‘Explore the history of the legendary bounty hunter in Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett, an Original Documentary Special, now streaming on @DisneyPlus’ - https://twitter.com/starwars/status/1459189405374058498

 

^ Poor Jason Wingreen… not even a mention of him in the new ‘Under The Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett’ doc on Disney+.

An otherwise decent-ish doc on Boba - including contributions from Joe Johnston, Duwayne Dunham, plus some lovely footage of Jeremy Bulloch. George, Filoni, Ben Burtt, Daniel Logan and Temuera Morrison feature too.

Yet no Jason Wingreen at all - all the featured audio for Boba in the Original Trilogy is by Temuera Morrison - with no mention they were even changed, or who they were originally voiced by. A bit shite, that… to say the least.

A decent surface level watch overall - yet nothing new in it that I can remember (22 minutes in total).
 

It seemed yet another attempt at erasing / altering Star Wars history (or a somewhat unbelievable oversight on the part of Lucasfilm). If you were a kid, or someone new to the franchise, watching that doc… you’d never know Jason Wingreen originally voiced Boba.

Hopefully they’ll amend the documentary - or rectify the omission of Jason Wingreen in the credits… though I doubt it.
