The first teaser for The Book of Boba Fett has arrived, and it seems that the legendary bounty hunter - although I don't think he wants to be called that anymore - wasn't finished after he reclaimed his famous armour and took control of Jabba the Hutt's palace. If you haven't seen the trailer, or you just want to watch it again, check it out below.
We always knew that Fett wouldn't just kick back and relax after taking Jabba's palace. This was never about a home. But it really is about time that this fan favourite character, this mysterious and infamous bounty hunter got to be more than just the guy who crashed and fell into a Sarlacc pit. Temuera Morrison finally got the chance to explore what Boba Fett is capable of in The Mandalorian season 2, as he and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) helped Mando (Pedro Pascal) rescue little Grogu from Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito). Their promise fulfilled, and Jabba's palace now under their control, it's time to find out what this formidable pair have planned for the future.
Apparently the palace isn't enough. Fett wants the territory and the power too. He plans to unite Jabba's former captains and rebuild this underworld empire to its former glory. Sound like dangerous work, but the outer rim always has been a little rough around the edges. However, Boba plans to use a different approach to the deceased Hutt; "Jabba ruled with fear. I intend to rule with respect." A policy he demonstrates when one of those captains questions why they shouldn't just kill him. After Fennec Shand points out that Jabba would have killed the captain for saying that, Boba responds by saying; "please, speak freely". Now there's nothing to say he won't kill said captain after letting him speak - something we know he and Fennec are more than capable of - but Boba has always been one to fight smart. That is how he caught the illusive Captain Solo and his friends, and delivered them to Darth Vader. Luckily for us, not everyone will accept him as their new leader, which means Boba and Fennec have some leg work to do; stomping out the competition. Looks like that gaffi stick might come in handy again.
However he chooses to take Jabba's territory, it looks like dangerous work. And with Robert Rodriguez having directed several episodes, you can expect an insane amount of action. All of which thankfully looks to be in keeping with the Star Wars universe, specifically the grittiness of the outer rim seen in The Mandalorian. No surprise given that Jon Favreau is onboard as showrunner and one of the episode directors. Other directors include Bryce Dallas Howard and Dave Filoni. With many different species appearing in the trailer, this might be a chance to get to know some of the other bounty hunters we've seen Boba Fett mingling with over the years. But it's interesting to note that Boba no longer considers himself a bounty hunter. He certainly tells a potential client as much. Is it that he wants to move into a different business as he takes over Jabba's territory? Or is it that he now considers himself management? Probably the latter. Killing Bib Fortuna was kind of an act of self-promotion. Lets hope he's more of a hands-on boss.
Boba Fett has been a fan favourite character since he first set foot on the bridge of Darth Vader's super star destroyer in The Empire Strikes Back. He didn't really get the chance to earn his reputation as this legendary bounty hunter until he appeared in The Mandalorian. Now with The Book of Boba Fett, it looks like we might get chance to learn more about who the man wearing the helmet, as he is promoted to a management position.
The Book of Boba Fett arrives on Disney+ on 29th December.
