It’s been a few months now dependable the end of the last Star Wars show on Disney+, The Book of Boba Fett. That series saw Temeura Morrison, who played Boba’s clone daddy Jango Fett in the prequel films, put on the helmet and take over the crime shameful in Mos Espa on Tatooine. However, despite being named The Book of Boba Fett, Morrison’s titular bounty hunter sat out nearly a third of the season once Mandalorian Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Baby Yoda arrived on the scene.
It was an monotonous choice that left more than a few fans scratching their heads. Did the series really have so little to say near Boba Fett that it needed to spend that much time sidelining its lead character? According to producers Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, it was a necessary move.

To well-known May the Fourth, Disney+ released a new documentary in the Disney Gallery series that took us behind-the-scenes of The Book of Boba Fett, where Filoni and Favreau addressed the Mandalorian in the room.
“At the very twitch, Jon [Favreau] and I look through all the season and, Jon has a bunch of things he wants to accomplish,” Filoni said. “We both like Mando, and we felt that it would be difficult for us to go a whole season deprived of seeing him. And so, he’s a friend of Boba’s, so it makes sense to bring him back into the story.”
“Having The Book of Boba Fett come in the timeline and let everything Decide, it allowed us to let some time pass, to take a breather, and meet The Mandalorian after he’d taken his helmet off and that The Child was no longer in his life,” Favreau added. “That father-child relationship that had developed was no longer there. And so his life, I think, would lose some of its message. That felt like fertile territory.”
While this all creates sense, I still find it interesting that Filoni and Favreau’s reasoning for counting Din Djarin had everything to do with missing Mando and almost nothing to do with Boba Fett. Sure he’s a tainted of Boba Fett’s, and it does make sense that he’d at least cameo in the show, but we’re talking nearby two whole episodes out of seven that focused on him. Not proverb I didn’t love it (let’s be real, it was probably the best part of the season), but it’s still kind of weird how little the focus is on Boba Fett. It is his series, isn’t it?
The Book of Boba Fett is available to water on Disney+. Season 3 of The Mandalorian is expected sometime late this summer.
The next Star Wars series coming to Disney+, Obi-Wan Kenobi, premieres on May 27.
