Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett is getting another chapter through Marvel Comics, and the upcoming sixth issue is bringing back a fan-favorite character whose story was left hanging in the Disney+ series. Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett #6 is scheduled to arrive on November 25, 2026, continuing to explore the events and characters surrounding Boba Fett’s corner of the galaxy. The new issue is shaping up to be much bigger than a simple return to Tatooine, according to League of Comic Geeks. Alongside Boba Fett and his allies, the story features Din Djarin, Grogu, Ahsoka Tano, Luke Skywalker, Cad Bane, and Cobb Vanth. With one storyline revisiting Grogu’s future and another bringing Cobb back into conflict with Cad Bane, the comic has plenty of familiar faces and unresolved tensions to explore. Cobb Vanth Returns For A Major Cad Bane Showdown Cobb Vanth is the biggest returning character in The Book of Boba Fett #6, and his comeback could finally give fans more of the rivalry that the live-action series ended far too quickly. Vanth became an important figure in the modern Star Wars timeline after appearing in The Mandalorian, where he was introduced as the marshal of Mos Pelgo and wore Boba Fett’s old armor. His story took a dramatic turn in The Book of Boba Fett when Cad Bane confronted him. The veteran bounty hunter shot Cobb during their confrontation, leaving his fate uncertain for much of the story. Because their encounter was so brief compared with the history and potential surrounding both characters, Cobb’s return in the Marvel comic is especially exciting. The official preview of the comic promises a “chilling standoff” between Cobb Vanth and Cad Bane, suggesting that their unfinished business is becoming a central part of the issue. Rodney Barnes writes the 40-page comic, while Will Sliney provides the artwork and Phil Noto supplies the main cover. The issue is priced at $5.99 USD and carries a January 2027 cover date, despite its November 25 release. Grogu's Future Is Put Under The Microscope Cobb is not the only familiar character getting important material in the new issue. Din Djarin also returns, and the preview reveals that the Mandalorian delivers a gift for Grogu to Ahsoka Tano. That setup immediately brings one of the most important decisions from The Book of Boba Fett back into focus: what exactly should Grogu do next? Grogu had been training with Luke Skywalker after returning to his Jedi path, but The Book of Boba Fett ultimately ended with him choosing Din over continuing his training. That decision directly influenced the events of The Mandalorian Season 3, where Grogu continued traveling with Din throughout the galaxy. The comic now appears ready to revisit that pivotal period. The comic preview asks whether Grogu will remain with Luke or rejoin Din, while Ahsoka, Luke, and R2-D2 are all listed among the supporting characters. That makes the story especially interesting because it gives Marvel room to examine Grogu’s choice from another perspective. Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, and Black Krrsantan are also involved, tying the new material back to the wider cast of the Disney+ series. By combining Cobb Vanth’s return with a closer look at Grogu’s path, Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett #6 has the ingredients for one of the comic’s most significant chapters yet. The issue arrives November 25, 2026, offering fans another trip to the era established by the original series while revisiting characters whose stories still have plenty of room to grow.
