Danny Trejo’s unexpected appearance on the newest episode of The Book of Boba Fett has Star Wars fans losing it. We should have expected Danny Trejo to appear in Robert Rodriguez’s series because he frequently collaborates with him, as an executive producer. Still, viewers were shocked by Trejo’s part as a rancor keeper.
However, the secret has now been revealed, and Trejo has responded to his Star Wars debut on social media by uploading an exciting behind-the-scenes photo from the shoot. This shot shows Trejo with Temuera Morrison (Boba Fett himself), who is wearing a nose ring, and the huge head of the rancor puppet with
“Machete finally made it into space, Star Wars!” Trejo joked in his caption to the image on Twitter, referencing the famous unmade third entry in the Machete movie franchise, Machete Kills… In Space! “It was great working with Temuera Morrison and others on #TheBookOfBobaFett!”

Unfortunately, while Machete 3 appears to be a film that will never see the light of day, at least we now have Trejo in a sci-fi scenario in another franchise.
Following his involvement in episode 4, “The Streets of Mos Espa,” it’s uncertain whether Trejo will be back. When the Hutt twins admitted to sending Wookiee assassin Black Krrsantan after Boba Fett as punishment, they gave him a rancor baby as an apology. Trejo played the role of rancor keeper, who was tasked with caring for the creature.
The Book of Boba Fett continues next Wednesday on Disney Plus.
