Sept. 29 (UPI) — Star Wars television series The Book of Boba Fett will be coming to Disney+ on Dec. 29.
The official Star Wars Twitter page made the announcement on Wednesday alongside a new poster featuring the titular bounty hunter sitting on a throne with a blaster in his hand.
The Book of Boba Fett is spinning out of the events of The Mandalorian starring Pedro Pascal as another armored bounty hunter. The Book of Boba Fett was teased during an after-credits scene that appeared at the end of The Mandalorian Season 2 in December 2020.
Fett, portrayed by Temuera Morrison, returned to Jabba the Hutt’s palace and shot up the place before taking Jabba’s throne during the after-credits scene.
Mercenary Fennec Shand, portrayed by Ming-Na Wen, will be joining Fett in the new series as the duo stake their claim to Jabba’s territory.
Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Robert Rodriguez, Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson are executive producing. Karen Gilchrist and Carrie Beck are co-executive producers with John Bartnicki producing and John Hampian as co-producer.
