The legendary Star Wars bounty hunter Boba Fett last appeared in February 2022 at the conclusion of his Disney+ series The Book of Boba Fett. While the show proved divisive among fans - with some criticizing its more sympathetic portrayal of the formerly ruthless character - many assumed this wouldn't be the last we'd see of the iconic Mandalorian.

Where Is Boba Fett Now?

Yet over three years later, Lucasfilm has remained silent about The Book of Boba Fett Season 2. With the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu movie representing the next major live-action Star Wars project, fans wonder if this might serve as Boba Fett's next appearance. The possibility of a fourth season of The Mandalorian remains unconfirmed, but could provide another opportunity for his return.

Star Temuera Morrison, who brings the character to life, has openly expressed uncertainty about Boba Fett's future. The 64-year-old New Zealand actor recently shared his disappointment about the character's absence in an interview with Collider.

"Where is The Book of Boba Fett Season 2?" Morrison questioned. "I know they're doing Ahsoka Season 2. I'm going, 'Ah, where's my Season 2?'"

A Character "Preserved For Later"?

Morrison revealed he even pitched Lucasfilm about appearing in Ahsoka Season 2 as Captain Rex (another clone character he could portray), emphasizing his versatility in playing all clone-related roles. His recent encounters with Star Wars creative leads Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau yielded enigmatic responses that left him cautiously optimistic.

"They didn't want to say too much," Morrison described, comparing himself to "that preservative jar of peaches up on grandma's shelf - I've been preserved for a later date, and I'm going to be tastier."

The Challenge of Mixed Reception

The actor previously acknowledged that the lukewarm response to The Book of Boba Fett might be affecting the character's future. At Fan Expo Chicago last year, Morrison noted, "This show's reception does seem to have impacted the future of the character in the franchise." As of now, Disney hasn't approached him about appearing in The Mandalorian & Grogu movie or a second season.

Originally introduced as Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones, Morrison returned decades later to portray the adult Boba Fett. The actor maintains his enthusiasm for the character, hoping for more opportunities as substantial as when The Mandalorian dominated an episode of his own series.

As with many Lucasfilm projects, secrecy remains paramount. While Rosario Dawson famously didn't know about Mark Hamill's surprise Mandalorian appearance until filming, Morrison's current uncertainty seems more grounded in reality than typical studio secrecy.
