Borg assimilation. Brutal torture at the hands of Cardassians. Showdowns with far too many scheming Romulans to count. And, of course, that time Q zapped him into a Robin Hood-inspired fantasy world.

‘Full of Surprises’ Lucasfilm In a slight change from the pattern established by “The Mandalorian,” which gave us two seasons of eight episodes each, the first season of “The Book of Boba Fett” is scheduled to air only seven individual hours.
