Sous le casque: L'héritage de Boba Fett

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 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.

Running at a mere 21 minutes, the 2021 documentary "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett", that I only assume came into being because of the upcoming "The Book of Boba Fett" TV series, was good enough for a single viewing.

Personally, then I found that "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett" offered nothing new to me. This was all stuff that I had seen or heard before. But it was still watchable and enjoyable for what it was. And I suppose for the casual "Star Wars" viewer or new-coming fan, then director Brian Kwan's 2021 documentary offers some great insight into the phenomena that is Boba Fett.

Sure, "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett" was a little bit of enjoyable documentary, but it wasn't something that made me go 'wow'. Nor is it something with enough contents to it to support more than just a first and single viewing.

My rating of "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.

This doc was great... there was a lot of good info and some things I didn't know about the making of the character. BUT, it's a pretty bad oversight (assuming it wasn't intentional) to not mention the voice of Baba Fett, Jason Wingreen. To me, he is THE voice of the character.

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.
