‘The Book Of Boba Fett’ Crew Gear Seemingly Confirms Working Title Of ‘Buccaneer’
A series of exclusive images of crew production gear from The Book Of Boba Fett seems to have cleared up a mystery on the working title of The Mandalorian season three.
For a while, there has been speculation that the working title of The Mandalorian season three was Buccaneer. All Star Wars productions use false titles to be as inconspicuous as possible during production (The Last Jedi used Space Bear). Now a series of images from the Boba Fett Fan Club on Twitter has provided some clarity. It’s actually the working title for The Book Of Boba Fett.
#SpoilerAlert: Before we shared these rumored #TheBookOfBobaFett crew graphics, there was speculation #Buccaneer was the working title for Mando S3 even as of early December – before Boba's show was revealed.

The rumored crew gear in the photos is from the legacy effects creature crew, camera, and ad departments of the production. These were unconfirmed images, but to further add confirmation, the Boba Fett Fan Club added pictures of Boba Fett actor Temuera Morrison wearing a Buccaneer sweatshirt during a signing in April of this year.
#SpoilerAlert: BFFC member alilmothman sent us this photo from Celebrity Marketing's April 2021 signing with Temuera Morrison, where you can see he's wearing a #Buccaneer sweatshirt with the same typesetting, aligning with rumored "Creature Crew" graphic. (2/3) pic.twitter.com/M87heRPkMd

The circumstantial evidence is pretty high on Buccaneer thanks to the rumored crew gear and Morrison’s sweat shirt. Until officially confirmed, it still’s speculation, however. The Mandalorian’s third season working title remains unclear, as does its current status of production. The Book Of Boba Fett is expected to debut on Disney Plus later this year, with The Mandalorian to follow at some point after.
