Boba Fett died today  

 

 

Jeremy Bulloch, Original Boba Fett Actor in ‘Star Wars’ Films, Dies at 75

VARIETY.COM

---

Jeremy Bulloch, the British actor who starred as bounty hunter Boba Fett in the original “Star Wars” trilogy, died in London. He was 75.

 

 

 

 

He really physically acted Boba Fett so well that he, in part, made the character. He will be missed, but he left a mark. 

 

The original voice of Boba Fett, Jason Wingreen, died in 2015 (his voice was dubbed over by Temuera Morrison ever since the special edition DVD's of the original trilogy came out after the PT released in theaters sadly - the retcon makes sense but Boba Fett's original voice and line readings had much to do with what made him cool). Now Jeremy Bulloch, who physically inhabited the role in the OT (minus stunts), now passes away. Temuera Morrison is now the only real Boba Fett still alive (actors for special edition OT Boba Fett stuff do not count). 

 

And not so long after we just lost David Prowse, who physically inhabited Darth Vader in the OT. We still have Vader's voice though, James Earl Jones! At 89 though, he isn't long for this world though I imagine.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I accidentally had something from the episode spoiled for me this morning because it showed up in "Trending" on Twitter. 

[skillzdadirecta]

HOLY SHIT.

[TheLeon]

Huh. 

[CayceG]

Holy shit that was awesome. I'll give it a bit to digest, but man that was some good TV.

 

 

 

Remember, there's a little vignette after the credits. Be sure to watch it too because it was some fucking awesome hype. 

[CayceG]

I will say this though--Star Wars is becoming very Marvel-like in how there are now infinite spinoffs. Make of that what you will.

Ok, someone who has paid attention to all the announcements and other nonsense, does this mean that season 3 is going to be about Boba Fett, or are they going to be separate things?

I don't think so. I think S3 will center around retaking Mandalore, until we meet up with the child again (hopefully).

As far as I understand it, it's a standalone parallel thing. 

[LazyPiranha]

So late 2021 will have two separate Star Wars shows starring mandalorians?

big spoilers

Luke wrecking those dark troopers was amazing and was like Vader wrecking people in Rogue One but done right. In RO Vader is the enemy and it's weird people are so excited about him murdering all these people. Luke destroying all the dark troopers is fantastic. 

 

[LazyPiranha]

Another question for those paying more attention, when does this show take place? How long after RotJ is this happening?

Five years I do believe.

I was going to say that pilot seemed awfully young to have been on the Death Star, but I guess that barely works.

more like activate the Skrillex troopers

[69los]

Even though it's the most logical solution, I didn't think they would go there.

[TheLeon]

I really hope we don't spend too much time in the Uncanny Valley next season. That was a fun sequence, interesting for him to make an appearance, but it'll be weird if he sticks around the show for long.

I did have a big LOL at

I love the music this EP.

And man I thought for sure that giving the viper a spear was gonna come back to bite him in the ass.

Might not have to worry about that. I think The Book of Boba Fett might be Season 3 of The Mandalorian? Maybe the first two seasons were the Book of Din. And now this.

 

Or maybe it'll be a lead in to season 3 of The Mandalorian lol.

There should be a Mando 3. I mean, he has the

Darksaber now and I feel like the plot can take off from that.

It would be lame if nothing was done about that. Seemed to be kind of a big deal. 

[CayceG]

There will be a season of each. Storytime with Boba is not Mando Season 3.

I could totally be wrong, but they can always come back to it.

December 2021 tells me that it would start as season 3 of Mandalorian is ending.

How yound do you think he was? The Empire definitely used child soldiers and I would guess he was in his early to mid twenties... so he could have been in his late teens when he was stationed on the Death Star.

So in Rebels, Sabine just hands Bo Katan the dark saber and it's cool. Here we're told Din can't do the same. What gives?

I'm guessing that's how you're not supposed to get it and since she lost the darksaber and failed to rule Mandalore, she wants to get it "legitimately". I'm fine with that explanation.
