The Book of Boba Fett (2021) Trailer Review

Ever since The Mandalorian season 2 finished I have been anticipating the return to the Star Wars live action world and finally we have a trailer for the upcoming series The Book of Boba Fett. Boba Fett is one of the most underused characters in the Star Wars universe and finally we are going to see a show where he is given centre stage. The trailer came out yesterday and here are the main things that I noticed. 

Boba Fett has officially taken over Jabba The Hutt's empire

In the post credit scene of The Mandalorian season 2, we saw Boba Fett kill Bib Fortuna and sit in the throne that belonged to Jabba The Hutt. The trailer makes it clear that Boba no longer sees himself as a Bounty Hunter but as this criminal leader and he inherits the issues with that as well.

He is looking to unite the criminal organisations

The trailer makes it clear that Boba does not want to rule like Jabba, he wants to unite the criminal empires through respect. We have seen these criminal organisations such as Crimson Dawn and The Pike Syndicate in other films and shows so it will be interesting to see if they get involved in the show. 

Boba seems to have healed up since The Mandalorian. 

When we meet Boba in The Mandalorian, he was looking a bit pale and weak physically even when he got his famous armour back. But here he looks reinvigorated and back to his brutal and fighting self which is great to see. 

Boba and Fennec are going to be fun to watch

We saw Boba Fett and Fennec Shand team up in The Mandalorian Season 2 and they are back together in this show with her being his closest ally. From the small scenes we have seen Morrison and Ming-Na Wen have great chemistry and I can't wait to see the two of them working together, more on screen. 

We could see how Boba escaped The Sarlacc

It was never completely addressed how Boba Fett survived his apparent demise in Return of The Jedi but we could see it here. We see a shot of Tusken Raiders and Boba had a Gaffi Stick in The Mandalorian so it is a possibility that they help rescue him. 

Basically The Godfather in space

Already since the trailer has been revealed the comparison to The Godfather has been there and it is pretty apt. Boba is clearly going to face resistance, though we aren't exactly sure who the antagonists of the show is and whether it will link to the greater Star Wars universe.

Overall 

Overall, This trailer for The Book Of Boba Fett doesn't exactly reveal too much but it sets the tone and does a really good job at that and I am really looking forward to watching this show ever week.
