The latest episode of Disney+’s The Book of Boba Fett just introduced a new world, but its form reminded many viewers of the ring-shaped structures in the Halo video game series. While The Book of Boba Fett typically tells the story of Boba Fett after the events of The Mandalorian, this episode focused on the Mandalorian himself, Din Djarin. Still coming to terms with giving up Grogu, The Mandalorian‘s Din Djarin found the two remaining members of his Mandalorian covert on an unnamed, ring-shaped space station. A massive structure covered by an entire city, The Book of Boba Fett’s ringworld is reminiscent of Halo’s rings.
Halo is a popular military science fiction video game series. Halo’s backstory involves the Forerunners, an alien species that sought to protect the galaxy from alien parasites called the Flood. As a last resort, the Forerunners built the Halo Array. These ring-shaped structures were both weapons, capable of destroying all sentient life in the galaxy – and even planets – with each structure complete with its own atmosphere and ecosystem.
