Lucasfilm has revealed yet another promo for its upcoming Disney+ original series The Book of Boba Fett, which is slated to premiere in ten days' time on Wednesday, Dec. 29.
The aptly-titled "Authority" promo establishes Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) as the new kingpin of Tatooine's criminal underworld, with the legendary bounty hunter seemingly forming alliances with his fellow ne'er-do-wells. "Do you trust them?" Boba Fett's right-hand woman Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) asks. "I trust them to work in their own self-interest," the bounty hunter replies.
The Book of Boba Fett spins out of the events of The Mandalorian Season 2, which began streaming on Disney+ a little over one year ago. In its second season, The Mandalorian -- which takes place after the events of the original Star Wars film trilogy -- revealed that Boba Fett had indeed survived the events of 1983's Return of the Jedi.
Morrison, who portrayed Jango Fett in 2002's Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, stepped into the role of Boba Fett for Season 2 of The Mandalorian. Following his return, Boba Fett was revealed to have joined forces with mercenary Fennec Shand, who was originally introduced back in The Mandalorian Season 1.
The Mandalorian Season 2 ended on a post-credits stinger, which saw Boba Fett and Fennec Shand venture to Jabba's Palace on Tatooine after aiding Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and company on their quest to retrieve Grogu from the clutches of Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito). Upon his arrival on Tatooine, Boba Fett killed Bib Fortuna (Matthew Wood), who had evidently taken Jabba the Hutt's place following Jabba's death at the hands of Leia Organa in Return of the Jedi. Boba Fett immediately filled that power vacuum, claiming the throne for himself with Fennec at his side.
"The Book of Boba Fett, a thrilling Star Wars adventure teased in a surprise end-credit sequence following the Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, finds legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigating the galaxy's underworld when they return to the sands of Tatooine to stake their claim on the territory once ruled by Jabba the Hutt and his crime syndicate," an official synopsis for the series reads.
The Book of Boba Fett blasts its way onto Disney+ on Dec. 29.
