The Book of Boba Fett teases a war that will come to Tatooine following the death of Jabba the Hutt. Boba Fett and his partner Fennec Shand look to take over the underworld with the seat left wide open.
Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett will pick up right after where Boba's story ended on The Mandalorian. Boba will be trying to take over the criminal underworld on Tatooine and reclaim his stake in the galaxy. The character isn't classified as a villain or a hero, but the Book of Boba Fett teaser suggests he will rule with objectivity and fairness. It's clear that Boba Fett is in more touch with his morals than Jabba the Hutt ever was.
The war teased in the short trailer is a result of Jabba's death. With the throne wide open for the taking, everybody is fighting for their claim to the leadership of Tatooine's criminal underworld. Boba Fett and Fennec Shand evidently take the throne based on what was shown in the trailer (as well as the closing moments of The Mandalorian season 2) and it looks like the Tattooine population isn't taking kindly to them having the power.
It's clear everybody on the planet is just fighting for scraps, as Jabba had the throne for a while and nobody was able to successfully take it from him. Now that the Hutt they feared is deceased, the residents want to act like they deserve or can handle the power. If they didn't take it while Jabba was alive or were too scared to do so, then they won't be able to do anything with a killer like Boba Fett in charge.
Jabba ruled through fear. Boba looks to rule through diplomacy, fairness, and objectivity. But if he wants to rule over a population like this, then the bounty hunter may want to consider utilizing his gunslinging skills to keep the rebellion at bay. Once they see how deadly Boba is, there may never be anyone to fight against him. Jabba used guards, rancors, and hired guns to do the dirty work. It makes a huge difference when the person on the throne can do much more than all three combined.
Fans are excited to see what the new show will bring. Boba Fett is a under utilized character in the world of Star Wars. Boba Fett debuted and was thought to be dead in the original Star Wars trilogy. Fortunately, there was more than what met the eye and the bounty hunter is back with his own television series.
The Book of Boba Fett will be available on Disney Plus on December 29, 2021.
