It looks like The Book of Boba Fett may have been the last time we see Boba Fett in the Star Wars franchise, as star Temuera Morrison reveals that the spin-off show’s bad reception is the reason why he won’t be in the upcoming movie The Mandalorian & Grogu.
“This show’s reception does seem to have impacted the future of the character in the franchise,” said Boba Fett actor Temuera Morrison at Fan Expo Chicago after confirming his character won’t appear in the Mandalorian movie, as reported by Screen Rant. Morrison later added that he also hasn’t received an update on The Book of Boba Fett regarding a possible season 2, suggesting season 1 could well have been the last time we saw his character.
They are rushing to overly-dramatic conclusions, but it does seem that The Book of Boba Fett has had a negative impact on the future viability of a fan-favourite character.
Lucasfilm might want to ponder that before banging out another weak series.
It’s a baffling trend. Among myriad other issues, Disney paces their shows like the season has 20 episodes, and then just end everything half way through. It’s immensely dissatisfying.
