Warning there will be spoilers ahead for Star Wars movies and TV shows which include Boba Fett in this article.
With the Book of Boba Fett trailer recently releasing, there's no better time to start discussing what could happen. To kick off the first episode of the series (airing on December 29th), Fortnite will be releasing a Boba fett skin, which will be released on the 24th December.
With such an iconic character such as Boba Fett, there are bound to be some returning characters from his past. One of the confirmed characters returning will be the deadly assassin/bounty hunter Fennec Shand who made her debut in The Mandalorian, becoming Boba Fett’s companion after saving her on Tatooine. We can also expect a cameo from Boba Fett’s mentor Cad Bane as he played a big part in Bobas upbringing. Whilst it is still uncertain whether Cad Bane is alive or not, one thing's for certain: Boba didn’t actually kill Bane when they faced off in an unfinished episode of the Clone Wars, in which Bane was thought to have died after giving Boba his iconic dent on his helmet. But, as revealed in the bad batch, this was not the case as he returns to complete a bounty on Omega. Even if he was dead, he could still appear in a flashback or at least his name will be mentioned. Another character who could possibly return is Din Djarin (The Mandolorian) as they worked together a lot throughout season 2 of The Mandalorian.
Now, for a quick overview (from the information gathered so far) on what the series will focus on. The main focal point of this series will be Boba and his mercenary Fennec Shand navigating their way through the galaxy's crime underworld rebuilding Jabba the Hutt’s old territory lost long ago when he was killed by Leia in Return Of The Jedi. It will also involve the pair forming alliances with Jabba’s old contacts and creating a reputation by rebuilding Jabba's empire. I do suspect however, that being Star Wars, this will probably not be the only thing going on - judging from other Star Wars series, there is never one thing going on at any given time.
For anyone who hasn’t been caught up with Boba Fetts life, here is a quick summary. He was a clone of a bounty hunter called Jango Fett who was decapitated by Mace Windu in the geonosian arena in the battle of geonosis. He then starts a crime organisation joining many other bounty hunters as well. He attempts to kill Mace Windu multiple times failing to do so every time. His mentors were the now deceased Aurra Sing and Cad Bane who as of now is still alive. He then works for Jabba, quickly becoming his top bounty hunter, then thought to be dead when he is knocked into the sarlacc pit (a monster on Tatooine) by Han Solo. Luckily for him however he survives this traumatic experience finding Fennec shand who by this time had been shot by a blaster and saved her life by replacing some of her organs with robotic parts. Then he collects his armour from Din Djarin helping him save Grogu from Moff Gideon. After that it is seen that Bib Fortuna (Jabba's right hand man) had also survived the ordeal and had taken over from Jabba, the reunion did not last long however as he was quickly killed by Boba who proceeded to take the throne from Bib Fortuna and that is everything that happened up until now.
Whether this series will include the characters that I suspect will return or not, one thing is for sure: this series will be amazing. All Boba Fett fans can’t deny that they are dying for the first episode of this series to air.
