Star Wars : Le Livre de Boba Fett [Lucasfilm - 2021]

Peut-être qu'on saura enfin pourquoi Bobba Fett, clone de son "père" Jango, est aussi balèze au tir et à la baston, alors que les troopers, également clones de Jango, sont tous systématiquement des vraies brêles ?

Au moment de l'Empire, il n'y a quasiment plus de clones. Ce sont des soldats recrutés, grosse différence de niveau du coup

Non justement les clones étaient quand même tous d'excellents soldats comme on a pu le voir dans la série The Clone Wars.

L'incompétence des stormtroopers vient aussi d'un choix économique et stratégique, les clones coutaient extrêmement chers à produire et à entrainer, ça a totalement ruiner la République !!! Mais en contre partie cet investissement à produit une armée très compétente malgré un nombre réduit.

Sous l'Empire, on a fait l'inverse, on a choisit de faire une armée très très massive mais très peu chère à produire, avec un entrainement faible et un équipement beaucoup moins qualitatif et donc beaucoup moins couteux que sous la République.

Dans l'ancien régime le crédo était la qualité et la compétence, sous l'Empire c'était celui du nombre et de l'économie d'échelle.

J’attends avec impatience cette série ! Le personnage de Boba était génial dans Mandalorian et je suis curieux de savoir ce qu’ils vont en faire. Ah et je suis tellement content d’avoir Ming Na Wen dans le main cast. Il me manquait ma dose de badass depuis la fin d’Agents of SHIELD !

Ming-Na Wen a confirmé il y a quelques jours que le tournage est terminé. La série part maintenant en post-production.

Lors d'une interview pour Rotten Tomatoes, Temuera Morrison a annoncé que le passé de Boba Fett sera exploré dans sa série solo et que nous découvrirons ce qui lui est arrivé entre L'Empire Contre-Attaque et The Mandalorian.
L'acteur confirme également que Robert Rodriguez a réalisé quelques épisodes.

Rotten Tomatoes: Speaking of action, I do have to ask about Boba Fett.

Morrison: My lips are sealed. I can’t say too much about that!

Rotten Tomatoes: Well, I will avoid The Book of Boba Fett. But for The Mandalorian, which everyone has seen, what was it like to return to that character and do that hand-to-hand combat and do things that we hadn’t really seen in a Star Wars movie before?

Morrison: I think that was a blessing for me in a way, in terms of Boba Fett’s history. No one’s actually seen him do anything besides stand there. And of course, his claim to fame was catching the man, I guess. But other than that, he was a pretty elusive bloke. So this was an opportunity again, to work with Robert Rodriguez, who gave it a little bit of an edge. And I think Robert’s ability was to sort of make a good point of making this guy explode. After it, Jon Favreau come up to me and just said, “Congratulations, the fans loved it.”

Rotten Tomatoes: Will we see more of that Boba Fett, the hand-to-hand fighting Boba Fett, in the new series?

Morrison: Well, we can’t say too much, but we’re going to see his past and where he’s been since The Empire Strikes Back. Somebody pointed out he’s been kind of stuck in this one place, and now’s the time to actually go back in time and check out his journey and find out more about him.

But yeah, that was the advantage for me, was that we hadn’t seen him do much. And along with Robert Rodriguez as director, we were able to sort of introduce him in a dynamic way, bring him back in a dynamic way alongside the Mandalorian. It was just an honor to be asked back.

Hey, it could have gone anywhere. It’s a new time, and I think they’re looking for fresh faces. And of course, again, it was either Dave Filoni or Jon Favreau probably meeting, and then had a few discussions. I was just kind of quietly thrilled when I did do the meeting. I saw a couple of concept photos on the wall and there was a guy that looked very, very similar to me. And I kept saying, “Is that me? Yeah, it must be me. Yeah, it is me!”

And then of course, after having a good meeting with these guys and they outlined a few things, it was just wonderful. Again, it was nice to work with these people, and it was just a great opportunity. They brought Robert back in to direct a few more. There’s some wonderful directors involved. It’s hard work now, what we do now, a whole new system, with COVID in place, health and safety regulations.

I just hope I meet the expectations, because you can somehow kind of feel those things. You asked me that question earlier about Occupation – could you feel or sense anything, but definitely on The Book of Boba, you can get more of a sense and a feeling for if it’s working or not.

So I think with being involved with that last series of The Mandalorian and having a reentry, it has created a little bit more expectation. But yeah, I feel good. We’ve done some good work.

En plus de Robert Rodriguez, The Book of Boba Fett rappellera des noms bien connus de The Mandalorian derrière la caméra puisque Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni et Bryce Dallas Howard seront également réalisateurs sur quelques épisodes.
Il n'y a actuellement pas de discussions quant au futur de la série, si elle se limitera à une saison ou non, mais le duo Boba Fett / Fennec Shand n'en est qu'à ses débuts.

Dean Cundey (The Thing, Retour vers le Futur, Jurassic Park pour ne citer qu'eux) sera le directeur de la photographie de plusieurs épisodes du Livre de Boba Fett.
Sam Hargrave, qui avait travaillé en tant que réalisateur de seconde équipe sur la dernière saison de The Mandalorian, réalisera un épisode de ce spin-off.

Ludwig Göransson sera le compositeur de The Book of Boba Fett!
Un documentaire spécial sera d'ailleurs diffusé sur Disney+ le 12 Novembre prochain, revenant sur l'histoire et l'héritage de ce personnage culte, et devrait présenter des images inédites de la série à venir.

La diffusion de la série The Book of Boba Fett débutera le 29 décembre sur Disney+

La bande-annonce en VF :

La bande-annonce a été doublée au Québec (pour les deux personnages principaux), alors que la série The Mandalorian n'avait seulement eu droit à un doublage fait en France :

J'ai vu la bande d'annonce qui n'a fait que confirmer mon scepticisme sur ce projet.

Ok, cette série met en vedette un personne culte de la saga mais que va-t-elle apporter de plus par rapport à la série The Mandalorian ?

Le créneau narratif semble être le même, je pense qu'il y avait mieux à faire dans l'univers et la temporalité de Star Wars plutôt que ce spin off somme toute très similaire à The Mandalorian. Je crains du fan service de base.

Jennifer Beals sera au casting du Livre de Boba Fett.
On peut déjà voir l'actrice dans la bande-annonce, maquillée en Twi'lek.

A quelques semaines de la diffusion de la série télévisée Star Wars : Le Livre de Boba Fett sur Disney+, le célèbre chasseur de primes fait la une du magazine Empire :

Ca va, Temuera Morrison semble moins boudiné dans son armure que lors de la saison 2 de The Mandalorian.

The Book Of Boba Fett Explores The ‘Power Vacuum’ Left By Jabba The Hutt, Says Jon Favreau – Exclusive Images

What a difference five years makes. When Return Of The Jedi saw renowned slug-gangster Jabba The Hutt go down in flames on his exploding sail barge, it marked a heroic moment for Luke Skywalker and friends – and a changing of the guards in the criminal underworld of the Star Wars galaxy, blowing a much-feared figurehead to smithereens, and setting the stage for all kinds of scum and villainy to take his place. As we saw in the post-credits sting of The Mandalorian Season 2, none other than Bib Fortuna had ascended to that throne – before being swiftly dispatched by Boba Fett, with the help of Fennec Shand. Now, in The Book Of Boba Fett, a new era of galactic crime is about to begin.

Picking up where that teaser left off, the series – from The Mandalorian creators Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, and director Robert Rodriguez – will depict the bounty hunter’s foray into crime-boss territory. “There is a power vacuum,” explains Favreau, “because Jabba is gone. Jabba was clearly a very strong and imposing leader, who people were very scared of, and who seemed to rule with an iron fist. You pull somebody like that out of the ecosystem of Tatooine – and Hutt Space in general – and you have the opportunity that’s ripe in the gangster genre.”



Since the dearly departed Fortuna was no Jabba, Boba Fett isn’t exactly inheriting the tightest ship (or, sail barge) – and will have his work cut out trying to carve out some kind of honour among thieves. “Although Boba Fett is a very experienced bounty hunter, he’s not experienced at running a criminal syndicate or managing forces,” Favreau says. “He’s not normally a newcomer. He’s an expert as we see him in most areas. But in this case, he’s trying to transition to another position.” And since the trailer depicts Fett crunching skulls (shortly after declaring his intention to “rule with respect”), we can expect his actions to do a lot of the talking.



“We’ll see a lot more of his true character in this season,” promises Rodriguez, seen swinging some heavy weaponry above in a behind-the-scenes snap. “And you’ll definitely see him have to turn ‘barbarian mode’.” Boba is well and truly back.

EMPIRE MAGAZINE CRACKS OPEN THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT NEW IMAGES OF BOBA FETT AND FENNEC SHAND FROM THE FORTHCOMING DISNEY+ SERIES AS WELL AS A BEHIND-THE-SCENES GLIMPSE AT DIRECTOR ROBERT RODRIGUEZ.

We’re still more than a month away from the premiere of The Book of Boba Fett, streaming exclusively on Disney+ starting December 29. But this week, Empire magazine offered an early peek behind the scenes with set photos and new stills from its exclusive cover story.

Two covers from the special Star Wars issue highlight the notorious bounty hunter. The newsstand edition sees Boba Fett in his reclaimed armor, standing with his blaster on one shoulder, and his ship in the background. The subscriber cover illustrated exclusively for Empire by Max Löffler, imagines the fan-favorite character walking up to Jabba’s palace in the glow of a binary sunset.

Inside, the issue’s cover story tackles the topic of Fett’s resurgence in The Mandalorian Season 2, which set the stage for the new series with a post-credits scene showing Boba and Fennec removing Bib Fortuna from his throne at Jabba’s former palace. The extensive feature includes new images and fresh interviews with creators Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, director Robert Rodriguez, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, and stars Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen

“There is a power vacuum,” Favreau tells the magazine, “because Jabba is gone. Jabba was clearly a very strong and imposing leader, who people were very scared of, and who seemed to rule with an iron fist. You pull somebody like that out of the ecosystem of Tatooine — and Hutt Space in general — and you have the opportunity that’s ripe in the gangster genre.”

The issue will also include insights on other forthcoming projects, with Kennedy discussing Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprising their prequel trilogy roles in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. “The thing that was most exciting was being on the set and watching the two of them get excited,” Kennedy tells Empire. “They hadn’t seen one another in a long time. I was surprised at just how incredibly emotional it was for each of them to find themselves back in these roles, and just realizing how important Star Wars was to each of them. It was the beginning of their careers.”

The special issue of Empire hits stands November, 25, 2021.

Est-ce qu'on connaît déjà la durée des épisodes ? j'espère que c'est plus long que ceux de la saison 1 de The Mandalorian
