And it doesn’t help that Morrison, who we haven’t seen on screen in a Star Wars film since 2005’s Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith – looks completely different 15 years later.
Now, raise your hand if you immediately recognized Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett in that scene.
Because I sure didn’t. It doesn’t help that the shot itself is dimply lit, taking place around dusk as the character spies on Mando from a distance.
If the goal of the reveal was to shock viewers with the Boba Fett reveal, and have us gasping at the fact that The Mandalorian lured this actor back for a pivotal role in the story, then the reveal was mishandled.
