This echoes Morrison’s feedback final 12 months about his absence from the present. Whereas talking on the SUPANOVA Comedian Con and Gaming conference in Melbourne, Australia in 2023, Morrison confirmed that he had anticipated to come back again for The Mandalorian season 3, which noticed Din and pals liberate Mandalore from the Empire, earlier than plans modified: “No one rang me. I used to be ready for the telephone name in New Zealand, ready and wanting to surrender.”
On the time, Morrison speculated that he was not requested again for extra episodes due to Disney price range cuts, saying, “I feel there’s a few modifications occurring. We additionally come beneath the large umbrella often called Disney now too. So it’s one of many previous couple of conversations we had in L.A. The dialog began like, ‘Oh look, we’re having just a few modifications. We’re having just a few cutbacks.’ And while you hear that on the different finish of the road, it’s no good making an attempt to barter any extra money, that’s for positive. So we’ll see what occurs.”
Boba Fett hasn’t appeared onscreen since his 2021 solo collection, The Ebook of Boba Fett, which noticed the bounty hunter exchange Jabba the Hutt because the daimyo of Mos Espa. Whereas the collection make clear how Boba survived the sarlacc pit after Return of the Jedi, Lucasfilm additionally made the confounding alternative of sidelining the character on his personal present for a number of episodes with the intention to choose up the place The Mandalorian season 2 cliffhanger left off. What was pitched as a homecoming for Boba, a personality lengthy deserving his personal solo journey, grew to become a present about Din and Grogu reuniting halfway by its run. It’s a storytelling resolution that even Morrison has jokingly questioned ever because the present aired.
“Nicely that Mando man stole just a few chapters of my e-book,” he mentioned at SUPANOVA final 12 months. “It was painful watching him flip up with some black new deadly sword. And the way in which he turned up in my Ebook of Boba, he simply destroyed all people. I’m positive this man is… ah… ruining my present. However I couldn’t say something. I’m not the author, so I’ve to bear it I suppose.”
Sadly, it feels like Boba Fett received’t get an opportunity to make issues proper in The Mandalorian & Grogu, though we do hope to see Morrison again within the armor someday quickly. Whereas we’ve by no means been shy about declaring his Ebook‘s many, many points, Morrison himself wasn’t one in every of them. Let’s hope he a minimum of will get a cameo in Dave Filoni’s New Republic film?
The Mandalorian & Grogu hits theaters on Could 22, 2026.
