Disney+ Day 2021: Guide for Boba Fett Fans
Commemorating the day Disney’s streaming service first booted up, today is Disney+ Day. With “The Book of Boba Fett” just 47 days away from premiering, the parent company of Lucasfilm is turning up the volume of Boba Fett content — and we’re ready for it.
Under The Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett
The 21-minute documentary is now available worldwide on Disney+. It features new interviews with (in order of appearance) Ben Burtt, Joe Johnston, George Lucas, Dave Filoni, Pete Vilmur, Duwayne Dunham, Steve Sansweet, Maureen Bulloch, Jeremy Bulloch (archival), Glenn Randall Jr., Daniel Logan, Kathleen Kennedy, Temuera Morrison, and Ming-Na Wen.
While mostly showing content we’ve seen before, there’s a little bit of new archival behind-the-scenes footage like Glenn Randall Jr. speaking on set and doing several stunts; more parade footage of Duwayne Dunham walking and signing autographs; Slave I bluescreen footage; and Temuera behind the scenes in Season 2 of The Mandalorian.
Spoiler alert: no new “Book” footage. Noticeably absent from the history lesson was Jason Wingreen, who was the original voice of Boba Fett. Several other actors who played Boba Fett also weren’t mentioned.
Funko
First spotted as a placeholder on Best Buy’s website, both Amazon and Entertainment Earth have the “The Book of Boba Fett” Boba Fett POP and Keychain up for pre-order now. The new look mirrors his appearance in the trailer for “The Book of Boba Fett,” which is a little different than his re-armored look in Season 2 of “The Mandalorian.”
Also, at 7pm Pacific, Funko tweeted a giveaway opportunity for a chance to win one of the “Nomad” Boba Fett POPs!
Fortnite
The popular video game will have a “The Book of Boba Fett” theme starting December 24th.
Official Star Wars Page on Facebook’s “Now Streaming” Goof
While the official Star Wars page on Facebook jumped the gun, posting a “now streaming” pic when the show isn’t yet streaming, it’s nice to see more new artwork featured in this banner.
Rock ‘Em Socks
The company which has official Star Wars and Boba Fett socks announced on Twitter today the following: “Stake your claim to the throne with our upcoming collection celebrating ‘The Book of Boba Fett.’ 10+ designs launching as part of our biggest Black Friday drop EVER on November 25th!”
Disney+ Balloon Tour
Spotted in Nashville, Tennessee (photographed by Catherine Powell), the “dented” balloon was also was shown in New York City and Los Angeles for the week of Disney+ Day. In fact, today it’s at the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles.
The #DisneyPlusDay #BobaFett balloon is in Santa Monica, California today — although it’s upstaged a little by Maggie Simpson.
The Inflatable Balloon Tour was previously in Nashville, Tennessee and New York City, New York this week.
