7. He’s Been Depicted By Eight On-screen Characters
Jeremy Bulloch played Fett through most of the character’s onscreen life. When he missed shooting for one day, stand-in John Morton filled in, while Jason Wingreen gave his voice. For the special editions, he was dubbed by Temeura Morrison, the performing artist who played Jango Fett in the prequels. For special editions, George Lucas required more Fett footage. However, they decided that flying Bulloch in would be a waste of money. Therefore, they simply utilized different Industrial Light and Magic employees who could fit into the armor. Mark Austin, a creature animator, Don Bies, a model producer, and Nelson Hall, the assistant manager of the model shop all fulfilled Fett obligations. At long last, for the prequels, we got the opportunity to meet Little Boba who was played by Daniel Logan. Logan also dubbed the voice for Boba Fett in the Clone Wars cartoon.
8. Was The Original Action Figure Controversy
While some Star Wars fans may have had the bad luck of seeing Fett on the legendarily horrendous Star Wars Holiday Special in 1978, most got some answers concerning Fett when he was an intensely promoted mail-away action figure released in 1980, acquired via mailing in confirmations of procurement of four other Star Wars figures.
The only issue was that the Fett figure was depicted with a rocket-firing knapsack. Regardless of the way that in the film Boba Fett never fired that rocket, fans were highly upset at not getting the firing Fett they were guaranteed. Kenner asserted they removed the element for safety reasons yet went ahead to deliver a few models of these figures, which have been depicted as “The Holy Grail” of Star Wars collectibles. Kenner in the end made things right decades later when they discharged a genuine rocket-terminating Boba Fett as a major aspect of their Vintage Collection. He, as well, was a mail-away figure, and as Vader may state, the circle was complete.
