Official word of separate show, not Season 3.

Per Favreau on GMA this morning:
“Boba Fett is already filming, and then we go into production after that with Season 3 of The Mandalorian.”

@Disney: The Book of Boba Fett, a new Original Series, starring Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen and executive produced by Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and Robert Rodriguez, set within the timeline of The Mandalorian, is coming to @DisneyPlus Dec. 2021. https://t.co/CuafTOa0fK

Hopefully he gets his Vette early on in the series.

I wonder if this will be more action oriented with Robert Rodriguez on as a producer?

Why So Blu?

Wow, so RR will be on as a producer. Dude is coming up!

So then this is the show that will premiere next December. I had heard that Mandalorian would also be released in December of 2021. Is that still the case?

Kennedy said at the Investor’s Event that the “next chapter” would premiere December 2021. Favreau clarified that the next chapter would be this. There hasn’t been a definitive answer on when S3 will premiere but Favreau said pretty soon following this. Though some trades are saying both will be Dec 2021, but I think that is confusion from the info between the two announcements.

I'd prefer not to have both shows on at the same time. Disney might as well drag out the airings and make me subscribe longer

I'm not a fan of the the show's title, but not a big deal. Loving all the Star Wars content.

Given where they placed him at the end of the season I assume they have an idea for the show beyond Boba Fett looks cool and is popular. That is encouraging.

Edited to add...plus I'll never turn down an opportunity for more Ming-Na Wen.

Can’t wait to see Danny Trejo pop up in some episodes.

Maybe with a story arc that ends with his severed head glued on the back of a Womp Rat.

I was never a Boba Fett fanboy, and if this were any other team making this story, I would be leery. But I think this group has a good idea where to go with this kind of thing.

Looking forward to this and long time Boba Fett fan. I love when he beams in and uses The Force...

They should get Lee Tamahori to direct an episode or two.

When most actors her age are struggling to find work or staying in the business, I’m just so happy for Ming Na Wen.

Giantrobo

For me she is a big draw for the new show. Very happy for her.

Not exactly sure why there was some confusion with some people thinking this was going to be season three of The Mandalorian. Season three of Mando had been announced already and the end card seemed to make it clear that it was something separate.

Either way I’m looking forward to this show. Part of me still wouldn’t mind if Boba just stayed a semi regular on The Mandalorian instead of getting a solo show.

dex14

Season 3 hadn’t been officially announced previously.

Plus, there was some moderately followed YouTube person peddling bullshit rumors about the show and drama about Pedro.

What was the name of the crime syndicate that Maul was running in Solo? If I had to bet money I’d say that seems like a natural direction to take this. They could be rivals, or part of what Boba takes over. There’s still story to be told there, possibly even a return of Emelia Clarke’s character.

milo bloom

That was Crimson Dawn, not sure if it's still around 20 year later, but possible.

dex14

Crimson Dawn.

Maul would be dead by this point though.

Lucas’ plans for the ST did have Maul still running the crime organization though, so they could repurpose part of that with Boba.

windom

They should let Josh Trank direct an episode.

And James Mangold.
