Lucasfilm Puts The Book of Boba Fett on Hold and Orders Comic Retelling

The decision reflects a pullback from new live-action seasons following mixed Disney+ reception and a weak theatrical test, with the story to be retold as a seven-issue Marvel comic.

Overview

Lucasfilm has placed The Book of Boba Fett on hold with no second live-action season planned, a status reported on Monday.
Actor Temuera Morrison said he has not been contacted about returning, underscoring that the character is not in the studio’s immediate plans.
Marvel Comics will publish a seven-issue adaptation that retells the Disney+ series, with issue one scheduled for September 9, 2026 and the remaining issues to follow into 2027.
The move follows a string of uneven Disney+ Star Wars shows and a modest theatrical run for The Mandalorian & Grogu, which opened to about $98.1 million over Memorial Day weekend and has earned roughly $315.1 million worldwide against a reported $165 million budget.
Lucasfilm’s choice signals a shift to lower-cost formats and downstream revenue streams to keep properties active while it reassesses sending streaming-origin projects to cinemas.
