Calling all Star Wars geeks: The Book of Boba Fett is out: The spinoff Disney+ fantasy series focuses on the story of legendary galactic bounty hunter Boba Fett — who was resurrected in a shocking twist in the Mandalorean’s second season. The resurrected Boba Fett is teaming up with fellow bounty hunter Fennec to take over the defunct crime empire of Jabba the Hutt, who was killed in Return of the Jedi. From the trailer we get the impression that Boba wants to turn a new leaf and establish a more “ethical” criminal empire (New Republic ESG requirements, we guess), whatever that means. Director Robert Rodriguez (Desperados, From Dusk Till Dawn) is apparently at the helm. You can watch the trailer here (watch, runtime: 01:48).
⚽ There’s no need to rehash the disaster that was last night’s Afcon match, but in case you haven’t been following along, Egypt lost to Nigeria 0-1 yesterday in a disappointing game and a huge loss for coach Carlos Queiroz. We covered the details of the match in this morning’s AM.
Nonetheless, Afcon continues on: Tunisia and Mali hit the field less than an hour ago in a match in Group F. Meanwhile, Mauritania and Gambia are competing in the other Group F match at 6pm while Equatorial Guinea will play against Ivory Coast at 9pm for Group E.
There are three matches in the Egyptian League Cup today: Two of which are finishing up as we dispatch: Misr Lel Makasa versus Al Masry and Eastern Company versus Future. At 5pm, Pyramids will go up against Al Ittihad.
English Premier League: West Ham will face Norwich City at 9:45pm tonight.

If you’re scratching your head, wondering how to transition your business to be more green, this is the book for you: The Sustainability Scorecard by Urvashi Bhatnagar and Paul Anastas explains how sustainable supply chains are economically and ecologically favorable by creating repeatable and reliable processes that address model design and key performance indicators. The book introduces a straightforward scorecard that business owners can use to judge the sustainability of their supply chains and suggestions on how to employ cost-saving sustainable solutions. In the process, businesses will realize that these sustainable supply chains are more profitable than their traditional alternatives as they remove hidden supply costs and toxic inputs, the authors argue.
