What’s Next for Boba Fett?

It’s been over three years since fans last saw the legendary bounty hunter in action during the finale of The Book of Boba Fett, which aired in February 2022. The Disney+ spin-off series received mixed reviews, with many fans feeling that it toned down the menace of the iconic character. Despite the divisive reception, many still wonder if Boba Fett’s story is truly over.

The Uncertain Future of the Character

Since then, there has been little official news about a second season or any future appearances for Boba Fett. Lucasfilm has remained tight-lipped, and the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu film might be the next big opportunity for the character to return to the big screen. Fans are left asking: Will there be a The Mandalorian Season 4? And will Boba Fett feature in it? At this point, nothing has been confirmed.

Temuera Morrison’s Reflections and Hints

Actor Temuera Morrison, who portrays Boba Fett, recently shared his thoughts about his character’s future. During an interview with Collider to promote his new film, Ka Whawhai Tonu (In The Fire of War), the 64-year-old New Zealander admitted he feels “sad” about not having reprised Boba Fett since the end of The Book of Boba Fett.

Expressing His Desire for More

He openly questioned the absence of a second season: “Where is The Book of Boba Fett Season 2? Where the hell is it? I know they’re working on Ahsoka Season 2. I keep thinking, ‘Hey, where’s my season?’” Morrison expressed his disappointment and longing for more of the character’s story.

Proposing a Role in Ahsoka

Interestingly, Morrison revealed that he pitched the idea of Boba Fett appearing in Ahsoka Season 2, jokingly asking if he could be Rex and take off his helmet. He pointed out that he is not only Boba Fett but also the clone upon which the character is based, emphasizing his versatility and longstanding connection to the franchise.

Recent Encounters and Hints of Return

He mentioned recent conversations with Star Wars creatives Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, where he reminded them that Boba Fett still exists. Morrison noted that their responses were non-committal, saying only, “Well, well,” and leaving the topic open. He described the interaction as feeling like “a preserved jar of peaches on the shelf,” waiting for the right moment to be rediscovered and enjoyed later.

Is Morrison Teasing a Comeback?

While Morrison may be playing coy, it’s widely believed that he will return to the Star Wars universe in some capacity. The franchise has a history of surprising fans with unexpected reveals, as seen with Rosario Dawson’s surprise appearance as Ahsoka Tano and Mark Hamill’s return as Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian.

What Has Been Said About Future Projects?

Unfortunately, recent comments suggest that there might not be immediate plans for Boba Fett. Morrison previously explained that the lukewarm reception of The Book of Boba Fett impacted the character’s future prospects. During a panel at Fan Expo Chicago, he mentioned that Disney hadn’t approached him about appearing in upcoming projects, including The Mandalorian & Grogu film or a second season of his own show.

How the Reception Affected Boba Fett’s Path

The Book of Boba Fett series, which chronicled Fett’s escape from the Sarlacc Pit and his reign as a crime lord, was among the least well-received Star Wars shows. Morrison noted that the negative feedback likely influenced the franchise’s decision to steer away from further Boba Fett stories for now.

His Continued Enthusiasm for the Franchise

Despite the uncertain future, Morrison has made it clear he remains passionate about Star Wars. He has expressed his desire to revisit the character, hoping to see Boba Fett feature prominently in future episodes of The Mandalorian or other projects. Morrison’s longstanding commitment to the role underscores his belief that Boba Fett still has plenty of stories to tell.
