During Disney’s Q3 FY21 Earnings call which took place last month, it was announced that November 12 would be reserved for a special celebration of Disney+ to highlight the streaming service’s two year anniversary. Disney has revealed today via an official press release the full slate of programming that will be coming our way on Nov. 12 as part of the Disney+ Day festivities. Among the programming slated for that day is “a special celebrating the origins and legacy of Star Wars’ legendary bounty hunter, Boba Fett” which aligns just perfectly with the heightened popularity and interest in the character after his return to the GFFA in Season 2 of The Mandalorian.
