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.
Yes it would bother me even if the film was good, but it would be more forgivable, particularly if it wasn't about a dumb revisionist plot point.
No I don't think he's more passable as the same guy than Hayden and Loyd are. I think the difference is more conspicuous than that.
Nor would it be dumb of them to make an effort to find somebody genuinely similar.

Far, far from the truth. I think I have demonstrated that plenty on these forums. I may have an unfortunate tendency to express my opinions rather strongly, but I realize my opinions are just that, opinions, and I have a good deal of respect for those of others.
Not in my recent experience. Nor in the evidence of your mocking posts on this thread. Might look up "respect" in the dictionary. You know one of those clear cut words you're always talking about.
My point was that it is unreasonable to suggest that they go about anaylizing every aspect of an actors face to make sure every little thing matches up to the point of being able to truely convince someone that one actor is the other actor when he was a kid
It's reasonable to expect them to get somebody that looks genuinely similar.
(but only when they appear on screen together, otherwise they can look as glaringly different as Hadyen and Loyd or McGregor and Genius).
I find those pairs a lot easier to buy.
I also find it unreasonable to take a poorly done casting decision and use it to conclude that some character in the story was lying, because you in real life were not convinced actor B makes a good young version of actor A.
I don't see why. You should trust the evidence of your eyes, and bullshit revisionist story stuff in a crap film doesn't deserve us trying hard to ignore glaring difference between two supposedly the same guys. Lucas fouled up and as such his attempt to push the Boba-is-a-clone story fails, which is worth noting.
You guys complain that I'm negative but you lot really are being negative here. I bring up a fun screw-up in the prequels so we can all have a bit of fun laughing at it and instead I get mocked by a bunch of prequel-defenders.
I liked the Boost's comment on Obi-Wan getting rid of the original Anakin and replacing him with some other teenage boy sometime between Ep. 1 and Ep.2. Likewise, regardless of what Lucas intended for the story, I am convinced that sometime between Ep.3 and Ep.4, Obi-Wan must have been discovered and perhaps killed, and an undercover agent of the Sith was put there in his place (which is the Obi-Wan we see in Ep.4). His job was to get Luke to leave Tantooine and go to the Death Star to get captured. Probably he was never real? An illusion made by Vader, which is why he vanished suddenly when Vader touched him with the lightsaber.This must be true, because it is obvious Ewan and Sir Alec are two different people. They don't even share the same moles on their faces.
Getting another actor for Kenobi was unavoidable. Making Boba Fett a kid clone of some new character was not.
I have nothing against your opinion in the matter, I simply disagree with you and think you're being rather unreasonable in your efforts to nitpick this film, which is quite frankly such an awful pile of crap of a film that it hardly deserves the honor of having someone pick its nits,
If you have nothing against it, then why all the aggressive mocking? You seem to like insulting me in one way or another or in various ways implying I'm unreasonable or an idiot. I'm a bit sick of it.
And I don't see what's unreasonable about having a bit of fun at a prequel's expense.
Also, the prequels may be shit, but they're a big issue because of how they supplanted the original Star Wars backstory and how they're pushed as The Canon Backstory, plus the fact that they're films claiming to be Star Wars. So they're significant whether we like them or not. That means there's plenty reason to nitpick them. Everything in them should be looked at an examined and everything that was a fuckup should be pointed out and people should look at how all the fuckups work together to make up the grand fuckup that is the full effect of those films.
