'The Book of Boba Fett' Connects to 'The Mandalorian' More Than We Thought

Discover key insights on 'The Book of Boba Fett' Connects to 'The Mandalorian' More Than We Thought.

Buckle up, because it appears The Book of Boba Fett will be full of cameos. In mid-December 2021, director Robert Rodriguez and producer/writer Dave Filoni spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and hinted at possible cameos of characters from the entire Star Wars saga.

"Boba gives us a direct connection to the Star Wars saga since he was involved in that story," Dave said. "This creates a nice crossover point for both classic characters and new characters. Much of The Mandalorian was new, or had not been seen onscreen."

He added, "Through Boba Fett, we can weave some of those characters and tales together using a character we know but don’t know a lot about."

Very interesting, Dave. We're surprised you said this much, but now this gives us the confirmation we need that a bunch of classic and new faces are showing up in the series.

And that's not all, Star Wars fans — rumor has it fan-favorite Grogu, or as most call him, "Baby Yoda," briefly appears in The Book of Boba Fett. Star Wars NewsNet reported in early December 2021 that a reputable source confirmed Grogu cameos in the series.

Whether this is true or not, we're not sure. We will have to watch the series to find out. But, native writer and Star Wars leaker Jordan Maison built on this report and mentioned in a quote tweet that we might want to keep an eye on "who he's hanging with."

Wait, what?! Who is Grogu hanging out with? Is it the Jedi master himself, Luke Skywalker? Or did he get back in touch with Mando? We need to know!

The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 1 premieres on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2021, exclusively on Disney Plus.
