Hunter sketch because I was bored
(i used Tem’s face as a reference)
might make this into an actual piece idk yet
We stand behind you, Temuera. ❤️
Dear Temuera Morrison,
Disney as a company doesn’t deserve your dedication and skill as an actor. You do not deserve to be sidelined. But you also deserve to be part of better projects: to work with directors that listen, creators who are passionate about and familiar with their material. Stories that know what they’re doing.
We as a fandom know that and appreciate you accordingly. You will always be the best and only Jango Fett and every clone character we’ve ever known and loved.
Love, the fandom ❤️
Biblically accurate Bad Batch. You asked for it...
It's only side profiles for now
I might add Omega and Echo later
"GOOD SOLDIERS FOLLOW ORDERS!"
"FOR REPUBLIC!"
Rex my beloved, he suffered in Clone Wars so much. Lost his brothers, people counted him and his brothers as numbers, racism against clones... But he stood tall and never let his guard down.
Return of the King 💚
Coffee shop AU where Boba Fett owns a café called “Boba’s Tea” where they obviously sell boba, Polynesian treats, latte art, assorted pastries and is home to the following employees...
A single dad with a shady past attending community college classes at night for a degree in linguistics who works in the café to help support his very quiet son, Grogu (Gregory who can’t pronounce his own name) with deep olive skin.
A former military sniper turned chef who served with Boba in a civil war they refuse to ever speak of again and takes her kitchen cleanliness as seriously as she does the condition of her knife collection.
An Instagram influencer with multiple medals in martial arts who has a food content TikTok where she displays her latte art whenever she isn’t being yelled at for being on her phone, but with all the business her two and a half million followers bring in? Boba feels it’s a worthy compromise.
A tech/engineering major with an on-call IT job during the week and teaches Taekwondo on Saturdays. Helped Boba set up a website for the café, an espresso machine broke while he was there and fixed it in no time. Now, the “tech wiz” can work his magic every time the single dad “accidentally” breaks something else in the café for an excuse to see him again. He also occasionally babysits Grogu and teaches him how to code and a little martial arts to occupy his little brain.
And last but certainly not least, a divorced man who was a police officer in his younger days, turned barista in his retirement and loving every minute of it except for when he sees “them damn skateboarding kids” ruining the curbs outside with their wax or trying to track down the “dirt bags” who tagged the alley wall with “death watch” graffiti consistent with a local gang.
TEMUERA MORRISON behind the scenes of STAR WARS
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones // The Mandalorian Season 2
Love these edits!😍
Some more blonde-haired Tem edits! I can't tell y'all how badly I want to see him as live-action Clone Wars Rex 😭
Also, sorry if they're kind of pixelated. Didn't anticipate sharing them, was originally just going to merge them to create more Rex!
The man, the myth, the legend.
Bored, so have another FaceApp edit, this time it’s Fives!
These are beautifully done. 💛💙
For the beat and the broken
For the lost and forsaken
Let us never surrender
For the glory and the fall
The Return...Of Boba Fett!
(AKA The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 6 Chapter 14: The Tragedy)
Boba Fett! Back from the dead! Back in his Mandalorian Armor & Back in business!
This episode was SO dope! Boba Fett's battle with the numerous Stormtroopers & their Transport Ships was epic! He was kicking shebs even without his Mando Armor. But when he detonated one of Din's Grav Charges on the Stormtroopers. Then landed behind that one dazed & confused trooper. And rose up slowly for that reveal. His iconic Mandalorian Armor being donned once again by its rightful owner. You knew right then and there it was a wrap for all of those Stormtroopers. Game over, man!
It was so dope to finally see Boba in action. And NOT on/ in a book, novel, graphic novel, magazine, newspaper, cartoon, evening news, comic book, computer/ video game, trading card, poster, talk show, coloring book, sticker, iron-on, public service announcement, t-shirt, pajamas, baseball cap, infomercial, the back of a cereal box, fan- made film, TV ad/ commercial, the internet, Youtube video, reality TV show or social media….
No. This WAS Official. Legit. Bonafide. On-screen. Live action. In living color. As I watched The triumphant & long-awaited Return of Boba Fett I was struck with so many emotions: surprise, elation, excitement, pride, fulfillment & vindication. And it didn't happen on some obscure series that Star Wars fans weren't paying any attention to. Boba Fett's historic comeback occurred in the spectacular Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian. During its exciting second Season. The best Star Wars TV show (at that time).
During Season 2, Temuera Morrison really brought a lot to the table playing Boba Fett. If they plan on letting Tem return as Boba in the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu film, I hope they let him bring that same vibe, energy, vigor, action & battle prowess displayed in The Mandalorian. Bring Back THIS Boba Fett.
I know they want to let other Mandalorian characters get a lot of attention and become popular. And there will be plenty of time for all of that. But meanwhile, they need to let Boba shine on the big screen once again. After all, Boba Fett is the reason we now have so many other Mandalorians in the Galaxy far, far away…Boba definitely is Thee Mandalorian. Thee Prime Mandalorian Template. The One that Started it All, for ALL Mandalorians. If it wasn't for him, there would not be a Din Djarin, Bo-Katan Kryze, Paz Vizsla, The Armorer, etc.
Temuera Morrison as Axel Barb Wire (1996) dir. David Hogan
61 year old Temuera Morrison can GET. IT. I will not be taking questions.
no one is doing it like temuera morrison, he really got himself cast in a big tv show like that and did everything within his power to portray the character with as many specifically Māori traits as possible. actively encorportating the haka into how he fights? specifically requesting a weapon which could be wielded like a taiaha?? and then theres a whole section in the doco about how important using Māori culture in boba fetts character was. absolute fucking national treasure
Okaaaaaay! Wild theory time that many will say is totally incorrect!
This theory is partially inspired by this post by @twinterrors29
https://at.tumblr.com/twinterrors29/boba-fetts-reputation-as-the-best-bounty-hunter/cbubdg5i3k36
But it is also just a wild mind tangent that I came up with. Now on with the theory!
...
Boba Fett is a feared bounty hunter, he's been in the game since he was 10 years old, since his father the great Jango Fett died.. He's good at what he does. He's respected and revered. But here's the thing...
Anyone could be Boba Fett.
Throughout canon many have been Boba Fett. In old canon the name Boba Fett was just alias used by Jaster Mereel. It wasn't until "Attack of the Clones" was released that anyone had even heard of Jango. And during "The Clone Wars" TV show, during the arc at the end of season 2, we see that no one can differentiate between Boba and the other clones.
So where am I going with this?
This:
Is not Boba Fett.
Or...well...he might be.
Don't believe me? Neither do I. Here's some shaky proof:
Boba Fett was born in roughly 32 BBY and the show "The Mandalorian" takes place in roughly 9 ABY, which makes Boba Fett approximately 41 years old. During the events of "Attack of the Clones" Jango Fett is 44 years old having been born in 66 BBY (the beginning of the Clone Wars was in 22 BBY lasting till 19 BBY). During which time he looked like this:
(It's hard to find a good photo of him.)
Now YES, the actor has aged, Boba fell into a Sarlacc and is dealing with scaring, and he has spend the last 5 years on Tatooine (we all know how this goes for people...)
But this ⬆️ is the work of 20 years.
Case in point, I have a hard time believing that Boba and Jango are roughly the same age, I mean look:
One obviously hasn't aged as delicately as the other.
There's not really much that can explain this, we fans just look over it because we love Temuera Morrison so much (I love him too).
But who do we know who have accelerated aging that would explain this difference? The other clones, of course.
The clones (with the exception of Boba) were genetically modified so that they would age at twice the normal human rate, at 10 they were physically and mentally 20, and battle ready.
But they aged at twice the normal human rate, why would a 40 year old look 60 instead of 80?
Well there's a simple answer. Deceleration.
In the Republic Commando books, Skirata finds a way to slow the clones aging down to a normal human rate. Unfortunately nothing in canon has shown that this is possible, but as many have pointed out, Rex was looking really spry in "Rebels."
So it is possible that some 10 years after the war, a cure was found.
During the year 19 BBY the clones were roughly 26-28 years old, ten years later in 9 BBY when the "Kenobi" series take place, clones without decelerate aging would appear nearly 50 years old, and lucky for us we see a 501st trooper in a cameo:
Now, he's obviously older and grizzly, but he still more closely resembles the younger Boba Fett than Jango who is closer to his age physically.
...
I'm not saying that anything I've said here is definitive proof that the Boba Fett from "The Book of Boba Fett" and "The Mandalorian" is a Padmé decoy, far from it. But I am saying that there's enough here that there's a chance that it's true. Especially with the drastic personality change that we see from Boba in the original series, stern and serious, dangerous. A personality that even carries over into "The Clone Wars" and the Boba Fett young readers books, though technically Legends now. This new Boba is not the stoic and legendary bounty hunter we know, and that may be the point, but it won't stop me from theorizing.
After all this may be the real Boba Fett:
Or maybe this one:
Or this one!
Or maybe the real Boba is dead.
We may never know...
Which is the real Boba? Are they all the same Boba? How many Bobas are there?
What if the Boba Fett we've come to know and love, isn't even the real Boba Fett?
Imagine if we’d gotten a more accurate representation of Temuera Morrison’s genes in The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch. The skin tone, the hair, the facial structure.
