This helmeted and mute warrior was to disappear into the belly of the Sarlacc as quickly as he appeared in Star Wars… Almost 45 years later, he is entitled to his own series on Disney+! Here are 5 good reasons to leaf through The Book of Boba Fett.

1. TO DISCOVER THE DESTINY OF BOBA FETT AFTER RETURN OF THE JEDI
Those who never wondered what happened to Boba Fett after he fell into the Sarlacc’s mouth in Return of the Jedi, raise your finger! Left for dead after a few scenes that made him a cult character in the original Star Wars trilogy, Boba Fett is alive and well… But how did he do it?
The enthusiasm of the fans and the success of the series The Mandalorian will have offered the opportunity to Lucasfilm to resuscitate it, as it is shown from the first chapter available on Disney+.

2. TO DIVE INTO THE UNDERGROUND OF STAR WARS
In The Book of Boba Fett, there is no intergalactic combat or diplomatic emissary: the former bounty hunter has become godfather instead of godfather after the death of Jabba Le Hutt and his successor Bib Fortuna.
The opportunity to discover more about the big mafia families who share the crime in this part of the galaxy: the Hutts, discovered in the original trilogy, the Pyke Syndicate, the criminal organization introduced in the film Solo: A Star Wars Story, but also the order of the Night Wind…

3. FOR ROBERT RODRIGUEZ FANS
After Sin City, Alita: Battle Angel or even Spy Kids, director Robert Rodriguez is not to be outdone. This Star Wars fan had already signed chapter 6 of season 2 of The Mandalorian, the one in which Grogu is kidnapped… And it is this twist that allowed the screenwriters to stage the return of Boba Fett in the Star Wars universe.
If the American has announced that he will produce half of the chapters of the Book of Boba Fett, he also gives voice in the series: he doubles the alien Dokk Strassi at the beginning of chapter 1, but also Mok Shaiz, the famous mayor of Mos Espa in chapter 2.

4. TO DISCOVER THE DAILY LIFE OF THE (NOT SO BAD) TUSKEN
A mysterious people of Tatooine since Episode IV, the Tuskens have often been shown as brutal, uneducated, and rather ill-intentioned. The Boba Fett Book lifts the veil on this civilization by giving it a way of life and traditions that the hero discovers through contact with them.
The public was thus able to see that these fabric-covered creatures, with their eyes hidden behind glasses, have a rich community life, that they compete with other groups to defend the desert and that they have a kind of crocodile sands as a pet!

5. TO MAKE YOUR OWN IDEA ABOUT THE “VESPAS” OF TATOOINE
You couldn’t miss the buzz surrounding the Chapter 3 chase! In addition to the many Easter Eggs in this 3-minute sequence, it is above all the color of the gleaming vehicles driven by Boba Fett’s young allies that makes people react…
As Robert Rodriguez told the magazine The Hollywood Reporter last December, he knowingly chose these colorways to shake up the franchise, before adding: “it will be obvious when you see the show”…
So, conquered?
