How could people give Jake Lloyd so much crap, yet the majority of the fans want Daniel Logan to reprise his role as Boba Fett? That is absolutely nuts! The guy can barely even talk without making a fool of himself and he has a terrible voice. Ugh...


He did AOTC ten years ago next year, which means he is now an adult not a child. Surely its a bit harsh to judge him on a movie he did ten years ago when he was still a kid?

And as an aside, I disagree with you about his performance in AOTC. I thought he was pretty good in the small number of scenes he had.

It's not just his acting in AOTC. Have you heard him being interviewed on The ForceCast? That is not Boba Fett.

It's totally ridiculous to say that he isn't Boba Fett based on an interview he did as himself. He is an actor and should not be judged by an interview where he is not in character.

I do believe that he should have to audition based on the fact he played the character as a child and not Boba in the age he will be in the series. But his very small roll as the young Boba was fine, and should never be compared to Jake Lloyd. (Who, I might add, gets way too much hassle for the job he did as Anakin. Yeah, he was totally cringe-worthy, but he was just a kid).

I think Daniel Logan should get the opportunity to reprise his role - as long as he does a good job. He shouldn't get it based on his history as the character, but if he can to it, it would be nice for the fans, himself, and continuity's sake.

The Wire is a better show than BSG...not to mention since this show is about the "lower levels" of life in Star Wars ie criminals, I think that it's a better comparison.


Oh and Omar Little evil? I dunno man, certainly he is a criminal but evil? He is definitely one of the highlight of the series.

Harrison Ford is a very mellow dude until he puts on his acting persona.

I don't get all the ire towards Daniel Logan, what has anyone seen him do besides Episode 2, anyway? He didn't even do that much in it, either. He could be decent, for all anyone knows.

Star Wars of equal quality as the Wire would be great, though they don't seem very compatible... Star Wars is probably the most un-realistic franchise out there, whereas the Wire was probably the most realistic TV drama made, police or otherwise.

It did have great characters and was neck-deep in its own context and world, which would be fantastic to have any show aspire to be like. It's also great serial writing, which is very much SW's style. So if we get a Wire meets BSG type show with a powerful crime family that also has sympathetic characters in their ranks while they hold their fort/s tooth and claw every episode, then I'm game.

At least for me, the comparisons to BSG and The Wire with a SW show was about production values and the general structure of the storytelling, with mini-arcs and larger moving in and out of one another rather than specific content.

Probably has to do with having a much smaller role.

The comparison to BSG makes me laugh...That show is about war/politics and a little religion thrown in...Now the upcoming Caprica being a show about industrial espionage?crime syndicates is probably a far better comparison...But Lucas himself has compared it to Sopranos/Deadwood right?

If you're thinking the show could be like The Wire, maybe they could do some episodes set on Naboo and bring back Jerus Jannick as a hard-drinking, insubordinate womaniser fighting crime on the mean streets of Theed. wink

Indeed McNulty is in Theed. "I can't watch it anymore with out thinking, "hey...McNulty".

But again I think the only thing that makes people compare it to SBG is the space angle, which I think is a bit narrow minded. Just like BSG was a space version of West Wing and Black hawk Down, SW LA seems to be Deadwood, Sopranos, The Wire in SW universe.

No problems with Jake lloyd on my end happy

I still think that Daniel would be perfect(keeping in mind that there is no real reason to use his voice while the helmet is on). Boba would be about about 15 years of age at the start of the Dark Times timeframe, depending on when the story is set.

Daniel would be perfect to play a 15-18 year old version of Fett. He's slightly shorter than Jeremy but that an easy fix for LFL.

And being that he's also a super nice guy and very giving to the fans certainly helps his cause in my eyes, but the fact that I've met him also makes me somewhat biased. Heck he even gave me a hug confused after we finished our ten minute chat. tongue
