'The Book of Boba Fett' wrapped up production for Dec. 2021 debut on Disney+

Fans of Star Wars and The Mandalorian have something to look forward to before the year ends. The Book of Boba Fett, which stars Temuera Morrison (Aquaman) as the titular character, has already wrapped up production and is scheduled for a December 2021 release ahead of The Mandalorian's third season premiere.

Morrison talked to SFX Magazine about the show without giving too much away. Gizmodo shared a quote from Morrison talking about how filming was like during the pandemic. He said: "You walk on set, and you hear, 'Shields down! Shields down!' So we have to air those studios out every 20 minutes. It's called a purge, so you know you've got a toilet break then. There's a lot to shoot in one day, but with health and safety and the requirements, it filters out a lot of the bullshit, put it that way."

Google continues to expand the augmented reality objects that you can find in Search. This time, it targets The Mandalorian fans. You can search for either Baby Yoda or Grogu (a.k.a. The Child's official name as revealed in the show's second season) on mobile, and it will pull up a Knowledge Panel where you can launch a 3D model of the beloved character.

Similar to other AR objects in Search, you can place Grogu in your space, and you can take pictures of the little creature looking cute in your area. He doesn't do much; he just bobs his head around and looks adorable. But we aren't complaining. This fun feature joins the recently launched The Mandalorian AR Experience for some of the newest 5G-enabled Android phones.

These are the 'Star Wars' productions to look forward to

While The Last Jedi might have concluded the Skywalker saga in Star Wars, there's still a lot to look forward to in the coming years. We hear more about what projects are coming up thanks to announcements during Disney's investor day. Lucasfilm has many Star Wars shows coming up on Disney+, so let's take a quick look at them under the cut.

Google offers a 'The Mandalorian' AR experience, but for select 5G phones only

So, 5G seems to be big in the galaxy far, far away as Google and Lucasfilm launch a The Mandalorian augmented reality experience on the 5G Pixel and other "select 5G Android" phones. But as Android Police reports, they could sideload the app on older, 4G-only handsets, and the experience still works. The experience is built on ArCore, so it will presumably work on phones that support that.

The Mandalorian AR Experience turns you into a bounty hunter following the trail of Mando and the Child. It will let you interact with characters and learn more about the Star Wars show's first season. You can even take the snowy scenes into your home and share these with others. 

As part of Star Wars' Mando Monday, Google even promises Pixel owners to "keep an eye out for additional exclusive content outside of the app as well."
