• Star Temeura Morrison is unsure about the possibility of a season 2 for The Book of Boba Fett.
• He says that fans want a season 2, but it's unclear what will happen.
• Morrison believes the ultimate deciding factor for the fate of the show will be budget concerns.

"I don't know what's going on there. We're coming out of this downtime period so I think everyone is just settling back in and it all goes back to budgets and what they want to do and how much the thing costs. I really don't know. Judging by the fans I've met, they all want a season two, but I don't know what's going to happen."

Boba Fett Star Gives A Disappointing Update On Season 2

"The fans I've met, they all want a season two."

Season 1 was terrible. An assassination of a beloved (for some reason) character. What should have been something like Star Wars Godfather was weak sauce because Disney didn't want to commit to a story about a criminal doing criminal shit

 

[Faust]

Boba fett was awful. I don’t know of any fans who want to see a new season

 

[FullMetalx117]

I guess I feel bad for the couple of fans that this actor is claiming wanted a season 2

 

[Haemi]

I don‘t understand why people are saying, that they don‘t want a new season of something, because the previous was bad. There is always the possibility that something good is made. If not, then i will just not watch it.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Keep that shit buried!

 

[lifa-cobex]

Do a Jabba series who seeks fat acceptance.

Also played by Lizzo

 

[ADiTAR]

Fans? as in plural?

 

[Valonquar]

At least re-cast the role and give us a YOUNG Boba, and not Boba's Bucket List

 

[Fbh]

lol what fans?
It was one of the weaker seasons of Power Rangers.

 

[newtypepilot]

He says that fans want a season 2

Did he not get the memo Disney only wants strong independent women as main characters???

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Boba Fett simply isn't a good character. He's just a jobber who people like because he had a mystery behind him.

 

[Billbofet]

Nobody wants this. Boba Fett never needed a backstory as it made what was cool about him uncool.
It was cool to see the Power Rangers working again though.

 

[Rival]

Boba Fett was terrible and everyone knows it.

 

[NickFire]

I don‘t understand why people are saying, that they don‘t want a new season of something, because the previous was bad. There is always the possibility that something good is made. If not, then i will just not watch it.

The same nostalgia that kept him relevant for decades is why. Or in sports terms, it's better to walk away with dignity than play a season too long and tarnish a career.

 

[Haemi]

It‘s not the same. It’s the athletes fault, when he plays too long. But it’s not Boba Fetts fault when a shitty season gets made. It’s the fault of bad writers, producers and directors. A bad show is just not canon for me.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I wanted to see more of the old fat man pretending to be a badass obvious sarcasm. Good news.

 

[Straight Edge]

At least re-cast the role and give us a YOUNG Boba, and not Boba's Bucket List

His age in BOBF doesn't make sense to begin with If he was 10 in AOTC. He should be 40ish in this series.

 

[jufonuk]

I will not leave these people.
Two seconds later
I need to get out of here

The show was eeeeehhhh

Also the moped gang just looked silly.

 

[mitch1971]

Do it, don't do it. I don't give a fuck about star wars any more.

I'll stick with the original trilogy which sadly I can't get anymore. (Maybe rogue one as well)

 

[HoodWinked]

When a show is so bad that it retroactively makes the stuff before it worse is a good sign that it needs to stop.

Show ruined Boba Fett.

Send that money to Andor or Cara Dune or Bill Burr.

 

[TransTrender]

lol what fans?
It was one of the weaker seasons of Power Rangers.

Oh fuck is this real?

 

[TheZink]

Honestly this show was the death of Star Wars for me. They destroyed my favorite childhood character.

Sadly I don’t think Star Wars will ever have the same spot in my heart again.

 

[TheZink]

Oh fuck is this real?

100% real

 

[JayK47]

I liked it better than Obi-Wan, but not that much better. If they would do more with the character and setting, it could work. But it is Disney. Honestly, what did you expect? You all had to know it was going to be bland. Also, any fans of Boba are going to hold him on such a high pedestal, I do not think anyone could satisfy them. So this series had no chance.

 

[Revolutionary]

Oh fuck is this real?

 

[Husky]

I honestly thought the "disappointing update" would be that the show was renewed.

 

[Mossybrew]

I liked it better than Obi-Wan, but not that much better.

I think that's the best you could say about this show. "It was slightly better than Obi Wan" It's best to pretend both never happened.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I didnt watch the series. But checking the cast and what clips I've seen on the net, is there a reason why Boba Fett is a 60 year old guy? Is it set in the future or is the character supposed to be this old the whole time under his mask in the SW movies?

 

[MrMephistoX]

Boba Fett simply isn't a good character. He's just a jobber who people like because he had a mystery behind him.

And the show not only ruined the mystery it turned him into something completely uninteresting. I actually liked Obi Wan but Book of Boba royally sucked aside from the mando episodes…it’s honestly just best to skip to episode 7 and forget the rest of the series exists.

 

[AJUMP23]

Show was trash.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Oh, Sweet. I was expecting a release date and trailer based on the thread title.

 

[JCK75]

Announcing they would be making a second season would be disappointing.

 

[John Marston]

I wanted to see more of the old fat man pretending to be a badass obvious sarcasm. Good news.

I would have loved to see his dentures pop out but thanks to great editing we never witnessed it

 

[TransTrender]

100% real

At first glance I thought it was a Black Eyed Peas music video...

I've only 'heard' how bad this show was, but seeing it now, it's pretty embarrassingly bad.
Is this made for babies?

 

[Beer Baelly]

At least he got treated right in Jedi survivor

 

[Laptop1991]

TBH i had forgotten about the show, Boba Fett was mediocre at best for me, but i did like Andor, now a season 2 of that i would watch if the writing stays the same

 

[Inspector Q]

Why are the writers for these shows (besides Andor) so damn terrible? How hard can it be to make a show that doesn't take a dump on all of the legacy characters?

Why is one of the greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy taking infiltration advice from Fennec Shand? He acts like he has no idea what technology she is using.

Why is this simpleton searching in the Sarlacc Pit for his armor? Even if he doesn't remember the Jawas knocking him out, does he think he crawled out of the pit completely naked? Why not send one of Fennec's amazing little infiltration drones in to scope the pit out instead of going in face-first with your whole goddamn ship?

Why does Fennec have to explain the town defense to Boba near the end of the series? How is he not aware of the plan? He was literally standing next to Fennec in the prior scene. What ELSE is he doing besides helping to devise their strategy?

Why use Grogu AGAIN to pacify the Rancor? We have already seen this shit. Why not use Boba's growing relationship with the beast to pacify it?

Why do these writers hate Star Wars?

 

[jason10mm]

Why do these writers hate Star Wars?

Because this is Star Wars now

It's written for young to middle aged white women now.

 

[Pejo]

lol what fans?
It was one of the weaker seasons of Power Rangers.

Reminds me of one of my favorite jokes about the show.

(timestamped)

 

[BlackTron]

Honestly this show was the death of Star Wars for me. They destroyed my favorite childhood character.

Sadly I don’t think Star Wars will ever have the same spot in my heart again.

1-2 back to back punch of Boba Fett and Obi Wan completely killed it. Sequel trilogy already did, but Mando was too cool to stay away. Now SW is like that hot ex who keeps trying to flirt, but you know they're a bipolar manipulator. Never the same spot, indeed.

 

[John Marston]

Why do these writers hate Star Wars?

They don't hate Star Wars, they're just writing what the higher ups have been hammering into their heads.
KIll the Soul, humiliate the Hero & add a Girl Boss.

Writing in general lately has been the product of people with no life experience outside of social media and their work suffers in consequence.

How can you write about love, regret and redemption when your only true adversity was getting the wrong coffee at Starbucks.

 

[dorkimoe]

I am not exagerating at all when I say that show ruined the entire character for me. I collect some collectibles every now and then and when I see Boba Fett armor or logo i think back to how bad that show was.

I dont like the look of the actor, i dont like how he was just a political pussy

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Cad Bane was the best thing about this whole mess.

 

[RJMacready73]

It's not getting a S2 cause it has a male lead and Disney didn't want to risk sticking a women in it and making her a lesbian...

Let's be honest it was an absolute Trainwreck, Boba Fett had like 3 lines throughout the entire trilogy so it's not like he was an established character but Disney really dropped the ball by going all PG Lite, this should've been a gritty crime drama not some show that had a bunch of generic kids on fucking chrome mopeds trying to act all Gang'y, it was all over the place tonally and boring as hell

 

[Dr.Morris79]

It's written for young to middle aged white women now.

Says you, I dont know of any young to middle age white women who like this shit

Unless you mean 'American' young to middle age Liberal no kids wine women who screech BLM and trans kids should be trans

Then yeah, I guess

 

[BlackTron]

Because this is Star Wars now

It's written for young to middle aged white women now.

Back in the day, my sister (a young to middle age white woman) turned her nose up and argued for control of the TV set when I had Star Wars on. Now she is nonplussed by my opinion of ObiWan and Boba Fett and I didn't watch any Ahsoka until she started streaming it at my place.

 

[SirKicksalot]

>Robert Rodriguez
>budget concerns

Does not compute.

 

[NickFire]

It‘s not the same. It’s the athletes fault, when he plays too long. But it’s not Boba Fetts fault when a shitty season gets made. It’s the fault of bad writers, producers and directors. A bad show is just not canon for me.

I get what you are saying about it being different. But I can't pretend its not canon, and personally have no interest in another season from the same writers, etc.

If they do make another season I'd probably give it a chance though. I'm apathetic towards BF now, but there was one really good episode (it didn't really involve him much of course).

And realistically, I don't think fans really have anything to do with whether this show gets another season. This character could easily be redeemed. But to do that would require an implied admission that the people who made the first season screwed it all up. I honestly think they'd rather pretend the audience is fatigued (or a bunch of bigots) before admitting a mistake and course correcting.

 

[jason10mm]

I'm not saying it was SUCCESSFULLY written, but it DEFINITELY was NOT written for men or boys, so the only conclusion I can come up with is the target demographic was women.

If LucasArts thought this show was gonna be a hit with boys, they were veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery wrong. Jennifer Beals was about the only high point of the entire season.
