The credits of the final episode "Chapter 16: The Rescue", published on Disney + at midnight on December 18, now conclude with a tribute in honor of the actor who for formerly donned the armor of the dreaded bounty hunter in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and 1983's Star Wars. Bulloch's successor, Daniel Logan, who played a young Boba Fett in 2002's Star Wars: Attack of the Clones , was the first to announce the death of Jeremy Bulloch. The dedication appears before the episode's post-credits scene, in which Boba Fett, played in The Mandalorian by Temuera Morrison, and Fennec Shand, played by Ming-Na Wen, claim the throne of Jabba the Hutt. The titles announce an upcoming spin-off, The Book of Boba Fett, created by Jon Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni.
In a first tribute to Jeremy Bulloch, Lucasfilm said the Star Wars veteran will be remembered not only for his iconic portrayal of the legendary character, but also for his warmth and generous spirit, which have become a a lasting part of his rich heritage. On Twitter there was certainly no lack of messages of condolence from the cast. Billy Dee Williams, Lando Calrissian in the chapters Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, paid tribute to the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. Mark Hamill, star of the saga as Luke Skywalker, recalled Jeremy Bulloch as the "quintessential English gentleman" calling him a good actor, a delightful company and an extremely kind man. All episodes of The Mandalorian are now streaming on Disney +.
