Ming Na-Wen has confirmed on Twitter that The Book of Boba Fett has completed filming with the hashtag #wrapgift: https://twitter.com/MingNa/status/1402290182779375618?s=20

I hope we can add this information into the show's wiki page.

And, this is not the first time Ming Na-Wen has said filming on The Book of Boba Fett has wrapped. She also said filming on the series wrapped earlier last week during an interview on a 501st Legion Fan Charity Livestream at around 6 hours and 56 minutes in: https://twitter.com/501stLegion/status/1401480174126858243?s=20.

RossButsy Please stop changing a valid third party source to the primary StarWars.com one. Absolutely no reason to be doing this, and you are now edit-warring. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:57, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

“Primary” “Third party” I mean you’ve just proven my point. My edits are completely righteous. RossButsy (talk) 15:02, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How so? Please familiarize yourself with WP:PSTS, WP:INDEPENDENT, and Wikipedia:Identifying and using self-published works as you seem to be uninformed regarding this. StarWars.com is a self-published/primary source, and should generally be avoided to cite material in Star Wars-related articles when independent, reliable, third-party sources (such as the trades: Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline) present the same information. That is the case here, and your actions are viewed as being disruptive in addition to edit warring. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:20, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You’re not worth my time. RossButsy (talk) 15:41, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You wasted the time of three editors with your disruptive editing. You don't get to be huffy about whether your time is worth the discussion. Rusted AutoParts 20:25, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe some aspects will be taken from Tales from Jabba's Palace and Tales of the Bounty Hunters, so I am not sure if we should be including a see also to those, or some kind of note to those two books. Govvy (talk) 10:10, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If there are reliable sources now or once episodes release that definitely connect those to what occurs in the series (not just speculate), then yeah, sounds like a good idea to add them as See Alsos if they aren't integrated into the actual article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:16, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Please add David Klein as one of the two cinematographers that photographed this project. Klein shot 5 of 7 episodes and Cundey shot 2. I can put you in touch with them personally or their representatives if necessary. Thank you.

This does not require an administrator.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:17, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are literally asking a mod to add in information you refuse to provide a source for? That’s seriously all you need to do: link a non-IMDB reliable source. Stop coming back after a certain amount of time to put Klein back in unsourced, stop asking mods to do it for you, source it. Rusted AutoParts 01:09, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Right on. Understood, thank you and info is much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dakafett (talk • contribs) 08:26, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think the lead should be changed to this and i am open to discussion.

The Book of Boba Fett is an American space Western television series created by Jon Favreau for the streaming service Disney+. It is part of the Star Wars franchise and is a spin-off from the series The Mandalorian. It stars Temuera Morrison as the title character and Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand, with both actors reprising their roles from The Mandalorian and other Star Wars media. It takes place after the events of Return of the Jedi and exists alongside the other series The Mandalorian and Ahsoka.

Several attempts were made at developing a standalone Star Wars film centered on Boba Fett before Lucasfilm began prioritizing its streaming series such as The Mandalorian. A potential spin-off series was first reported in November 2020 and was officially announced in December. Filming had begun by that point, and lasted until June 2021. It premiered on December 29, 2021, and will run for seven episodes until February 9, 2022.

There should be no citation in the lead unless it is a quote. (WP:LEADCITE) This article only needs two paragraphs because it is fewer than 15,000 charaters. (WP:LEADLENGTH)

Also I think this sentence, It stars Temuera Morrison as the title character and Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand, with both reprising their roles from The Mandalorian and other Star Wars media. Can be changed to, It stars Temuera Morrison as the title character Boba Fett, who is a bounty hunter and crime lord, and Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand, who is an elite mercenary and assassin, with both reprising their roles from The Mandalorian and other Star Wars media. But that seem a bit clunky. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 02:20, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We can vote on it. Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 02:20, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You need to give an explanation for why you want to make the changes, and we don't tend to have voting like that unless there is a clear proposal or set of options (and even then there is usually a discussion first). If you have an issue with the current lead format (which is pretty standard for TV articles) then please raise those specific issues here and allow an actual discussion to take place. - adamstom97 (talk) 05:54, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamstom.97: Gotcha, and the reason is because I think it looks better like that because some of the sentences in the lead look clunky like this one “It is part of the Star Wars franchise, taking place after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983), and is a spin-off from the series The Mandalorian featuring the crime lord and bounty hunter Boba Fett from that series and other Star Wars media.“ The lead I want to change it to really doesn’t change it that much either. But we don’t have to do it I’m just throwing a suggestion out there. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 13:02, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can I upload an image of the actual poster ore is there a reason we are specifically using the logo. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 14:00, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is pretty standard practice for TV series articles to use the logo. If we get multiple seasons of this series and make individual season articles we can use the poster then. You can see an example of this with the Mandalorian articles. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamstom.97:Thanks for the response. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 00:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A photograph of the poster at an off angel can be consider fair use, but I think there is still a grey area there. Govvy (talk) 17:29, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Govvy: I’m confused by what you said. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 17:50, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If took a photo like the one in the info box on the Piccadilly Circus, of the poster, fair use. etc. Govvy (talk) 18:40, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty sure Black Krrasantan isn't confirmed to be the Wookie bounty hunter, even with the fan speculation likely pointing to it being him. That being said, should we keep Black Krrasantan in the recap of the episode and add him to the cast and characters list(even if we don't know the actor), or should we remove him from the article until we get confirmation it's him in a future announcement or episode? JDA 78 (talk) 18:05, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When I was putting in information for the reception on the second episode I saw a bunch of reliable sources say it was him. So I say keep it. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 19:25, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here is one from Polygon. I know there are others too. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 19:29, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just found a confirmed source for Krrasantan https://tvline.com/2022/01/06/book-of-boba-fett-video-temuera-morrison-ming-na-wen-hutts-krrsantan-wookiee/. Safe to say we add him even though we may not know the actor JDA 78 (talk) 16:02, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The cast should include the Tusken Cheftain (Xavier Jimenez), Tusken Warrior (Joanna Bennett), and Tusken Kid (Wesley Kimmel). Considering their role, much bigger than others listed as "Cast".

@JDA 78: Is their a reliable source to back this up? ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 03:53, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaleeb18: The episode credits, I believe. Loqiical (talk) 07:45, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
