With the launch of Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 2 on Disney+, there’s a lot of hype surrounding the new episodes of the Lucasfilm series. The company is now prepping a full blitz featuring a surprising return (spoiler warning!) of a fan-favorite character, and now we know a lot more Boba Fett is on the way. After actor Temuera Morrison made a shocking return to the Star Wars galaxy at the end of “Chapter 9: The Marshal,” there’s likely to be a lot more excitement surrounding Boba Fett. But what does Lucasfilm have in store for Star Wars fans and die-hard collectors who want to flesh out their collection of Beskar-clad bounty hunters?

Here’s the official “Boba Fett” trademark that Lucasfilm has now filed.

Last time we some movement on this was a decade ago. Hopefully something actually happens, this time.

New Merch?

I think it means they’re getting ready to drop merch. Which means there’s a reason. They didn’t want to spoil The Child and it looks like they’re waiting to the last minute with him. But that’s just me.

One leading theory is that Lucasfilm is getting ready to drop new Boba Fett merchandise, based on the character’s new design for The Mandalorian season 2. Like The Child (Baby Yoda), Lucasfilm will wait until Boba Fett appears in The Mandalorian before releasing any merchandise.

Boba Fett Books

Series of Boba Fett books … filling in the gap of time between him crawling out of the Sarlacc Pit and when we see him in The Mandalorian. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Other theories look at the specifics of the trademark and conclude that a new Boba Fett novel could be on the way. The character does need a lot of backstory filled in between Return of the Jedi and The Mandalorian – a book could do that.

Backdoor Movie?

Is this why Boba is in The Mandalorian, as a back door way to do a movie? Sounds interesting.

When the Boba Fett trademark was updated in the 2010s, it was during a time of rumors that Boba Fett will be one of the Star Wars Standalone movies. Could that finally be coming to pass?
