...and there's a Mandalorian thread as well. Separate threads are always made for shows and movies so spoilers can be discussed upon release.

Ah, well I'll eagerly await those spoilers in 2 months when the show actually airs then.
Until then, semper fi!
I’ve always felt Boba Fett was the most overrated and overhyped character in all of Star Wars… and then The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian gave him a personality. Now he is more than just a cool suit of armor and a cool ship, he’s a full-blown cool character. And this show is gonna let him be that cool character.
Alongside the
Ahsoka
series,
The Book of Boba Fett
will take place in the era five or so years after
Return of the Jedi
. For lack of an official name, we’ll call it the New Republic era. In an echo to the early Expanded Universe novels, games, and comics, it is a time when the newly established Republic faces a lot of backlash from Imperial enclaves and plenty of internal tensions the Rebel Alliance set aside to combat the Empire.
That issue will likely be covered more closely in
Ahsoka
or the third season of
The Mandalorian
, but it will also factor into
Fett
as organized crime is constant in the
Star Wars
galaxy, as is the central government’s inability (or apathy) to police it. We’ll hazard a guess that a show more focused on scum and villainy made a standalone
Fett
series attractive to Favreau and Filoni as they devised
the
Mandalorian
spinoffs — well, assuming the series is just about Fett becoming the godfather of space. As we’ve already seen, he is a man of his word, and it is possible the resources of the Hutt criminal enterprise could be utilized in some other goal.
