    Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen are having the time of their lives with The Book of Boba Fett. In a recent interview with the Rolling Stone magazine, the actors opened up a bit more about their experiences taking on action roles at their age, and Morrison delves into the stark differences between playing Jango and Boba Fett, including the differences in productions between then and now.



    Morrison played Jango Fett, Boba's father, in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, and he points out the differences between playing the father and the son, 20 years later, from both character and production perspectives:



    He then had an amusing story about driving George Lucas mad while filming in the rain in Sydney:

    Morrison is now the third credited person to play Boba Fett, following Jeremy Bulloch in the original trilogy and Daniel Logan, who portrayed a young Boba in both Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars. And that is still surreal to him, especially when it comes to signing autographs, as he's witnessed both actors sign as 'Boba Fett' while, until now, he was used to writing 'Jango Fett':



    The Book of Boba Fett is quite an unusual action series in today's world, as the two leads are 58 and 60 years old. And they are very aware of that, as Morrison said:

    But as Ming-Na Wen added, they are very aware of their responsibilities and take them very seriously:



    Morrison, as he said, was very excited when he met with Jon Favreau, as he knew they were doing The Mandalorian:

    While filming action sequences, according to Morrison, one of the biggest challenges for them was the sands of Tatooine.



    Wen added:



    And that led to an interesting question: when are they getting off Tatooine? Morrison prefers to leave that to Jon Favreau and company:



    An interesting question the show will answer in the episodes to come is the relationship between Fennec Shand and Boba Fett. What is the exact nature of their bond? Wen gave her take on it:

    But it's not just about opportunity, but also respect, as she added:



    Another question that has surrounded the show ever since the first trailer is why Boba Fett has his helmet off so much of the time. As Morrison said, this has a practical reason behind it, and also the fact that he wanted people to see his face while he is acting:



    While it might have been jarring at first seeing so much of helmet-less Boba Fett (especially after going through two seasons of The Mandalorian, in which we barely saw Pedro Pascal's face), we are starting to get used to it.



    Chapter 2 of The Book of Boba Fett is already out, so we'll have to wait until next Wednesday for the next chapter in his adventure. Check out our review here, and the latest episode of The Mando Fan Show here.
