also look to eradicate the remnants of the Empire. When Boba saw Moff Gideon’s light cruiser and realized that the Empire was back, he seemed deeply disturbed – even though at one point he was working alongside the Empire. Boba has close ties to the former galactic government, as it seized power thanks to an army of clones of his father. Boba himself is actually another clone of Jango Fett rather than being his biological son, though he was raised by Jango and inherited his armor. Jango was killed by the Jedi Master Mace Windu, but nonetheless he died in the service of the Empire and Boba came close to doing the same. After his years of wandering Tatooine’s Dune Sea, Boba may have come to realize the evils of the Empire, and to dread its return.
The Outer Rim, where Tatooine is located, is the wild west of the Star Wars galaxy – famously untamed by both the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire. The New Republic, meanwhile, is still weak and struggling to rebuild after the fall of the Empire, and is therefore in no position to bring the Outer Rim to heel. Boba Fett could use his newfound power to take control of his own corner of the galaxy – which would certainly fit with him taking his seat on the palace’s throne. All hail King Fett!
What We Know About The Book of Boba Fett
Disney has yet to reveal anything more about The Book of Boba Fett beyond the show’s title and the planned release date. It will join two other upcoming Star Wars shows, Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic, in taking place concurrently alongside The Mandalorian. Though the time period after Star Wars: Return of the Jedi was thoroughly explored over the years in Star Wars books, comics and video games, most of those stories have now been excised from official canon and become Star Wars Legends. That means that there’s a lot unknown about what happened in the galaxy between the end of the original Star Wars trilogy and the start of the sequel trilogy – and the three shows can explore that time period both independently and in crossovers.
It was confirmed during Disney’s Investors Day presentation that Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic will eventually build to a crossover, which means that The Book of Boba Fett could potentially join them. However, beyond straightforward crossovers there’s also a lot of potential for cross-pollination between the series. Side characters like Migs Mayfeld, Greef Karga and Peli Motto can appear across all of them, and The Book of Boba Fett being centered on Tatooine means that both Peli and Marshal Cobb Vanth (who owned and wore Boba’s armor for a while) are likely to make an appearance. Having established herself at Boba’s side after he saved her life, it looks like Fennec will fulfil the same role that Bib Fortuna once did for Jabba, as Boba’s right-hand woman and majordomo.
Will The Book Of Boba Fett Replace The Mandalorian Season 3?
The ending of The Mandalorian season 2 wrapped up the arc of the show’s first 16 chapters, from Din Djarin discovering Baby Yoda to delivering him into the arms of Luke Skywalker. Between that ending and the announcement of The Book of Boba Fett, some fans may be wondering whether The Book of Boba Fett will replace The Mandalorian as the next chapter of the story, with Mando taking a back seat as the story continues.
During Disney’s Investors Day presentation, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that the next chapter of The Mandalorian will arrive in time for Christmas 2021, which many took as a confirmation of season 3. However, she notably didn’t use the words “season 3,” which means she may well have been referring to The Book of Boba Fett instead. That doesn’t mean that The Book of Boba Fett is replacing The Mandalorian season 3 (Mando and Baby Yoda are such popular characters that they’re unlikely to be pushed into the background), but it does mean we may have to wait a while longer for Chapter 17. The Book of Boba Fett could actually be a miniseries designed as a sort of holiday special for The Mandalorian, to create some space between Mando and Baby Yoda’s emotional goodbye and their presumed reunion in season 3.
Almost 40 years after his original on-screen death, Boba is back in his armor and ready to face a changing galaxy. The potential for new stories is huge, and hopefully Disney will reveal more about The Book of Boba Fett soon.
