Temuera Morrison, the star who played Boba Fett, has expressed his determination to reunite with the Star Wars team to ensure the comeback of his iconic bounty hunter. Despite his absence in The Mandalorian season 3, many fans expected Morrison to reprise his role as Boba Fett, considering the show's strong emphasis on Mandalorian culture. However, disappointingly, the renowned bounty hunter was only briefly mentioned in an early episode before his character's involvement was cut.
Fortunately, during his recent appearance on the Whatnot UK live podcast, Morrison openly discussed his plans to visit Lucasfilm and have a conversation about the future of his character. When asked about the possibility of returning to Star Wars, Morrison confidently stated:
In L.A, there are several things happening. On my way back to New Zealand, I intend to make a stop in L.A. to see what's going on in the galaxy. This is the reason why I planned to visit and ensure I am not left ignored.
These remarks bring relief to many fans of Morrison's work in Star Wars. Although The Book of Boba Fett did not receive a highly positive response from both fans and critics, it is undeniable that Morrison's portrayal of the character and his long-standing dedication to the franchise have been truly admirable. Therefore, it is hoped that Morrison's trip to Los Angeles proves fruitful and that further details about his return to the franchise are unveiled.
What Role Does Boba Fett Have In The Mandoverse Going Forward?
Another interesting point discussed during Morrison's appearance on the podcast was the potential future appearances of his character. Morrison's comments regarding The Book of Boba Fett season 2 suggest that there is a possibility for the continuation of the bounty hunter's storyline now that he is the Daimyo of Mos Espa. However, Morrison also made intriguing remarks about Captain Rex, a popular clone captain from Star Wars: The Clone Wars who has never appeared in live-action. When asked about Rex, Morrison responded with enthusiasm, stating, "I would actually love to bring Captain Rex to life." This statement, coinciding with the upcoming premiere of the Ahsoka show, aligns with the widely-held fan theory that Rex should be featured in Ahsoka. It is clear that Morrison is open to the idea of reprising his role as Rex, whether in Ahsoka, The Book of Boba Fett season 2, or even Dave Filoni's Mandalorian movie. With these enticing opportunities, it would be unwise for the franchise to overlook Morrison's potential return to the Star Wars universe.
