Indeed, Disney has not yet commented on the status of a potential The Book of Boba Fett season 2. That could mean the show won’t return, with Boba and Fennec being folded back into other series, or it could mean the House of Mouse is holding a season 2 announcement for a later date.
Either way, the rest of the 2022 Star Wars Disney+ slate seems set at this point. Obi-Wan Kenobi will release on May 25, with Andor, The Bad Batch season 2, and The Mandalorian season 2 filling out the rest of the year. Ahsoka and The Acolyte are rumored to film this year, which means you can probably expect to see them on the streaming service in 2023. Could The Book of Boba Fett season 2 follow?
There’s also the question of where the show could go next if it were to return for a second season. With the conflict with the Pykes finished, Boba and Fennec would need new villains to take on. The most likely enemy faction? The Hutt Cartel. Now that the Pykes are gone, could the Hutt Twins return and take another stab at getting their palace back?
It’s also possible Boba and Fennec will want to expand their empire beyond Tatooine, taking the fight to Nal Hutta and Hutt Space, the center of the criminal underworld in the galaxy far, far away. Certainly, fans of the old Legends continuity have waited decades to see hives of scum and villainy like the Hutt moon of Nar Shaddaa and the Mid Rim smuggler hub Ord Mantell. Since The Book of Boba Fett has been billed as a series meant to take a deeper drive into the criminal element of the Star Wars universe, there’s a unique opportunity to show us the other lawless corners outside of New Republic jurisdiction.

I believe I said it in another thread, but I think the showrunners insert other characters out of genuine affection first, and to please the fans later, so it's not entirely cynical (although yes, it does sell toys). Filoni, Favreau and their mates actually love the characters Lucas created and they want to use them to develop them, to expand on their story, to add their own little brick to the wall of their legacy.They shouldn't keep bringing up OT characters as it smacks of fan service, which is cheap at the best of times.
Morrison wants it to be about getting revenge against Mace Windu. Samuel Jackson says that he got Lucas to agree that Windu was still alive but it sounded very much to me that he was just being humoured. However, Star Wars now has a tradition of characters falling to their deaths/being eaten only to turn up alive later. I'm looking forward to finding out how Darth Vader survived.I cannot see a second season being made. What would it be about? Boba Fett trying out a series of other occupations, maybe? Postal Delivery Man? Mineral Geologist and Mining Engineer? Munitions And Missile Maintenance Officer? Medical Orderly?
Definitely. Lucas can't say 'no' to Sam Jackson. The moment he agreed to let Mace Windu have a purple lightsaber when all the other Jedi should have either a green or blue one was caught on tape for a documentary, and it's painfully obvious - to my eyes at least - that Lucas' 'yes' is a reluctant one.Samuel Jackson says that he got Lucas to agree that Windu was still alive but it sounded very much to me that he was just being humoured.
Wait, were you joking? Or did you read that Disney's actually considering bringing him back? I wouldn't put it past them.I'm looking forward to finding out how Darth Vader survived.
I'd watch it.Dave said:What would it be about? Boba Fett trying out a series of other occupations, maybe? (...) Mineral Geologist (...)?

There’s an easy solution to [the show's] problems. And it comes from acknowledging the undercurrent running through the whole series: Boba Fett is actually the villain of The Book of Boba Fett, and the whole story is a wry comedy about how he accidentally fails upward through the ranks of more established, competent, and powerful villains. People watching the show have been complaining all along that he’s too undefined. But looked at in terms of his choices, he’s actually extremely clearly defined — as a selfish crook who’s oblivious to the harm he causes and how unsuited he is for the role he’s claiming.
To be honest the only thing that bothered me about them was that they felt so out of place on Tatooine.The mods were kinda fitting in a prequel series way but also bloody awful.
My older son (mid-twenties) said something like "Why are they even focusing on such a minor character as Boba Fett, anyway?" and I had to point out that, there, in the very beginning in the late 70s/early 80s, the most popular characters amongst those early fans (and I remember there being polls that confirmed this) were: 1. Darth Varder, and 2. Boba Fett. He was really surprised to hear that.When I first read about this series, I read that it was only going to be these 7 episodes; no second series, and that the whole point of it was to bring the story of Boba Fett, up to speed as you will; up to the same point that we meet him in The Mandalorian season 2. So, it is The Mandalorian season 2.5, as someone here has suggested already; that is precisely what it is meant to be. I don't think it failed, because it succeeded in doing that. It actually took us a little further ahead of the Mandalorian' s story. I enjoyed watching it, but was it great? No. Could it have stood up on its own? No. Would anyone ask for a second season based on what we have seen? Hell, no! And I agree that the best episodes were those where Boba Fett played a minor part, or even didn't appear at all. So, why was it called The Book of Boba Fett and not The Mandalorian 2.5? As I already suggested, they thought they could bring in more fans, and get more subscribers to Disney by the use of the name. I expect that it also succeeded in doing that. I can see why you think it is a failed series, but the producers will be slapping themselves on their backs with a hearty "well done," and personally, I'm glad that it was made. I cannot see a second season being made. What would it be about? Boba Fett trying out a series of other occupations, maybe? Postal Delivery Man? Mineral Geologist and Mining Engineer? Munitions And Missile Maintenance Officer? Medical Orderly?
Disney’s upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series will not only bring back Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen to their iconic roles but also unlock a new era of storytelling for these beloved Star Wars characters. From a certain point of view, the show will walk a similar path to The Book of Boba Fett, exploring the lost years of the Jedi Master before his fateful meeting with Luke Skywalker in A New Hope, just as Boba Fett used flashbacks to flesh out the bounty hunter’s untold story after Return of the Jedi.
But some might say Obi-Wan Kenobi is at a disadvantage compared to The Book of Boba Fett‘s relatively blank slate. Since the character’s overall story is already set in stone — we know where he’s going and where his journey must end — how high can the stakes really get in the new Disney+ series?
Of course, Rogue One faced a similar challenge in 2016. If we already know the Death Star plans will be successfully delivered to the Rebel base on Yavin IV, can Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor’s journey really surprise us? Well, it did when the film shockingly killed off its entire cast of colorful, all-new characters in the third act. But Obi-Wan Kenobi, which is set nine years before A New Hope, won’t be able to pull the same trick with its famous protagonist.
However, Star Wars now has a tradition of characters falling to their deaths/being eaten only to turn up alive later.
