Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, The Book of Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison teased some exciting developments regarding what will come later in Season 1.

“Yes, full of surprises. The Book of Boba ‘full of surprises’ series. Yeah, we’ve got some good stuff coming up. Ooh, wait till episode seven, wow!

Morrison also shared some of his behind-the-scenes experiences regarding his involvement with the show, looking back to his time meeting show creator Jon Favreau on the set of 2009's Couples Retreat. This movie helped their relationship begin as Favreau was working on Iron Man, and the two bonded over the idea of bringing Boba Fett back to the Star Wars world in some form:

“Sometimes, life is about relationships, and while I didn’t get to do much on Couples Retreat, I got to meet Jon. And at that time, he was prepping to direct Iron Man. So he obviously sat around a table where they said, ‘Well, Boba’s got to look like Jango [Fett], so let’s see what Tem is doing.’ So I had this wonderful opportunity to get back on this journey, this vessel, this walker, and it’s been exciting and thrilling.”
