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 movieThe 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 byScreen 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.
The reaction did come as a shock though seen as Boba Fett is one of Star Wars' most memorable characters, first appearing in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. The bounty hunter was brought back to life by Morrison inThe Mandalorian season 2 episode 1.
However, it seems as though the fan reaction has tainted the character and convinced Morrison that his time as the bounty hunter is over. For now,Disneyis keeping a tight lid on details for The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, with no plotline or cast list revealed at this moment. We can guess that Pedro Pascal will be back as The Mandalorian, though, alongside baby Yoda.
The previous headline paraphrased Morrison’s quote. This has been amended to reflect it was not a direct quote.
