Meet Steph Green, ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ Episode 2’s Oscar and Emmy-Nominated Director

The Book of Boba Fett Episode 2 “The Tribes of Tatooine” went full throttle in more ways than one. In the present day timeline, following Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) as they jockey for power in Mos Espa, we finally met the tricksy mayor (voiced by Robert Rodriguez), a pair of imposing Hutt twins, and Marvel Comics’s Black Krrsantan. Then in Boba’s flashbacks, we learned how the former bounty hunter became an official Tusken by spearheading a thrilling attack on a high-speed freight train. Whether we’re talking about the return of Max Rebo, cameos from Luke Skywalker’s old Toschi Station buddies, or Boba Fett’s “Speeder School,” the second episode of The Book of Boba Fett was a Star Wars nerd’s dream come true. And a lot of what worked was thanks to the episode’s director, Steph Green.

While Star Wars nerds and cinephiles might have been super familiar with The Book of Boba Fett‘s lead director, Robert Rodriguez, Steph Green is probably more of an enigma. Nevertheless, she is an Oscar-nominated and Emmy-nominated director who has been in charge of some our favorite episodes of television. Here’s everything you need to know about Book of Boba Fett director Steph Green…

WHO IS STEPH GREEN? THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT EPISODE 2 DIRECTOR?

Steph Green is a writer, producer, and director who first burst onto the scene with her Oscar-nominated short film New Boy in 2007. She followed that up with her feature film debut, Run & Jump in 2013. Since then, Green has made a name for herself as a television director. Steph Green has directed episodes of everything from ABC’s smash Shondaland hit Scandal to AMC’s critically-acclaimed The Americans. She’s directed installments of Luke Cage, Bates Motel, Preacher, and even comedies, like You’re the Worst.

That said, Steph Green is probably best known for directing one of the best standalone episodes of HBO’s Watchmen: “Little Fear of Lightning.” That episode opened with Looking Glass’s horrific backstory and followed the trauma that the 1985 incident wrecked on survivors. Green was nominated for an Emmy for that episode and followed it up with work on The L Word: Generation Q (which coincidentally stars Book of Boba Fett actress Jennifer Beals) and Dare Me.

The Book of Boba Fett “The Tribes of Tatooine” is far from Steph Green’s first show-stopping foray as a TV director, but it might be the one to put her on the road to being a household directorial name.
