While The Book of Boba Fett didn’t quite reach the heights of its live-action Star Wars counterpart, The Mandalorian, it still managed to hit a number of thrilling narrative moments over the course of its seven-episode run. The new program was a hit for Disney, with Mark Hamill reprising his role as Luke Skywalker and Rosario Dawson reprising her role as Ahsoka Tano, and even touching on Mando’s saga alongside Boba Fett and Fennec Shand’s quest.
Now that Summer 2022 is approaching, it’s time for Disney and Lucasfilm to start campaigning for The Book of Boba Fett’s award season, which will begin in just a few months. Lucasfilm is hoping for a similar run of success with Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen’s solo series, as The Mandalorian has been a hit at the Emmy Awards for the past two years, winning more than a dozen awards since 2020.
While reactions to Boba Fett’s Disney+ launch were mixed, Lucasfilm’s reemergence into the spotlight as a result of its streaming additions is still significant for the firm. Now, as awards season approaches, the studio is putting out its best effort to ensure that Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the second live-action Disney+ series, receives some attention.
The Book of Boba Fett’s award campaign has officially begun ahead of the 2022 Emmy Awards. Producers, directors, writers, actors, and nearly every behind-the-scenes crew person connected with the show were among the dozens of names submitted by the studio in 26 different categories.
Along with filmmakers Robert Rodriguez and Bryce Dallas Howard, show creators Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni topped the pack. Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen, who co-starred in the film, are also up for best main actor and actress, respectively.
In addition, Mark Hamill and Rosario Dawson were nominated for their respective portrayals as Luke Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano in the guest actor category.
Lucasfilm is undoubtedly hoping for more gear in support of The Book of Boba Fett’s Disney+ campaign, though it’s uncertain how successful it will be in the end.
Boba Fett may have a chance to win more technical honours than WandaVision did for the MCU, despite the fact that the programme didn’t match up to its predecessor in terms of content and fan reception. It hasn’t appeared in most major news organisations’ predictions for likely winners in the larger categories, but that doesn’t mean it will be completely ignored.
Whatever happens with this new programme, Lucasfilm and Disney are putting their best foot forward to ensure that its cast and crew win any and all accolades available, especially after surpassing the company’s viewership records.
On Disney+, all seven episodes of The Book of Boba Fett are now accessible to watch.
