The Mandalorian _ Season 2 Official Trailer _ Disney+_ Dec 18, 2020 1:42 PM CUT  by [Eliana Dockterman](/author/eliana-dockterman/)  ## Eliana Dockterman Correspondent Dec 18, 2020 1:42 PM CUT **_Spoilers for The Mandalorian’s season two finale below._** Disney announced a [slew of new _Star Wars_ shows](https://time.com/5045736/upcoming-star-wars-movies/ "undefined") during an investor call earlier this month, including two directly tied to _The Mandalorian:_ an Asokha series and a drama called _Rangers of the New Republic_. But the studio was not done plumbing the depths of the _Mandalorian_ IP yet. The season two finale of the hit Disney+ show previewed yet another spinoff series, set for December 2021: _The Book of Boba Fett_. The episode itself was jam-packed with action: Mando gathered together a crew to save Baby Yoda (now technically called Grogu, but Baby Yoda sounds cuter) from the villainous Moff Gideon. Boba Fett created a diversion for the rest of the gang and then flew off into space. Mando then secured Baby Yoda and the Darksaber by defeating Moff Gideon in battle, but faced a dire challenge in the form of the Dark Troopers, lethal Imperial droids. Then none other than Luke Skywalker arrived to save Mando’s posse and take on The Child as his apprentice. For story reasons, it’s rather convenient that Boba Fett wasn’t around for Luke’s cameo—considering that Boba once hunted down and tried to kill Luke and his friends, that would have made for an awkward reunion. But that’s not the last we see of Fett. In a post-credits scene, he and Fennec infiltrate the late Jabba the Hutt’s palace on Tatooine, now occupied by some of Boba’s old sycophants, including Bib Fortuna. They kill nearly everyone, let a slave escape, and make themselves comfortable on Jabba’s throne. Then “Book of Boba” flashes across the screen, along with the December 2021 premiere date. The announcement comes just one day after original Boba Fett actor Jeremy Bulloch died at the age of 75. _Book of Boba_ is the ninth _Star Wars_ show now in the works at Disney+, along with a third season of _The Mandalorian_, the _Rogue One_ prequel _Andor_, a _Mandalorian_ spinoff titled _Rangers of the New Republic_, an Obi-Wan show set between Episodes III and IV, _Ahsoka_ centered on Jedi Ahsoka Tano, animated series _The Bad Batch_, a show called _The Acolyte_ from the creator of Netflix’s _Russian Doll_, and _Lando_ starring the cape-loving crusader himself. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5922943/book-of-boba-fett-mandalorian/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5922943/book-of-boba-fett-mandalorian/"},"headline":"Definitely Stick Around for the Mandalorian Post-Credits Scene After the Season 2 Finale","datePublished":"2020-12-18T13:42:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-24T09:32:51.106Z","description":"There's a big announcement that Star Wars fans won't want to miss","url":"https://time.com/5922943/book-of-boba-fett-mandalorian/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5922943/book-of-boba-fett-mandalorian/","name":"Definitely Stick Around for the Mandalorian Post-Credits Scene After the Season 2 Finale"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Mandalorian _ Season 2 Official Trailer","description":"The Mandalorian _ Season 2 Official Trailer _ Disney+","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/UcGC1EKw/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2020-10-19T19:46:21.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/UcGC1EKw.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5922943/book-of-boba-fett-mandalorian/","duration":"PT1M52S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5922943/book-of-boba-fett-mandalorian/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
