Boba Fett played by a 61 year old man


Now why the hell would they do that? πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ looks ridiculous , should have been half that age

Guess they don't plan on it being a long series

Its kind of a tough decision, on the one hand he is without question too old. However he is the actor that played the clones, Jango and adult Boba fett (in prequels). Many SW fans would prefer the original actor or at least the actor they have come to associate with the character rather than a recast. He is still fit enough for the part, and it would be a little surprising if the series ran for long enough that his age would become more of an issue than it already is.

Agreed

Boba Fett was an inept clown who was delivered a punchline silly demise in the movies. Having him played by an old fat guy is right on point. He wasn't even successful in capturing Solo, it took the work of Vader and Lando's betrayal. He was always a joke of a character.

reply

He might be 61 but he'll mess you up in real life. He's a Maori Warrior. You should watch Once Were Warriors when he was in his prime.

reply

maybe, but according to cannon, Boba is around 30-40 years old.

also, if you want the series to last for 6-7 seasons.... see, then you are talking retirement home fighting

reply

According to a military weapon?

LOL


"That would make Boba Fett 41-42-years-old in The Book of Boba Fett's β€œpresent day” storyline, though the dream sequences are much earlier. Showing Fett's escape from the Sarlacc, these scenes likely pick up a few days after Return of the Jedi, so he's still around 36 "

reply

Yeah, I attribute his rugged look to the Saarlac damage.

That said, I'd rather this be a limited series that a dragged out multi-season show. Maybe that's what they're thinking as well.

He looked so lame fighting - like he had arthritis. They were trying to speed up some of the punches in post but it just looked stupid. The whole episode fell flat.

reply

No. Temuera Morrison is quite sexy.

reply

sure.....but the show is about fighting and stuff, not fucking

reply

😴😴😴

reply

I'm okay with it, but I do think he's a little old.

reply

To be honest, at the beginning of the first chapter I thought more or less the same, but after a while I did not think about it anymore. I am glad that they took Morrison for that.
