This new spinoff follows the eponymous Boba Fett, a bounty hunter introduced in the first trilogy (despite first appearing in the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special). Aided by his new partner-in-crime, Fennec Shand, the duo insert themselves into the power vacuum left behind by Jabba the Hutt and intend to seize control of the crime lord's former territory.

Boba Fett is portrayed by Temuera Morrison. The actor previously appeared in Star Wars as Jango Fett, Boba's father and the base from which the Clone Troopers were created in Episode II: Attack of the Clones. He's also portrayed the character in video games like Star Wars: Battlefront.

According to an interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Temuera has stated that the series will take a look at where Boba Fett has been since The Empire Strikes Back.

Fennec Shand is played by Ming-Na Wen. Ming-Na is known for her roles as the titular character in 1998's Mulan and Agent Melinda May in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The show will also feature actress Jennifer Beals.

Though their show has yet to premiere, Boba and Fennec have already appeared in the second season of The Mandalorian. Throughout the course of the season, he and Fennec meet the Mandalorian and eventually team up in an attempt to get Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) to safety. While the Mandalorian and Grogu eventually find success in their quest, Boba and Fennec travel elsewhere to kill Bib Fortuna, Jabba the Hutt's former aide, in their bid for the criminal throne on Tatooine.
