Temuera Morrison Says He's 'Sad' Not to Have Played Boba Fett Since the Divisive Disney+ show The Book of Boba Fett: 'I've Been Preserved for a Later Date'

What’s happening with Boba Fett? The past clip we saw the legendary Star Wars quality was astatine the extremity of his ain show, The Book of Boba Fett, successful February 2022. Yes, the Disney+ spin-off bid was divisive, with immoderate Star Wars fans feeling it went excessively acold successful softening the iconic villain's character. But that can’t beryllium it for Boba Fett, tin it?

Over 3 years later, it feels similar The Book of Boba Fett Season 2 is stuck successful a postulation far, acold away. Lucasfilm has fixed nary denotation that the amusement volition return, with adjacent year’s The Mandalorian & Grogu movie possibly the champion accidental of a live-action reprisal. Will determination beryllium a The Mandalorian Season 4? Lucasfilm has yet to say, but if it does happen, possibly Boba Fett would popular up there.

In truth, the aboriginal of Boba Fett and Temuera Morrison, the histrion who plays him, successful the Star Wars franchise remains uncertain. And based connected caller comments from Morrison himself, determination is small crushed to deviate from that position.

Speaking successful an interrogation with Collider to beforehand his caller film, Ka Whawhai Tonu (In The Fire of War), the 64-year-old New Zealander said helium felt "sad" not to person reprised the relation since the extremity of The Book of Boba Fett.

“Where [sic] The Book of Boba Fett Season 2? Where the hellhole is Season 2?" Morrison said. "I cognize they're doing Ahsoka Season 2. I'm going, 'Ah, where's my Season 2?'"

According to Collider, Morrison revealed helium really pitched Lucasfilm connected Boba Fett appearing successful Ahsoka Season 2 ("can I beryllium Rex and instrumentality his helmet off, please?"), pointing retired that helium plays not conscionable Boba Fett but each the clones based upon the character.

He besides bumped into Star Wars stewards Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau recently, and reminded them Boba Fett inactive exists. Apparently “they benignant of said, 'Well, well,' they didn't privation to accidental excessively much, enactment it that way. There was a fewer whispers of — they didn't privation to accidental excessively overmuch — but they conscionable near it astatine that."

That speech near Morrison feeling similar "I've been preserved for a aboriginal date, and I'm going to beryllium tastier." He compared his feeling pursuing the brushwood to going to grandma’s location and seeing “that preservative jar of peaches up connected the shelf.”

“That's what I think,” helium continued. “I'm 1 of those peaches, and I've been enactment up connected the shelf. I've been preserved for a aboriginal date, and I'm going to beryllium tastier.”

Morrison could beryllium playing coy, knowing afloat good he’s coming backmost to Star Wars successful immoderate form. After all, Rosario Dawson had nary thought Mark Hamill was returning arsenic Luke Skywalker successful The Mandalorian until helium walked connected set. Lucasfilm has a past of holding its cards adjacent to its chest.

But it does dependable to maine similar thing is successful the works for Boba Fett, unfortunately, and so past twelvemonth Morrison offered a crushed for wherefore that mightiness beryllium the case. Speaking astatine the From Clone Troopers to Bounty Hunters sheet astatine Fan Expo Chicago, Morrison cited The Book of Boba Fett's mediocre reception arsenic the crushed for the erstwhile beloved quality not returning successful Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu. He added that Star Wars proprietor Disney hadn’t asked him to look successful the incoming movie oregon a 2nd play of The Book of Boba Fett.

The show, which told the communicative of Boba Fett arsenic helium escaped from the Sarlacc Pit and acted arsenic a miniature play of The Mandalorian, was among the worst received Star Wars shows. "This show's reception does look to person impacted the aboriginal of the quality successful the franchise," Morrison said astatine the time. That was successful August 2024. Has thing changed successful the twelvemonth since? I'm not sure.

Morrison primitively played Jango Fett successful Star Wars: Episode 2 – Attack of the Clones but years aboriginal rejoined Star Wars arsenic Jango's lad and clone Boba Fett. He's made wide his tendency to instrumentality to Star Wars, saying helium wants a chunk of The Mandalorian's clip conscionable arsenic The Mandalorian led an occurrence of his show.
