Sous le casque: L'héritage de Boba Fett

Good documentary, but why is there absolutely zero reference to Jason Wingreen, the original voice of Boba Fett? It's almost as if there is some sort of contract at Disney that does not allow them to talk about the movies pre-Special Editions.

Seems like a huge disservice to the man that originally voiced the character (and who is the better voice, in my eyes).

This consists of interviews(new and old) with the cast and crew, all of whom have something compelling to add within their area of expertise(and there is a very clear love of what they're working on), clips from the subject, behind-the-scenes footage, and incomplete effects shots.

It's 22(well, 20 and a half without end credits) minutes long. This is found on Disney Plus.

They talk about the history of the character. The original design. How originally the look was for an army, not an individual. The Holiday Special. Him appearing in the Marin County Parade. The helmet. Poncho. Jeremy Bulloch (RIP). The subtle movements. Doing conventions. Temuera Morrison, Daniel Logan. The prequels, The Clone Wars. Guiness Book of World Records largest collection of Boba items. The Mandalorian. Bringing about "The Book".

I recommend this to any fan of the property. 8/10.

This was a very interesting documentary. I didn't know most of the stuff they talked about. It was very interesting to see how Boba was created and the process included with creating the character. It was cool to see how he started out, and what was done with the character. The facts they added about Boba were also cool. Especially the one where it said he only got a total of 6 minutes and 32 seconds of screen time in The Empire Strikes Back and Return if the Jedi combined.

I feel this documentary could have been way longer, and they could have added a lot more stuff, and dove a little deeper on the stuff they did, but regardless, this was a very well done, very informative documentary.

In Star Wars, Boba Fett is one of the most iconic characters in the saga and perhaps my favorite. A documentary about him was needed.

I don't know how much material they had on this character, but I know the result is too short. I was hoping for a documentary long enough to fill my evening, but it didn't.

However, I liked everything that was shown. The twenty minutes go by quickly, too much, self-celebrating my favorite character.

I would have liked more emotions, more interviews but maybe that's okay too.

Definitely a must for any passionate about the character. But we still want more.

Running at a mere 21 minutes, the 2021 documentary "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett", that I only assume came into being because of the upcoming "The Book of Boba Fett" TV series, was good enough for a single viewing.

Personally, then I found that "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett" offered nothing new to me. This was all stuff that I had seen or heard before. But it was still watchable and enjoyable for what it was. And I suppose for the casual "Star Wars" viewer or new-coming fan, then director Brian Kwan's 2021 documentary offers some great insight into the phenomena that is Boba Fett.

Sure, "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett" was a little bit of enjoyable documentary, but it wasn't something that made me go 'wow'. Nor is it something with enough contents to it to support more than just a first and single viewing.

My rating of "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.
