As the world knows by now, after the credits rolled for The finale of The Mandalorian season two, fans were given a post-credits tease. The tease, we saw Boba Fett and Fennec Shand arrive at Jabba’s Palace on Tatooine to assassinate an older Bib Fortuna with Boba Fett taking over the throne. The scene closed with two title cards The Book of Boba Fett and Coming December 2021.

Silly rumors have been making their way across the Internet regarding series star Pedro Pascal involvement on the series. Well, thanks to Jon Favreau we finally have some clarification.
