Our fave bounty hunter takes on Tatooine’s underworld in Book of Boba Fett trailer
Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen star in a new original Star Wars series, The Book of Boba Fett, coming next month to Disney+.
The S2 finale of The Mandalorian included a tantalizing post-credits scene that served as an announcement for a spinoff series, The Book of Boba Fett.
