With the Book of Boba Fett fast approaching we are starting to hear more and more from who the actors and actresses will be. Obviously fans already know that Temmera Morrison is going to reprise the role of Boba Fett as well as Ming Na Wen playing the fantastic Fennec Shan. However we are now getting word of more actors and actresses joining the Book of Boba Fett. A lot of amazing talent is coming to the fold for Lucasfilm anticipated series. The latest was announced by Ming Na herself by revealing that Jennifer Beals to be in the Book of Boba Fett. An exciting new addition to the casting of the series and it’s many wonderful stars who will be behind it..

Jennifer Beals herself revealed that she would appear via twitter much to Ming Na Wen’s delight. Especially since it seems like Ming Na Wen this has been a childhood dream to be a part of the Galaxy Far Far Away. Something that is becoming more and more common among actors who are joining the cast of various Lucasfilm related projects.

It’s amazing and fun to see all sorts of actors and actresses from all sorts of different backgrounds all of them with a love and passion for Star Wars. With so much talent coming in it’s gonna be great to see what they can bring to the table. Who knows who else will be joining the cast of the Book of Boba, but hopefully it will be wonderful and with the past Star Wars casting choices, more or less, have been fantastic.

Who the character is playing is still hard to say, perhaps they will be titular to the story and be a supporting character, or maybe they’ll be a cameo appearance as well. Will they be human or alien, hero or villain, someone helping Boba or going against them. There are a lot of people from the underworld Boba could meet , crime bosses, overlords, maybe even former Imperials. Though what his motivations are still is hard to say. Why is Boba becoming a crime lord after being stuck in the sarlacc pit? Why now? Those are the questions still left to answer as we get closer to the day of Book of Boba Fett.

The Book of Boba Fett has been in production for such a long time and now it’s finally about to come out for all the Star Wars fandom to see. So many of us have been anticipating it since the end credit stinger at the end of Mandalorian Season 2. With it coming out in november we are about to see the tale of Boba Fett try to become the next criminal boss of Tatooine and maybe even more. What the journey will untale is hard to say. However it will very much involve the Underworld as well as the criminal organizations in a post Return of the Jedi world.

Expanding this era is always a fascinating time. The gap between Ep 6 and 7 is almost thirty years long. So much has happened and yet so little is shown. Of course this has led to many great series and spin-off shows. Expanding this gap will only help the Star Wars universe and will only strengthen the overall story of the Galaxy Far Far Away giving us lore and backstory to the movie while also giving us more characters to explore and become attached too. Expanding the universe can only be a good thing as we move this franchise forward into the future, getting wonderful material with that special type of storytelling that only Star Wars can ever really give us.
