An alleged description of a scene fromThe Book of Boba Fetthas surfaced online.The Book of Boba Fettwill be a spin-off series that picks up after the events ofThe Mandalorianseason 2 and follows the famous bounty hunter from the original iconicStar Warsmovie trilogy.
Boba Fett is a Bounty Hunter and son of the famous Jango Fett, who was one of the best sharpshooters in theStar Warslore. Jango’s DNA was used for the clone trooper initiative inStar Wars: Attack of the Clones.However, while the clone army troops had genetic mutations to increase their growth rate and alter their skills, Boba Fett was created as a clone without any modifications.

According to the allegedBook of Boba Fettscene leaks, the bounty hunter will be facing off against the rancor in his upcoming series. For those who don’t know, the rancor is a building-sized alien that is carnivorous and deadly. StarWarsNews.Net reports, “Boba Fett will be encountering and quite possibly taming/controlling a rancor.” The source, however, wasn’t sure if this would be a fight scene or just a transportation scene where he uses the monster to get around. They do, however, say fans will see Boba Fett, “standing on the back of the Rancor’s neck, and it looks like he’s riding and controlling it as it tears through a complex/city street on what is likely Tatooine.”
This scene is definitely different, to say the least. Not many have the ability to fight the rancor and survive.Luke Skywalker foughtone inStar Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, but he was only able to just barely pull through. If Boba can do this, then many fans would finally see him display the skillset that makes him the feared bounty hunter that he is. Thought to have been killed inStar Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, Boba Fett survived and made his way throughout the galaxy forging his own path. This series looks to be following him after the events of his re-introduction duringThe Mandalorian,but fans shouldn’t be surprised if they see some flashbacks or scenes showing what he’s been up to prior to his onscreen return.
Despite being a fan favorite,Boba Fett has received poor treatmentin terms of writing and displaying his skills. The character was predominantly silent during the originalStar Warsmovies, but he was regarded as a skilled fighter. Other than that, he wasn’t shown to be anything too dangerous, especially after he was thought to have been killed by a disoriented Han Solo, who couldn’t even see straight.
One of the galaxy’s deadliest bounty hunters gets ‘killed’ by somebody who just woke up from a frozen carbon prison and couldn’t use his eyes fully, which did not please fans. Here’s to hopingTheBook of Boba Fettseriesgives the character the treatment that’s been long overdue. This series needs to show fans why someone like Darth Vader hired him in the first place.
The Book of Boba Fettis releasing on Disney Plus on December 29th, 2021.
