THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT Star Temuera Morrison Admits There Are Things "I May Have Done A Little Bit Different"

The Book of Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison has shared his gratitude with fans for the response to the Disney+ series, but admits that there are things he would change about the show given a second chance.

The Book of Boba Fett wasn't the Star Wars series some fans hoped for. Rather than showing the bounty hunter in his prime, the show was bogged down by flashbacks and Fett's attempts to take control of Tatooine in the present day. It wouldn't be unfair to say that the best episode was the one focusing on The Mandalorian, but would Temuera Morrison change anything?

"Feeling the love from all the fans, feeling that we've done something good and the reaction I've been getting from the fans is overwhelming," the actor admitted in an interview with Screen Rant (via SFFGazette.com). "[I’m] very proud, and just grateful for the wonderful opportunity to play Boba Fett in The Book of Boba Fett, to work with Ming-Na."

"[It] was a journey for Boba Fett, [from] where we'd found him and where we were taking him; the introduction of the Tuskens, providing that nourishment, that family environment," Morrison continued. "Now that I'm looking back at it, I don't know, it's just one of those things. Things are great when you look back, but there are some things I may have done a little bit different."

He didn't specify what those things might be, but, for the most part, The Book of Boba Fett was a fun ride.

In a separate interview with IGN (also via SFFGazette.com), Morrison discussed [SPOILER ALERT] his surprise cameo in the second episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The actor played a Clone Trooper who was begging for change, and he'd go on to confirm that the show marked the first time he'd donned that familiar armour. 

Reflecting on how his head was placed on countless CG bodies in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, he added that "the only time I got to wear [physical clone trooper armor] was in that little [Obi-Wan Kenobi] cameo appearance." Morrison didn't elaborate on his role in the show beyond that, but it was a fun moment we hope is leading to him playing Captain Rex!

Do you think there was room for improvement where The Book of Boba Fett is concerned?

That clone cameo was best part of the series.

Such an odd feeling seeing him sit there.

@Randomusername - I heard you and 100% agree with what you said. There is something special about seeing in in that armor.

Book Of Fett was such a dispointment

Only got really good when it became Mandalorian season 2.5 and even when Boba was around the focus was on Mando stuff more than him
Fogs

@dracula - Exactly!

Still I hate how it undid the ending of Mando S2.
SpaceParanoids
SpaceParanoids - 6/2/2022, 3:12 PM
@Fogs - Yes. All of that build up, all of that drama and that amazing Luke reveal undone in what amounted to a few days.

So we were invested for nothing.
dracula
dracula - 6/2/2022, 3:27 PM
@Fogs - that was annoying, seriously if you are going to undo it at least do it in their actual show

kind of wish we had gotten at least one season of mando going solo, either bring grogu back at the end of season 3 or start of season 4
Fogs
Fogs - 6/2/2022, 3:39 PM
@dracula - That's what I though was going to happen.

Instead we basically threw all of Mando S2 in the garbage, as @SpaceParanoids said, in a few days.

@dracula - It was disappointing at times but it was never bad. I loved the stuff with the Tuskens, Cad Bane, Black Krrstan, the Ranco were all cool additions. I liked the show but I wanted more, expected better.. the gun fights were crappy, they didn’t really delve into the criminal aspect of the show.

Boba Fett was... ok. Mostly because of Temura. And the Rancor King Kong homage. A little too whacky for my taste, and I hated that there was a random Mando episode.
Gonna watch ep 3 of Kenobi tonight and see if I still hate it.

I agree with him, I tried to make this show more of what we all wanted to see from a Boba Fett spinoff for so long. Check out my edit, we think it fixes a lot of the outstanding issues!

Wasn’t a fan of this series, and that’s with no real expectations going in. Nothing about the story seemed all that believable. Modern Suburbia probably has more complex and cutthroat underworlds than whatever that was on Tatooine.

Boba Fett is basically a show where he attempts to move into a LOCAL BUREAUCRATIC POSITION as a somewhat criminal-esque sheriff lol.

@Waddles - this sounds like such a TV Land or mid-late 2000s USA type synopsis haha. Love it

How the tables have turned. From Boba being a fan favorite character to his show only getting good when someone else showed up.

I would ditch the ENTIRE backstory of Boba Fett. We know he's a clone but leave the mysterious bounty hunter story intact. He just shows up to do a job...nothing more, nothing less. Sometimes a character is better when you know very little to nothing at all about them. Michael Myers for example. I don't need to know his backstop before him killing Judith. I don't need to know what lead him to do that...why he just snapped one day. When Rob Zombie decided to show his childhood and how he was bullied and that's what lead him to being a mass murderer was one of the most terrible things I've seen in a while. That should have never been filmed. We didn't need that and most hardcore Halloween fans didn't want that. Most Fett fans didn't want much of a background for Boba either. Mysterious is the way to go with Boba. Leave the helmet on like Mando and Dredd and the mask for MichaelMyers. Very seldom take it off. Just my thoughts but who gives a shit what I think anyway?
