We are just 33 days away from the arrival of The Book of Boba Fett and this months issue of Empire Magazine has – as usual – turned out to be a treat as a new image lands, showing a hulking Gamorrean and a silent Fennec Shand standing back as Boba Fett talks with an unnamed Twi’lek played by Jennifer Beals of Flashdance fame.
The possibilities for The Book of Boba Fett and the wider era are delicious. Could we be seeing the Omega to Boba’s Alpha, Fett’s ‘sister’ who we met as a youngster in The Bad Batch (and interracted with Fennec Shand don’t forget) who would presumably now be in her 40’s, or more of the history of a younger Fett and his father, the legendary Jango Fett. Perhaps other familiar bounty hunters will enter the storyline? Bossk, IG-88, 4-LOM, Zuckuss and Dengar are around, as well as Beilert Valance from the current Bounty Hunters comic as well as War of the Bounty Hunters? Crimson Dawn are back, while the Emperor’s post Endor plans are still gestating out in the Unknown Regions, leading to the sequel trilogy, which will surely see more expansion soon enough. We’ll start to piece it all together on 29th December when The Book of Boba Fett lands on the East Platform.
