Temuera Morrison spoke to the Express newspaper in the UK and shared that they had some great director on-board for The Book of Boba Fett including Robert Rodriguez, Jon Favreau, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Dave Filoni.
When asked what plot details he could give us about the new show, Morrison laughed: “You know the rules, nothing! Nothing!”
The Kiwi actor – who was promoting his new science-fiction epic Occupation: Rainfall – went on: “It’s in the timeline of The Mandalorian so, I guess, we gotta go back and see.
“It’s a duo thing. We’ve got Ming-Na Wen in there – she’s playing the master assassin Fennec Shan.”
Morrison continued: “We’ve gotta look at the timeline, we gotta look at where [Boba] has been. We gotta keep the fans happy.”
Keeping Star Wars fans happy and excited won’t be too much of a problem considering The Book of Boba Fett is being handled by some of the greatest creators of the series, Morrison added.
First and foremost in the line-up, he explained, is Jon Favreau of Marvel fame. The director and executive producer has worked tirelessly on expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe from behind the scenes.
The actor said: “Jon [Favreau] has come up with some magical formulas.”
Morrison continued: “We’ve got some great directors onboard – Robert Rodriguez, Favreau, Bryce [Dallas Howard], Dave Filoni.
“It’s just a new world! It’s a new world. They like to keep the Star Wars stuff under [lock and] key.”
Morrison then touched upon Favreau’s experience with the ongoing Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is also under the Disney umbrella.
He said: “But, I think we’re blessed in the way Favreau has all that Marvel experience, so we know where those storylines go. Let’s see what happens.”
