But Grace Randolph told me Book of Boba Fett is Mandalorian Season 3.
She's never wrong like when she said Sony own the copyrights to the Spider-Man character and Marvel has to ask them permission to write comics based on him and Disney has to work with Sony on merchandising the product!

She's doubling down on the Mando thing even after Favreau debunked it.

She blocked me on twitter when I pointed out how wrong she was on her Spider-Man claim. What is she saying now?
I'd really like to see Boba meet up with some surviving clone soldiers for a odd sort of family reunion. They really really undersell how done wrong all those clone guys were by the Republic and presumably the Empire. I know some showed up in Rebels, but did they ever really say what happened to all those guys. I imagine giant pits of clone bones at this point.
But otherwise, seems like a Fett show will just be what we all though Mando would be, some bounty hunter badassness! Unless he gets a mission to hunt down Sabine or something and it just turns into another mando show. I expect a LOT of planets to look like the hill country around Austin

That the fact that Mando S3 is filming after Boba is proof she was right about her bullshit lies about all of it.

Well like Mando it hopefully means they get involved deeply enough to keep things on course, and taking duties directing here and there also like on Mando.

You need to keep in mind that they are working on 3 other shows.
Mandalorian together.
I think Feloni is in charge of Ahsoka.
Favraeu in charge of Rangers of the New Republic.
Their workload has more than doubled just with these 3 shows. As great as it would be to have them have more creative control with Boba Fett there would be an increased risk of lower quality if they spread themselves too thin. Favraeu and Feloni were given an opportunity with Mando so other creatives should be given a chance with other shows as well, they might make even better things than Mando.

Think it depends also when the shows are actually filming. I'm sure theres going to be more work, also why Rodriguez was made a producer now too, but I imagine they will still be involved directly at times if these are being filmed in stage. This is where they can show how it's done, where the ST kinda failed in that they really clearly didn't have a coherent solid work plan between all these directors, writers, and disney execs going. Like Marvel, they need some good people at the top overseeing it all and keeping things on track.

Fuck yeah! Gimmie more 25min long episodes ....
Please not another weak escort mission across 16 episodes (2 years), where the protagonist in good mmorpg fashion tries to fullfil every quest-giver´s needs.

Well he just did Battle Angel. He can emulate almost any director and tone he wants.I just realized, since Robert Rodriguez is involved, could this be the long awaited return of...?

As long as they keep oversight of the whole thing and not everybody just doing whatever they want (hey Rian Johnson) with the material, it will be fine.

Being that he's an Original Trilogy (OT) character himself, I wonder if Boba will get a visit from some old acquaintances from before? I mean, we've already had Luke Skywalker make an appearance in the season finale of The Mandalorian. While I don't want a visit from OT characters to be a regular thing going forward, but it'd be nice to see an odd rare cameo just to tie this series to the OT.
The most obvious cameo would be Han and Chewbacca:
Han probably would probably be a bit concerned that the guy who delivered him to Jabba the Hutt is still active on Tatooine.
Another probable one would be Lando, since he was present when Jabba's barge blew up.

They've already been establishing what Han and Lando are up to post-ROTJ. Han basically retired as a New Republic general and is racing starships.
Lando helps Luke track down the Jedi hunter from TROS. There was a larger story to that that JJ Abrams cut out and changed with reshoots. Originally, Lando had a daughter (Jannah) that he was staying on Pasanna to wait for (it mirrored Rey wanting to stay on Jakku to wait for her parents), explaining that the First Order came for the children of the Rebellion and his daughter was one taken. But JJ got chicken and wanted to play it safe so that line of dialog on Pasanna was cut and the "Well lets find out" scene between Lando and Jannah was added in reshoots.

The dude put himself through medical drug trials just to get enough money to pay for his first movie.
BTW they're apparently starting to talk about another Alita now.

So? Doesn't mean they can't take the time off to check on the news that Boba Fett has returned. For Han it would be personal since Fett was one of the many bounty hunters Jabba sent after him. Lando too I imagine would be concerned since he was one of those involved in Boba getting swallowed by the Sarlacc Pit.
Again, this is just pure speculation on my part, but there's no reason to think the writers can't come up with scenarios like these. But I definitely don't want repeated cameos from OT characters to distract people from the new ones. We don't want a repeat of Tarkin from Rogue One.

Rodriguez is such a hit and miss director for me. Never watched any of his kids movies, but his regular stuff ranges from either entertaining to awful. His debut El Mariachi was a fucking good for a movie made on a budget of $20,000. It's sequel, Desperado, was a bit of a downgrade despite the bigger budget, but still mindless fun. Once Upon a Time in Mexico was fucking awful though, as was From Dusk till Dawn.
This has been my experience with his filmography. For every good film he makes, such as Planet Terror and Sin City, he can make dumb schlock like Machete (it was way better as a trailer). Alita Battle Angel was awesome though, but I think that has more to do with it being really James Cameron's project that he agreed to direct.
He literally suffered for his art. I have mad respect at him for that.
