It explains, in flashbacks, how Boba escaped death long ago - and also picks up the current story line, with Boba and Fennec trying to rule the city after killing its ruthless dictator.īoba hopes to establish a more benevolent rule - but his partner Fennec has other ideas. The Book of Boba Fett is loaded with all three. It's written by Favreau, and is one of three episodes directed by Robert Rodriguez, who's really comfortable with action, humor and special effects. The premiere episode was the only one shown to critics, but it's a good one. These are the building blocks for The Book of Boba Fett. I know, that seems pretty deep into the weeds already, but stay with me. In The Mandalorian, Boba and his fellow bounty hunter, Fennec, helped rescue Baby Yoda from its evil captors - and reappeared, in a teaser clip at the end of last season, to kill another Star Wars villain, a descendant of Jabba the Hut. On TV, Morrison now plays the role of the son, Boba Fett - first in The Mandalorian, and also in this new series.
Decades later, in a series of Star Wars movie prequels, Boba Fett's father was introduced, played by Temuera Morrison. All you need to know, really, is that Boba Fett is a bounty hunter who first showed up in The Empire Strikes Back, and appeared to die in the next film, Return of the Jedi. You can get way, way deep into the weeds describing and dissecting this Star Wars stuff - after all, there's close to 50 years of onscreen history - but I'll try not to. And with his new Boba Fett spinoff, he does it again, impressively.
He also created The Mandalorian, so he's already worked that same magic for the Star Wars universe as well. Favreau directed the first Iron Man movie, the one that established the modern Marvel superhero universe. That's what Jon Favreau, the creator of The Book of Boba Fett, is doing with this new Disney+ fantasy series. And that's exactly what happened, at the start of an equally wonderful spinoff series, Better Call Saul, which took this peripheral character and made him the star of his own show. He'll adopt a new identity, and, in the best case, if things work out, manage a Cinnabon in Omaha. He is equipped with an arsenal of powerful weapons such as dual blaster pistols, a flamethrower, missiles, and a distinctive jet pack.In one of the final episodes of the brilliant AMC drama series Breaking Bad, a supporting character named Saul Goodman, a shifty lawyer played by Bob Odenkirk, reveals his secret plan for survival. Jango Fett faces off against an onslaught of the worst scum in the universe, including crime lords, corrupt politicians, and enemies of various species.

All the while, he'll compete against a brutal rival from his past in a quest to capture the ultimate bounty, dead or alive. Using his cunning and a host of deadly skills, Jango Fett ventures into the rarely explored dark side of the Star Wars universe to track down the elusive leader of a mysterious and deadly cult. The game draws players into Fett's sinister and seedy world, where thieves and assassins thrive.
