Under the Helmet: The Legacy of 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).

For people who want to learn more about the universe and the characters in particular, and here it is about Boba Fett, this documentary can basically tell about him in general. For ordinary viewers, it will not be particularly interesting, as it is more of a fan theme.

It's done well on its own. It uses archival footage and information I've never seen before about the character and his history in a simple story, so it was new to me. Not to say that it gave me anything, but the fact of the matter.

If you're a fan of the Star Wars universe, and the character of Boba Fett in particular, you might want to check it out. For the average viewer, it's unlikely to be useful.

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.

I couldn't get past the squeaky narrator.... This isn't the Mickey Mouse club... oh ... yeah it is.

It should have been Temuera Morrison narrating ...
