59 The Book Of Boba Fett: Season 1

Sci-fi series debuts December 29 on Disney+

Temuera Morrison (playing Boba Fett) and Ming-Na Wen (as fellow bounty hunter Fennec Shand) star in a seven-episode spinoff from the hit Star Wars streaming series The Mandalorian that is set (at least in part) on Tatooine. Robert Rodriguez, who directed the Mandalorian episode that saw the return of Fett (a character that was first seen in The Empire Strikes Back—or, if you prefer, the Star Wars Holiday Special), will direct multiple episodes of the new series and serve as a producer alongside Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni (both of whom will also direct episodes, as will fellow Mandalorian director Bryce Dallas Howard).
