Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison has called on Star Wars fans to inundate Lucasfilm with requests to see the actor reprise his role as the iconic bounty hunter, with no sign yet of The Book of Boba Fett Season 2.<\/p>\n

Morrison originally played Jango Fett in Star Wars: Episode 2 \u2013 Attack of the Clones but years later rejoined Star Wars as Jango’s son and clone Boba Fett.<\/p>\n

The last time we saw the 64-year-old New Zealander play Fett was at the end of his own show, The Book of Boba Fett<\/a>, in February 2022. The Disney+ spin-off series proved divisive, with some Star Wars fans feeling it went too far in softening the iconic villain’s character.<\/p>\n

Three-and-a-half years later and it feels like Boba Fett is truly stuck in a galaxy far, far away, with not a whiff of a return coming from Lucasfilm or parent company Disney.<\/p>\n

As reported by Collider<\/a>, Morrison, alongside Daniel Logan, who played young Boba\/Jango Fett\u2019s clone son, told fans at the FanX’s Tampa Bay Comic Convention that there\u2019s nothing in the works in terms of a new appearance.<\/p>\n

He then used the opportunity to issue his plea: \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

In truth, Morrison\u2019s \u2018fax campaign\u2019 feels more in hope than expectation. Lucasfilm has given no indication that The Book of Boba Fett will return. Will there be a The Mandalorian Season 4? Lucasfilm has yet to say, but if it does happen, perhaps Boba Fett would pop up there. Otherwise, if Lucasfilm actually makes the Dave Filoni New Republic team-up movie it has announced<\/a>, perhaps Boba will join forces with Mando and Ahsoka in an Avengers-style fight against Grand Admiral Thrawn.<\/p>\n

In June, Morrison revealed he actually pitched Lucasfilm on Boba Fett appearing in Ahsoka Season 2<\/a> (“can I be Rex and take his helmet off, please?”), pointing out that he plays not just Boba Fett but all the clones based upon the character.<\/p>\n

He also said he bumped into Star Wars stewards Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau recently and reminded them Boba Fett still exists. Apparently \u201cthey kind of said, ‘Well, well,’ they didn’t want to say too much, put it that way. There was a few whispers of \u2014 they didn’t want to say too much \u2014 but they just left it at that.”<\/p>\n

That exchange left Morrison feeling like “I’ve been preserved for a later date, and I’m going to be tastier.” He compared his feeling following the encounter to going to grandma\u2019s house and seeing \u201cthat preservative jar of peaches up on the shelf.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s what I think,\u201d he continued. \u201cI’m one of those peaches, and I’ve been put up on the shelf. I’ve been preserved for a later date, and I’m going to be tastier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, speaking at the From Clone Troopers to Bounty Hunters panel at Fan Expo Chicago, Morrison cited The Book of Boba Fett’s poor reception as the reason for the once beloved character not returning in Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu<\/a>. He added that Disney hadn\u2019t asked him to appear in the incoming film or a second season of The Book of Boba Fett.<\/p>\n

The show, which told the story of Boba Fett as he escaped from the Sarlacc Pit and acted as a miniature season of The Mandalorian, was among the worst received Star Wars shows. “This show’s reception does seem to have impacted the future of the character in the franchise,” Morrison said at the time.<\/p>\n
