We've been told to expect some big surprises in the season finale of The Book of Boba Fett, but it's probably safe to assume nobody anticipated a visit from our furry old friends the Ewoks!
While participating in a Buzzfeed video, TBOBF stars Ming-Na Wen (Fennec Shand) and Temuera Morrison (Boba Fett) were asked which Star Wars creature they'd travel across the galaxy to steal, and the latter chose an Ewok because he found them "great to work with."
This has led to speculation that we could be seeing the Return of the Jedi's diminutive Endor dwellers at some point in the last few episodes of the series, but we reckon Morrison might simply be having a bit of fun here! The actor did also play Boba's father Jango in Attack of the Clones, but didn't encounter any Ewoks as far as we can recall!
Wen's reaction doesn't really tell us much, unfortunately, but check out the video for yourselves below and see what you make of Morrison's comments.
The Ewoks proved to be a somewhat divisive addition to Star Wars canon when they debuted in TROTJ, and we haven't seen a whole lot of them since. An appearance in The Book of Boba Fett is not outside the realm of possibility, of course, but we have no idea how they'd factor in to the story or even make it to Tatooine. Maybe Fett will pay a visit to Endor?
Yeah, we're sticking with our theory that Morrison is messing with us!
