Reason works fine in this one. As my second post demonstrates. There is plenty of reason in my viewpoint. It seems like you believe that if you don't agree with the thinking in a particular viewpoint then it means there must be no reason in the viewpoint. That strikes me as a narrow view. People's views don't have to be to your tastes to have any sense to them.

Meanwhile we have two distinctly different looking guys pushed at us side by side while we're being told one's a clone of the other. Now THAT doesn't make sense. 

 

The bottom line is that it is a movie. Those are the actors they chose to play those too roles, and by the script one is a clone of the other. Maybe they were way off on casting. I personally am not bother by them being played by two different people. They look well enough alike to me, there are so many giantic flaws in that film, I can't possibly care too much about this issue, which to me seem like a nonissue.

Ask youself this, if the film has been smack you in the rear end fantastic, would this still bother you?

If young Boba had been blond haired fair skinned, then I'd be right there with you. But they got a kid with the same complexion and hair color as Morrison, and I think the kid is plenty passable for a younger version of the older actor. Far more so than Hayden is to Loyd. Or Puppet TPM Yoda to ESB and ROTJ Yoda. Covering the kid's face the entire movie would be nonsensical (about as nonsensical as having Boba Fett in the story to begin with, actually), I think it would be dumb of them to do that just out of fear that a few viewers are going to come to the obvious conclusion that the two characters are not played by the same actor.
