Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau and Temuera Morrison Talk Boba Fett In ‘Return of a Legend’ Featurette
Disney has released new featurette titled Return of a Legend ahead of the highly anticipated premiere of The Book of Boba Fett — Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, and star Temuera Morrison talk about Boba Fett, along with Robert Rodriguez and Ming-Na Wen. The five of them discuss the decision to bring him back and what to expect from the upcoming Disney+ series.
Favreau references the clear influence of Boba Fett when creating The Mandalorian and how bringing Fett on the show felt “very right” to him, while Temuera Morrison teases some things about Fett that the show aims to explore:
We’re gonna find out where he’s been and about how he’s changing.
Favreau then adds that the show will also cover the events between Return of the Jedi and The Mandalorian, and he echoes Morrison’s point that the show will explore what Fett is like since those occurrences.
Ming-Na Wen touches on the show’s “rawness” while Robert Rodriguez praises Favreau’s script, and Morrison teases lots of action too. He professes that “it’s gonna be exciting for the fans to see”. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait much longer, as The Book of Boba Fett is only a week away now, debuting on Wednesday, December 29.
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.
The Book of Boba Fett stars Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen. Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Robert Rodriguez, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson are the executive producers. Karen Gilchrist and Carrie Beck serve as co-executive producers, with John Bartnicki producing and John Hampian serving as co-producer.
