Disney Plus has a new mission for Boba Fett.

The streaming service revealed Wednesday that the new live-action Star Wars series featuring the galactic bounty hunter will debut on December 29th. A new poster depicting Fett on the former throne of Bib Fortuna in Jabba the Hutt’s Tatooine palace was released alongside the announcement.

Disney+ in a statement described The Book of Boba Fett as “a thrilling Star Wars adventure” that “finds legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigating the Galaxy’s underworld when they return to the sands of Tatooine to stake their claim on the territory once ruled by Jabba the Hutt and his crime syndicate.”

The live-action Lucasfilm-produced Star Wars series will star Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen.

The Book of Boba Fett is executive produced by The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau, along with Dave Filoni, Robert Rodriguez, Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson. Karen Gilchrist and Carrie Beck serve as co-executive producers, with John Bartnicki producing and John Hampian as co-producer.

News of the series was first revealed via a post-credits scene in the Season 2 finale of the Pedro Pascal-led The Mandalorian last December. It came as quite a shock to fans, who at the time had just received a heap of Star Wars announcements out of Disney Investor Day 2020, including orders for spinoffs Rangers of the New Republic and Ahsoka, led by Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano.

“We wanted to hold this back because we didn’t want to spoil the surprise during the big Disney announcement of all the shows when Kathleen Kennedy was up there. And so they let me keep this one a secret,” Favreau said when explaining the strategy after the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian.

The Mandalorian could be considered the linchpin in the Disney+ lineup. It premiered alongside the service in 2019 and has been a big reason the rookie service gained 116 million subscribers in under two years.

Favreau said at that time that The Book of Boba Fett and the third season of Mandalorian would be linked because they place in the same timeline, but would still be different projects, despite Fett’s appearance in the game-changing Mandalorian Season 2 finale’ post-credits scene.

“So this is actually separate from The Mandalorian Season 3,” Favreau said last December. “But what we didn’t say in that announcement is that the next show coming up, Kathy said the ‘next chapter,’ and that’s going to be The Book of Boba Fett and then we go into production right after that on Season 3 of The Mandalorian, back with the main character that we all have known and loved. So that’s going to be pretty soon following that. So were working on that pre-production now, while we’re in production on Boba Fett.”

The premiere date for Mandalorian season three has yet to be announced.
