After Luke Skywalker\u2019s mind-blowing cameo appearance, The Mandalorian<\/em>\u2019s second-season finale still had one more surprise up its sleeve after the end credits. In a post-credits scene, Boba Fett and Fennec Shand arrive at Jabba the Hutt\u2019s old palace on Tatooine, whose throne has since been claimed by Bib Fortuna. They kill everybody in there, then Boba drags Bib off the throne and takes it for himself.\u00a0A title card then teased another Star Wars<\/em> spin-off series<\/a> titled The Book of Boba Fett<\/strong><\/em> for release on Disney Plus in December 2021.<\/p>\n

No details have been revealed about the series beyond Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen starring as Boba and Fennec, but the fact that Boba is digging into his pre-Sarlacc history and taking the helm of Tatooine\u2019s criminal underworld seems to suggest that it\u2019ll be a revenge story that sees a re-armored Boba settling all his scores across the galaxy. The titular \u201cbook\u201d could be a list of names of people who have wronged him in the past, a la Kill Bill<\/em><\/a>, that he\u2019ll check off throughout the series as he confronts his enemies.<\/p>\n

Jon Favreau\u2019s creation of The Mandalorian<\/em> has drawn a lot of influence from the western genre. The Book of Boba Fett<\/em> should stay in this vein, because Boba is a similarly ice-cool gunslinger<\/a> and Lucas has always been influenced by westerns, but it can take inspiration from a different subgenre of the vast catalogue of movies set in the Old West. Whereas The Mandalorian<\/em> is a deconstruction of Star Wars’\u00a0<\/em>myth-making inspired by revisionist westerns like The Wild Bunch<\/em>, The Book of Boba Fett<\/em> can offer a bleaker, more violent look at those myths in the style of spaghetti westerns.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Pioneered by Italian directors like Sergio Leone and Sergio Corbucci, spaghetti westerns often revolved around a revenge story<\/a>. In Django<\/em>, the title character wants to avenge his murdered lover Mercedes Zaro. In Death Rides a Horse<\/em>, Bill Meceita spends his entire life training to avenge his murdered family. In Navajo Joe<\/em>, Joe sets out to avenge his entire massacred tribe. In this spirit, The Book of Boba Fett<\/em> can see its badass eponymous bounty hunter scouring the galaxy for his various nemeses.<\/p>\n

Boba\u2019s quest for revenge would be a great way to bring back some fan-favorite Star Wars characters<\/a>, because the people who have wronged him happen to include a few icons that fans are dying to see return. For starters, the first person Boba might want to track down to dole out some vigilante justice is Han Solo. On Jabba\u2019s barge, a semi-blinded Han accidentally set off Boba\u2019s jetpack and sent him careening into the Sarlacc Pit. It was just a clumsy mistake, but Boba doesn\u2019t know that, he and Han already had a long-standing rivalry, and the pain of being devoured by the Sarlacc was still very real, regardless of the exact circumstances of how he ended up there.<\/p>\n

An appearance by a post-Return of the Jedi<\/em> Han in The Book of Boba Fett<\/em> could rival post-Return of the Jedi<\/em> Luke\u2019s appearance in The Mandalorian<\/em>. It would interesting to explore Han\u2019s role in the foundation of the New Republic, even if it\u2019s just briefly in the context of Boba seeking revenge against him. The two iconic gunslingers could engage in a climactic shootout, like the ending of countless classic westerns, from Shane<\/em> to High Noon<\/em> to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly<\/em>. It\u2019s unlikely that Harrison Ford would return to the role of Han and be de-aged to his \u201880s-era self, but Lucasfilm already has a great young Han in Alden Ehrenreich. Ehrenreich\u2019s pitch-perfect performance was undermined by a flimsy, muddled script<\/a> in Solo: A Star Wars Story<\/em>. He could get a second shot at doing the character justice with a supporting role in The Book of Boba Fett<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Mace Windu decapitated Jango Fett during the Battle of Geonosis \u2013 right in front of a young Boba. From the Jedi\u2019s perspective, it\u2019s a glorious moment of heroism, but from Boba\u2019s perspective, it\u2019s essentially the opening scene of Death Rides a Horse<\/em>. Windu killed Boba\u2019s only family in the world<\/a> when he was still just a kid. In The Clone Wars<\/em>, this evolved into a general resentment toward the Jedi, but in The Book of Boba Fett<\/em>, it could lead to a full-on vengeful crusade against Windu himself.<\/p>\n

Samuel L. Jackson has been eager to return to the role of Windu<\/a> since Disney acquired Lucasfilm, but aside from Grogu reaching out to all the Jedi in the galaxy via the Force, there\u2019s never been a clear way to bring him back. Canonically, Windu survived the fall on Coruscant. Both Jackson and George Lucas consider it that way, and Windu was seen to survive much bigger falls in The Clone Wars<\/em>. In The Book of Boba Fett<\/em>, Boba could track down a weary, aging Windu \u2013 withered by Palpatine\u2019s Force lightning attack and grizzled from years of living helplessly under the Empire \u2013 like Captain Willard tracking down Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now<\/em>, culminating in a breathtaking final showdown.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a promising sign that Robert Rodriguez, who directed Boba\u2019s triumphant return to action in The Mandalorian<\/em>\u2019s \u201cChapter 14: The Tragedy,\u201d is signed on as an executive producer for The Book of Boba Fett<\/em>. From Machete<\/em> to the Mexico trilogy, Rodriguez\u2019s filmography<\/a> is filled with action-packed revenge thrillers whose themes he could easily transfer to a galaxy far, far away.<\/p>\n
