The new
Funko Pop! Star Wars: Mandalorian - Boba Fett Without Helmet Funko Pop! Vinyl Figure - Walmart Exclusive depicts one of the most remarkable characters in the Star Wars universe, enjoying a resurgence in popularity after The Mandalorian hit TVs.
In the Expanded Universe,
Boba Fett survives the events seen in Return of the Jedi, when he is knocked into Sarlacc's Well during a fight against Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. However, the setback was not enough to end the fame of the bounty hunter who was once asked by Darth Vader to take it easy.
He managed to escape from the evil beast's guts and ended up getting involved with Djarin,
The Mandalorian's hero, getting his armor back and then settling the score with what was left of Jabba the Hutt's power.
This is precisely the scene that opens the door to what would be
The Book of Boba Fett. The series will star
Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002) and took over the role of Boba Fett in The Mandalorian's second season.

The Book of Boba Fett will have eight episodes:
- Episode 1 - The Champion
- Episode 2 - The Assassin
- Episode 3 - The Syndicate
- Episode 4: The Battleground
- Episode 5 - The Homeworld
- Episode 6 - The Warlord
- Episode 7 - The Showdown
- Episode 8 - The Hunter
In addition, the first episode will not only be known as "The Champion," but also as Chapter 17. This is because the new Disney+ series will continue the chapters started in The Mandalorian, which, as we know, ended its second season with "Chapter 16 - The Rescue."
A few months ago, rumors suggested that The Book of Boba Fett will feature a giant battle between 30 Mandalorians. I still don't know exactly what the conflict will be like and why it will happen, but we can always expect big surprises from Lucasfilm.
