And then there’s 4-LOM, Zuckuss, Bossk, IG-88 and Dengar, the bounty hunters Darth Vader hired to track down the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back. While his former mentor Aurra Sing is apparently dead – Tobias Beckett said in Solo: A Star Wars Story that he’d killed her – Cad Bane, another former bounty hunter from The Clone Wars era who's also turned up in The Bad Batch, may still be business. It’ll be interesting to see how many of Fett’s former associates are still in his orbit. So, what follows is a roundup of our predictions for what narrative ground The Book of Boba Fett would cover prior to its release. Since we now know who many of those characters are (given that the show has aired), we've refrained from divulging them below in an effort to avoid spoilers. Given that the show focuses on Boba Fett’s efforts to take control of the crime empire Jabba the Hutt left behind, its setting opens up all sorts of possibilities for Fett to interact with characters old and new, good and bad.
Presumably, Fett and Fennec Shand jetted off to Tatooine after Din Djarin handed Grogu over to Luke Skywalker, which ties in nicely with Favreau's comments. We know, for example, that the famous Jabba’s Palace coda must have taken place after the events of The Mandalorian season 2, because Boba Fett is wearing the iconic armor Mando recovered from Cobb Vanth in Mos Pelgo in The Marshal. However, it’s more likely that “right after” was just a figure of speech, and Favreau was loosely referring to the time period where The Mandalorian already operates – some five years after the events of Return of the Jedi. Some speculated that Jon Favreau’s December 2020 comments to GMA – confirming that The Mandalorian spin-offs will be set “right after” Return of the Jedi – meant The Book of Boba Fett would kick off in the immediate aftermath of the second Death Star’s destruction. Boba Fett and Fennec Shand take their places on Jabba's old throne.
