Boba Fett actor Temuera Morrison hopes to take over a few episodes of The Mandalorian one day
Although The Book of Boba Fett Season 2 hasn’t been greenlit yet, Temuera Morrison is already plotting his revenge on his helmeted friend, Din Djarin, by taking over a few episodes of The Mandalorian.
In 2022 when The Book of Boba Fett premiered, it received a mixed response from critics and audiences, but almost everyone agreed that the episodes featuring Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin were absolute bangers. Chapter 5, “The Return of the Mandalorian,” was praised for its solid writing, world-building, and some top-tier direction by Bryce Dallas Howard. There’s no doubt that Chapters 5 and 6 were compelling, but they had little to do with Boba Fett himself and added almost nothing to his story.
Of course, with The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka being spinoffs of The Mandalorian, an appearance by Djarin isn’t an entirely wild idea, but there’s no doubt Din’s presence stole the thunder from what should’ve been Boba Fett’s time to shine. Actor Temuera Morrison agrees, and according to CinemaBlend, Morrison was in attendance at the MCM London Comic Con, where he shared his idea of how to get even with Pedro Pascal’s character:
“I would actually like my character to visit The Mandalorian, the Mando fort, or something, and come in there and kick some real serious ass as well. The way he did and came into my show, and stole an episode of my show — so I’d like to do the same thing.”
– Temuera Morrison.
Morrison’s idea is one every Mando fan would welcome, as the duo are absolute fire together. Many fans expected Boba to appear in an episode or two of The Mandalorian Season 3 and for Boba to play some role in the retaking of Mandalore, his father Jango Fett’s people through Concord Dawn. However, much to everyone’s disappointment, including Temuera’s, that never happened. Instead, Din became a bit of a second fiddle in Season 3 as the season’s main focus was Bo-Katan Kryze’s return to power and her quest to take back her planet.
For now, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni haven’t commented on the future of The Mandalorian as a series, but should a fourth season be made, Morrison deserves to return and take over for a few episodes. The actor has been a part of Star Wars since Attack of the Clones, so there’s also a good possibility he’ll appear in The Mandalorian & Grogu or the Dave Filoni Mandoverse crossover film.
