ND Stevenson, showrunner of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, has written and drawn a fan comic inspired by The Book of Boba Fett.Titled This Place Was Home, the comic sees Boba Fett discussing his childhood with Fennec Shand. Through flashbacks, readers see a young Boba growing up in the Kamino cloning facility where the only people he interacted with were his father, Jango Fett, and Zam Wesell, a shapeshifting bounty hunter who frequently worked alongside Jango. Stevenson shared the comic on Twitter before posting the complete story to Substack. "In some ways it is extremely loose with Star Wars lore," they explained. "In other ways it is exhaustively researched. It takes place during a period of time only hinted at by the canon. Everyone swears. Hopefully you will have fun reading it whether or not you are a Star Wars fan!"
Stevenson first gained fame for their fantasy webcomic Nimona, which was later published as a complete graphic novel by HarperCollins. They have since gone on to write for cartoon series like Wander Over Yonder, DuckTales and Big Hero 6. Their biggest claim to fame remains She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, a remake of the 1980s cartoon that ran for five seasons on Netflix. She-Ra quickly became popular among animation fans for its story, animation, humor and LGBT representation. Stevenson is currently shepherding an animated adaptation of Lumberjanes, an Eisner-winning adventure comic they co-created with Grace Ellis, Shannon Watters and Brooklyn A. Allen for BOOM! Studios.
While The Book of Boba Fett received mixed reviews from critics, it seems to have struck a chord with Star Wars fans and achieved higher viewership numbers than its predecessor, The Mandalorian. At this time, it's unknown if The Book of Boba Fett will get a second season, though co-star Ming-Na Wen (who plays Fennec) is hopeful for a renewal. Temuera Morrison, who plays Boba Fett and played Jango in Attack of the Clones, has expressed interest in a story where Boba gets revenge on Mace Windu, the Jedi Knight who killed his father.
Other Star Wars live-action series currently filming include Obi-Wan Kenobi, which will explore the Jedi's time on Tatooine after Revenge of the Sith, and Andor, a "rousing spy thriller" starring Diego Luna's rebel officer before the events of Rogue One. In addition, Lucasfilm is developing a series focused on Ahsoka Tano, Lando Calrissian and a female-led series taking place during the High Republic era called The Acolyte.
The Book of Boba Fett is available to stream on Disney+.
