A/V The Mandalorian (Jon Favreau SW Live Action show) - Now featuring former Man in DeLorean

Spoiler

For all we know the Mando is Fett and those "flashbacks" are a red herring (or Fett absorbed the original droid hating Mandalorian's memories while in the sarlacc)

 

More or less. Nice catch.

 

Update

 

(All this week in my brain)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BE BOBA FETT.

 

Spoiler

You’re thinking that and I’m over here thinking how great it would be to hear Temuera Morrison say “The Sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible.” as Boba Fett in a live action TV Star Wars TV show

 

Temuera Morrison would only work if Boba Fett never took off his helmet. Otherwise, he's too old and it'd have to be Daniel Logan.

 

Given the commitment to keeping helmets on so far, I'd say it's a safe bet we won't see Boba Fett do it.

 

Well, maybe, maybe not. Boba's not a "real Mandalorian", after all. They might do it just so he can be played by Temuera. They could also CGI de-age him.

 

Thus far Boba Fett has showed more commitment to keeping his helmet on then any single person we know that lived on Mandalore.

 

Boba would be approximately 38/39. Daniel Logan is 32 and Bodie Taylor is 43. Too bad neither of them really look like Temuera as they've gotten older.

This is what Bodie looks like these days:

 

You'd need to put Temura in "youngening makeup" for the cafeteria shots. It's not easy to make a 40-odd year old look convincingly like a 20-odd year old. It is much easier to age somebody up with makeup, than to make them look much younger.

 

Circa 15 years ago, yes.

 

Temuera Morrison would have been great as a 60+ year old Boba Fett in league with the First Order and leading Mandalorians against the Republic. Too bad they didn't go that route with the Sequel Trilogy.

 

Given that clones are supposed to age at twice human rate, and given that the army was ordered "almost ten years ago" and given that 3 years pass, Cody should be chronologically 13 at most, and biologically, about 26.

 

Maybe The Sarlacc messed him up pretty bad, it’s why he looks older than he actually is.

of course, Boba is the original Mr “this is my face.” So regardless of his Mandalorianness he doesn’t really need to take the bucket off.

 

Speaking as somebody who's JC icon is Holiday Special Boba Fett, I'm totally over him for right now. I'm extremely glad that the New Canon has been reserving him for a special occasion. It would be nice to somehow recapture the mystery and coolness of the character as he existed prior to seeing his origins, as well as how (most of) the EU mishandled him through the 90s and 2000s. I could probably list off on one hand how many comics and novels did him the justice as to how he appears in The Empire Strikes Back. Hell, not even Return of the Jedi got him right, and I love that movie.

 

His best appearances, IMO, were in "Twin Engines of Destruction" (probably his best), and the various John Wagner/Cam Kennedy one-shots from 1995-97. "The Last One Standing" was okay, but his character still seemed...off.

Speaking of "Twin Engines"...I would love to see a New Canon return of Jodo Kast. Let the fanboys get all worked up in assuming it's Fett, and then pull the rug out and watch them complain.

 

All it would have taken was a nondescript looking Temuera Morrison in Maz Kanata's castle calling the First Order on Han once he sees him in TFA instead of that generic bounty hunter woman, whatever her name was. It would have gone right over the heads of the casual audience, but the fans would have gone wild.
