The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived.
Temuera Morrison, the man who played the Clone Troopers and Jango Fett during the Prequel
trilogy has just confirmed that he will be making his return in the Mandalorian Season
2 as Boba Fett.
So, I’m going to break down everything we know so far, including one very interesting
detail about Captain Rex.
So before we get into it, make sure you smash the subscribe button for more awesome Mandalorian
Season 2 content.
Temuera Morrison has just updated his acting role portfolio through his Showcast page,
which is the top film and tv agency resource in Australia and New Zealand, where Temuera
is located.
The website is incredibly reputable and is used by most major Australian and New Zealand
actors, meaning that the information placed on there comes directly from the mouth of
Temuera Morrison and his agents.
On the page, Temuera has a list of his past film roles and credits, going all the way
back to the prequel trilogy, with Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith and even the
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter game, which is amazing by the way.
Last night, Temuera finally updated his page to confirm a new television role for 2020,
which of course is the Mandalorian Season 2.
On the listing, his role as Boba Fett is Confirmed for at least one appearance in season 2 of
the mandalorian.
Interestingly, the director panel on the listing does not include one director, but says various,
which could mean that he is featuring in multiple episodes throughout season 2 and may have
a much larger role than we are all expecting.
Again though, this could also simply be referring to the Mandalorian as a whole, which will
have different directors for every episode.
Looking at some of the other TV shows and productions listed on Temuera Morrison’s
page, we can see that where he appeared in multiple episodes of that show, he listed
the amount of episodes in brackets.
This may unfortunately point to him only making a small appearance towards the end of Season
2, but again it doesn’t mean much at this point, because some of his listings have his
appearance in 1 episode in brackets, likely just meaning that he hasn’t specified how
many times he will show up in the Mandalorian Season 2.
An interesting point is that Captain Rex is not mentioned at all in this listing, possibly
meaning that the Rumours about Rex appearing with Ahsoka after their journey together from
Star Wars Rebels and the Battle of Endor, are not true.
Rex is absolutely one of my favourite Characters from the Clone Wars, so it would be pretty
unfortunate if he doesn’t show up in the Mandalorian Season 2.
Again, this could simply be because Temeura and his agent don’t really know the difference
between Boba Fett and Captain Rex since they are both Clones of Jango Fett, but who really
knows.
Either way, let me know what role you think Boba Fett will have in the Mandalorian Season
2.
I really hope we see him fight Cobb Vanth, from the Star Wars Aftermath novels, to get
his armor back, after Vanth bought his armor from the Jawas following Return of the Jedi.
I’m going to do a full video explaining the story of Cobb Vanth with animation very
soon, so make sure you subscribe to the channel for that before the Mandalorian Season 2 comes
out, but I’ll very quickly break it down again for those of you who haven’t heard
his story, because it is very important to Boba’s Fate.
Cobb Vanth was a former slave on the planet Tatooine who had a deep, star-shaped scar
carved into the skin of his back as a symbol of ownership from his slave-owners.
Sometime before the battle of Endor, Vanth had freed himself from the harsh life of slavery
and became a self-appointed sherrif of a small town on Tatooine, called Freetown.
After the Death of Jabba the Hutt, Vanth encountered a henchman of the Red Key raiders crime syndicate
on Tatooine, who was sent by his leader, Lorgan Movellan to retrieve Boba Fett’s armor from
the jawas who scavenged it it out of the Sarlacc.
As the self-proclaimed lawman of Freetown, Cobb Vanth secretly knew that Adwin Charu
was a member of this criminal syndicate because of his offworld clothing, but kept it quiet
and offered to vouch for him to the Jawas, so that he would be lead directly to Boba
Fett’s armour and be able to take it for himself.
Once inside the Jawa sandcrawler, Cobb Vanth demanded that he take Boba’s armor instead
of Charu.
Charu was obviously not able to allow this to happen because he was under the sickening
threat of being executed by his crime lord boss if he failed to retrieve Fett’s armor.
Because of this, Charu quickly pulled his blaster on Cobb Vanth, but Vanth reacted just
as fast, blasting a hole directly through Charu’s shoulder.
After this, Vanth took Boba’s armour and wore it around Freetown, as he patrolled the
area as a sheriff.
But either way, that is the major leak coming from Temuera Morrison’s casting agency,
confirming that he will play Boba Fett in the Mandalorian Season 2.
Thanks so much for watching, really hope you enjoyed the video.
