Star Wars: The Art Of ‘Book Of Boba Fett’
The Book of Boba Fett‘s closing credits always had beautiful concept art from the episode– these are a few of our favorites.
Regardless of how you’ve felt about the recent live-action additions to the Star Wars TV shows, it’s hard to deny how good the closing credit art has been. Concept art has always been one of our favorite things to highlight here, and The Book of Boba Fett handed it to us upfront and right away. There’s a lot more over on StarWars.Com, but these area few of our favorites.
Chapter 1
Art by Christian Alzmann
Boba Fett‘s escape from the Sarlacc pit has been covered in Legends, comics, common sense, and now in live-action. While the sequence is by-and-large the same across mediums, it’s always exciting to see. This one was chock full of references to previous takes on the escape. And the concept art does an incredible job of showing the struggle and how unforgiving he desert can be.

Boba fights the Tusken Raiders a number of times in the early episodes, but this concept art makes it clear that they’re not yet friends. Everything from the colors to the stances gives off a menacing and dangerous feel. Even if we know they’ll be allies by the next episode.
Chapter 2
Art by Christian Alzmann
Teaching the Tusken Raiders to use speeders and rob trains was not where any of us saw this series going, but it was one of the most fun sequences of the season. It felt a little classic-western and a little Mad Max, and the concept art shows it.

This entire scene was wild and it was hard to tell what was real and what was happening entirely within Boba’s mind. This art captures that so well, while also being reminiscent of classic Star Wars. This could just as easily been a vision from a Jedi’s training exercise. But instead it’s where Boba get’s the wood for his gaffi stick.

This is also the episode where we’re introduced to the Twins… Who don’t do much aside from give us an excuse to have Black Krrsantan and a rancor on screen and then disappear back to Nal Hutta. They may have been underutilized in the show, but this concept art isn’t. Even the subtle curve to the litter showing their combined massive weight shows a precursor to the plethora of little details this scene was full of.
Chapter 3

While we don’t see any of the cool teens in this art, we do see their bikes. And those may honestly be more recognizable. It’s hard to tell if they were supposed to have more faded or subdued colors in the original concept art, and this version looks slightly less moped-esque than the final product.

Black Krrsantan was back in this episode to take Boba Fett down a series of pegs. And this art makes him look as terrifying as ever. Fans of the comics know that Krrantan has never been a Wookiee to trifle with. But this concept art is some of the most un-trifle-with-able he has ever looked.

Of course Boba Fett’s trusty pet rancor in their first appearance. This scene was strangely sweet as Boba bonds wit his new pet. Plus it was accompanied by one of the best cameos of the season. Even in the art, you can tell that these two are going to have a unique connection.
Chapter 4
Art by Ryan Church
Does it turn out that he had the wrong guys? Yeah. But Boba doesn’t know that yet. The firepower in this looks good enough to be part of the show.

This is one of Fennec’s first missions with Boba, and she is immediately 100% in for whatever he’s getting himself into. It’s not surprising to see how quickly they formed a rapport. And this concept art shows what a good team they are from their first episode together.
Chapter 5
Art by Brian Matyas
Din’s battle to keep ownership of the Darksaber almost doesn’t go in his favor. Even with their faces the body language in this art manages to express tension with the armorer looking on. Unfortunately we know she’s minutes away from kicking Din out.
Art by Ric Lim
So much of the rest of this episode is spent fixing up an old ship that Din claims not to want at the beginning. It’s an almost relaxing episode as the final battle looms. But sometimes it’s just nice to watch our favorite characters do something low stakes and fulfilling for a little bit.
Chapter 6
Art by Christian Alzmann
Grogu’s Jedi training is, again, reminiscent of classic Star Wars. Luke even pulls out a few of the same tools and tricks as when he was learning to use the Force. Grogu’s training wouldn’t last long, but it was incredibly enjoyable to see the bits that we did.
Art by Ryan Church
Cad Bane coming out of the desert was one of those moments that fans wait for. Even in this art people who know could recognize that silhouette right away. And just like the show, the concept art captures the spaghetti western feel of this scene perfectly.
Chapter 7
Art by Anton Grandert
One of the most significant Chekhov’s Gun of the series, we knew the rancor had to come back eventually. And here he is, doing his best King Kong impression while “saving” the city.
Art by Christian Alzmann
If you’ve been waiting for the Boba Fett v. Cad Bane showdown since it was cut from Clone Wars, this scene was a dream come true. The art here portrays exactly how tense it was, but the block around them is somehow in worse condition than it was in the actual show.
