SFX Magazine Reveals New Details About The Book of Boba Fett, Morrison Says He Relied on Filoni To Keep the Mystery of the Character Alive

After being the main focus of next month's Empire magazine issue, The Book of Boba Fett is also having the spotlight on another magazine, SFX Magazine, which just came out. Issue 347 features a few interesting details about the new series, as well as quotes from the two lead performers.



For starters, Ming-Na Wen, who plays the lead female role of Fennec Shand, the character that was previously introduced in both seasons of The Mandalorian, says the show will “delve more into the life of bounty hunters.” She went on to add:

In the story, the writer also points out that Boba Fett's ship has been officially rebranded as Firespray -- its previous name was Slave I, and Disney has been taking it out of toys and merchandising for a while, eventually culminating in the current canonical rebranding.







One of the show's biggest challenges might be to keep some of the decades-long mystery around the lead character, and that was the reason many were apprehensive about even making a project centered around Boba Fett. Morrison addressed this issue:

In the vein of the mystique of the character, we also have the fact that there are many unanswered questions about him, and what he's been doing for the past number of years. In canon, there are five years between the events of Return of the Jedi and The Mandalorian, and we know very little about what Boba Fett did in between both stories. We saw him go into the Sarlacc pit at the beginning of Jedi, and then magically reappear in Mandalorian. Will we find out what happened in between? Morrison said the following:

We exclusively told you three months ago that in the series Boba will be in full revenge mode, going after those who did him wrong in the past. Morrison also told Rotten Tomatoes that there will be flashbacks in the show to the Empire Strikes Back era, which reinforces the idea that we'll be getting a lot of answers to the questions fans have been asking for four decades.
