No new material. Just the TV show re-worked as a comic book.


Star Wars' Book of Boba Fett Returns, But Not How Fans Wanted
-------------------------------------------------------------
Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett is coming back, but in an unexpected
fashion. The iconic bounty hunter and his supporting cast from the
Disney+ show are making the jump to comic books.

How is Star Wars' Book of Boba Fett returning?
Marvel Comics has announced a new comic book adaptation of The Book
of Boba Fett. The series will adapt the show's storyline, so it won't
feature any new material with Boba Fett in it. The seven-issue comic
book miniseries arrives on shelves on September 9, 2026.

Boba Fett's return will be in a seven-issue comic book series written
by Rodney Barnes and illustrated by Will Sliney. The series will see
the return of other characters from the show, like Garsa Fwip, Dokk
Strassi, Mok Shaiz's majordomo, and more.

The comic book's synopsis, similar to the live-action series, reads,
"After escaping from the Sarlacc Pit, Boba Fett has taken over Jabba
the Hutt's syndicate-but does he have what it takes to keep Tatooine
in order?"

"I've loved Boba Fett since early childhood!" said Barnes. "Adapting
this series has been a complete joy, and I can't wait for Star Wars
fans to read it!"

Check out the comic book's main cover by Alex Maleev, along with
variant covers by E.M. Gist, Jerry Ordway, Pete Woods, and Rickie
Yagawa below.

The Book of Boba Fett premiered on Disney+ in 2021. The Star Wars show
was a hit with some fans. However, no continuation has been announced.
The series sits at a 66% on Rotten Tomatoes, with a lower audience
score at 48%. Fans looking to get their fill of action in Beskar armor
will need to divert their attention to The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Disney will continue the Star Wars cinematic adventures with
Star Wars: Starfighter, releasing next year.

The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett are streaming on Disney+.
