Boba Fett has attracted the attention of the Star Wars fans since his first appearance. After a shameful end in Return of the Jedi, everyone longed for the hunter to return from the dead. And now, it seems that our wishes have been fulfilled, because according to reports, a live-action series about Boba Fett is in production.
The news comes from the Deadline media website, shortly after a cameo by Temuera Morrison in a recent episode of The Mandalorian. The actor portrayed Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones, which is evidence that Boba survived that gigantic alien’s stomach after all.
According to the website, the series should begin filming as early as next week, even before the production of the third season of The Mandalorian begins.
The project existed for a long time as a film, but after the negative reception of Han Solo: A Star Wars Story, Disney reconsidered how best to bring it to life. With the company’s new focus on Disney +, it seems quite natural for the bounty hunter to return in an exclusive series from the streaming network.
