Disney + upcoming project The Book of Boba Fett is likely to equal The Mandalorian Season 1’s $100 million budget. Lucasfilm has announced a year ago about several new Star Wars heading to the streaming platform in the years to come, along with its latest live-action arriving in two weeks.

The movie will see Boba and Fennec establishing their hold on Tatooine’s seedy underbelly, further which is likely to be a mystery. It is also expected to have a major plot twist in the second half.

The number is slightly high for a television show. Marvel’s Disney shows has reportedly amounted to $25 million per episode, while the cancelled HBO Game Of Thrones prequel shelled out $30 million for the pilot alone. Amazon’s The Lord of Rings has beaten them all and is standing out to be the most expensive show of all time, costing upto $465 million for the first season. When Boba Fett’s $100 million is divided across the seven episodes, which amounts to $14 million per instalment, it seemingly weighs nearly as costly as the others.
