Boba Fett is back in an all new Disney+ show 'The Book of Boba Fett'
Boba Fett lives on, again and this time in a spin-off, as Lucasfilm have confirmed that the ending of Season 2 of The Mandalorian, did in fact announce a new spin-off of Boba Fett, coming in December 2021.
Before we delve into the limited details, it is important to note that Season 3 of the Mandalorian is still happening, this is not a replacement for Din Jarin, but as that show has an air date of December 25th, there is a good chance we will see more of them in each others respective shows.

Robert Rodriguez actually directed Chapter 6, The Tragedy, where Boba Fett makes his grand return and then kicks a lot of ass. As such, seeing him on board as a producer is a good thing, especially as he and series star Temuera Morrison seem to get along so well.
“Within Boba, if he decided to erupt, he’s like a small volcano,” Morrison says. “And Robert was drawing a little bit of that out of me, as well. So when we do those fight sequences, there is a bit of rawness there, there is a bit of brutality there.”
But this return to Star Wars has also given the actor a moment to reflect. “I count my blessings and I’m very grateful. Grateful to George, in fact, for giving me Jango Fett. And that’s how this whole thing has come about,” he says. “Just very grateful for being involved in this wonderful production.”
Apart from it starring Morrison as Fett and Ming-na Wen as Fennic Shand, and it running at the same time as the Mandalorian and the planned Rangers of the New Republic and Ashoka spin-offs that were announced the other week.
