Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett

This doc was great... there was a lot of good info and some things I didn't know about the making of the character. BUT, it's a pretty bad oversight (assuming it wasn't intentional) to not mention the voice of Baba Fett, Jason Wingreen. To me, he is THE voice of the character.

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.

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.

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.

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.
