A bounty hunter, Boba Fett made his debut in Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back originally (before “The Special Edition” of A New Hope gave him an earlier appearance) as one of the bounty hunters hired by the Empire to find the Millennium Falcon.
In a not-so-surprising move, Disney has officially cancelled its plans for a Boba Fett film and will instead focus on Jon Favreau’s upcoming The Mandalorian TV series.
The news came directly from Star Wars head honcho Kathleen Kennedy, who told Critics Choice Association journalist Erick Weber at a Black Panther awards reception that Boba Fett was prematurely killed … again.
Fett succeeded in his mission and took Han Solo back to Jabba’s Palace, where he would meet an untimely end in the Sarlac Pitt.
