Temuera Morrison, the iconic actor behind Boba Fett in the Star Wars universe, has expressed his eagerness to don the Mandalorian armor once again, despite no confirmed plans from Lucasfilm for his return. Speaking at Tampa Bay Comic Convention’s FanX panel, hosted by Collider’s Maggie Lovitt, Morrison joined Daniel Logan, who portrayed young Boba Fett and voiced the character in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, to discuss their roles and the possibility of reprising them in a galaxy far, far away. Morrison’s candid and humorous plea to fans, urging them to petition Lucasfilm, stole the show and reignited hope among Star Wars enthusiasts for more adventures featuring the legendary bounty hunter.
During the panel, when asked about future appearances in the Star Wars franchise, Morrison was straightforward about the lack of updates from Lucasfilm. “No,” he said, addressing the crowd with his characteristic charm, as reported by Collider. “I think we really have to treasure those moments now. All of you need to send a fax, or a letter, or an email, to those powers that be at Lucasfilm. I'm sure they'd love to hear from everyone. Please give Daniel Logan and Temuera Morrison another chance and put them somewhere.” The audience erupted in laughter, but Morrison’s words carried a sincere undertone, reflecting his deep connection to the character of Boba Fett, whom he first portrayed as Jango Fett in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and later as the titular character in The Book of Boba Fett.
Morrison’s call to action resonated strongly with fans, sparking a wave of excitement on social media. Enthusiasts of The Book of Boba Fett expressed their desire for a second season, while others speculated about potential crossovers in series like The Mandalorian or Ahsoka. The panel discussion highlighted the enduring popularity of Boba Fett, a character who has captivated audiences since his debut in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Morrison’s portrayal in The Book of Boba Fett, which explored the bounty hunter’s rise to power on Tatooine, was a fan favorite, despite mixed critical reception, making the prospect of his return a hot topic among Star Wars devotees.
Daniel Logan, who played young Boba in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and voiced the character in animated projects, added his own perspective on the secretive nature of Star Wars productions. He playfully roasted Morrison, noting the actor’s extensive footprint in the franchise. “The crazy part with Star Wars is that you don't know about filming anything until like, a week, or maybe two, or even less than that, right?” Logan said. “But the thing is, Temuera is the greediest person in Star Wars. He's played so many characters, he's got the most characters in Star Wars, if you go down the line — from Jango, Boba, all of the Clones, Rex, Cody, Fives — he's got the most characters in Star Wars.” Logan’s comments underscored Morrison’s versatility, having portrayed not only Boba and Jango Fett but also the vast array of clone troopers in the prequel trilogy and animated series.
Logan remained optimistic about future opportunities, particularly in the current Star Wars era set after Return of the Jedi. “There’s going to be plenty of opportunities,” he continued, “especially for this guy, especially with this era of Star Wars, like Ahsoka, and all this stuff set after Return of the Jedi.” His confidence reflects the expansive storytelling potential within the Star Wars universe, where interconnected series and films continue to explore new and familiar characters alike. The chemistry between Morrison and Logan was evident, their mutual affection for the franchise and each other charming the audience and reinforcing their status as beloved figures in Star Wars lore.
The panel at Tampa Bay Comic Convention highlighted the strong fanbase that continues to champion Boba Fett’s legacy. Morrison’s lighthearted “fax campaign” suggestion may have been delivered with a grin, but it tapped into a genuine desire among fans to see more of the character. Whether Lucasfilm will heed the call remains uncertain, but the enthusiasm from both the actors and their supporters suggests that Boba Fett’s story is far from over. For now, fans can relive Morrison and Logan’s performances, as The Book of Boba Fett and Star Wars: Attack of the Clones are available to stream on Disney+.
