It never reaches sequel trilogy levels of OT fanwank, and in many ways it's a fuck you to purists.

The Mandalorian is a love letter to the prequels, The Clone Wars and the Old EU.
It never reaches sequel trilogy levels of OT fanwank, and in many ways it's a fuck you to purists.
Agreed. Great movie
Because the fan base doesn't want it left behind.
We're likely just switching protagonists, now Boba is "The Mandalorian" while Din plays a supporting role.
I fully expect "The Book of Bo-Katan Kryze" to be a thing too.
And having it all tie to the groundwork done by these two seasons

Book of Bo-Katan will be a huge problem for countries where they translated "The Mandalorian" as a masculine noun :/
Wouldn't be the first time the translated title doesn't make sense, looking at you "Los últimos Jedi"
Eh, "Los últimos Jedi" still made sense, it just wasn't Rian's intent apparently
Not sure why people think the book of Boba fett is going to be season 3 of the mandalorian.
It's going to be separate. Probably flash backs to his time as a young bounty hunter or his escape from the sarlaac and then him setting up a new crime empire in jabbas palace. They can introduce new bounty hunter scum or hutts who will work with or fight Boba.
This could be the monster of the week show people ask for. Also show how he met fennec and have Timothy Olyphant come back and interact with them.

Yes. It is literally a theory based on nothing except that they premiere in the same month. Which means even less when you consider that there are like 12 announced shows. And this character was supposed to get a movie. I think they can somehow make enough content to support two shows in the next year. Especially since one character isn't even a Mandalorian, per his own and the word of at least two characters in canon.
Oh, by the way, the most successful show we have? Driving subscriptions for Disney+? Meh, we're done with it. But we'll completely change the cast and premise and see if we can keep the magic going.
Totally possible it could be. I just don't think it is.
Is the show actually called "El Mandaloriano" anywhere? In Spain it appears as The Mandalorian on D+.
It's based off boba fett

ok
Edit: Dumb jokes aside, the article seems speculative and doesn't add anything we haven't already got from the series finale.
The title "The book of boba fett" makes me think it's a limited series, not a new open-ended show.
Might I ask, What do you want from their star wars projects? Personally, I'm happy with whatever they do as long as it has good story telling... Which has been hit or miss in the Disney Era.

Surprise reveal after the credits of The Mandalorian S2 finale. Announced on the same day we lost the original Boba Fett. RIP. https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/jeremy-bulloch-boba-fett-original-star-wars-trilogy-dies-75-n1251620 Update:

I am loving the Mandalorian, so I'm not against all the fan service stuff going on. At the same time, I do hope they give us something totally removed from the main movies at some point. The universe doesn't have to revolve around the Skywalker's and we can have something new without filling it with cameos from OT characters. It just comes across like they are really unsure of themselves at this point that they seem so afraid to step away from what has already been established.

I appreciate this threads attempt to avoid spoilers, unlike that thread title. Not that it is huge, but when I saw that thread my first thought was "welp, I guess Boba Fett survives the finale. People really need to slow their roll when it comes to posting Mandalorian related stuff literally hours after the newest episodes go up. Again, it is a tiny thing, so I'm not like flipping out. But, the attempt to avoid spoilers with thread titles is appreaciated.
I'll never understand people's multi-decade obsession with this character when he barely does anything in the OT
A lot of people are speculating that this is just the name of S3 of Mando. It makes sense. S3 was supposed to start in December.
Whoops, beaten.
Whoops, beaten.
The upcoming Rangers of the New Republic series will hopefully be removed enough...
I do agree with that. I wish they didn't rely so much on the Skywalker legacy. It is a big universe and they are wasting it by keeping it so small.
Would've figured it was just the title for Mando season 3. Unless they aren't gonna have Mando season 3 next year?
Saw this on the r/StarWarsLeaks subreddit: "Last month when Deadline reported that a BOBA FETT mini-series was filming, they also said that Mando S3 would start filming in December. The BOBA FETT mini-series is filming for almost a month. Its 2 different shows"
My guess is they'll expand on that line in Mando season 2 Ep1 where he talks about an empty Sarlacc pit. The Krayt Dragon ate it and that's probably how he got out, in the process.
Pretty sure this is mandalorian season 3.
Pretty wild POV switch. Its going to be a uphill battle to keep things interesting.

Forget the Skywalker Saga; we're all about the Books of Mandalorians.
Deadline is reporting that it's a mini series spinoff fwiw. Not sure if they're speculating or if they have confirmation though.
I hope this is a mini-series and not Mando S3. Boba is just boring to me as a character. The cool bounty hunter shtick ran dry fast.
I remember talk of a Fett series being something like 6 eps. But that was before this teaser popped up.
If it is, it would make sense with the rumors of a Fett show.
I'm happy about this, and if not for anything else, then just for that they didn't bring back an old beloved character just to kill him off.
His story in The Mandalorian was finished, and it's great that they will continue the character.
To neg on these news because he didn't bring out an Oscar Worthy performance in Mandalorian, come on. Boba Fett has been a beloved character in Star Wars for 30+ years based on a few lines (or was it only one even?).

It has been reported by the trades for over a month that a Fett miniseries would come before Mando Season 3, and with Pedro's stunt double confirming Pedro is returning, it is clear the Book of Boba Fett is a separate project.
While we're here: that title is fantastic.

That'd be great, but I think he's busy on the next Indiana Jones.
On another note, I'm very happy this is seemingly a separate show. I'm entirely down for a King Conan of Tatooine Boba Fett show but I've grown invested in Din's story and would rather watch that if forced to make a choice. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like I'll have to.

We've seen him for all of a few minutes. It's been mostly his voice.
I don't disagree, there hasn't been a good performance really, but he also hasn't had much to work with tbh. We have mostly just heard his voice.
If this and Mando S3 are separate, I don't know how they could both launch in December, unless Book of Boba is only like 3 episodes long?
IIRC, at the investor's day meeting, Kennedy said "the next chapter" of Mando starts next Christmas, but she didn't specifically call it S3, did she?

Didn't they retcon (or I guess un-retcon) Boba as a Mandalorian? They affirmed Jango was a foundling like Dinn, and Boba is his clone son. It's why Dinn was okay leaving the armor with Boba after all.
Disney clearly wants as much Star Wars as possible, so it would be pretty weird to swap Din Jarin for Boba Fett..as opposed to continuing their already successful series and adding a Boba spin-off.
I'm sort of surprised Disney hasn't clarified already.

From a Deadline article in early November:
Deadline seems confident that they're separate shows, filmed separately.
