The most recent episode of “The Mandalorian” showed up on Disney+ more than a year ago. And while we’ve had some “Star Wars” material on the streaming service in the time since (“Star Wars: Visions,” the anthology anime series was particularly delightful), it’s been a very long time since we’ve seen a taciturn man in a mask kick otherworldly ass. Thankfully, that drought is over and “The Book of Boba Fett,” a spin off of “The Mandalorian” that was introduced in a post-credits sequence at the end of season two finale, is here.
Instead of a new character, “The Book of Boba Fett” stars an icon of the “Star Wars” galaxy, who, until “The Mandalorian,” was thought long dead.
