A newStar Warsrumor is speculating that Bossk, the lizard-like bounty hunter, will be returning to the universe in the upcoming Disney+ seriesThe Book of Boba Fett. Lrmonline.com reports that Bossk will indeed be appearing in the show, which would make a lot of sense if true. While the rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, Bossk’s appearance would align with the direction of the show, given that it will focus on a couple of bounty hunters. Let’s dive into the rumor as well as some surrounding theories about the Boba Fett series.
WhenThe Book of Boba Fettwas announced at the end ofThe MandalorianSeason 2, dozens of fan theories exploded online wondering who could appear on the show alongside Boba Fett. The most obvious theories have centered on classic bounty hunters as Boba Fett has had extensive experience with those characters. Some theories have speculated that Cad Bane - who debuted onStar Wars: The Clone Wars- would appear, but no reputable source has yet to confirm it. However, it seems that Bossk will most likely show up after more than one news source has reported it. Boba Fett has a lot of history with the Trandoshan, so it’s easy to believe the rumor.
Bosskfirst appeared inStar Wars: The Empire Strikes Backwith a quick cameo where he was shown alongside several other bounty Hunters who were tasked in finding the Millennium Falcon. After that film, however, Bossk would not show up in aStar Warsproject untilThe Clone Warsanimated series, which gave him a more in depth backstory. During the show, Bossk and Boba Fett worked together along with Aurra Sing and Castas (other bounty hunters), and they did several missions together. In fact, Bossk served as a teenage Boba Fett’s bodyguard for a time, so they are well accustomed. Bossk’s fate sinceThe Empire Strikes Backhas never been discussed in anyStar Warsproject, soThe Book of Boba Fettwould be a smart and welcome series for him to re-enter the universe.
This is just one of many rumors surroundingThe Book of Boba Fettseries as many other classic characters have been thrown around as potential cameos.Cobb Vanth, played by Timothy Olyphant inThe Mandalorian, has been heavily rumored to appear as well as the Mandalorian himself, Pedro Pascal. Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Baby Yoda are some long shot rumors as well, butStar Warsfans should probably not get their hopes up for any of those. Given the secretive nature of filming, however, it’s certainly possible that producers Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have crafted some pretty wild cameos, much like Luke Skywalker inThe MandalorianSeason 2 finale. Only time will tell.
The Book of Boba Fettis currently confirmed to star Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett and Ming-Na Wen asFennec Shand. Although no release date has yet been given, the series will debut on Disney+ sometime in Winter 2021 - likely in the month of December. Like previous Dsiney+ shows, it will release episodes weekly.
