    Awesome documentary!

    This documentary though is short but Is packed with information on character development of Boba Fett. The film included many great interviews and lots film footage from various Star War movies! It is a must watch! This documentary also includes clips from the new series being filmed/developed!

    Can't wait to watch the new series to be aired!!

    Migraine inducing

    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 ...

    Twenty minutes is not enough for him

    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.

    Something enjoyable for newcomers and casual viewers of "Star Wars"...

    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.

    Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett

    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.

    • Trivia
      During the development of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Fett was originally conceived as a member of a group of white-armored Imperial "supercommandos" before the idea was scrapped in favor of a solitary bounty hunter. This concept later evolved into the Mandalorians, a cultural group with strong warrior traditions, who sport armor and helmets similar to Fett's.
