The Mandalorian executive producer and writer Dave Filoni says he won’t rule out the possibility of Boba Fett returning in the Disney Plus series.
Arguably one of the most popular Star Wars characters, Boba Fett was famously offed in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, with many fans hoping for decades to see him bounce back up from the Sarlacc pit. Unfortunately, that has never been the case, but fans have been speculating for quite some time that Boba Fett would return in The Mandalorian.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Star Wars guru Dave Filoni was asked if Boba Fett has already appeared in The Mandalorian. Dave Filoni responded candidly, suggesting that it would be entirely possible to see the famed character make an appearance in The Mandalorian.
“Interesting. I mean, there’s always possibilities, I don’t like to limit our storytelling in any way and, who knows? It would be really hypocritical for the guy who that helped bring Darth Maul back to life after he got cut in half, for me to say that somebody can’t survive a Sarlacc pit, but I don’t know. I mean, anything’s possible in Star Wars and I think, when fans love something, that’s what really fuels the possibility and the believability. So, who knows? But right now, we got Mando.”
It’s good to know that Dave Filoni is aware of how important Boba Fett is to the fans and hopefully we can see him once again in The Mandalorian. Boba Fett last appeared in Attack of the Clones as a youth but was last seen rocking the mandalorian amor in Return of the Jedi. Dave Filoni made his live-action directorial debut with the first episode of The Mandalorian. Dave Filoni will also be seen writing and directing the fifth episode of the show. Dave Filoni is best known for being in charge of Star Wars‘ many animated shows, including Rebels.

The Mandalorian is set after Return of the Jedi and will explore the Star Wars timeline between the original and sequel trilogies for the first time in live-action. Here’s the official synopsis:
After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
The Mandalorian can only be watched on Disney Plus, which has so far only launched in a few countries. The series is released on a weekly basis, with the first two episodes of eight online. A second season of the Star Wars show is currently filming.
