Disney+ has dropped the official trailer for The Book of Boba Fett, Lucasfilm‘s latest series that was first announced in the end-credit sequence after the season two finale of The Mandalorian.
The trailer plays into the The Madalorian‘s mixture of past and present, making several mentions of characters, names and places from the original film and introducing a new underworld plot that will be added to the franchise.
The series “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,” according to Disney’s official synopsis.
Temuera Morrison will return under the Mandalorian helmet as Boba Fett and Ming-Na Wen will play Fennec Shand. Wen first played the role in season one of The Mandalorian, before voice acting for the part in the animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
The Book of Boba Fett is directed by Robert Rodriguez, as well as Jon Favreau, Bryce Dallas Howard and Dave Filoni, while Filoni, Rodriguez, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson are executive producing the series.
The show will premiere on Disney+ on December 29. Watch the official trailer above.
