Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett

Good documentary, but why is there absolutely zero reference to Jason Wingreen, the original voice of Boba Fett? It's almost as if there is some sort of contract at Disney that does not allow them to talk about the movies pre-Special Editions.

Seems like a huge disservice to the man that originally voiced the character (and who is the better voice, in my eyes).

In Star Wars, Boba Fett is one of the most iconic characters in the saga and perhaps my favorite. A documentary about him was needed.

I don't know how much material they had on this character, but I know the result is too short. I was hoping for a documentary long enough to fill my evening, but it didn't.

However, I liked everything that was shown. The twenty minutes go by quickly, too much, self-celebrating my favorite character.

I would have liked more emotions, more interviews but maybe that's okay too.

Definitely a must for any passionate about the character. But we still want more.

This documentary on the Star Wars character Boba Fett ties in nicely with the new Disney series The Book of Boba Fett.

The character was conceived as some kind of super imperial soldier with an enhanced costume.

He made his debut in the Star Wars Holiday Special in 1978 as a Bounty Hunter. He was also seen with Darth Vader in a parade.

The characters debut was in The Empire Strikes Back where he was played by British actor Jeremy Bulloch but voiced by Jason Wingreen.

Despite a minimal presence in Empire and The Return of the Jedi. Boba Fett struck a chord with Star Wars fans.

This was a diverting documentary with a focus on Kiwi actor Temuera Morrison who now plays Boba Fett. He made his debut in the Star Wars prequel playing Boba's father.

It would certainly be of interest who might know much about the history of the character. The main omission seems to be the lack of acknowledgement about Jason Wingreen.

This consists of interviews(new and old) with the cast and crew, all of whom have something compelling to add within their area of expertise(and there is a very clear love of what they're working on), clips from the subject, behind-the-scenes footage, and incomplete effects shots.

It's 22(well, 20 and a half without end credits) minutes long. This is found on Disney Plus.

They talk about the history of the character. The original design. How originally the look was for an army, not an individual. The Holiday Special. Him appearing in the Marin County Parade. The helmet. Poncho. Jeremy Bulloch (RIP). The subtle movements. Doing conventions. Temuera Morrison, Daniel Logan. The prequels, The Clone Wars. Guiness Book of World Records largest collection of Boba items. The Mandalorian. Bringing about "The Book".

I recommend this to any fan of the property. 8/10.

This was a very interesting documentary. I didn't know most of the stuff they talked about. It was very interesting to see how Boba was created and the process included with creating the character. It was cool to see how he started out, and what was done with the character. The facts they added about Boba were also cool. Especially the one where it said he only got a total of 6 minutes and 32 seconds of screen time in The Empire Strikes Back and Return if the Jedi combined.

I feel this documentary could have been way longer, and they could have added a lot more stuff, and dove a little deeper on the stuff they did, but regardless, this was a very well done, very informative documentary.
